Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in posting this. I've been struggling with motivation of late, but here it is for you now. And, as always, thank you to those who left me a review :) I really do appreciate it. Also, Chelsietx, I sent you a message about something. Could you possibly get back to me, please? I'll be very grateful :)

I would also like to say that there's an M-rated scene in this chapter. So, if you are underage or don't like that sort of thing, then please don't read it. It'll be the part in italics as it's part of the flashback scene. So just skip past that bit.

Many thanks everyone, here's the next chapter for you. Enjoy…


Awaking early a few mornings later, Clarisse lie a moment, simply relishing in the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, a sound that she was very quickly getting accustomed to, especially first thing in the morning, before turning her head to the side to look at her husband, who was still fast asleep on his side beside her. She had never felt so contented, so blissful, as she did right at that moment, and her heart skipped a beat as she watched him sleep with a smile on her lips.

He looked so incredibly handsome and so at peace sleeping there beside her, with one hand down resting on his thigh and his other tucked up under his pillow. And not wanting to disturb him, she carefully climbed from the bed and slipped on her knee length robe over her chemise, quickly tying the sash to keep it closed, before picking up her glass of water from her bedside table and walking out onto the balcony. Where she took a sip of her drink before placing her glass down on the table and taking a seat in one of the balcony chairs, to look out at the beautiful, scenic view surrounding her, while reflecting back over the first few glorious days they had spent together so far there on their honeymoon.

"And here's me thinking that you wanted to make love outside," Joseph said, between trailing kisses down into the crook of her neck before lifting his head to look up into her bright, starry eyes. His hands still cupped her bottom. Holding her to his body.

"I did, and we have, remember outside in the rose garden last week?" She said, a smirk playing on her lips, while turning her face towards the ice bucket, their glasses of champagne and the bowl of delicious strawberries that her husband also brought out for them to enjoy and reached a hand across for one as he watched her intently.

"Yes we did, and what an exhilarating experience it was, but why do we have to stop there? When there's so many other places outside that we can make love," he smirked, watching her take a bite from the strawberry she had picked out from the bowl before looking back at him. "And if I recall, you said, and I quote, that you 'have always wanted to make love outside, on the beach, under the stars, in the rain, anywhere. Just as long as it's outside.' And I'm pretty sure we can experience all of that, and much more, on this trip." He said and smiled as she fed him the other bit of her strawberry. "Thank you," he said, chewing the delicious fruit.

"You're welcome," Clarisse smiled, "but aren't you forgetting one thing?" She asked, a blush creeping over her cheeks at the mere thought of them making love in the jacuzzi as she reached her hand out for her glass and lifted it to her mouth before continuing, "because of you, and how you satisfy me the way you do, I'm not the quietest person," she said and drank almost all of her champagne. In an attempt to calm her nerves. Knowing exactly where this conversation was going to lead them.

A breath hitched in his throat at that, his desire for her growing more and more by the second. Oh, how he wanted her, how the thought of her moaning in pleasure at his hands aroused him even more. "There's nothing wrong with that, you know," he smiled as she placed her glass back down and turned her face to look back at him. "Hearing you moan out in pleasure is actually one of my favourite sounds now."

"Really?" Clarisse gasped in surprise and watched as her husband nodded.

"Yes, really," he smiled and looked into her eyes. "It's super sexy and positive. Tells me that I'm doing a good job."

"Oh you do, you do a sensational job," Clarisse smiled and kissed him a couple of times before looking back into his eyes as he grinned cheekily at her. "But now, let's say we do this, make love in the jacuzzi. What if other people were to hear us? There is a beach right down there," Clarisse said and bit her bottom lip in anticipation while wrapping her arm back around his shoulder, her hand grasping the back of his head.

"It's a private beach. There shouldn't be anyone down there, especially not at this time of night, but so what if there is one or two people and they do hear us? They aren't going to know who it is having the time of their life," he said, and they both laughed. "As long as we don't moan out each others names, we will be fine."

"You're right," Clarisse smiled and pressed her lips to his a brief moment before pulling back and looking into his oh so sexy, desire filled eyes. "At least it'll be much easier on my knees in here than it was in the pavilion and in front of the fireplace."

"Exactly," Joseph laughed and began placing soft kisses across her chest, just above the lining of her bikini top.

"And it is our honeymoon after all," Clarisse said, somewhat sultry, her eyes fluttering closed as he hooked a finger in the top of the material of her bikini top and slowly pulled it down to reveal her now very beautiful, erect nipple.

"Yes it is, we are entitled to make love wherever we so please," he replied softly against her nipple before taking the hardened pebble in his mouth and flicking it with his tongue, causing her to flinch and moan out in pleasure. "Stand up for me." He smiled and lifted his head.

"I'm sorry?" Clarisse asked dazedly as she opened her eyes to look back at him.

"I asked you to stand up for me," he said, a mischievous smile on his lips. "I need to remove my swim shorts," his hands now going to her hips.

"Ah okay," Clarisse blushed and climbed from his lap, to stand in front of him as he lifted up a little of the seat and began to remove his swim shorts.

"Much better," he smiled a moment later, putting his dripping wet shorts on the deck next to their drinks. His gaze never once leaving hers. "Now," he said, leaning forward and placing his hands back on her hips as he pressed his lips to the middle of her stomach, just above the waistline of her bikini bottoms and placed several soft kisses there, the whiskers from his beard tickling her and making her giggle, before looking back up into her gorgeous twinkling eyes as she looked down at him and put a hand out onto the back of his head. "Let's remove yours."

Taking her bottom lip between her teeth, Clarisse's heart raced as she moved her hand onto her husband's shoulder and looked down at him slowly lowering her bikini bottoms down, and helping her step out of them before putting them on top of his swim shorts next to the jacuzzi and turning his attention back to her. "Are you okay?" He asked softly while reaching his hands back out onto her hips. Wanting to make sure she was okay before going any further.

"I'm okay," she nodded.

"Good," he said, half smiling as he sat back and gently pulled her towards him, "now come here, you."

Leaning forward, Clarisse placed her hands on his shoulders and carefully straddled his lap once again. Kissing him deeply as he moved a hand down between them and guided himself into her entrance as she slowly lowered herself down on his erection. "Mmm," she moaned out in pleasure, taking him fully inside of her as she dug her nails into his shoulders and closed her eyes. The feel of him seated deep within her was one of the most beautiful things that she had ever experienced. She absolutely loved that moment when they were joined as one. They both did. And when they made love too, of course. Each and every time.

"Oh god, Clarisse," Joseph whispered, studying her face as she opened her eyes and looked back at him. His hands moving back around to cup her gorgeous bottom in them.

Raising her hands from his shoulders, Clarisse cupped her husband's chin in them as her gaze locked with his a moment, each reflecting what the other was feeling, before leaning in and pressing her lips to his. "I love you," he whispered against her lips before kissing her more deeply. More fiery.

"I love you too," she replied softly against his lips a moment later and snaked her arms around his neck as she began to slowly rock her hips back and forth.

She had to admit, as she sat their blushing over the memory, she wasn't all that keen on them making love in the jacuzzi at first, but she was glad that they did in the end. Because it turned out to be another exhilarating experience that she didn't know she wanted to experience, just like it had been with them making love in front of a raging fire.

"What are you blushing about," Joseph asked as he walked towards her sitting in her chair in just his boxers and watched as she turned her head to him.

"Oh, I'm just thinking about our first night here," she replied and put her hand up to shield her eyes from the brightness of the morning sun as she tipped her head back to look up at him standing now in front of her. "And how much you are already leading me astray when we haven't even been married two weeks yet."

"Oh, I'll happily take the blame," he said huskily as he bent forward, putting his hands on the armrests of her chair and leant in to kiss her a couple of times.

"Good, I'm glad to hear that you're taking full responsibility," she chuckled and studied his face before closing her eyes as he lowered his head to kiss her once again. More deeply this time.

Smiling, Joseph pulled his head back just enough to look into her eyes with a mischievous smirk on his lips. "Now, which part were you thinking about? When we were out in the jacuzzi or back here in the bedroom?" He asked.
