And right behind me, you'll find the beautiful botanical gardens.

As you can see, the gardens spread out over quite a large area, home to Brazil's incredible

flora and fauna.

Right this way now.

Jordan couldn't take his eyes off of Maria.

He couldn't believe someone so sexy was a tour guide.

She had wavy dark hair that fell down to her back and a body made of

soft, lush curves. Hey, he said percoly, moving to the front of the crowd of tourists. You're

quite a great tour guide. Maria looked at him with surprise. Oh, thanks. I've been doing it

long enough. It's a little boring at this point, honestly. They started walking side by side,

heading in the direction of the gardens. It was a hot day, with bright sun and humidity that thickened the air.

"'I wish there was something I could do to make it less boring for you,' Jordan said pointedly.

Maria eyed him up and down. You're more attractive than most Americans who come through here, you know.

Jordan raised his eyebrows.

Really?

Maria loved a muscular guy with dark hair, and Jordan fit the bill.

She looked over her shoulder, making sure the group was still following them.

Listen, what if we split up for a bit?

Jordan liked the sound of that.

That was how he found himself getting dragged into a storage closet by Maria.

The tiny space was filled with hoses, watering cans, and empty plastic pots.

Do you take all the tourists here?
