on too, striking out on her own. I don’t know what all she’s got planned, but knowing her, she’ll come out just fine.”

We reach the top and head over to the blue rose bush. I wrap my arms around Hannah, kissing her neck. She moans lightly, humming with happiness. “You know, I’m all sweaty. That walk wasn’t any easier this time around.”

I chuckle, wrapping my arms around her tighter and licking the salty tang off her skin. “I happen to know a nice little pool and cave where we can go cool off.”

“Mmmm . . . I was thinking the same thing,” Hannah says, taking my hand and placing it on her left breast. “I was thinking some other things, too.”

“Like what?”

“Like the bathroom in the airplane was too damn small to do what I wanted,” Hannah says, tilting her head and giving me a warm kiss. “Come on.”

We walk hand in hand to the pool, where the birds are quiet but the water’s crystal clear. “This place is gonna be special to us,” I say as we draw closer. “Hey, what’s that?”

“What’s what?”

“That,” I say, pointing. “Something in the shallows behind you.”

Hannah turns, seeing the glinting light. “I’m not sure . . .”

Hannah kneels and reaches into the water, and I try to hold onto my serious expression, waiting for her reaction.

“It’s a ring . . . and it looks like it’s got one hell of a diamond in it,” she says. “I wonder who it belongs to?”

“Let me see,” I say. She hands me the ring, and I grin, getting down on a knee. “It’s yours, if you’ll have me. Hannah Fowler . . . will you marry me?”

Hannah’s shocked, barely breathing as she looks at the ring, and a quiet voice comes from nowhere. “I would accept. According to some of the villagers, you’re already married.”

Hannah looks over, a startled gasp coming from her as Alani leads everyone to the other side of the pool. “What?”

“That place we went to the night of the festival,” I tell her, grinning. “According to Alani, it’s an old native temple. Basically, by doing what we did, we told the gods that we were one. So . . . how about making it legal in the eyes of modern law too?”

She’s shocked, and tears trickle from her eyes. “Oh, my God, yes. But . . . when? We’re going to be so busy with—”

“And I’m booked to sing at your wedding tomorrow,” Roxy says. “Sorta my comeback performance. I haven’t sung a wedding in . . . well, ever. Hope I don’t screw it up.”

Hannah blinks, then looks at me, grinning. “You mean the tickets, flying everyone out . . . you knew this all along!”

I don’t have an answer. I just grin. It’s a surprise to Cassie, though, who laughs. “How did you know she would say yes?”

“Because she knows I’d do anything in the world for her. Because she’s the light in my heart, the breath in my lungs, the blood in my beating heart,” I reply, standing up and taking Hannah’s hands. “Because I love her more than life itself, and the only thing that would make me happier is when we have children together.”

Hannah knits her brows, scowling. “Oh, so you want me barefoot and pregnant, do you?”

“Barefoot is how a lot of the locals go around,” I point out, and Hannah lets go of her mock anger, laughing.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

We kiss, to the wild applause of everyone, until Grandma Ivy Jo comments how her old bones are ready for a trip to the spa that she heard about. “And I heard something about cabana boys? Is that true, Caleb?”

Caleb groans, looking at Cassie. “I’m so gonna toss you in the ocean before we leave.”

“Hey guys, think we can meet you back at the house in about an hour?” I ask. “We’ve got a few things to talk about.”

They leave, and I look at Hannah, who’s grinning. “Well?”

“Well, what?” she asks before pushing me in the pool. “Race you to the cave! Whoever gets there first is in charge!”

Hannah scampers over the rocks, laughing as I’m forced to swim. Even with her speed advantage, Hannah has to pick her path carefully, and I plunge through the water with abandon, loving the feeling of the competitiveness we had together before. I gave her the obstacle course. I sure as hell am not making that a habit. I pull hard through the water, feeling the waterfall pound onto my back as I emerge . . . and find Hannah just sitting down on the blanket.

“Guess who gets to be in charge?” she teases me, leaning back and letting her body stretch out in the dim magical lights from the crystals.

I open my mouth to protest but realize I don’t have to anymore. I move across the pool and hoist myself out, grinning. “You’re lucky I don’t have a water balloon handy.”

“Lie down on the blanket,” Hannah says, “and get those shorts off. Now . . . where did I put that butt plug Cassie gave me?”

I laugh lightly, pushing my shorts down and lying back. As Hannah takes off her bra, straddling my head and lowering her pussy toward my eager lips, I feel a surge through my body that has my cock standing at full attention. “Now, if you’re good . . .”

I don’t need any more encouragement, and I reach up, tracing Hannah’s lips with my tongue before sliding it deep inside her, tasting her and making her gasp. I feel her wrap her hand around my cock and pump lightly, moaning as I suck and tease her, dragging my tongue deep inside her before sucking on her clit. Hannah grinds her pussy over my mouth, stroking my cock and moaning. I can’t see anything except the glistening pink of her pussy, and I don’t care. I devote everything I have to her as I let her control everything.

With a gasp, Hannah pulls
