After talking for a while, they fell back asleep until morning. Stu had agreed to take her to Nassau to see a few things and shop, but he said he wasn't going to try his new dance steps in public. She just smiled and agreed. They caught a boat over to Grand Bahama Island. The concierge had given them some pamphlets on sites they could go to. The first he took her to was Parliament Square.

"Oh, my, um, is that Queen Victoria?" Shay asked, looking at this huge statue.

"It appears so love."

They walked over to the Queen's Staircase, then down to Fort Fincastle. They walked back to Christ's Church Cathedral and ended up on Bay Street. They decided to stop at a sidewalk restaurant. Shay plopped down in a chair. "Wow. I'm a little tired baby."

Stu sat down too, and nodded. "Me too." They ordered and sat there for a while, watching people walk by. Stu spotted a jewelry store, and announced there was another place he wanted to take her before they caught the boat back to South Andros.

"Okay honey. Whatever you want to do."

He grabbed her hand and they walked the short distance to the jewelers. When Shay saw where they were going, she stopped.

"Why are we going in here?"

"Because there is something I saw the other day when I was getting our wedding bands that I want to show you."

"Stu, promise you are not buying anything in here."

"I can't promise that love."

"You have done so much for me already, with the wedding, and the rings and all that, I don't need anything."

"Just hush and go in" he told her, gently nudging her in the door with his hand on her back.

The man at the counter recognized him. "Ah, Mr. Bennett, good to see you. This must be the lovely Mrs. Bennett. It is a pleasure to meet you mum" the man said kissing her hand.

Shay started to blush, "nice to meet you too."

"So, how can I help you today?"

"I want to get that charm bracelet that you showed me the other day for my wife."

"Stu, I don't…."

"Shhh, I want to get it. Please love."

Shay just sighed, he was smiling so big, she just couldn't tell him no. The jeweler took it out of the case and showed it to her. It was platinum with sea shell, starfish, seahorse and a dolphin charm. There was also a Bahamian coin on it. Shay's eyes lit up when she saw it.

"To remember our trip love. Do you like it?"

"Yes, but honey, you don't have to."

"I know, I want to. We'll take it" Stu said pulling out his wallet. He handed the man his credit card and took the bracelet and hooked it around her wrist. Shay hugged him and planted a kiss on his lips. "It's beautiful. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He thanked the man and they walked out. Shay noticed a tattoo parlor and drug Stu in there. "I don't need any more tattoos right now love."

"It's not for you baby. For me. And it's a surprise. You stay here."

She told the artist what she wanted and they went into the back, leaving Stu looking at pictures and wondering what his wife was up to. She wasn't gone long before she came back out with a wrap on her wrist. She was grinning cheekily and Stu's interest was really piqued now.

"Can I see it love?"

"Later, when we get back. He told me not to take this off for at least an hour. Are you ready to go?"

"I guess so" he said with a pout.

"Oh Stu, don't make that face at me. You know I can't take it" Shay replied with a laugh. "It is too pitiful."

"Alright love." He opened the door and they walked back towards the harbor. They took the short boat ride back to their little island. They were both tired so they just went to their villa.

Stu looked down at his watch "it has been an hour love. Can I see it now?"

"You are incorrigible but yes, okay." She unwrapped her left wrist, slowly revealing the fresh ink.

"Oh Shay. I can't believe it."

"Do you like it Stu?"

"Baby, I love it." Shay had gotten the Union Jack tattooed on her wrist. It was surrounded by a heart with the initials S.A.B. around the outside curve of the heart. He wrapped his arms around her, surprised that he was overcome with emotion. It was special to him on many levels. First, that she would tattoo his initials permanently on her body, but also the flag of his country. Showing the world that she didn't care he was English, she loved him. Shay smiled that he like it so much.

"I love you, and I want everyone to know. My family in particular. I'm yours Stu. Forever."

"I love you too. I just can't believe you did that. I really am speechless."

"It's okay, as long as you aren't upset I got it."

"Of course not. Why would I be? It is incredible."

Shay stood up and grabbed his arm. "I'm tired baby. Come to bed with me."

Stu followed her, falling into bed. He hugged her tightly, not taking long for her to fall asleep. He couldn't stop looking at the ink on her body. It stirred up feelings in him he never felt looking at the flag of his nation before. 'Her dad is really going to hate this.'

After their short nap, they woke up feeling rested. Shay suggested that they sit out on the beach since it was their last night on the island. Shay sat down on her knees behind Stu. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his shoulders, noticing their time in the sun had made him freckle more. "We have to go back to the real world tomorrow baby."

"I know. I don't want to leave. This has been the best holiday of my life. Hell, the best time of my life. All because of you. I don't know what would have happened if I had never met you Shay. I guess I would have been alone the rest of my life. You are the only one for me. So, thank you baby."

Shay felt his words clasp her heart. "Don't thank me Stu. I am lucky to have you too. I'm sorry I put you through so much too."

"Don't apologize love. It is all forgiven. You picked me. You married me. I have nothing to worry about or be jealous over. Drew had his chance, and he lost. Your heart is mine. Forever. Like you said."

"You are too good to me baby. I love you so very much."

Stu turned around and pressed her into the sand. He touched his lips to hers tasting the mint and sugar from her mojito. He softly caressed her sides, his large hands roaming her body. She unconsciously arched her back to get closer to him. He untied her bikini top and bottoms, sure that their last night would be unforgettable. "Stu, what if someone is watching?"

"It's dark, and if they are, let them. They might learn something." He said breathlessly as he slid down his trunks. Shay giggled, thinking to herself that they probably could. Stu shifted to lay behind her and brought both of her legs up. He settled behind her and gently entered her waiting pussy. He wrapped his arm under hers fondling her breasts and nestled his face against her neck. She moaned his name as he slowly slid in and out of her, his body so familiar with her every curve that it moved on its own. He made love to her leisurely, in no hurry to ever stop. The moonlight danced on the water, and the waves crashed at their feet. He relinquished everything to her, his entire being consumed by his love for her. He knew in that moment, there was nothing he wouldn't do, no place he wouldn't go to keep her satisfied and with him.

Shay was on cloud nine. He loved and adored her body, pleasuring her for hours. He was speaking softly to her, whispering in her ear. She couldn't deny that there wasn't anything she would ever need more than she needed him. He fulfilled her wishes and desires, and gave her his all. He was all the man she needed or ever would want. He finally gave in and climaxed, his body exhausted from their marathon lovemaking. They lay there under the stars, their bodies satiated. "I want to lay like this forever Stu."

"Me too. But we can't. We have a boat to be on early in the morning. We should really go pack and get some sleep."

"I know, I know. What will we do when we get back?"

"Well, we will start building the rest of our life together. I have to move the rest of my things into your house and get rid of mine. We have to get together with your family and break the news to them, and hope your father doesn't break my nose. And we have to see if Drew is okay. Oh, and we can Skype my parents and let them see you."

"Stu, seriously, what if they don't like me?"

"They know how happy you make me Shay. They will love you just for that."

"I hope so."

"Doesn't matter if they don't anyway. You are my wife, and like you said, our loyalty is to each other."

"You're right. But I want us all to get along. You have read Romeo and Juliet right?"

"I have. Don't worry, we aren't going to kill ourselves. We can just run away love." Stu said with a chuckle.

"That's why I love you, always looking on the bright side" Shay responded.

"That's me. Come on dear, let's go up and pack."

"Okay, race ya?"

"Hey, that's no fair. I'm still naked" Stu yelled after her.

"Life isn't fair baby. Come on you big lug."

They went into their bungalow and packed their things up. They decided they would finish up after their shower in the morning. Stu set their alarm and they climbed into bed. He snuggled up next to her and kissed her goodnight. He dreaded going back to the real world, but resolved that he wouldn't let anything separate them.
