There were still some times when Jai wondered if his life was now some fairy tale.

Would he ever awaken from it and find himself still in exile, that little hell he'd been driven into by his enemies with hardly any friends left in the realms? Everything seemed almost too perfect. How could pure happiness and bliss as his life now be his when life held suffering? Such philosophical musings only touched Jai within the late nights or those rare moments when a life with five children granted him some time to think. He was happy beyond words, which was perhaps why he grew paranoid and afraid of it all being false. He was fearful of waking up and realizing it was a dream.

Strange then that he never questioned the validity of his actual dreams until it was too late.

They had started months ago. Not every night but frequent enough that when he would lie down for bed with Jade in his arms, Jai wondered if this night would be quiet or not. When sleep finally overtook him, it would either be a peaceful rest or something worse.

Dreamstate:

The first one had been brief but a shock all the same. Jai had been wandering in a dark forest or desert; he had no idea. Suddenly, he heard a voice sweetly calling his name from behind. As enticing as the owner could make it as her tone unsuited for such music.

"Jai, my dear. It's me."

That familiar voice filled him with dread, but his dream self never once hesitated to turn around and confirm with his eyes what he heard with his ears.

There stood Tanya as if she had materialized out of thin air.

Her gait was seductive and smooth, elegant as a striding leopard as she slowly approached him. Those unsettling pale white eyes never blinked. Yet they danced with many expressions underneath her exterior, more so than regular eyes. The yellow silk of her two-piece bodysuit and skirt shimmered like burnished gold in the pale light, her ebony hair blending in perfectly with the night.

Tanya reached out to touch him, but Jai stepped away in suspicion with a deep frown. "What do you want?"

Asking that question felt familiar, although they had just started talking.

A vile smirk crept across Tanya's mouth. "Why, Jai. Don't be like that," she crooned, sidling up closer to him. "It's been so long since we last talked. We have a lot of..." Her lips hovered around his ear. "...catching up to do."

Jai's eyes flew open with a start, though it confused him how they even closed in the first place until he remembered that it was a dream. Thankfully, he didn't seem alarmed enough upon awakening to startle Jade, for which Jai was grateful. Instead, he lay awake, staring at the ceiling with a racing heartbeat before finally fell back asleep.

This cycle continued as each dream appeared only every few days until it began happening with increased frequency. And, to Jai's sheer horror, they seemed to be more prolonged and intense.

Tanya was executed for her crimes years ago! Why would these dream phantoms of her torment him now?

It made no sense and became unnerving in every regard. Jai sometimes wondered if Jade could tell that something was amiss, occasionally seeing her stare at him. No doubt when she thought he wasn't paying attention, though likely doing it more often while avoiding his watchful gaze. This knowledge made Jai want to put Tanya as far out of his mind as possible to focus on his family. His wife, the rock and love of his life. And all their children, who meant more than anything in the realms.

However, despite all his efforts working for a certain period, Tanya still lurked in Jai's subconscious with a vengeance. He was able to forget about her during the day, but it was when his mind was at its weakest did she ever invade: in his dreams. It led him to believe Tanya had cursed him from beyond the grave with dark magic. Except she'd been long dead that such a feat was impossible.

And yet, his mind clung to her memory.

"What's wrong, Jai?" Tanya's honey voice sounded.

She leaped down the slope, agile as a cat, before landing on her feet next to him. Her slender figure swayed like water, the spiced scent of her skin lingering in the air. Something that was instinctively pleasant to his senses.

Jai ignored her or tried to. He had never favored her nor liked the fact that she seemed to insistently follow him around. Hard accurately described how it was for him to avoid her. She currently was the only Edenian who didn't treat him like dirt. Such friendliness was a balm on his starved soul despite differences in philosophy and how they saw the world.

Tanya remained persistent in her approach, sitting next to Jai by the small waterfall he'd been attempting to meditate under. Her distraction proved meddlesome when she kept leaning closer.

"I never believed the accusations, you know," she murmured as if confiding some deep secret into his ear.

Her words prompted Jai to open one eye, curiosity aroused despite himself. That was all Tanya needed to keep going, her claws sinking in for the kill.

"Oh, yes. Everyone else looked at the noble Jai and didn't even question it. They all said: 'How can noble Jai have been capable of such an act?' But I say: 'Of course Jai could not have done it. His heart is too pure.'" She shook her head, her hair brushing along her shoulders. "But I guess it goes to show how reliable and true most Edenians really are."

Jai bit his lip in disdain. He knew Tanya being dismissive of their fellow people was terrible and unbecoming. However, a bitterness grew in his heart, and she was watering it with each word.

"I always thought you were so strong, brave, and handsome..." Tanya purred, her hands coming to stroke his shoulders, the touch soft, alluring, and warm. "Perhaps that's why I could never believe it."

"What do you want from me, Tanya...?" Jai began, not entirely sure what he was about to say. The conversation wore on him in a way that he wished not to continue.

Tanya held a finger against his lips. "Shh..."

Without warning, she whipped out a bottle and held it under his nose. Jai couldn't see what it was, but the scent was sharp and intense that burned like pepper, cloying to where he could taste it on his tongue.

"Ack!" Jai gasped before feeling a disorienting loss of control over his body.

He couldn't form a fist to strike his attacker, and a moment later, his helpless body flopped down paralyzed while everything spun frantically. Jai felt like he was rolling down a hill yet went nowhere. Despite that, he could still feel Tanya climbing atop to straddle him. Her hands palmed his chest through the thin tunic before sliding underneath the fabric to stroke his bare skin.

"W-What-" Jai struggled to speak, his lips barely able to move.

Tanya's sadistic grin grew to Cheshire levels as she toyed with his trousers' drawstrings. "And now, I shall take what I so desire."

She rolled her hips in a winding grind against his concealed groin for emphasis. It was so hot, and only the potion's effects stopped Jai from shivering - much to his horror.

"Such a good, strong man. Once Jade finds out what I've done, she'll be so heartbroken to know that you'll be my plaything for eternity."

Jai could barely move or scream but still felt everything - each touch and movement Tanya exhibited, especially when she slowly stripped him of all clothing. She did the same in a sensual striptease, her clothes landing in a pile with his. If one took a closer look, Tanya's bare body matched Jade's in every conceivable way. Jai couldn't deny her natural and appealing beauty, though her personality loomed as a stark contrast.

Tanya cruelly spread her legs and eventually guided him inside—

Jai awoke with a startled gasp as he sat straight up, heart hammering while covered in a cold sweat. He hadn't thought about that night since Tanya's capture. It had haunted his mind and had him flinching at every flash of yellow. Tanya had robbed him of his dignity, honor, and—

"Jai?"

Jade's voice broke through his panic haze like water through the fire before sitting up beside him. Jai cursed his luck internally. Of course, this was the night she would wake up, though his rational side explained that she would stir by him waking so abruptly in their bed.

"What is it, Jai?" Jade held his face. "Talk to me, please."

Her husband didn't answer at first and couldn't; words clumped together and stuck in his throat. Jai tried desperately to fend off the phantom memories that tormented him, barely aware that Jade was stroking his back in reassurance. She then reached out to give a shoulder massage, which startled him out of a shocked trance.

"I—Jade—" he croaked, noticing how dry his throat was and how much energy talking required.

Jade always noticed what he needed and turned to the water pitcher on her nightstand before pouring a glass and handing it to him. "Here."

He would've preferred liquor but refused to say it. Instead, Jai merely threw back his head and drank his beverage in a few gulps. A sigh left afterward as he finished. It wasn't much, but that small amount helped him feel like his head was screwed on tighter than it had when he woke up.

"I'm sorry..." Were Jai's first words after a pensive silence. "I didn't mean to wake you."

Jade scooted closer to wrap her arms around him. "Why? This is hardly something to apologize for."

Her touch and gentle nature were so different from Tanya's, which Jai was eternally grateful for.

"You were clearly having a nightmare and can't be at fault for that." Her delicate hands massaged his shoulders again, Jai realizing how tense he was. "What was it about? Please tell me."

Jai frowned and wished not to tell her at all. However, he knew his wife could sense something was amiss and would never drop the issue until the truth came out. It was that stubbornness he loved so much from her, but it was always better to watch her use it on others rather than him. Another audible sigh left Jai as Jade loosened the tension in his shoulders. He felt himself uncoil from the knot restraining every muscle and tendon.

He told her what he had been dreaming of - though could it be called a true dream if it was a memory? Even though the words were dragged out despite the reluctance coloring his tone, Jai did not stutter or stumble while carefully choosing his words. Despite this, he could feel Jade's hands stopping halfway through his story, frozen as she realized what he was telling her. He refused to go into detail, for they were unnecessary and would hurt Jade beyond comprehension. However, his explanation behind what he endured during exile was enough for her to understand what actually happened. After he finished, Jade went silent. Time ticked by, and Jai felt himself growing tense again.

"Jai... I'm so sorry... for what she did to you," Jade finally spoke up, her voice soft and horrified, but holding conviction through it all as her head shook in dismay. "It's downright unforgivable. But that harlot from hell cannot ruin yours or anyone else's life anymore. She's no more than a dream, a mere memory."

"I know," Jai whispered, grateful all the same for her confident words. "I know she's gone for good. It's just... hard to entirely forget Tanya after everything she did."

Again Jade was silent before massaging his shoulders again, though this time, Jai knew that it was more of an absent-minded action with real purpose.

"I have an idea," she said, waiting for him to glance at her before continuing. "Our anniversary is coming up soon. Why don't you and I spend it together alone? Just the two of us."

He blinked in surprise, intrigued by the suggestion. Like what had happened during his exile? Except he'll be in Edenia and with Jade this time? Such an offer was incredibly tempting, though it had a few flaws.

"Interesting, but where would we go? And who would watch the kids? You know Jamiyah and Jamaar are nowhere near old enough to watch the kids their own," Jai pointed out.

Jade giggled, her soft lips kissing him on the neck most pleasantly. "The answer to both lies with the same people. Jerrod, Sindel, and Kitana of course. They can watch our children for us, and I'm sure they would be more than happy to. And I will ask the King and Queen for permission to borrow their private getaway island for the occasion. I highly doubt they'll say no if I tell them why I want it." She turned his face to eye him. "Think about it. Us in paradise for two weeks to forget your troubles. And to have some... naughty fun."

That perked Jai up for a moment, and Jade was right. In fact, he wondered if this had already been an idea she'd been sitting on, only just now deciding to tell him. The royal couple did indeed have a private island they retreated to whenever they wanted to escape the court life for a few days. Jai could not imagine the royals turning their offer down and could be persuaded, though he figured that might be better left to Jade. As he found during their marriage, she was a devious sweet-talker, and Kitana loved her like a sister. The Princess could easily throw a good word in for them as a surrogate aunt.

"You know..." Jai said teasingly, turning around to smirk at her. "I think I'd like that."

Jade smiled before giving him a tender kiss. "Good. Now then..." She swung around to straddle his waist. "Why don't I give you a preview of what to expect?"

No other words were said as the couple indulged in the other's body.

Jerrod & Sindel's Private Island:

A few days later, Jai stepped off the boat they had used to row out to the island and immediately thought he had arrived at a paradise. Everything about their surroundings was perfect, picturesque even. The sea waters were a brilliant blue shade of glass-clear turquoise, and the beach sands were white, almost as fine as powder. The trees around them were in full flower, fruits bursting from each branch while a paved white stone walkway wound its way up to a magnificent two-story building... House? Mansion? It looked almost too big to be a house - decorated in classic Edenian décor.

"This is amazing," Jai murmured.

He turned to look at Jade carrying her bags while beaming at him brilliantly, eyes sparkling with happiness.

She winked. "I told you so. Let's put all of this stuff down inside."

Her husband led the way to where they could see the whole beach down below. It was incredible, and Jai already had plans for what to do when they sat the bags down. "Come here, beloved."

The trip was just what Jai needed, he realized. What they needed. It felt as if time had lost all meaning while detached from the world with no one else around. Days simply melted by to allow them this respite.

They walked around the beach island's perimeter a week into their trip. The sands had cooled considerably, though still pleasantly warm under their feet. Jai wore a set of black swim trunks stopping at the middle of his thighs, his muscled legs free to anyone who wished to look at them. Jade herself was in a revealing two-piece, the top a lovely dark green that matched her eyes. And the bottom was a set of black panties that hardly could be called anything other than a glorified thong.

Jai genuinely appreciated her radiant and sinful appearance, beautiful and alluring as a flower in full bloom, but not in a Tanya way.

Their bodies swayed in subconscious harmony, silent except for a few murmured words here and there as they wandered the seashore and watched the waves devour their footprints. Nightfall had arrived, and Jai felt nothing but peace and calm. Jade always had that effect on him, able to soothe and reassure with her mere presence. That's what made her such a good wife, mother, and bodyguard to the Princess. Jai could not think of anyone in any realm he'd been to that garnered the same effect.

On the other hand, Jade gazed at her husband with a growing gleam of naughtiness. She was enjoying their trip immensely as well. However, the details of what transpired between Jai and Tanya continued to lurk in the back of her mind when Jade least expected it. Such thoughts were hard to eradicate when she was sure what happened to Jai that harrowing day. This meant she had to rid her husband's fragile mind of that hellish harlot, once and for all.

What better way to replace haunting memories with more pleasant ones?

At first, Jade contemplated how to do it and where. Jai had seemed at ease beyond words the past few days, and she knew he was uncoiling from that tense state when they first arrived. Jade knew any time from now would be appropriate, but where was the better question. The house was an obvious choice, but it was such a far walk.

With that thought in mind, Jade's lips curled into a smile, the type that only those closest to her were able to know what a fraud it really was, her inner thoughts a mixture of wicked and sweet. "Oh, Jai. I have an idea."

Jai craned his neck automatically to look at her, smiling in the moonlight. "Yes?"

His voice sounded lighter, and Jade could've danced right then and there. She grinned, pleased beyond words her husband was indulging her without question, unlike most people. That unique quality made him so special, and why they fit each other so well with no words needed between them.

But now, they were necessary with no other way to explain her plan otherwise. So Jade slid next to Jai, resting her hand in his elbow's crook, which he mutely offered for walking the beach instead of the many palaces.

"I was thinking of how we were to make love tonight," Jade started.

She had become more open concerning her desires than in previous years, a stark contrast from when they first announced their relationship, a rocky experience. Not everyone expected Jai to remain in Edenia, nor forgive Jade for her actions against him.

How times have changed.

"Hmmm..." Jai stroked his chin hair in mock contemplation. "You had something special planned?

There was no fooling him since he knew her too well. They walked for another minute in silence, though Jade was confident the wheels were turning in his brain. She wanted Jai to think, imagine, and anticipate before revealing more of her idea. This tactic would make him forget about Tanya and the past that had plagued him. It loosened something inside of Jai, and soon he had forgotten time itself. Jade could be alone with her husband and want for nothing in the world. At least, not like anyone who was disillusioned, which she thanked the Gods that wasn't the case.

"I did not," Jade admitted with a slight smirk, meeting his eyes while staring up at him - a sudden pull of the rug out from under his feet. "But, I was thinking about something else entirely."

Intrigued with where she was going with this, Jai decided to play along as they stopped walking. "Ohhh, you sneaky vixen. What's brewing in your mind?"

That smirk turned into a full grin as Jade threw her arms around his shoulders, letting her warmth envelop him while Jai's arms linked around her waist. It was protective and tender as they stood like statues. Yet, there was no less appreciation of her tenderness around him, the perfect balance to his strength.

Jade leaned on her toes to whisper in his air. "Make love to me... Here and now."

Warning: Lemon Alert, read at your own risk

She covered that ear with kisses while stroking his shoulders and back, letting her soft hands do the talking as they massaged each muscle under his skin. Jade was no great masseur but had an advantage that used her love and her desire. Love and lust for him as a wife should, and have a husband to reciprocate.

Though taken aback by her sudden proposal, Jai wasn't displeased to hear it. He and Jade had slept together numerous times after arriving here. They were brief, exciting flings, an appetizing prelude before the main event. Now, he could see it form before him brought on by his woman in her sauciness for no one but him to see.

"What did you have in mind?" Jai teased, feeling her sway in his arms.

Jade said nothing and simply took his hand, guiding it down her collarbone to one of her breasts.

Surprised momentarily, Jai went all too willingly along with her advances and eagerly squeezed her flesh. The mound was so large, he couldn't enclose it all in his grip. Jade loved it regardless, a moan surfacing as she continued kissing him. He found her hardened nipple through the swimsuit and rubbed her teat between his fingers.

For her part, Jade couldn't sit still.

She moaned with eagerness and hiked up a leg to wrap around his own, hands tracing along his exposed torso that she'll soon feast upon. Wet kisses were planted all over his skin; Jade listening to Jai gasp in pleasure and grinned absently to prolong her momentary advantage.

It wasn't long before Jai began caressing her back with fervor, her skin soft and smooth under his touch. The feel made him crave her more with each new moan and sound emitting from her throat. His breath hitched when she hooked her fingers into the hem of his swim trunks (and the drawstring) and snapped them against his skin.

"My General," Jade drawled.

Jai couldn't hold himself back any further after that deliberate ploy. He suddenly pounced by grabbing her ass, hoisting her up before guiding their bodies toward the sand. He was grateful there was no one else around but them to interrupt for many miles. Looming over Jade allowed Jai to kiss her with passion, teasingly pulling the straps of her bikini top loose. She writhed before her chest was free, shivers following afterward.

"Jai," Jade whispered, peppering his neck with kisses again as his hands fondled each breast.

"Mmm, you look good like this." Jai flashed a devious grin before another deep kiss, their tongues tangling as his voice thrummed with lust. "And I demand a taste of honey."

Biting her lip, Jade just groaned and spread herself in arousal. "Strip me..."

Beforehand, there were invisible barriers they tried not to cross, inhibitions to what they did. But everything was now fair game, their trust in each other so complete to grant these lewd fantasies without much thought.

Jai untied Jade's top enough to let her breasts plop down, their weight slackening the cords that held the swimsuit together. Meanwhile, her hands slid his swim trunks down, letting his manhood spring free that begged for her attention. Both were unwrapping presents in the form of clothing, the prize admiring and savoring the other's fit, appeasing bodies. She gave his organ a slight tug before caressing it. Jade rose up to kiss him and broke away, positioning herself on her hands and knees in the way he loved. Her glistening womanhood and puckered backdoor made Jai drool.

He soon arranged himself underneath her, his cock pointing at Jade's lips while staring at her wet vagina. Jai brought her hips down and feasted on her sweet spot, licking and sucking her folds with enthusiasm. Loud, muffled groans left him as he felt Jade's hot mouth on his cock, bucking upward to show his pleasure. Jade sucked and pumped with vigor as her free hand stimulated her snatch, which Jai could see well from his position. He became entranced as her middle and index fingers disappeared into her depths while his tongue and lips worked on the heated flesh. She swallowed his boner, moans growing loud and clear in a wild passion.

But it was not enough. Jade and Jai wanted everything.

The touches were pleasant, but there were ways to increase their effectiveness. Hence, there were hardly any words needed as Jai grabbed Jade by her hips and moved them into a familiar position with him on top. He spread his wife's legs wide and slid inside her cavern. Jade eagerly bucked her hips to meet his thrusts, moaning and clawing his back as they settled into a comfortable rhythm.

He pounded her with the stars and sea being the only witnesses, the sound of skin colliding audible above the waves. Jade twisted and squirmed, moaning loudly each time Jai slid himself out only to plunge back in. He wasn't ready for this to end prematurely despite feeling her walls grip him tight, and neither was she.

Jai halted his thrusting, one of the most challenging things he's ever done. "Wait... Lay on your side."

Thankfully, Jade understood his mess of words and nodded, lust clouding her gaze as they disengaged and turned upon her side, her ass presented in full view. Jai stopped to admire her toned backside, the mass of flesh jiggling with her every move. He reached out and brushed the sand off of it, Jade giggling seductively before she felt him guide his erection inside her again.

Her walls sheathed him like velvet, and Jai groaned upon contact before pulling Jade closer. She was all too happy to oblige, moaning as her nails reached back and dug into his hips. He rolled them under her grip and panted into her sweet-smelling hair as he rammed himself in again and again before lifting one of her legs at the knee for a better angle. That forced a loud cry of ecstasy and pleasure from Jade, screaming from the assault. Jai watched in fascination how her breasts bounced and couldn't help but reach over to squeeze one, which sent his lover into another shuddering fit of pleasure.

"Yes, baby," Jai murmured hotly into her ear, his voice strained from ramming her so hard. "You like that?"

"Y-Yes, Jai!" Jade cried out.

Sweet moans continued to spew out, her hips dancing with Jai as if to catch him, but he evaded her still. He loved teasing and wanted to break her, but she wasn't having it. Hastily, Jade rolled off of him and shoved her husband down, her grip surprisingly strong as he watched her climb on top. She barely paused to position herself over his cock before sinking down.

"Ah!" Jade gasped, taking his length all the way to the hilt.

The insane shared body heat had intensified, and Jai's first instinct was to buck his hips upward. That was hard to accomplish with Jade pinning his chest down with both palms. Yet, this was not frightening but a natural act filled with passion and love. Most importantly, he lusted for her so badly...

This time, Jade did not bounce as he imagined but did something better. She grinded against his groin, rolling her hips in a sensual dance that made her folds and clit rub against him. In an overwhelming passion, her hands began to fondle and knead her own breasts. She squeezed and pulled each nipple while gyrating from side to side in frantic patterns. From what Jai could see, she was either tiring quickly, or her orgasm was approaching, for her rhythm started to falter, frustration etched in her expression.

Jai took this chance to sit up and latch his mouth onto hers, their tongues dueling for supremacy and control. Both hands clutched her ass to assist Jade in her movement. She moaned again and surrendered to allow her lover free rein.

"One more," Jai spoke into her mouth.

His woman was just able to catch the rekindled gleam in her beloved's eyes as Jai helped Jade off his lap. She did so shakily and was only too eager to heed his directions after he positioned her to lay on all fours.

Jade purred. "Ohh, Jai." For an added effect, she arched her back like a cat, face down and ass up. "Like this~?"

"Exactly like that..."

Wasting little time, Jai moved behind his insatiable lover with dirty intentions in mind. His gaze lingered on the orifice that sat in between two shapely cheeks, which he separated for his prize. A curious tongue crept outward and tasted the sensitive skin before circling it numerous times. Jade shuddered violently but steadied herself to relish this stimulation. His motions were expert in approach and technique, and Jade found it intoxicating. Both her openings received equal attention in what she considered to be her husband's finest work.

"S-so... so good," Jade cooed.

It didn't take long for Jai to hit her weak spot, Jade's shrill shriek echoing as she trembled against his hold. This is what he craved for, to have his wife submit to his advances before giving her what she truly desired.

She wouldn't have to wait any longer. "Fuck me, Jai..."

Vulnerable yet patient, Jade stretched out amidst the sand with each leg evenly spread, her back maintaining an alluring arch. She sighed heavily as Jai ran his hands down her spine to her posterior, sinking into his caresses. Trembling with anticipation, Jai groaned loudly as he entered her vice, taking his time to meld their lower bodies. Jade smiled and squealed at what was happening. Here she was with the love of her life, making love on a beach with not a single care. Her plan worked flawlessly, Jai's focus solely on her rather than his nightmares or the bane of her existence.

His stamina had increased since they first copulated.

Soon, the island was filled with the clap of Jai's hips against Jade's ass before he grabbed her waist to bury himself within her depths. Their bodies laid parallel against one another, allowing Jai to clutch her breasts while hastening the pace. The pace increased as Jade moaned and screamed across the island before straightening her back. Tender lips sunk into the hollow of Jade's collarbone, her eyes rolling into her head.

"Yes! Yes, Jai! Like that! Ohh, by the Gods, Jai! Don't stop! Please don't ever stop!"

Jai had no intention of doing so.

His woman, the love of his life, was spread out before him to solidify their marriage. Tanya didn't exist in his mind and never would again. Jade was the only important one now, and he was so so close...

Their position shifted as Jade was overwhelmed with pleasure, no longer able to sit on her knees. She sunk into the sand in a prone position, her hips still raised as Jai continued pounding her ass into submission while pulling her long braid.

And then-

Each cried out amid their climax, Jai's hips jerking as he spilled his seed into Jade. She bucked against him as husband and wife shook before collapsing into the sand, utterly spent and content with each other.

The lovers stayed under the star-studded night sky, hands clasped together. Tonight put to rest any doubt that Jai would ever think more about Tanya than the woman laying on his chest, legs intertwined with his. And Jade was more than happy to assist in that effort.

"T- That... that was fun," Jade panted.

"Agreed, my wife," Jai replied in the same manner. "Thank you for healing me."

"Oh, I'm not done just yet, husband."

Her words flowed like silkened honey as she kissed him passionately, trailing her mouth and tongue down his abdomen to taste his salty skin. Jade moved her luscious tongue across her parted lips to arouse Jai, his manhood twitching. Like earlier, Jade's body stretched over the sand on her stomach, her chest hovering over his love muscle. She opened her jaw wide and engulfed him as the rod hit the back of her throat. Jai's head flew upward with a pleasured groan as he felt the constant suction. Through half-lidded eyes, he ran his fingers through her raven hair and bucked his hips into her mouth.

Despite this treatment, Jai had done an excellent job withholding himself from finishing too soon, and that drove Jade to change her methods. She moved back and forth with her tongue against the underside of his erection before kneading his sensitive genitals. Lowering her head, Jade pulled his sack into her mouth while stroking the full mast. Both testicles received unholy attention, Jade eyeing her husband with those emerald eyes that seemed endless like a pit. The finishing blow came when she sucked hard on each while pushing the free ball against the interior of his bag.

Jai groaned deeply, his body convulsing as several jets of warm seed flew everywhere on Jade's face, mouth, and bosom. The release didn't catch her by surprise as she knew it was only a matter of time before her husband reached his breaking point. She had to commend him for his self-control. Lesser men wouldn't have lasted as long. Jade didn't take long in gulping down his release and greedily picked up the rest using her tongue.

"Mmm... an acquired taste, Jai," Jade moaned in satisfaction, which left her lover dazed. "Let's wash off in the ocean." She crept closer to his mouth. "Then, we can have even more fun."

One Month later:

All good things eventually had to come to an end.

While Jai would've been glad to stay in eternity with Jade on the island, they had to return home. Both were already missing their children dearly. Not to mention their duties would resume.

The trip did have one final surprise.

One day, Jade rushed into the living room with a mixed expression of shock and joy. It confused Jai at first before she whispered that she was pregnant again. Their last child was conceived on a memorable trip... Virgil, their baby son.

No, it wasn't a dream, but it felt like one sometimes to Edenia's sworn protectors.
