For you

Chapter 5



Noah lie there in bed watching as Paloma slept. He no longer doubted that Paloma would be a remarkable wife and mother. She made him feel like a man. She made him feel as if he was worthy of love. Of her love. For that he was grateful. He wondered if they would be as much in love as Fox and Kay were. He was truly happy for his sister. He was content with her choice in a husband. As long as Fox treated his sister right and properly cared for her he gave them his approval. Kissing Paloma's forehead Noah laid his head back onto his pillow and switched off the lamp.



Nothing but laughter escaped the room of Fox and Kay. Fox was tickling Kay until she admitted defeat. "I give up" she yelled through her laughter. Fox smiled. "Good girl" Kay chuckled out of breath. "Your lucky your not ticklish" Fox grinned mischievously. "What if I was?" Kay looked at him. "It doesn't matter now I'm too tired to do anything" Fox smiled "Anything, that's a little too bold of a statement don't you think?" Kay looked to him. "No why?" Fox looked at her raising an eyebrow. "Well Mrs. Crane we are in Hawaii for our honeymoon" Kay smiled realizing what he was hinting to. She crawled over to him his eyes looking like a tiger's as if he were hunting for a prey. "Well Mr. Crane I think it's time to play"

The next morning Fox woke up a bit disheveled. He and Kay had a bit of a late night rendezvous the previous night. He looked over to her angelic face and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Pulling her warm body closer to him, he placed butterfly kisses along neck. She moaned softly in her sleep. Fox smiled. Getting up from the bed he walked into the bathroom and cleansed his face with water. That's when she tip-toed up behind him and slid her arms around his waist. "Good Morning Tiger" She greeted letting out a low growl. He looked her up and down from head to toe she was wearing nothing but a robe and that alone seemed to accentuate her curves. Taking her into his arms he walked back into the bedroom. "Mrs. Crane are you trying to seduce me?" Kay smirked. "Maybe" Fox looked into her blue orbs. "Well trust me it's working". Laying her down on the bed he began to untie her robe and explore all she had to offer.



Paloma looked at Noah. Who was typing furiously on his laptop. She sauntered over to him shutting his laptop. He looked at her in disbelief. "Why'd you do that?" "Noah you need to pay attention to me" she told him cupping his face in her hands. "In case you haven't noticed we're in Hawaii sharing a romantic vacation" Noah looked up at her. "And?" Paloma rolled her eyes at him. "Maybe we need to focus more on each other then on the things going on around us" Noah stared at her. "Honey I will give you all of my attention as soon as I finish this portfolio for work" Paloma sighed. "Noah does it have to be completed right at this moment?" Noah looked at her angrily. "Paloma please don't agitate me"

"I just want some admiration for a moment Noah, just please be considerate of my feelings just this once" Opening his laptop once again Noah began to type. 'So this is how it's going to be once we're married, your work is going to come before your wife?" "do you even care about me Noah ?" "Do you even love me? " Noah grew red hot but he bit his tongue instead of speaking. "Do you even care about our impending marriage or was this proposal just a way of showing everyone your not afraid of commitment?"

Noah glared at her. " Shut up Paloma!!!" his yelling caused her to jump unexpectedly. He got up from his chair. "Why are you being such a nag just shut up and let me continue my work" With that he sat down and continued typing. Tears fell from Paloma's eyes. She didn't feel as if she was being unreasonable. She just wanted him to focus on her for once. Opening her duffel bag she began to pack. Noah watched her as she did this. "Loma where are you going?" Paloma turned around revealing her tear stained face. Walking over to the desk she placed down his engagement ring. "I'm leaving, I obviously fuel your fire and of course you resent me for wanting you to love me" Standing up he grabbed hold on Paloma's sundress. He pulled her close to him as she placed her head on his shoulder. "Paloma I don't resent you, you make me a better man" He picked up the engagement ring and handed it to her. "This belongs to you" He picked up her hand and placed it on his chest. She could feel his heart. "Paloma this belongs to you too" Picking her up he placed sweet kisses along her neck. "It's time I show the future Mrs. Bennett some tender, love and care"
