~JESSICA~“What do you think about us going on a vacation??” Daniel suddenly asked while we're having dinner together.It's the third day after the rain and Daniel has been kind to me, even though he's still holding back.He surprised me by coming home early today just to have dinner with me.Now, he's giving me another surprise by asking me on what I think about us going on a vacation.“You want us to go on a vacation??” I asked.“You didn't answer my question” he replied. “What do you think about going on a vacation with me?? It's just for a week.”“Sounds cool” I replied.Really cool. At least, I'd get to clear my head.I laughed inwardly at that thought. Clearing my head wouldn't be possible since the person making me stress mentally and emotionally is also going on the vacation with me.But still, I needed a change of environment.I needed something new. Something fresh. Maybe we could start all over again.“It seems you're interested in it. That's fine then

~JESSICA~The honeymoon bure was awesome.I stood in the open doorway and looked around in amazement. All of the resort's bures or native bungalows looked beautiful as we passed them. But this one, inside and out, was spectacular.It was a bure and not quite a bure. A thatched island cottage, yes, but it was built in a tree—like a treehouse.The room seemed carved out on the tree, not perched in it.“Not traditional” Mr. Isogawa had apologized. “But we think, nice.”Nice didn't cover it.The bure was nestled a dozen steps up in the spread of a vast tree that I couldn't identify. From the frond covered front porch with its gently swinging hammock to the interior native hardwood floors and the vast king size bed.There's a private open air waterfall shower and spa hidden from the beach by carefully placed Bamboo screens. It was elegant and spacious.With views of a sand and sea paradise out of every door and window, it was beyond anything that I had ever imagine

~DANIEL~I was dreaming.They were vibrant vivid dreams in which I was undressing Jessica, then kissing my way up her arms and across her shoulders, along her jawline, all over her cheeks, the tip of her nose and finally, her luscious beautiful mouth.And all the while I was kissing her, I was running my hands over her and dispensing with her clothes, her proper tailored blouses, eager to get to the peach-colored scraps of silk he knew were underneath.Then, just when I reached the silk and began to unhook her bra, I heard the faint click of the hook.Click? Of the hook??I jerked.My eye opened as Jessica clicked open the sliding glass door to the enclosed shower room. Then the door clicked shut again. And through it, I beheld a reality more vibrant and vivid than all his dreams and fantasies of Jessica in peach colored underwear.As I watched in dazed but dazzled fascination, the real life Jessica hung her towel and robe on a hook by the waterfall, then with

~JESSICA~Daniel bent his head and kissed me full on the lips!It wasn't a passionate kiss, one that should have been saved for privacy of a honeymoon bure, but it lingered long enough to be possessive, and it promised a host of things that left me startled and shaken when at last Daniel stepped away.He smiled at me.I shot him a furious glare, then looked up to see Leonie Carstairs watching.The meaning of the kiss was suddenly perfectly clear. It was a “keep your distance” kiss meant for Leonie. He had intended it to mean nothing to me. Nothing at all.“Come,” Mr. Isogawa said. “It is time for dinner.”He took his wife's arm and led her toward the dining room.Daniel, still smiling, held out his arm to me.And after a steadying breath, I slipped my arm through his and, ignoring my heartache, walked by his side to the dinner table.****“Well, that went well,” Daniel said briskly as he opened the door to our bure after an excellent dinner and an evening of

~JESSICA~“I want to push you over the edge, here and right now” I told Daniel.“Tease” his lips moved from my lips over my cheeks.They touched, they pressed, they stroked, they nibbled. They teased and made me burn too. There was a fine tremor in his fingers as they skimmed up my legs and caught hold of the night gown, then tugged it up and over my head and tossed it away.“Daniel!” I exclaimed.He raised his head.“What? You wanted to wear it?” He asked.“Yes. No. I don't care. Daniel. I….”He kissed me, interrupting me.“Shh. Lie back and think of things I'm going to do to you” he said.“No,” I replied. I was absolutely not going to do that. I was going to participate. Completely.“I get to….to do things, too.”“Oh, really??” His mouth was so close I felt his breath on my cheek.“Yes, really” I replied.“I thought I was the boss” he teased.“Former boss, and only in the office. We're not in the office now” I teased back.“Now, wait a minute” he instructed
