They decide to meet at the trail head in part to hike and get some fresh air, but more to be together in a hot and sweaty environment where there would be hands grasped to help up a steep grade or a little nudge on a lower back around a pass.
He is glad to see her and she is glad for the company and was growing to particularly enjoy his.
There was little talking at first as when you ascend pigeon hill counter clockwise the most intense and steepest climb is right out of the gate. She huffs and puffs and stops hands on her hips but as he is in better shape he manages the incline easily. Once they get to a more level terrain they chat with ease, the eye contact welcome and the smiles genuine.
They'd not seen any other hikers yet though the path hadn't stretched on much by this point so he sees his chance to pull her into him for a deep kiss and a tender hello. She responds and reacts to the kiss with her arms draping around his neck and her pelvis arching toward him. He resumes the kiss after the pleasantries and the delicious serotonin gets them both moving again.
They walk for a while hand in hand up and down the peaks and dips and over roots and rocks. She stumbles a bit but he keeps his hold on her and she's grateful for the stabilizing presence.
She doesn't know it but he's been looking around for somewhere to veer off the path; a place with some privacy and cover. She's not looking anywhere but down at her feet to avoid overlooking perilous obstacles and at him.
She can't stop herself from looking at him. The sweat darkened areas of his t-shirt remind her of that night when the beads on his forehead were wiped away by her hands as he nestled his head between her legs until she came more times than she could count.
His exertion sounds are not quite as arousing as they were that night, but a pleasant addition to the soundtrack of birds and weather in the elevation. When he catches her eye he smiles and those smiles are worth every step her fit bit registers.
She asks to stop for a moment and have some water and they do; using her towel to wipe away the sweat, he's enjoying the show. Her breasts jiggle along with the wiping movement, her neck is bending in alluring ways and her eyes are closed and her lips parted.
It's not ecstasy but it's close enough to make him twitch in his shorts. The way she looks when she is warmed up and feeling good is such a temptation to him. Standing close, they make some small talk about their day and challenged breathy phrases settle to normal speech so they start moving again. He walks a few paces behind eyes on the shape before him. Her hips are swaying with every upward step and her ass is ever so tightly contained by her athletic shorts. Fuck, he thinks shielding his eyes from the overhead sun seeking that cover with an increasing need.
Entering a well traveled area with boulders and rocky walls and paths that explorers more than hikers tend to travail he takes her hand and starts winding his way around, down and behind. She follows him both wondering and knowing where they're headed.
Turning to look behind he can't make out anything he saw ahead as they entered the area above, then he catches her eye and facing toward her pulls on her arm and she moves like a yo-yo on a string at his tug landing with a thud into his trunk.
Her inhale on impact is sharp and he's not going to let it dull for a moment as he presses her to him, one hand gripping her by the hip the other pulling her mouth to his by his fingers entwining in her hair and resting forcefully on the back of her neck. After a needy and heart racing period of kissing comes,
"Your ass looks fantastic in those shorts but they'll look even better on the ground along with your panties." He muses as he lays a thick flannel sleeping bag over a flattish table sized rock.
