Saturday 16th August 2025, 10am

After a fantastic fortnight at Disneyworld, the Kent Family were on to the third week of their holiday which they were spending in a Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suite on Treasure Island which was just a short drive from where they picked up the car that they had rented for the last fortnight. Sam and Tom were both so terrible desperate to make love to each other after they had spent a fortnight sleeping in the same room with their children and so they only had one thing on their mind.

"Auntie Flo isn't visiting is she?" Tom questioned in code to ensure that he wasn't getting his hopes up for nothing as they would be sleeping in their own bedroom in the suite.

"Nope, you'll be happy to hear that she came last week." Sam replied smugly.

"Who's Auntie Flow?" Ella asked confusedly.

"Well y'know Fletch isn't really your uncle but you call him that anyway? Flow is a really good friend to Mummy and she is taking care of watering the plants while we're away." Tom made it up completely and Sam was glad she was in the passenger seat so that she could hide her grin at how irritating but entertaining Tom was being at the same time.

"Okay." Ella shrugged so Sam had to stifle a laugh.

"Tom."

"Yes?"

"You do realise that you're driving on the wrong side of the road again, right?"

"I knew that." Tom quipped as he quickly got on the correct side to drive which caused both of his children to laugh at him.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this." Sam purred as she and Tom sealed themselves in their air conditioned bedroom away from the kids with their king sized double bed.

"Oh trust me, I do." Tom chuckled as it had been so agonising for them because they'd been waiting ever since they'd arrived in their suite at midday but because they couldn't leave their kids unattended, they had had to wait until they'd put their kids to bed. They'd gone food shopping and unpacked and done everything they could to wear their kids out so that they could put them to bed just a little bit earlier than usual.

"Mm, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait." Sam whispered as she placed her hands on his chest.

"Right, here is my plan for the evening: sex, then shower with sex, then get into bed and have more sex, then we'll share a hot bath with more sex, then we'll have a five minute break and then more-" Tom was interrupted by his smiling wife as she planted her soft lips onto his and then slowly pulled away to make him want her even more than he already did. "Sex." Tom whispered to finish off his sentence before he and his wife began ripping each other's clothes off and they made love so lustfully that they never wanted to stop...

Sunday 17th August 2025, 9am

Tom rolled over as he groggily awoke only he realised that the sheets next to him were cold from the effects of the air conditioning. He frowned before he got up and was about to exit his bedroom when he realised that he was in fact still naked so he pulled on a pair of swimming shorts that he was bound to wear all day, before he went into the spacious main living area that was joined to the self-catering kitchen and then, because they had a ground floor suite, they could look out onto the beach with the crystal blue waves lapping up on the golden sands.

"Good afternoon." Sam said sarcastically as her husband walked into the kitchen where his kids were sitting at the breakfast bar whilst Sam made a four healthy bowls of diced melon topped with natural yogurt, a sprinkling of fruit and fibre cereal and then drizzled with honey. They had gone shopping the day before and stocked the kitchen up with food and drinks for the week.

"It's still early." Tom stated. "And besides, we were up until way past midnight so do you blame me?" Tom whispered jokily into Sam's ear before he poured himself a glass of orange juice. "Right, why don't we go and spend the day on the beach?" He suggested. "We can go swimming in the sea, build sandcastles, bury mummy in the sand, fly a kite and play volleyball with a beach ball."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Ella nodded enthusiastically.

"Who said you can bury me in the sand?" Sam questioned.

"Me just now, didn't you hear?" Tom grinned.

With their children getting changed into swimming attire, Sam and Tom were in their bedroom getting ready for the day on the beach where they wouldn't be far from their suite, but they didn't want to have to keep popping back and forth.

"Don't bother taking a bag, I'll take my rucksack." Tom stated.

"Okay, but you'll have to pack the water bottles, sun cream-"

"Towels etc etc. I know what I'm doing." Tom said to his wife who was coming across as patronising.

"Alright, I was only trying to help."

"I know you were. So how about you make it up to me tonight?"

"Sure thing." Sam smiled. "But only, if you tie up the back of my bikini." Sam replied slowly as she held the two strings of her padded white bikini top behind her shoulders with one hand. Tom grinned as he walked around the bed and then took them out of Sam's hand so that she could hold her long hair up, out of the way whilst Tom began to tie a bow.

"Y'know, I only have to pull one string on this to make it come undone. And I would do it if we didn't have the kids with us." Tom smirked.

"Can you do it up in a double knot?" Sam requested.

"Sure."

After two trips to the beach and back to the suite to take their things to the beach, the Kent Family were ready to spend the day there. They had taken a parasol from their suite's patio so that they would have shade from the sun when they wanted some on the beach that was fairly empty because the tourist area of the beach where there were shops and restaurants was not for another couple of hundred meters down the beach.

"Ah ah ah Missy, you're not going in the sea without me or mummy going with you." Tom said sternly as he gently held his daughter, who was in a pink tankini, by the shoulders before she attempted to run towards the clear water where the tide had come in over the recent hours.

"Plus she needs sun cream." Sam added as she rubbed a factor 30 cream on her son's back because he had used factor 50 for the first fortnight and hadn't burnt so Sam felt it was okay to reduce the factor and save the higher one for Ella.

"Come on then, let's put some on you." Tom said as he knelt down on a laid out beach towel and he grabbed the bottle. "If I spray it on you, can you rub it in for me?"

"Mmhmm." She nodded and so five minutes later, both of their children were coated in sun cream to protect them from the sun.

"Right, why don't you two start building sand castles, and then me and daddy will come and help you and we'll have a competition?" Sam suggested as she picked up the buckets, spaces and various plastic toys that their children had bought using their Disney Dollars when they went to Disney's Blizzard Beach. Their kids eagerly grabbed the equipment and declared their area of the huge beach before they began their creations.

"Can you put sun cream on my back please?" Sam requested as she handed Tom the factor 20 bottle before she turned around in her white bikini, with her hair tied up in a tight bun to keep it out of the water, and to prevent stupid tan marks over her shoulders.

"Sure." Tom smiled as he began rubbing it into her shoulders, the back of her arms and then as he moved to her lower back, he sprayed a bit inside of her bikini bottom which, because it was cold, caused her to squeal.

"Tom!" She gasped quietly so that she didn't distract her children.

"What? I wouldn't want your pale little bottom getting burnt would I?" He grinned.

"'Pale little bottom'?" Sam protested. "Says you! The everything from your waist to your thighs is pale because of your shorts. And I mean everything."

"It might be pale, but it certainly isn't 'little'." Tom quipped and Sam couldn't help but laugh quietly before Tom handed her the bottle and she began rubbing sun cream into his smooth, muscular back. They had just finished protecting themselves from the sun's rays when they heard their daughter who had been busy creating her masterpiece.

"Noooooo! It's not fair." She frowned before she began sobbing because she had jut pulled the sandcastle off and all the sand had just collapsed.

"Ella, you can't just cry when something doesn't go your way." Sam said sympathetically as she knelt down and rubbed her daughter on the back. "Besides, the sand here is way too dry, you need sand to be a little bit wet so that it'll stick together, but not too soggy that it'll fall apart." Sam explained. "Come on, grab your stuff and I'll help you build a huge sandcastle." Sam said so Ella picked her bucket and spade up, and then held her mother's hand as they walked over to a flat area of damp sand which was slightly closer to Tom and Daniel.

"Right, sand competition." Tom announced. "Girls Vs Boys, no cheating, and whoever builds the best sand castle wins."

"Hang on, first of all Daniel has already built sandcastles and secondly, we need a time limit because otherwise this could go on for hours." Sam protested.

"Alright fine, I'm starting from scratch." Daniel stated as he kicked down the two perfect sand castles that he had already built.

"How long do you want to do it for?" Tom asked his wife as he glanced at his waterproof, diving watch that Sam had gotten him for christmas because he was forever forgetting to take it off when he went swimming with the kids or having a soak in the bath.

"Um..."

"Five hours!" Ella proclaimed.

"Five hours?!" Tom laughed.

"No, if we say one hour. Then there's enough time for a toilet break or a quick dip if it's needed." Sam stated.

"Alright, yeah. That sounds fair." Tom nodded. "It's 10:15am now, so we'll finish at quarter past eleven. On your marks, get set, go!" Tom said quickly before he began digging in the sand.

"Quick mummy quick!" Ella ordered and Sam smiled before she began helping her daughter.

"Right time's up." Tom announced as he stood up with his arms and legs coated in sand after checking his watch. "Step away from the sand." He ordered but he smirked as he saw Ella desperately try to get sand into her bucket again.

"Come on, we said no cheating." Sam smiled as she hoisted her daughter up onto her feet and then stood back. "Ah, now here's the problem, who's going to be the judge?"

"I am." Tom stated.

"Ha, yeah right! " Sam snorted. "We'll both be the judges, unbiased of course. Now you two go sit in the shade and get a drink from the cool box while me and your dad decide who won." Sam ordered. And once the kids were out of earshot, they began talking.

"You do realise that mine and Daniel's one is much better right?" He said quietly. He was sweaty and feeling rather hot but he was planning on swimming in the sea soon so he'd cool off.

"No it's not. Size isn't everything." Sam protested.

"I beg to differ." Tom grinned.

"Look, your one might be bigger but it's just a mound of sand with one castle on top." Sam stated.

"With a moat around the edge of it filled with water." Tom added.

"Yes, but Ella's one is neater and prettier." Sam stated as she looked at the circle of 12 castles that had a shallow but smooth hole dug out in the middle with a single castle in the middle that had been decorated with a few stones and shells that they could find on the sand.

"I don't want Ella to get upset if we don't pick her but we can't say it's a tie either." Tom stated as he glanced back at their children who were sitting on a towel each under the parasol umbrella in the shade sipping a carton of juice each. "Maybe we could say there're two prizes; one for the biggest and one for the prettiest." Tom suggested.

"No! Daniel's too old, he'll know we just don't want to pick." Sam stated.

"I think we should just say that Ella's is the best, and I'll have a quick word with Daniel and tell him it's just because we don't want Ella to get upset." Tom suggested.

"You think he'll accept that?" Sam queried.

"Yeah, it'll be fine." Tom stated as he went back over to his kids with his wife. "Right, the winner is... Ella." Tom stated and Daniel frowned whilst Ella's face lit up.

"Yay! We did it!" She proclaimed as she ran up to her mother and Sam smiled as she picked her little girl up.

"Yeah, we did, didn't we? Tell you what, seeing as we're both covered in sand, why don't we go and rinse off and cool down in the sea?" Sam suggested and they walked towards the water so that Tom had time to explain the situation to Daniel. Thankfully, he was rather mature about the situation and agreed to play along as long as he could chose what they had for dinner so Tom and Daniel then ran down to the water too where Ella was just letting the wave splash through her toes before it ran back and then repeated itself again and again.

"Last one in smells!" Daniel shouted as he ran into the water until he was out of his depth but Tom followed him so he wasn't in any danger.

"I don't smell." Ella protested innocently.

"Yeah but technically, we've both got our feet in the water and Daddy ran in after Daniel so I'd say that it's Daddy that smells." Sam concluded as she held her daughter's hand and they walked into the sea little bit more.

"Come on mummy." Ella moaned as she tried to pull Sam's hand but Sam was always cautious of her daughter going in the sea because she had only come out of armbands a couple of months ago and Sam was even cautious about Daniel going in the sea when he was a really capable swimmer and he had lessons every week at home at a leisure centre.

"We're not going out too far though." Sam said as she went with her daughter and soon the four of them were in the ocean with the water up to their necks and they were treading water because they couldn't touch the seabed. "Ella, you okay?" Sam asked frequently.

"I'm fine mummy."

"Alright, I'm just checking that you're not getting tired." Sam explained.

"Sam, there's pedalos a bit further down the beach. How about we pack our stuff up, head down there and rent one out for an hour or so?" Tom suggested as he pointed to where the tourist area was where over a hundred people were sitting on the beaches or splashing in the sea - they hadn't gone down there because they wanted some peace and quiet and plenty of space for the kids to play.

"Yeah! Can we?" Daniel asked excitedly as he saw two of the yellow boats out in the ocean down the coast.

"What's a pedalo?" Ella asked confusedly.

"You see those yellow boats down there?" Sam asked and Ella nodded. "Would you like to go on one of those? I think they've got slides on the back of them so me and daddy can pedal and you two can go on the slide."

"Yes please." She nodded.

After a long day, Sam and Tom had put their children to bed again and went to their bedroom.

"We are never getting one of those stupid boats again." Tom complained so so he collapsed onto the bed.

"I don't know what you're on about, my legs are fine." Sam said innocently. "Besides kids had a good time, they really enjoyed it and it was only $15 for 90 minutes which was a good price."

"Yes but Sam my legs feel like they've been yanked off and then glued back on." Tom moaned as he rubbed his calves. He and Sam had pedalled the whole time because Daniel couldn't even turn the pedals let alone poor Ella having a go at it.

"Oh, so you wouldn't be up to anything too strenuous now then." Sam said questioningly.

"Depends what you had in mind."

"Wow, that perked you up." Sam laughed.

"What? Sex makes everything better." Tom stared bluntly.

"Who said I was talking about sex?" Sam asked innocently.

"Oh haha, very funny." Tom said sarcastically. "Didn't we bring any deep heat with us?" Tom asked.

"Um... Yeah I think we did actually. It might be in the first aid stuff." Sam stated as she disappeared out of the bedroom and returned a few minutes later with a small tube that she had brought in case she pulled anything because despite being on holiday, she still kept up her exercise habits, plus the suite they were staying at was part off a complex, and there they had a golf course, tennis courts and a gym that they could use and Sam was going to use it whenever she could.

"Oh thank god!" Tom exclaimed.

"Where do you want it? Just the back of your lower legs?" Sam questioned as she knelt on the double bed besides his legs so that she could rub it in for him.

"Yes please. Then I'll give it ten minutes or so to work it's magic and I'll be ready for that 'strenuous' activity." Tom winked.

Saturday 30th August 2025

After a full 4 weeks in America, the Kent Family returned well tanned and well rested after they had actually slept on most of the 12 hours flight and had only woken to have three nice meals to keep them going, though quantity was something Tom had complained about and by the time he was woken for landing, he was starving.

"And we're back on English soil." Tom announced as he and his family stepped out of the airport and onto the concrete where buses, coaches and taxis were frequent.

"And it's cold." Sam added. "What's the plan then?" She asked her husband.

"Well it's 3pm now, we'll be home by 5 o'clock so I say we get home, have dinner, chuck all our clothes in the washing basket and then have an early night." Tom smirked as he began to pull his and Ella's suitcase towards the bus stop where they would get a bus to the car park that they had left their car at for a whole month.

"Ooh, isn't it nice to know that we're going home to a nice clean home and fully stocked kitchen?" Sam smiled.

"Why? We emptied everything out before we left." Daniel stated confusedly.

"Yeah we did, but we paid uncle Fletch to clean the house, change all of our bed sheets and then go and get the list of shopping that your mum wrote for him so that when we get home, we can just relax and we won't have loads of work to do." Tom explained.

"Was there churros on the list?" Ella asked innocently.

"Nope." Sam replied bluntly.

"What about funnel cake?"

"No because all of that food is really bad for you." Sam stated. "We only let you have it a couple of times because we were on holiday." Sam stated.

"Right, this is our bus stop, and I've just got to give the company a call to let them know we're here." Tom stated as he pulled his phone out.

"I do believe these belong to you." Fletch shouted across the quiet road as Sam and the rest of the family got out of their car after pulling onto their driveway for the first time in a month.

"Shadow! Alex! Panda!" Sam smiled as her dogs ran across the street after Fletch had checked it was clear and let them go and as she crouched down on the floor, they bulldozed her over onto the driveway and licked whatever part of her body they could find, though it was mainly her face.

"And you say I'm just a big kid." Tom retorted and Daniel and Ella began petting the animals too whilst Tom lugged the suitcases out of the boot. "How were they? Any problems?" Tom asked his neighbours and friend.

"No, they were great. Really well behaved." Fletch nodded. "How was Florida?" He asked.

"It was really cool, we got to swim with dolphins and go in the sea and the pool and Dad nearly got us run over because he kept on forgetting which side of the road to drive on." Daniel explained.

"So you had a good time yeah?" Fletch grinned.

"Yeah it was fantastic." Sam nodded as she got up off of the floor with the dogs sitting at her feet.

"Well they certainly didn't forget who you were." Fletch laughed. "Oh and I've got all your shopping, and everything in there is cleaned." He added.

"Thanks. I've got your present somewhere but I think it's in one of the suitcases." Sam stated.

"Yeah she wanted to get you a dirty gift but I had to make sure we could get it through security." Tom joked.

"Why would you get someone a dirty gift? Then they'd have to clean it." Ella said innocently, and it seemed Daniel had been thinking the same thing as he waited for an answer.

"Because Uncle Fletch loves cleaning stuff. He'll even clean your bedrooms for you if you ask nicely." Sam lied and Fletch shook his head at her out of disapproval.

"Really?" Ella asked.

"No, your mummy is just kiddin'." Fletch stated. "Right, I'll leave you to it then."

"Thanks for doing the shopping and thank Evie for us, for looking after the dogs." Sam said gratefully.

"Will do, see you at work on Monday." He grinned as he walked away and Sam huffed at the though of going back to work with just one full day to spend at home before their usual routine started all over again and their kids would come to work with them for the last few days of the summer holidays.

"Mm, I'm having a lie in tomorrow morning." Sam mumbled as she cuddled up with her husband in bed under their duvet.

"You? Pft, you'll be out of bed by 9am." Tom scoffed.

"So? To me, that is a lie in." Sam remarked sleepily.

"Your feet are cold." Tom commented as Sam tried to entwine her legs with his.

"I know, that's why you should cuddle me so I don't get any colder."

"Right, so hugging you, is going to keep your feet warm?" Tom laughed quietly.

"I said cuddling not hugging." Sam murmured and Tom smiled as he tightened his arms around her and let her bury her head in his chest so that he could rest his chin on the top of her head. "We managed a whole month abroad, and Ella only got two bruises."

"Mm, it was good wasn't it? No nosebleeds." Tom stated. "Did she pass any blood?" Tom queried as he knew that his wife was the one who dealt with Ella's toilet habits because she wouldn't go with him in the room but she wouldn't go by herself; she had to have Sam with her.

"Um, I think she had it once or twice in her stools but other than that she was fine."

"Good." Tom nodded.

"Y'know we've still got over £2million in our bank?"

"Yes."

"I think we should do that sort of long holiday again. I mean, you go on holiday for a week and it's not long enough-"

"Hey, no need to convince me. I'm all for another one. But maybe not to Disney Land again, maybe somewhere different."

"Mmhmm." Sam nodded.

"Night night." Tom whispered as he pecked Sam on the forehead.

"Night."

Coming up: Ella has her first Trampolining assessment and Daniel has a swimming assessment on the same day. Will both get their award? And how will they decide who gets to chose where to have dinner?

Thanks for reading, please review :)
