**Beyond the Edge**
Part 71
Beyond the Edge was a place Eric had been waiting for Maya to reach, a point of no return where her desires would consume her completely. As he gazed into her eyes, he could see the anticipation burning within them, a flame that flickered with every beat of her heart. Maya's eyes never left his as Eric's hands moved to her hair, gently washing the soap from her locks. The water cascaded down around them, creating a steamy atmosphere that surrounded them like a cocoon. Eric's fingers massaged her scalp, sending shivers down her spine, and Maya's eyes fluttered closed in response. But Eric knew she couldn't stay there for long. He reached out, his hands grasping her shoulders, and turned her around. The water hit her skin, sending rivulets of water down her back, and Eric's eyes followed the path, his gaze burning with desire. Maya felt his eyes on her, and her skin tingled in response. She knew Eric was building up to something, and she was willing to wait. For now. As the water continued to cascade down around them, Maya turned back to Eric, her eyes locked onto his. The air was thick with tension, and Eric could feel Maya's body responding to his touch. He reached out, his hands grasping her waist, and pulled her close. Maya's body pressed against his, and Eric could feel her heart racing with anticipation. As they stood there, the water pouring down around them, Eric's fingers danced across Maya's skin. She gasped, her eyes fluttering closed, as Eric's hands moved to her breasts, massaging them gently. The sensation was almost unbearable, and Maya's body trembled with desire. Eric's eyes locked onto hers, and he could see the longing burning within them. He knew she was ready for more, ready to take the next step. And Eric was more than happy to oblige. With a gentle touch, Eric turned Maya around, his hands guiding her to the edge of the shower. The water cascaded down around them, creating a steamy atmosphere that surrounded them like a cocoon. Maya's eyes locked onto Eric's, a look of pure anticipation burning within them. As the water continued to pour down around them, Eric's hands moved to her hips, holding her in place. Maya's body trembled with desire, her muscles tensing as she waited for Eric's next move. And then, in a movement that was both gentle and firm, Eric took her to the next level. The world around them melted away, leaving only the sensation of their bodies, the water, and the air thick with tension. Maya's eyes locked onto Eric's, a look of pure longing burning within them. And Eric knew in that moment, she was his, completely and utterly his.
