The Honeymoon--Part 2

From the moment we stepped into our plantation-style villa in the luxury resort Braden had booked for our honeyo home

A few minutes’ walk from the main resort, up a landscaped, lae pool and a cabana overlooked the ocean Inside was a huge airy, beautiful living rooeous bedroom with a four-poster bed draped in white voile and a walk-in-closet The final touch of beauty was the er than Olivia’s entire flat

Braden and I had been there for three days We’d spent our days lazing by our private pool, enjoying spectacular views that filled you with the kind of contentht we’d choose fro restaurants, head off to one of the bars to have a few drinks, and then we’d head back to the villa where we e of scenery, we’d left the villa on the third day and grabbed a couple of sun loungers under a cabana on the beach Every now and then a courteous member of staff would approach us and ask us if anted anything to eat or drink while we both lay there, reading on our e-readers and soaking up the sun

Just an hour before Braden had finally ed to coaxthe water, but it was so beautiful its tranquility and Braden’s persistence finally got to me and I decided to wade in

Lulled by Braden’s patience, I was couard when he dunked et aith it

Thus co out of the way to avoid us while their parents shot us dirty looks Braden was cracking up He would be He inning It was only after he lifted me and cannonballed me into the water so hard that I almost lost my bikini top in front of the entire resort that he decided the gahed as he swas of the bikini aroundhim a mock-dirty look

He’d kissed my neck and wrapped his arms around my waist under the water "Always"

There really was no way to be crabby at an answer like that, so I’d let hiers where ere currently drying out Braden was lying on his stoer, but he see hi about the ently to shore, the cries of happy kids, the soft chatter of couples, the smell of suntan lotion and seawater, the tiny flutter of my husband’s lashes as he dreamed beside me

I should be terrified

It was a lot to lose

That fear niggled at me and I deter at ainst the sun

"I’ve never seen you relax for this long It’s nice"

"It’s actually nice to be relaxing"

Raising an eyebrow, I teased, "You’re tellingbusy?"

His eyes opened slowly, blinking in the sunlight He shifted up onto his elbows "I have uninterrupted access toa thing"

A delicious shiver rippled throughhis "Theainst his "I think soet into runted as he cupped his hand around the nape of ot the gist of it, though So unhindered access to as beneath ently in retaliation, which only roan into my mouth and deepen the kiss

Like always the world disappeared and I found er, clinging to Braden’s biceps as he drugged me with kisses that still knocked me off-kilter

The sound of a sharp, playful child’s scream broke us apart, and I smiled ruefully as Braden brushed lanced over in the direction of the screa what appeared to be his little sister, his delighted laughter and hercouple that lazed near the spot of their antics

Braden looked back at me "We can return to the villa, lie by the pool, if the kids are bothering you"

Frowning, I shook my head I didn’t mind the kids Their excitement and joy only added to the overall atht now and I honestly don’t mind the kids"
