Chapter 18 What Is It?

With the glitch in the Carmichael marriage finally sorted and Sam's return to Kalokairi making everyone happy again, things had soon started to feel normal once more. After their making up, Donna and Sam had promised to never let things get so bad between them, that they found they couldn't talk to one another anymore. It had been a lack of communication that had very nearly ruined everything and on top of that, the lack of time the couple had spent together since the birth of their son. With the help of the Dynamos, the Carmichael's made sure they spent at least one evening a week together, with no baby and no distractions. It was their 'date night' and the perfect opportunity to talk about whatever was on their minds. It hadn't all been plain sailing, but things were vastly improving and had Donna trying hard to work on her stubborn streak. Whenever they sensed tension in the air, or an argument about to unfold, both Sam and Donna simply walked away to cool off, before the situation escalated further. Nine times out of ten, it worked, with the couple always making up in the best way they knew how… In the bedroom. Things in that department had greatly improved too, since the birth of their youngest child. Sam had taken his time, staying patient with his wife and going as slow as she needed, although he needn't have bothered. Having her husband back on the island and back in her bed, Donna had soon found her missing sex drive. In fact, it had come back with gusto, keeping Sam on his toes whilst trying to keep up with her newfound sexual appetite.

Christmas had been and gone, along with the New Year celebrations and now the next event circled on the calendar, was little Max Carmichael's first birthday. It had been agreed, that they would have a small family party for the small tot and generally spoil him rotten, making up for the lost time, when his parents had been separated. There hadn't been much to plan, but as the day quickly approached, Donna noticed her husband in private talks with her best friends on a few occasions. Her suspicion had instantly been aroused, yet when she questioned any of them about it, she was met with a wall of hushed silence. They were definitely up to something, but what exactly, Donna didn't know. She hated being left out of the loop with her backup girls, but what she hated more, was the thought of her husband keeping things from her too.

Walking into the bedroom, after settling Max down for the night, Donna found Sam sat on the bed with his laptop. "Working at this time?" She said, closing the door behind her and walking over to the bed, before kicking off her pumps.

Looking up at his wife, Sam smiled at her. "No, I've finished now darling." He replied, closing down the top of his computer. "Did Max go down alright?" He then asked, watching Donna climbing onto the bottom of the bed and crawling on her hands and knees towards him.

She was moving slowly, biting her lower lip and staring him straight in the eye. Taking his laptop off the bed, Sam placed it on the nightstand, to make room for his gorgeous wife. He turned back to face her, instantly capturing that glint in her eye, that he'd missed so much during their temporary separation. Donna was still moving slowly and trying not to giggle when she realised her husband was now staring right down the front of her dress. Sam smirked, when she finally reached him, sliding onto his lap and sitting astride him.

"Max is fast asleep." Donna said quietly, gazing deeply into Sam's twinkling eyes and wrapping her arms around his neck. "It's just you and me baby." She continued, planting a delicate kiss on his lips. "No distractions." She finished, placing another kiss on his lips.

Snaking his arms around his wife's slim waist, Sam's smile grew wider. "Oh really?" He asked, feeling himself becoming aroused at her seductive tone of voice.

"Really." Donna answered, shifting positions slightly, so she could feel Sam's fast growing arousal pressing between her legs, confirming that what she was doing, was most definitely working. "But… There's just one thing I need to know…" She paused, to give him another kiss, this time gently biting his lower lip as she pulled away. "Before I let you slowly undress me..."

"This is getting interesting." Sam said, feeling himself getting harder for her by the second, as he peered down at her cleavage and then back into her green eyes. "Tell me more… In detail." He added, wiggling his eyebrows at her and tightening his grip around her waist.

Licking her lips, Donna knew for a fact her husband was unbelievably turned on. "Before I let you delicately kiss your way up my inner thigh… Before you work me hard with that fantastic tongue of yours…" She carried on, her tone low and drawn out, as she kept up her teasing kisses. "Before I beg you to make me come… And before I return the favour…" She said, her voice almost down to a whisper, as she kissed him once more, this time trailing the tip of her tongue across the entrance of his mouth. "With a mind blowing blowjob." She finally finished, raising an eyebrow as she stared into his now glazed eyes.

"Jesus Christ Donna." Sam whispered, tightening his hold once more around his wife's waist and feeling the throbbing between his legs intensify. "What do you want to know?"

Throwing her head back, Donna let out a raucous laugh. It hadn't taken much to convince her husband to spill the beans on his little secret. Now all she had to do was make sure he delivered, before she'd make good on her dirty little proposition. If Sam knew what was good for him, he would tell her, as he knew he couldn't take her teasing for very long. He was a red-blooded male after all and as Donna had discovered way back in the day, men often thought with what was in their pants, not their heads. If anything, placing her cards on the table, with an offer of oral, would surely secure the deal. Tanya had been forthcoming with that wealth of information, telling her best friends years ago, that if all else failed, 'trouser kisses' were the secret weapon to use.

"I want to know what you and the Dynamos are up to." Said Donna, still sitting astride her husband and staring intensely into his dark blue eyes. "I've seen you plotting something and I want to know what it is."

Nodding, Sam smiled at his wife. "Oh you do?" He asked, sliding his hands from her waist, down to her rear. "Well what if I told you we're not plotting anything?" He added, giving her a gentle squeeze and watching her narrowing her eyes at him.

"Then I'd say you're a fucking liar honey." Replied Donna, making Sam laugh at her response. "So are you going to tell me?" She then asked, sliding her hand down between their bodies and quickly grabbing hold of Sam's manhood through his jeans. "Or do I need to force it out of you?" She finished, tilting her head to one side and raising her eyebrows as he winced.

"Be as forceful as you want darling, but there is nothing going on for you to worry about." Sam said, clearing his throat and throwing his wife down on the bed next to him. "I can assure you." He added, staring into her eyes, as he ran his hand up under her dress.

Slowly nodding her head, Donna grabbed hold of Sam's hand and sat up. "Right then. If that's the way you want to play it Carmichael…" She said, getting off the bed and instantly taking her dress off, followed by her underwear. "Then I'm going for a hot bath…alone." She finished, walking naked into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

Laughing, Sam shook his head at his wife's sulking. "Does that mean sex is off the agenda darling?" He asked loudly, taking his laptop off the nightstand, so he could carry on working.

"COMPLETELY!" Donna shouted back from the other side of the door.

"Yeah, we'll see about that." Sam muttered under his breath, as he started to tap away on his keyboard and listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Donna had been right, he and her two best friends had been planning something behind her back, but Sam wasn't about to divulge any details about it just yet. His wife had played a good game with her promise of sexual favours and Sam had been exceptionally close to breaking. Although planning Max's small birthday party hadn't taken long, the other thing Sam had planned, took a while longer. After talking to the Dynamos, Sam had run an idea by them and they jumped at the chance to help him carry it off. Once his wife had got over being in a mood with him, Sam knew she'd love the surprise he had for her, or at least he hoped she would.

*************

Stepping out the bath, Donna dried her relaxed body and wrapped the towel around herself. She then proceeded to brush her teeth and apply her nightly ritual of moisturiser in the mirror, when Sam appeared behind her. He was now just in his tight fitting Calvin Klein boxers, which accentuated his already impressive package and was he was stood staring at her through the reflection. Donna was still annoyed that he hadn't told her anything and she did have all intentions of withholding sex, but looking at his muscular body now, she could feel herself slowly weakening… There was something about his toned contours, that awoke Donna from the inside; visions of the way her husband's muscles tensed when he held her close, seeing the sweat trickling down his abs during lovemaking, or his strength when he pinned her against the shower wall, driving into her with his solid length… Stop it, Donna scolded herself, quickly snapping her out of the highly arousing thoughts.

"Excuse me." Sam said quietly, walking over to press himself up against Donna, as he leant past her to get his toothbrush.

Donna remained silent, narrowing her eyes at her handsome husband, before moving to the side to allow him to use the wash basin. It was fairly obvious what he was trying to do to her and Donna quite enjoyed just looking at his impressive physique, her mind instantly wandering back to her naughty thoughts. Finishing getting ready for bed, Sam turned and gave his wife a cheeky wink. He was trying not to laugh, when he realised she was checking him out and her gaze was now fixated on the concealed bulge manhood.

"Well goodnight sweetheart." Said Sam, leaning forward to place a tender kiss on her cheek. "Sleep well." He finished, turning and walking back into the bedroom.

Following her husband into the bedroom, Donna watched him climbing into bed and turning out the light on his nightstand. He was playing hard to get and she was finding his aloofness rather sexy. Stood in the doorway, Donna let her towel fall from her body and made her way over to the bed, before climbing in next to her husband. Sam had his eyes closed as he laid on his back, but knew it would only be a matter of seconds before his wife made the first move. He was right. Donna slid her body on top of Sam's, causing him to open his eyes and grin at her.

"I thought you said sex was no go Mrs. Carmichael." Said Sam, sliding his hands down Donna's naked body and bringing them to a stop on her ass. "Or have you finished sulking with me now?"

Resting up on Sam's chest, Donna stared into his eyes. "Oh I'm still sulking with you, but that doesn't mean that I should deny myself an orgasm." She responded, pouting at him as she reached down for his underwear.

It didn't take Donna long to rid Sam of his boxer shorts and to reposition herself, as she kissed her way back up his toned torso. He was flinching each time she made contact with his skin and left a trail of wet, open mouthed kisses in her wake. There was no need for foreplay this time, the teasing earlier on had worked a treat for the pair of them and Donna knew exactly what she wanted. Pausing when she reached her husband's chest, Donna was in a playful mood, as she first circled one of his nipples with her tongue and then teasingly bit down on it. Sam yelped, his whole body jumping, causing his wife to start giggling, as she repeated the process on his other.

"Relax Samuel, this won't take long." Whispered Donna, now turning her attention to his lips. "Not long at all." She added barely audible, as she eased herself slowly onto her husband's solid erection.

They both emitted a pleasurable moan, as Donna paused to allow herself to accommodate Sam's length and then began to move her hips at a fast pace. She was in no mood to be taking things slow like they had been doing lately, she was wanting to get her satisfaction as soon as she could. Sam wasn't complaining in the slightest, he was thoroughly enjoying his beautiful wife taking the lead and transporting him towards his own climax in the process. Working him hard, Donna was starting to lose control at an alarming rate, with the beads of perspiration already forming on her hot body, she sat upright and pushed herself harder onto her husband's penis. They were both moaning in unison, as Sam's hands explored his wife's curvaceous figure and he paused to cup her pert, firm breasts in his hands. Donna felt the tiny hairs on the back of her neck stand up, as Sam caressed her the way she loved and urged her to up the pace once more.

"Do you like that Sam?" Whispered Donna breathlessly, grinding herself faster against her husband and hearing his moans get louder as she did.

Grabbing Donna's hips, to keep her in the right position, Sam groaned. "Hell yeah." He managed to reply, feeling her pelvic muscles starting to grip around his length, from top to bottom. "Don't…Stop."

A small smirk came to Donna's face, as she carried on what she was doing and it wasn't long before she started to feel the familiar stirrings of her mounting orgasm. With a few more strategic hip movements, she was there. She reached an earth shattering climax, almost screaming as she came and slowed her movements down. Normally she would have carried on, easing her husband straight into his, but tonight, Donna had other ideas. Sam had been close, but opened his eyes when his wife came to a complete stop and he found her grinning at him.

"Told you it wouldn't take long honey." Said Donna, feeling Sam's erection throbbing desperately for release within her. "Well… Goodnight." She continued, watching his jaw drop in disbelief, as she carefully eased herself off him and rolled to his side. "Oh and feel free to take yourself to the bathroom, if you're not quite satisfied sweetheart."

Trying so hard not to burst out laughing, Donna laid on her stomach and let out a dramatic satisfied sigh, as she made herself comfortable. Sam laid there for a few seconds, in total shock at what his wife had just done. In an instant, Donna had turned the tables on him and only used him to get what she wanted. He never expected her to do that, but one thing was for sure, he wasn't going to let her get one over on him. Sitting up, Sam looked down at his wife and saw her body shaking, as she silently giggled into her pillow. He smirked, shaking his head and then pulled the covers off her, to expose her perfect body to him.

"Oh you think that's funny do you?" Asked Sam, then tracing his fingertips down the curve of Donna's spine and over the mound of her rear. "Now you're going to pay woman." He continued, forcefully parting her legs and moving himself in between them.

Turning her head, Donna groaned loudly, as her husband roughly entered her from behind. Pressing his weight against her, Sam felt his wife's body submit to him, as he began his powerful thrusts within her tight womanhood. Donna was soon moaning again, raising her ass to meet Sam's strong hip movements and finding herself unbelievably turned on by his forceful behaviour. She knew he wouldn't let her get away with it and deep down, she'd hoped that he wouldn't either. Sliding his hands under Donna's body, Sam took hold of her breasts and thrust even deeper into her. He was moaning, kissing his way across her shoulder blades, pausing now and then to whisper naughty things into her ear, making her moan in response to him.

"I'm not going to stop, until I hear you scream." Whispered Sam, seeing his wife now closing her eyes and gasping for breath as he pushed even deeper into her warmth. "I won't stop until you've made me cum."

"Oh god…Oh god." Donna moaned over and over, feeling herself reaching another climax and fast.

Sam smiled to himself, removing his hands from his wife's breasts and reaching up to take her hands, that were gripping tightly to her pillow. He entwined his fingers through hers, upping the pace for the final time and feeling his erection now throbbing uncontrollably. With her hip movements meeting Sam's thrust for thrust, Donna felt a tidal wave of a climax rip through her for the second time tonight. She screamed, burying her face into her pillow in a desperate attempt to stifle the noise she was making. It was just as strong as the first and this time, her husband was right there with her. Sam called out his wife's name in a long continuous groan as he came, only seconds after her. With her body instantly relaxing, Donna took a few deep breaths to get air into her lungs and felt her husband quickly withdraw from her, rolling to her side to relieve her of his weight. She was now completely exhausted and Sam wasn't much better either, as he rested up on his elbow and peered down at his wife's heaving, perspiring body.

"I can't believe you were actually going to leave me like that." Said Sam, shaking his head, as Donna finally turned her head to peer up at him.

Reaching up, Donna trailed her fingers through Sam's chest hairs and pouted at him. "Aww poor baby, don't sulk. You got what you wanted didn't you?" She said teasingly, giggling as a smile then spread across his face.

"God you're a bitch sometimes." Answered Sam, springing forward and tickling his wife, making her scream. "But I like it." He added, laying down next to her and pulling her into his arms.

They both were giggling as they found their comfortable positions in one another's arms. Holding each other close, it wasn't long until both of them had fallen asleep, ready to wake up to another normal day at the villa. Little did Donna know, but Sam's surprise was soon to be revealed to her. Her plan of sexual seduction had well and truly failed, but nevertheless, they had both had fun even if she was none the wiser as to what her husband was up to.

***************

The next day around the villa went along as usual, with Donna checking out a few guests and leaving little Max in the care of the Dynamos, while she got on with the rest of her chores. Sam had left his wife in bed and slipped out earlier that morning, to run a few errands on the mainland. It wasn't until Donna passed the courtyard bar and glanced at the clock, that she realised her husband had been gone for hours and that he hadn't even called her. She smiled softly to herself, when her mind cast back to the night before and the way she had fallen asleep wrapped in Sam's strong, protective arms.

"And what are you smiling at Sheridan?" Asked Tanya, rounding the corner and finding Donna lost in a world of her own.

Snapping out of it, Donna turned her head towards her best friend and gave her a wink. "That would be telling." She replied smugly, as she tucked a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "Have you seen Sam around?"

Shaking her head, Tanya took a seat on one of the high stools at the bar. "Not since this morning honey, sorry." She answered, watching as her friend then walked behind the bar to get a chilled bottle of Chardonnay out of the fridge. "Didn't he tell you where he was going?"

"The mainland, but nothing more specific than that." Responded Donna, expertly opening the wine bottle and pouring out two large glasses of the pale liquid. "Now don't bullshit me Tan. He's up to something and you know what it is don't you?" She then asked, narrowing her green eyes suspiciously at the brunette sat in front of her.

Of course the Dynamo knew something, but she wasn't going to let anything slip now. It had taken her and Rosie all they had to keep things hidden from Donna, even though they were excited for their best friend. Sam had done everything so far regarding his surprise for his wife and had simply asked her best friends for advice along the way. They knew he wanted to make things up to Donna after their recent troubles with their marriage and his ideas, although simple, were perfectly romantic. A few more hours and all would be revealed to the inquisitive blonde, as long as the backup girls could keep her distracted.

Taking a long sip of her white wine, Tanya then slowly shook her head. "I know nothing." She replied, trying to sound convincing and trying not to start giggling at the same time. "I'm sure Sam will be back soon enough though."

"Hmmm." Donna responded, knowing she wasn't going to get anything out of her friend. "I'm sure he will." She added, also taking a long, thirst-quenching sip of her drink and checking the clock behind her, one more time.

Helping herself to a refill, Tanya shifted positions on her stool. "Anyway Don… Sophie has agreed to see to Max this evening, so you, Rosie and I, can have a girly night." She said, steering the subject away from Donna's missing husband. "We thought maybe a few bottles of wine, look through a few old photos, have a good old gossip… What do you say?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Donna placed her large wineglass down on the bar. "Sure, sounds fun." She answered with a smile, before her attention returned to the clock behind her. "And seeing as my bloody husband has been absent all day, he can help Soph out… A man free zone." She finished, grabbing her Chardonnay and taking a long refreshing sip.

Donna was far from impressed with her husband's actions and was grateful that she had the Dynamos around to take her mind off it. She could of course, call Sam's cell phone, but her stubborn streak wouldn't let her back down and after all, he should've called her… What the hell are you up to Sam? You are soooo in the shithouse when you get home… Fucking men, She thought to herself, as she poured her and Tanya another large glass of wine… All the sneakiness was getting too much for her to handle now and whatever her elusive husband had planned, Donna hoped it would be worth the trouble he was going to be in when he finally returned to the villa. Not only had she single-handedly done a full days work, she had hardly spent any time with her baby boy and it was already the day before his first birthday, with things still to prepare for his small party.

"I need to get a move on." Said Donna, then gulping down the last of her wine. "There's still the food to do for Max's party and then…"

"It's done." Tanya replied quickly, cutting her friend off before she could carry on. "Rosie started early this morning and everything's practically finished honey. You know what the Hermit's like once she's let loose in the kitchen… It was a blur of utensils and Tupperware, but that could be down to the fact that I was still drunk from last night." She continued, throwing her head back and laughing loudly, causing Donna to laugh too. "So relax, everything's under control."

Nodding her head, Donna smiled at the brunette. "Yeah, it seems so… Where's Rosie now?" She asked, walking back from behind the bar, wineglass in hand.

"With Sophie and the kids, down on the beach." Tanya replied, before peering down at her gold Rolex to check the time. "Why don't you go get cleaned up before we have dinner and the girly fun begins."

Placing her now empty glass down on the bar, Donna nodded. "I will, but I want to go see my babies first." She said, walking off towards the stone steps that lead to the beach. "See you soon."

*************

Later that evening, the three best friends were all sat on Donna's bed and reminiscing over the 'good old days'. The wine was flowing, as were the tears of laughter, as Donna and the Dynamos looked back through the photo albums, crammed full with pictures of their colourful pasts. Sam had returned a short while earlier and after walking through the deserted courtyard, he had heard the sounds of raucous laughter, drifting through the open shutters of their room above. Stopping at the bar, he collected a bottle of expensive Champagne and two glasses, before heading down to the beach below the villa. Checking the time, Sam got to work on putting his plan into action, knowing the Dynamos would be sending his wife his way soon.

Taking a sip of her wine, Donna noticed that Rosie kept glancing at the time nervously. It was then, she realised that this little 'get together', had somehow been part of her husband's plan to keep her distracted, while he got up to god knows what. Standing up steadily, as the drink had gone to her head, Donna turned to stare down at her two best friends. Both Tanya and Rosie stared back, trying to keep straight faces, as the alcohol started to effect them too. They knew the blonde was onto them, but neither wanted to give the game away too soon. It was nearly time to send her on her way, so all could be revealed by Sam and all they had to do, was keep Donna preoccupied for a few more minutes.

"Okay you two. What is it? What the fuck is going on?" Asked Donna, her words slightly slurred, as she placed one hand on her slender hip and the other held tightly to her half filled wineglass. "This whole girls night thing, has something to do with Sam going walkabouts today… And don't try and fob me off with some feeble excuse, that you two wanted a reason to get drunk and have fun, because you certainly don't need me to do that." She continued, as her two best friends started to giggle quietly at her.

Standing up, Rosie walked over to Donna. "Will you just calm down love. We can't tell you what's going on because it's a surprise." She said in a soothing voice and smiling at her best friend. "In fact…" She added, glancing round at the clock on the nightstand for the hundredth time. "If you make your way down to the beach, your ever so romantic husband will be there to reveal all."

"Oh really?" Donna responded, instantly calming down and shifting her weight from one foot to the other, as she stared at her backup girls.

"Really." Answered Tanya now smirking, as she stood from her comfy seat on the bed. "Now get out of here and have fun." She finished, taking the wineglass out of her friends hand and shooing her out the bedroom.

Smiling to herself, Donna walked barefooted down the stairs and out into night breeze that blew through the courtyard. She had been so mad at her husband for leaving her for the whole day, but now with a mixture of feeling a tad tipsy and butterflies of excitement circling the pit of her stomach, Donna's anger quickly subsided. Walking cautiously down the uneven stone steps towards the beach, she couldn't hear anything except the ocean crashing violent against the rocky shoreline. It wasn't until Donna reached the bottom step, that she paused upon finding Sam waiting for her. He looked so handsome under the moonlight, his eyes twinkling brightly as he walked towards her with his sexy smile. Donna closed her eyes briefly, as her husband leant in close and placed a tender kiss on her cheek, after she'd turned her head from him.

"Don't be mad at me darling." Whispered Sam, pausing by his wife's ear. "This is for you." He added, handing her the beautiful pink rose he'd been holding behind his back.

Taking it from him, Donna inhaled it's sweet scent. "Thank you." She said quietly, then gazing deeply into his dark blue eyes. "So are you going to tell me where you've been all day? Or am I left with just thinking you've been up to no good?"

Smiling at his wife's apparent coolness with him, Sam held out his hand to her. "I had to tie up a few loose ends… Walk with me." He replied, as Donna reluctantly took his hand and began to walk along the beach with him.

The night air was cool, yet bearable and as usual, there was no one else in sight on the private stretch of sand below the hotel. Donna soon realised that they were heading in the direction of their 'spot' and that her husband was slowing down, as they approached the huge rock face that overlooked it. He brought them to a complete stop and turned to face his wife once more. Smiling at the confused expression on her beautiful face, Sam couldn't resist the urge to lean in to place a delicate kiss on her soft lips.

"There's something I want to ask you sweetheart." Sam said in almost a whisper, after pulling away and staring into Donna's ocean green eyes.

"Okay." Donna responded slowly, still confused as to what was going on. "What is it?" She asked, feeling her body tense a little, as she swallowed softly.

Smiling, Sam took his wife's hand once more and helped her up onto the rocks with him. "That." He answered simply, pointing down to the sand below in their special spot.

Donna turned her head to see what he was talking about and gasped quietly, when she saw what Sam had done. He had obviously been busy, strategically placing small white pebbles on the beach, to spell something out for his wife. Once it had registered, Donna couldn't help but let out a small giggle at what he was asking her… 'MARRY ME…AGAIN?'… It was short, to the point and delivered in the most romantic way Donna could have dreamed of. Now all he anger of her husband and best friends sneaking around, had well and truly dissolved, leaving Donna with a wonderful floaty feeling in her chest. Turning round, she found her husband smiling up at her whilst down on one knee. He was holding out her Tiffany engagement ring, that she hadn't worn since her dramatic weight loss and it had become too big for her.

"Will you marry me all over again?" Sam asked, as his wife held out her hand, for him to slide the resized solitaire onto her finger.

Biting her lower lip, Donna smiled back at him. "I don't knowwww… Can I at least think about it?" She answered, causing Sam's jaw to drop open. "I'm joking Samuel… I'd love to do it all over again." She continued, beckoning him with her finger.

Standing up, Sam instantly wrapped his arms around his wife's slim waist and pulled her close for a kiss. Donna responded, throwing her arms around Sam's neck, meeting his powerful kiss with equal force. Her body melted against his, warming her cool body almost immediately. They stayed in the tight embrace for quite a while, enjoying the closeness and their private moment together in the place where it had all started over twenty years previous. Finally parting, Sam traced his thumb over Donna's cheek, where tears of joy had started to fall from her eyes. He had made her happy, just like she had made him the happiest man alive, the day she married him the first time round.

"I love you Mrs. Carmichael." Sam whispered, then placing yet another sweet kiss on his wife's perfect lips.

Smiling back at him, Donna placed her hand over his on her cheek. "I love you too honey. So much." She replied, falling into his arms once more to rest her head on his broad chest.

She did love him, more than ever. It was the gestures like these, that made Donna fall in love with Sam, all over again. He was sweet, caring and never failed to amaze her with his crazy spontaneity. The unbelievable amount of love she held in her heart for him, had been there ever since they'd first met in Paris and it wasn't until Sam returned to Greece just over two years ago, that he'd managed to unearth her deeply buried feelings for him. Although she'd never be the one to admit it, Donna had needed that 'middle-aged, menopausal man' in her life and now she had him, everything just seemed to fall into place.

Little did Donna know, the second part of her husband's surprise was going to become clear to her the next morning. Sam didn't want to give it away too soon. He wanted to enjoy his precious alone time with his gorgeous wife, before things got rather hectic around the villa the next day. The Dynamos had been a big help with the planning of everything and Sam couldn't be more grateful to his wife's best friends. They of course, wouldn't have had it any other way. If it meant helping their friend keep her marriage on the straight and narrow after the Carmichael's little stumble, then the backup girls would do whatever it took.

A.N. Hope you liked it hunnies?… Let me know though hehe, if you want more… Gonna try my best to update the other story, before I go to New York next week.. So yeah, I'm going AWOL againnnnn! Haha.. Loads of love, Liv x
