Chapter 18

The following morning, Lauren awoke from her pleasant dream. Rolling over to face Joey, she found he wasn't there. Sitting up in the king size bed she looked out to the balcony seeing Joey leaning on the glass frame texting on his phone. She frowned, he should be in bed with her next not texting. Getting up and wrapping the bed sheet tightly around her body she shuffled to the patio doors, pulling them open, Joey turning around flashing her his signature smile.

"Morning beautiful" he greeted her as she shut the door behind her.

"Morning baby" putting her hands around his waist from behind resting her cheek onto his warm back.

"What do you fancy doing today?" stroking her arms as he felt her soft lips kissing his back.

"Beach" she replied simply, Lauren was easy to please, simple things were her favourite.

"Sounds great and I get to see you in a bikini too, lucky me" turning around to face her. Her hair messy from sleep, no make- up on her face she looked perfect.

"You get to see me out of it too" she replied reaching up on her tip toes winding her arms around his neck leaning into his body.

"Shower?" he said raising his eyebrow suggestively, Lauren nodding like the Churchill dog making Joey laugh picking her up and carrying her into the bathroom.

Making their way down to a secluded beach on the resort, noticing nobody else there, just the two of them with the whole beach.

"Catch me if you can" Lauren shouted shrugging off her kaftan revealing her golden bikini and running into the sea.

"Run Run as fast as you can" he shouted back dropping the bags running straight after Lauren.

Lauren dived into the huge waves, noticing Joey who was fast approaching her. Diving in staright after her, it didn't take long for him to catch her. Picking her up and kissing her wet lips, moving the wet hair from her face. Kissing her under the hot sun, the water warm as they played around like a carefree young couple. Lauren splashing water as Joey picked her up and threw her back into the water.

Lauren now lying on the sand at the edge of the water, the small waves brushing up to her waist as she sun bathed watching Joey swimming in the water.

Making his way out of the deep water, Lauren watched as he run his hands through his wet hair towards her. He looked like a model, a very sexy model and he was all hers.

Sitting down next to her, his eyes skimmed down her body in her golden bikini.

"God you look so fit Mrs Branning" his hands brushing over the thin material of her bikini top, her nipples hardening under his feather light touch.

"I love it when that happens" he whispered into her ear, his fingers leaving her breast skimming over her flat stomach reaching her bottoms, slipping his hand into them.

"Joey! Were in public" she proclaimed, about to bat away hand, but he was too fast pinning her hands above her hand as his other roamed, lightly touching her sex sending a shockwave of pleasure through her body.

"Two can play at that game" finding her inner strength she forced her way out of her grip, now pinning him now as she lay on top of his body. Grazing her crutch over his, feeling it harden underneath her, Joey releasing a groan.

Putting her hand into his swimming trunks, feeling that he was already semi hard, her brushed her hand down his length, Joey tightening his grip around her waist. Lauren's hand now moving faster she watched him close his eyes enjoying every wave of pleasure, biting firmly down on his lip as he closed in on his peak, finally exploding, his expression relaxing as he opened his eyes to see Lauren smirking her classic smirk of satisfaction at him.

"Jesus Lauren" crushing his lips onto her own, rolling onto her so he was now in firm control, their tongues dancing for dominance, Lauren fighting a losing battle as their kiss intensified.

Pulling down her bikini bottoms slightly so he could gain access easier, he felt Lauren pulling down his trunks releasing him, easing into her as the water washed over them soaking into the hot sand. Ever so slowly Joey thrusting, Lauren holding onto his biceps for support as the speed didn't change, it remained slow feeling every inch of him inside of her. Satisfying moans being heard from both, Lauren silently screaming as Joey pounded into her again her climax hitting sooner than usual as the pleasure became so intense for her, Joey following in sync.

"I think you need cooling down babe" he whispered, pulling up both of their bottoms, before standing up pulling Lauren with him picking her up over his shoulder and running into the cool ocean, Lauren smacking his bum squealing with excitement.

The day soon drew to night as they sat out on the balcony overlooking the view of the ocean. Lauren crossed legged her sketch book resting on her legs. Sketching what she saw ahead of her, taking note of the detail in the surroundings. Joey watching her intensely, she was so talented and beautiful.

"I love you Lauren" watching her head pop up from her sketching, a huge smile swept across her face.

"I love you too babe" letting her free hand cup his face, he leant into in feeling her stroking his cheek.

"Can I draw you?" letting her hand drop from his face turning her chair to face him.

Joey rolled his eyes, he knew she had been dying to draw him all evening, but she was sometimes shy when it came to her art, especially when it included him.

"Of course baby, but just make me look pretty" he winked at her playfully making Lauren giggle before composing herself to draw him.

"I'll try work a miracle" she replied sarcastically picking up her pencil, trying to stifle a laugh, knowing she had got him.

The peaceful evening drawing to a close, Lauren lay curled up in Joey's arms. Her head resting on his bare chest, feeling his fingers running through her long hair. No words spoken between them just silence a perfect silence.

Pulling her closer into his embrace he kissed the top of her head, drifting off into a peaceful sleep, the ocean providing a calm music.

The end of the honeymoon was now nearing with only a day left. Both feeling it had been the most perfect two weeks of their life's, just them with no complications or drama.

Making their way down hand in hand to breakfast, before a long flight home that evening.

"I am definatly going to miss this food" Lauren said pushing her plate aside.

"Mmm me too, I'm going to be straving when were back due to your lack of any cooking skills" he chuckled, Lauren throwing her napkin at him.

"Bloody cheek, I am a good cook you just don't know it yet" she replied.

"Guess I will be finding out when we get home, to our house" Joey said hoping Lauren would pick up on what he just said. She nodded in agreement before he saw her forehead scrunch up in confusion.

"Wait what do you mean our house?" leaning in closer to Joey.

"Well you know number 30? I put a deposit down on it and got a mortgage it's now ours babe" watching as Lauren got up from her seat launching herself into his arms.

"AAAA Thank you thank you thank you" she said between kisses.

"Well we needed our own house baby, got a life together to start living" he replied brushing her hair behind her ear.

"You know if I knew this was what my life was going to be I would of started living it a lot sooner" she said pulling herself closer into his embrace.

"Everything that has happened to us was leading us to this" he replied

"I guess you call it fate" smiling at him

" I fucking love fate" placing a kiss on her lips.
