A/N: Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
"I've got to admit that plane ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be considering we had four small kids.", I tell Christian as we head to our our house in Kihei. We bought the house during our Halloween visit, but this is going to be the first time we've stayed in it although Adam took Haley there for Valentine's Day.
"Other than the small tiff between the girls, I think the plane ride was a success.", Christian shrugs, turning back to the girls who are seated in back row of the rental van with me. "Things are good now, right?"
"Yeah.", Georgia answers. In the plane, Georgia got upset that she couldn't find her doll which in turn led her to accusing Raygan of having it. Luckily, Sawyer found Georgia's doll under one of the seats. Another positive, the boys miraculously didn't wake during the argument. They are however wide awake now from their seats in the middle row with Christian. Taylor navigates the van down a narrow street, getting closer to the house. In the seat beside him is Gail who joined us for the trip. Following our van is another van being driven by Sawyer who brought Zoe. Other guests on our trip are Grandpa and Grandmother. Since their trip to Tennessee got postponed a week, Christian and I invited them to join us on our trip. We also asked Carrick and Grace who couldn't due to Grace's hospitals shifts. Clarissa passed as well, and Elliot and Emily couldn't go because Emily's doctor doesn't want her flying. Mia and Mark said no due to Mark being busy with crops.
"We're here.", Taylor announces while turning into the driveway. The house is on the beach but away from other houses. He parks and turns the van off as Sawyer does the same. Christian and I get out and start getting the kids out of the seats.
"When you said you bought a house here, I had no idea it was going to be this grand.", Grandpa says in awe.
"It's beautiful.", Grandmother smiles, taking hold of the girls' hands. Christian is holding both Aidan and Teddy's carriers in his hands while I reach into my purse for the house key. I open the door and lead our group through the foyer. The only sound present is that from the crashing of the waves on the beach although it'll soon be replaced by the sounds of our family.
"We've got ten bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Georgia and Raygan's room is the first on the right, and the boys' is the one next to it. Ana and I are next to theirs, but everyone else, feel free to choose your own rooms.", Christian says.
"Any room is fine with us.", Gail replies.
"Let's go and have a look, shall we?", Taylor suggests to her, hooking her arm in his and leading her to the stairs.
"Christian, Ana, thank you for allowing me to come on this trip.", Zoe says as Sawyer holds their luggage. "This is my first time to Hawaii, and I'm looking forward to seeing the sights."
"You're welcome.", I say. "One thing I discoverd during our last trip here is this place is magical."
"Theo and I are going to go and find a room. Then we're going to rest for a while.", Grandmother says. "If that's ok."
"It's fine. It was a long plane ride, and I know you guys are exhausted. Ana and I are going to get the kids down for a nap and might take one ourselves.", Christian replies, but Raygan draws her lips into a pout. "What's wrong?"
"No nap.", she hisses. "I play."
"You go night night.", Georgia fires back at her sister.
"Here we go again.", Christian sighs while setting the boys' carriers down. "Girls, don't argue. You're both tired and are going to take a nap. That's the end of it."
"Tay Dada.", Raygan murmurs.
"Are you still choosing not to call it the "terrible twos"?, I smirk at Christian. He hangs one of his shirts in the closet and spins around to me. Although Georgia and Raygan are in what many call the "terrible twos", Christian refuses to use the term.
"I stand by my choice. The girls are simply growing and expressing themselves more."
"Right." His eyes are full of seduction while he stalks across the carpet. Stopping just inches from me, he runs his right index finger down my bare arm. "What are you doing?"
"I'm hoping to get you out of this dress." He reaches around and starts undoing the knot on my light purple sundress. It soon pools down to the floor, leaving me in only my strapless white bra and white panties. "I want to make love to you."
"Ok.", is all I can. He starts kissing down my chest, stopping at my bra which he unclasps. He tosses the garment to the floor and goes back to working his mouth on my body. He sucks on my right nipple. "Mmm." He stops and moves to my left breast with just as much teasing. My fingers find their way to his zipper, slowly easing it down to allow me access to his boxers where I naturally find his hardened erection. I begin stroking him while he continues tantalizing me.
"Ana.", he moans after moving his lips away. We're both panting with need coursing through our bodies. "I really wanted this to be slow and gentle, but you're not making it easy."
"I don't want slow. I want it fast and hard.", I say, gripping hold of his cock. He grins and rips my panties off. I try to mimic his actions with removing his clothes, but it's not as easier so he helpe me. The second we're both completely undressed, he pushes me on to the bed. He stands and the end of the bed and slowly makes his way up on to the mattress, hovering over my body. I buck my hips up to hint that I need him inside me. He leans down and takes possession of my mouth while sliding inside me. He moves slowly and withdraws himself, only to push back in deeper and harder.
"I love being inside you. You feel so good wrapped around me.", he whispers. I lift my legs and wrap them around his shoulders as our pace picks up. My body, already teetering on the edge, gives in to its release.
"Ohhhh.", I moan. Christian thrusts a few more times until his body tenses with his orgasm.
"Baby, I love you.", he pants.
"What an amazing view.", Gail says while we're having dinner on the patio at 808 Bistro. "We have sunsets back home but nothing as stunning as this."
"I agree.", I say before taking a bite of my lobster.
"I've been meaning to ask, but did all of you have nice naps this afternoon?", Christian asks.
"I slept great.", Sawyer answers.
"Me too.", Zoe smiles.
"Theo and I didn't sleep very long.", Grandmother shrugs.
"Is the bed not comfortable?", I ask. "If not, you can move to another room."
"The bed is perfect.", Grandpa replies. "We just weren't as tired as we thought we were. I attribute our naps on the plane as the reason."
"You better make sure you get plenty of rest tonight.", Taylor tells them. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Christian has a full day planned." Christian hands Raygan the rest of his roll and shakes his head.
"Everyone is free to do whatever they want.", Christian sighs. "There's a lot of things to do and see. The only thing I ask is for you to have a good time. Ana and I are going to get up early to take the kids to the beach." With us arriving late this afternoon and tired from the flight, we decided to hold off on going to the beach until tomorrow when we'll have more time.
"Play in the sand?", Georgia asks her dad.
"Yes. You can play in the sand. I overheard some of the people inside the resturant talking about a sand art contest going on tomorrow. The entrants build objects out of sand with the best one winning a grand prize."
"Might be a good thing to check out.", I say.
"I don't like to brag or anything, but I used to build some pretty nice sand castles.", Sawyer says as he takes the last bite of his food.
"Sounds like bragging to me.", Taylor chuckles. "I hate to burst your bubble, but my sand castle building skills are incredible. "I once even built an entire town of sand houses. Each little house had sand cars in the driveway."
"Wow. Do you think you have what it takes to beat me?"
"We can find out if we enter the contest."
"You guys do realize there's going to be other people in the contest, right?", Gail asks, getting scowls from both Taylor and Sawyer. "I'm simply pointing out that it's possible neither of you will win."
"Stop with the negativity.", Sawyer laughs. "If I can't win, I'd like for Taylor to win."
"Thanks Sawyer.", Taylor says, taking a sip of his wine. Sawyer sits with a sullen look. "What's wrong with you?"
"Aren't you going to say if you can't win you'd like for me to win?"
"Oh...uh...sure. I'd like for you to win if I somehow don't win."
"Theo, could you rub some more sunscreen on me?", Grandmother asks. She sits up on her towel and hands Grandpa the bottle of sunscreen. Grandpa eases down behind her and starts applying more of the sunscreen to her shoulders.
"You just wanted an excuse for me to touch you.", he smirks.
"Maybe. Ana, I know I've already told you, but you and the sweet peas are adorable in your matching swimsuits." Georgia, Raygan, and I are dressed in matching one piece black and white polka dot swimsuits.
"Thank you. When I saw them, I knew I had to buy them.", I reply while placing Teddy's khaki hat on his head. To my right, Christian's getting the plastic shovels and pails out for the girls. He hands each girl a shovel and smiles down at Aidan who's watching from his seat. Georgia and Raygan immediately start shoveling the sand. I place Teddy in his seat and watch as the sand Georgia's shoveled ends up next to Raygan and vice versa. Gail and Zoe return from the snack stand and shake their heads in amusement.
"They're so cute.", Zoe says. "Gail and I are going to go and watch Luke and Taylor build their masterpieces."
"We're going to walk down there in a little while.", Christian tells her.
"See you later.", Gail waves as she and Zoe walk away.
"Grandpa, Grandmother, are you having fun?", I ask. Only Grandmother turns to me and nods. She points to Grandpa who I see has fallen asleep.
"We're having a great time.", she whispers. Georgia and Raygan stop shoveling and stand.
"Why did you stop?", Christian asks them. Instead of answering him, they slowly walk over to Grandpa and begin placing sand on him. "Girls, don't." I step closer and see Grandpa open one eye although the girls have no idea. Christian and Grandmother also see and try to not laugh. It becomes nearly impossible when Grandpa starts making a fake snoring sound.
"He's loud.", Georgia says while continuing to cover Grandpa. Soon, his lower body is completely covered with sand. They're about to start covering his upper body when Grandpa jolts up and grabs the girls who are giggling.
"You no night night.", Raygan tells Grandpa.
"I was pretending.", Grandpa laughs as he looks down at the sand on him. "That's a lot of sand."
"That brings me to my question.", Christian says. "Do you guys want to go on to the sand art contest?"
"Uh-huh.", Georgia replies.
The sand art competition consists of fifteen participants who from what I see are all very talented. Sawyer and Taylor are set up in areas next to each other and are working steadily, barely noticing us observing them. Taylor wipes a bead of sweat from his forehead and takes a long drink of the bottled water Gail brought him. He then goes back to the horse he's creating.
"It's looking good.", Gail tell him. Taylor glances over at her and blushes.
"So is yours.", Zoe says to Sawyer who's working on a making a dog.
"Both you are doing great.", Christian says.
"I've got a few small details to make to the dog's ears, and I'll be done.", Sawyer announces.
"I'm almost done too.", Taylor adds.
"May I have your attention please?", a dark haired man asks through a microphone. "We're almost out of time so please try and complete your entries. The judging will begin in thirty minutes."
"It won't be long.", Grandpa smiles as he holds Teddy. Grandmother is holding Aidan while admiring all the sculptures.
"Mama, I want ice cream.", Raygan says. She points to an ice cream vendor a few feet away. "Peas."
"Ok. Let's go and get you some ice cream. Mr. Grey, would you like some ice cream?"
"I believe I do.", Christian smiles.
After getting our ice cream, we return to the competition which has officially run out of time. The team of three judges go around to each entry and start writing. Sawyer and Taylor are seated in chairs, anxiously waiting to see who wins.
"We've come to a decision and are ready to announce our winners.", the head judge tells the crowd. In third place, our winner is Stacy Collins with her sand castle. In second place, the winner is Tom Whitmore and his dinosaur. This is the fifth year we've held this contest, and never before have we had a tie...until this year. Both of these entries were so wonderful we couldn't decide which was the winner so we chose both. Congratulations to Jason Taylor who crafted an incredible sand horse, and to Luke Sawyer who made an equally incredible sand dog." Sawyer and Taylor are stunned as they go over to accept their prizes. "Since we didn't know we'd have two first place winners, we only have one trophy which one of you might have now, and we'll get another sent out to the other."
"Congrats.", Sawyer tells Taylor. "Your horse is awesome."
"So is your dog. Congrats buddy." They each take hold of part of the trophy as Gail and Zoe snap photos.
"I'm proud of you guys.", Christian says.
"Who's taking this trophy?", Grandpa asks.
"Taylor can have it. I'll wait on the other one.", Sawyer replies.
"No. You take it.", Taylor counters.
"I insist you take it.", Sawyer once again says.
"Me and sister take it.", Georgia giggles at the two guys.
