I stare up at my handsome husband and it’s hard to believe this is my life. It all changed in such a short time, and though I know danger might still be out there, I believe Kade when he says we’re safe on the island. I also haven't missed the guards that roam the island either and I know every inch of this place has a camera on it. Well, almost; they’re not inside the homes or around our private little waterfall.
“Maybe I don’t want you to control yourself.” I wiggle under him. It’s about all I can do with my arms pinned above my head. I lock my legs around him and he groans as he kisses me deeply. I taste myself on his lips and moan in response into his mouth.
“It’s hard for me to tell you no,” he admits, and I can see the inner battle inside him. I lick my lips and he grits his teeth.
“Fine,” I give in. “We can wait.” He lets out a small sigh of relief as his cock jerks, clearly on my side and not wanting to wait.
“We should get back. You’ve had enough sun for one day and we’re out of food.”
“I don’t know how you've kept my sister away this long,” I say with a small laugh. Kade helps me up. He doesn't bother putting my bathing suit back on me but helps me into my dress.
“She’s with Vaughn so she’s probably driving him crazy. She seems to be good at that because I’ve never seen anyone be able to get a rise out of him.” I laugh because I’m sure she is.
“Wait. Where is she staying?” Oh God. I didn't even think about where she was last night and I feel like a shitty sister right now. I know Berkley can take care of herself, but I should have thought of her. “Is she at our house or with Vaughn?” I cringe thinking about how loud we were last night.
“She stayed at Vaughn’s,” he reassures me. At least she’s with the funny one and not grumpy X. I can’t wait to see a woman get the best of him. That will be amazing.
“I’m sure she’s carrying on with yelling at him,” I joke, because she keeps calling Vaughn a kidnapper and a brute. I find it funny but I’m not so sure my sister has the same sentiment.
Kade smirks but it doesn't reach his eyes.
“What?” I ask as he packs up our stuff. I know he doesn't want to answer me.
“She told Vaughn she can only stay a week, if that. She has to get back to take her finals.”
I close my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? Of course she has to leave. This is her last semester and she’s been studying like crazy. It’s why I didn’t call her when I met Kade. I was leaving her alone so she could concentrate on the last bit of college. Then after she was finished with finals she’d get to come home. That was the plan but maybe she fell in love with London and has no plans to return. I never asked because I was always scared of what her response might be. But right now it isn't safe for her to go anywhere.
“She could get hurt.” I squeeze Kade’s hand as I look up at him. I can’t lose my sister.
“I’ll work it out.” He leans down and kisses me softly, and after just a heartbeat I melt into him. “Trust me,” he says quietly against my lips.
I nod. He guides me back to the cart and we make our way to the main house. We barely pull to a stop and already my sister is flying out the front door toward me.
“They keep kidnapping you from me,” she says with a smile before she hugs me. “You look so happy. I swear you're glowing,” she whispers in my ear. I do feel like I’m glowing. I’ve never felt so cherished and in love before.
“Is kidnapping your new favorite word?” I whisper, and she pulls back to look at me. She’s got a smug look on her face.
“I enjoy poking him.”
“So I was thinking…” I try and change the subject. “I want to have another wedding. One you can be a part of and with a little bit of a better ending.”
“That sounds wonderful.” She steps back from me and her arms drop from our hug. “Can we do it when I get back?”
“You’re not going anywhere,” Vaughn says from behind her. I didn't even see him pop up but he’s standing on the porch of the main house, his arms folded over his chest. Right now he looks like X with how hard his face is.
“When do you need to leave?” I ask, because I can’t make her stay. I also can’t have her lose everything she’s worked so hard for.
