He lets out a small laugh. “It did. Take it all in. Enjoy every moment.”

I open my eyes and look around, realizing we’re now floating in the sky. It truly is an unimaginable feeling of bliss, freedom, and a few nerves, though they’re better now that the parachute has been successfully deployed.

We sail through the beautiful sky until a huge target begins to come into view. The landing field.

Oh god. The ground is getting closer and closer.

Tanner shouts, “When I say now, do what they said to do with your legs.”

I nervously respond, “Okay.”

I’m definitely closing my eyes for this part. I’m terrified.

Tanner manages to position us so that we’re about to land precisely on the big, painted target area. I have no idea how he did that.

The ground isn’t far now. Oh my god. He yells, “Now.”

I hold my legs up and squeeze my eyes shut until I feel him running on the ground, eventually coming to a complete stop.

Peeling my eyes open, I see the ground is here. We made it. We’re alive. I think.

His arms immediately surround me. “Are you okay?”

I breathe, “Wow. Can we do it again?”

He laughs. “Not today, but another time for sure.”

He works to unhook me and as soon as he does, my adrenaline practically bursts. I turn around and tackle him to the ground, smashing my lips to his.

I’m straddling him while we kiss. I’m on such a high. I want him. Badly.

A throat clearing again breaks us apart. Why won’t this guy go away?

I mumble, “Cockblocker,” into Tanner’s lips, and feel him smile into me.

We sit up, and the man takes a few more photos of us while we wait for the skydiving company to pick us up by van.

An hour later, we’re armed with photos and in Tanner’s car on the way home. It’s a two-lane highway through the seemingly secluded cornfields of western Pennsylvania. My adrenaline is still pumping through me.

“Tanner, pull over.”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“Do it.”

He does, worry written all over his face. “Are you okay?”

I start unbuttoning my jeans.

“Umm, what are you doing?”

“I need you. Right now.”

“Here? We’re in bumblefuck. Anyone could drive by and see us.”

“Don’t care.”

I pull down my jeans and panties and then practically leap into his lap. I kiss him as my hands work his belt and jeans down enough to free his cock.
