Carlisle

The plane ride to Rio went by rather quickly. When we landed, Esme was texting Edward. "Rosalie wouldn't listen and had too much…" She told me.

I sighed. "I have to call her. It'll only be a minute, sorry."

"Take your time."

I called her and she picked up on the second ring. "Hey, dad." Her voice was shaky.

"Why didn't you listen to him?" I questioned.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Don't play dumb with me, Rosalie. You knew what would happen."

"I'm fine."

"Your voice is shaky, so you're either fine now, or your fine up until now."

She sighed, "It already happened…but it wasn't too bad. Emmett calmed me down pretty quickly."

"Rosalie, you were the one worried about this. Don't let it happen again under alcohol influence." I spoke sternly.

"Okay. Sorry dad."

I hung up and turned to Esme.

"Mind explaining now?"

"When she drinks too much it worsens her depression greatly. She has breakdowns. The higher the alcohol in her system, the worse it is." I explained.

"Is she okay?"

"She is now. Emmett calmed her down before."

"Good."

"On a better note, are you ready to go?"

She smiled and nodded. I took her hand and led her to the car that was waiting for us.

We drove through Rio towards the docs. A festival was taking place on the streets, and I would have asked the driver to stop for her, but Esme wasn't a person to like crowds. So we continued until we reached the water. I paid the driver and gave him a very generous tip.

I got our bags out and loaded a boat. "We aren't staying here?"

"Nope. We're going somewhere much better. In my opinion anyway. Not too many people."

She tilted her head to the side, thinking about where we could possibly be going from Rio where there aren't many people.

I took her hand to help her into the boat. I sat down after she did.

"Can you please tell me now?"

"No." I smirked, enjoying her frustration.

She crossed her arms, but couldn't help smiling at me. "Well, let's go then."

I laughed at her. "Your wish is my command, my love." I started the boat and we off across the water.


A few hours later and we arrived at a beautiful island with a large beach house in view in front of the forest.

"Oh my god…" Esme was fascinated.

I stopped the boat when we reached the doc. I got up and helped her back out of the boat.

"Welcome to Isle Esme…"

She turned around to me. "What?"

"Isle Esme. It's yours. A cleaning crew will come once a week when we're here, and once a month when we aren't."

"Are you telling me that you bought me an entire island?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you…"

"Oh Carlisle." She flew into my arms and planted a hard kiss on my lips. "Thank you."

"If this is how you're going to react when I buy you things, I need to buy you stuff all the time…" I smirked.

A devilish smile spread across her face.

"Go look around; I'll be there in a minute."

She walked up to the house and I got our bags inside.

She was sitting on the bed in our bedroom.

"There's a bed…"

"Oh, we just had to fill up space." I joked.

"Ha ha." She faked.

"Swim?"

"Yeah, just give me a minute. I'll be out soon."

"Don't take too long…" I winked.

Esme

I waited for Carlisle to walk out before I grabbed a bag and went into the ensuite. I brushed my teeth, took a very quick shower and brushed my hair. There was a bathing suit in the bag, but I realised that Carlisle didn't take one…

I picked up my phone and dialled Alice's number.

"Hello?"

"Alice, I don't know what to do…"

"It's not your first time…" she said.

"No, that's not what I mean. We are going to swim but he isn't wearing a bathing suit, and I'm a little scared of what he will think…"

"Oh god, Esme. Really? You have an amazing figure, and even if you didn't, I'm positive he wouldn't mind. He didn't marry you for your body."

"But—"

"No buts, just go. Forget about everything for tonight, just be with him."

"Okay, thanks."

I hung up and turned around to see Carlisle leaning on the door frame with a towel around him.

"You are joking, right?"

If I could go red, I definitely would have at this moment. I bit my lip and looked at his torso. It was so evenly toned. It was perfect.

When I looked in his eyes and saw nothing but desire, I forgot about my insecurities for the moment. I walked past him and went towards the water. He joined me immediately.

He lifted me up to his height as we kissed for several minutes in the water. Our bodies were stone cold like always, but I felt a strange warmth between us.

Our lips parted after a while, and I was longing to his back on mine.

"Are you still insecure?" He whispered, kissing my neck.

"Not so much." I breathed.

I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled his head back from my neck. I crashed my lips against his. As the kisses intensified, his hands started to roam, as did mine.

All of a sudden, he picked me up into his arms and ran. We were on the bed within a few seconds.

His lips returned to my neck and I sighed with pleasure. A low growl escaped his lips.

A few more kisses down to my collar bone and he stopped. He lifted himself up on his hands and knees over me. "Are you ready for this? I know your past still haunts you."

"Carlisle, you are not Charles. If you were, you would have skipped the swim and kisses."

"Are you sure?"

I rolled my eyes and gripped his hair before kissing him lustfully. When I pulled away, I smirked. "I am fine." I assured.
