Epilogue

'This your idea of relaxation eh?' Penelope asked as Derek sat beside her, her legs dipped into the pool, the sun beating on her back.

'Well, how about, is this your idea of relaxation?' He said and passed her a drink. 'Bahama Mama?'

'Excuse me?'

He laughed. 'We're in the Bahamas; I thought he was a good drink.' He said with a smirk. 'You gonna undress a little? Let some sun hit that gorgeous skin of yours?'

'Na uh.'

He frowned. 'And why not?'

'I'm not as perfect as you Derek.' She said and swung her legs in the water.

'Who's going to see you?'

'You are.' She replied bashfully and placed her drink to her side. 'I've got issues with the way I look Derek.' He knew in an instant that she was being seriously, there were no nicknames. 'I know you've seen bits of but I don't want to ruin this, whatever state we're in, when you see it all together.'

'Baby girl, look at me.' She did and he instantly kissed her, he pulled her close and made her feel what he was feeling, pulling away she noticed he had a small grin on his lips. 'You got swim wear on under that?'

'Derek...'

'Do you?'

'Yeah.' She said and he slipped into the pool, he turned to her.

'Come on baby, in you come.' She gave him a warning glare and he laughed. 'Come in here and I'm going to show you what I see, feel, want whenever I see you.' He swam towards her and took one her hands. 'Come on baby girl, trust me on this okay.'

'Fine.' She said and slipped into the water, immediately Derek pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her, he captured her lips with his and as he pulled away he kept her bottom lip between his teeth and then smiled as they parted. He then undid the buttons on her jeans and removed them and then pulled her top up off her, leaving her in a bikini immersed in the water. He looked at her and all he saw was a woman he wanted and would strive to keep.

'Now I thought we established nearly 2 months ago when I got you home from the hospital that I love you, that I'll do whatever I can to keep you with me always.'

'I know but I just have some serious self esteem problems hot stuff.'

'I know you do but to me you're nothing but beautiful, you're sensual and passionate and sexy and...' He stopped. 'Hell I'm going to show you.'

'Show me?'

'Yeah we're going to have some fun in this pool, seeing as this place is ours, no one's going to bother us.' He slowly took her to the corner of the pool. 'It's just you, me and loneliness, I'm really going to show you what I mean.' And like that he did, over and over again before pulling her from the pool and standing her in the sunlight, the glare glistening off the water droplets as she slowly dried. 'Beautiful.' He said and looked over her body, the scars her perfect frame held, from her shooting, and from Sam, a permanent reminder of how they had been driven apart and yet shoved back together. 'Absolutely, without a doubt, beautiful.' He said and approached her, kissing her more, running his hands over her body slowly, making sure she knew he was feeling each and every perfect curve she had.

In between the touches, the intimate gropes, the sensual kisses he pulled her into the villa, through the rooms into the bedroom and laid her down, he simply climbed on her and did everything she needed to know and in return she gave him everything that told him that she knew he wasn't lying to her.

When rolled over and separated he looked at her as she just tried to regain some composure and dignity after her screams and moans of ecstasy. She was completely oblivious to it all. 'Baby girl?'

'Mm?' She asked almost sleepily and looked at him relaxed.

'Feel under your pillow.' He guided her and she rushed an eyebrow but after nearly 2 months of him looking after her she was not about to argue or question him. She slid her hand under and gasped as her fingers wrapped around a small box. 'Pull it out.' She did to show a red satin cube. 'Open it.' She remained responsive and obedient to him and opened it and her eyes blurred as tears built.

'Derek.'

'Shh.' Derek told her and she looked from the ring to him. 'I understand if you say no but will you marry me baby girl?'

She halted her breathing. 'I told you way back that I was all in, and now I'm deadly certain I'm still all in so yes I will handsome!' She told him and Derek grabbed her pulled her close once more and wrapped his arms around her.

'I love you.'

'I love you too.' She told him and she knew she meant it, everything that happened with Sam was the past, when her world went she felt the biggest loss of all time but her world came back to her, with Derek her life rebuilt itself and she knew her world was back.
