Hey everyone, as always I want to thank everyone for reading this story, but would like to do a special shout out to the guest and Bee-327 for taking the time to leave me a lovely review. I really appreciate it and honestly can't thank you enough. Please do keep them coming.

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. Thank you :)

Here's the next chapter for you, enjoy…


"Well now I'm thinking about them both," Clarisse laughed and shook her head a little, blushing more than ever.

"I can't believe that we made love out in the jacuzzi, first it was out in my rose garden last week and now tonight it was out in the jacuzzi," Clarisse said, uncharacteristically rambling from where she lie in the four poster bed later that night, with the bedsheet pulled up covering the bottom half of her body and her hands resting together on her stomach, still feeling somewhat surprised over her behaviour.

"Gone are the days of you being nervous," Joseph laughed from the bathroom as he finished drying himself after his shower. The both of them now remembering just how nervous she had been on their wedding day and the few days after.

"I know, but who would have thought that I would behave this way once we were married." She said and shook her head a little. "Because I certainly never did."

"I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that you would ever behave this way after we married either, but like you said last week this side to you has always been in there, just locked away until the right man, someone who knows just how to satisfy you, came along to set you free. But I am sure glad that I got to be the one to set you free because I'm loving you this way," Joseph said, slipping on a pair of boxers. "Not that I didn't love you before, of course."

"I'm glad that it was you who set me free, too," Clarisse smiled happily from the bed. "And I knew what you meant. It's all so new and oh so very exciting."

"Yes it is," Joseph said, smiling to himself. "My love, did I leave my t-shirt on the bed?"

Looking down at herself wearing said t-shirt, Clarisse couldn't help but chuckle. "The dark blue one?"

"Yes, that's the one," Joseph replied, turning his head towards the bathroom door, wondering why she was chuckling.

"Yes, it's here," she smiled and bit her bottom lip in anticipation. Because any minute now he was going to come into the bedroom and find her wearing the t-shirt that he had put out for himself to wear.

"Okay, thank you," Joseph said and came back into the bedroom, flicking the bathroom light off as he walked through the doorway and over to her lying in bed. "Well, what can I say to that?" He smirked upon seeing her wearing his top. "I will say though, it certainly looks better on you than it does me."

"I have to disagree with that," Clarisse laughed, absentmindedly twisting her wedding ring around on her finger.

"Oh it does," Joseph smiled, admiring the beautiful curve of her breasts seated delicately in his t-shirt, "and it just goes to show that with the right man beside you just how much it changes a woman," he said as he pulled back the bedsheets. "Because you would never have done that before we got married."

"Yes it does, it certainly makes me feel braver and a lot more confident too with you right there beside me," Clarisse smiled, watching him climb into bed and rest on his elbow beside her.

"Good, that's good," he smiled and put his hand up, brushing her hair back behind her ear before cupping her cheek and smoothing his thumb over her delicious lips. "Because I'll be forever by your side."

"You always have, and I know you always will," she smiled up at him.

"Always, my love," he smiled and lowered his head to kiss her a couple of times.

"I'm sorry I'm wearing your top, I know you put it out to wear to bed but I saw it there and couldn't help myself," Clarisse said softly as her husband raised his head a little and gazed down into her eyes.

"Don't apologise, I'm happy for you to wear it, or any other t-shirt of mine for that matter," he smiled contentedly and moved his hand down from her cheek to rest on her hands resting together on her stomach. "I may never look at them the same way again once you have worn them, but please feel free to wear whatever you like."

"Why won't you be able to look at them in the same way once I've worn them?" She laughed and tilted her head on the pillow slightly. Looking up at her husband in amusement.

"Well because I'll be wearing something that you, my very gorgeous wife, have worn. All I'll be able to think about is you, and your sexy body, wearing it," he said, a mischievous smirk on his lips.

"Ahh I see," Clarisse laughed and averted her gaze away a moment. "I better only wear things then that you will only wear to lounge around in. Something that isn't going to distract you, in say, an important meeting. Or gathering." She smirked cheekily as she averted her gaze back to him. "Wouldn't want to get you all hot and bothered, would we?"

"You my love, are a tease," he laughed and shook his head as he leant down to kiss her once again. Passionately. While reaching his hand up onto the side of her neck, his thumb caressing her jaw.

"You wouldn't want me any other way," she whispered against his lips before watching him raise his head ever so slightly to gaze down into her gorgeous eyes. "Would you?"

"Hell no, I wouldn't," he laughed and kissed her again before rolling onto his back on the bed beside her and bent his arm up on the pillow, tucking his hand under his head. "So I wanted to ask, how would you feel about adding a jacuzzi to our 'to get list' for our future home?"

"Oh, there's no doubt about it it's definitely going on the list," she said and turned her head to look at her husband lying beside her as they both laughed.

"Thought you would agree if tonight was anything to go by," Joseph smiled and turned his head to look at her, to find her smiling at him. The both of them still trying to grasp the fact that they had made love out in the jacuzzi earlier that night.

"And I would like to add something else to that list too, if I may," she said, sitting up with a smile before lifting the bedsheet, and placing a hand down on the bed next to his side she slowly slid her leg over his body until she was straddling him and arched her back as she leant forward, placing her other hand down on the bed the other side of him. Her lace covered centre moving deliciously against his confined manhood. Arousing them both more.

"Oh you would?" He asked, a playful smirk on his lips as he put his hands up onto her sides. "And what might that be?"

"A four poster bed," she smiled and moved up to kiss him slowly a moment before slowly sitting up. Her hands moving to rest flat on his torso. His hands going to rest on her thighs. "I would love one for our bedroom. A nice sturdy, King size one. So we have plenty of room to move about," she said, her voice low and delicious, and licked her lips as she began to naughtily circle her hips slowly over him. Causing him to not only inhale deeply at her actions but for his manhood to harden further more beneath her.

"Oh, now you're talking," Joseph smirked and nodded, "and yes, that can most definitely be added to the list," he smiled and watched as she slowly lifted his t-shirt up from her body, slowly revealing her beautiful swells and hardened peaks before removing it completely and tossing it to one side. "God, you are gorgeous. My brave Queen, and yes, I know that you're not Queen anymore, but you will always be my Queen. My love."

"Joseph," Clarisse said, a mischievous smirk on her lips as she placed her hands back down on his torso and smoothed them round to rest on his sides.

"Yes?" He said, unable to take his eyes off her.

"Stop rambling," she laughed, lowering her hands to rest back on the bed, either side of him, and lowered herself to rest back down on his body. The soft swells of her breasts and hardened nipples pressing oh so deliciously on his firm chest, "and kiss me."

"With pleasure," he smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her as she slowly moved her arms up, resting them on the pillow above his shoulders, her hands moving together to rest on the top of his head.

"Mmm, you feel so damn good under me," she smiled against his lips and pulled her head back just slightly. Just enough to gaze into his eyes.

"And you feel damn good on top of me," he said and reached up to kiss her, his arms tightening around her body, "but not this time I'm afraid. It's my turn."

She was about to ask him what he meant when he suddenly rolled them over, so he was now on top, taking her by surprise. "Oh, now I understand," she laughed beneath him and moved her hands to rest on his shoulders.

"You had your turn in the jacuzzi, so it's only fair that I have this turn," Joseph smiled seductively and pushed himself up, so he was kneeling on the bed between her thighs and gazed down at her, the most gorgeous woman in the world. Her gaze so full of love, trust. Something he knew had been there for as long as he could remember.

"Oh you are right, of course," she smiled and put a hand up to rest on the top of her head resting on the pillow. Her fingers lost in her hair as she looked up at him. "It is only fair that you have a turn too," she said and bit her bottom lip.

The idea of him taking control this time caused her tummy to flutter. Because as much as she loved being on top and in control, she had to admit that she loved it when he was in control, too. Pressing her oh so wonderfully into the mattress, drawing them closer and closer to climax with each delicious thrust. Making her moan and scream out his name in pleasure. All still so new to her, but all so wonderful too.

"Good, I am glad that you agree," he smiled, his gaze remaining on her, watching her intently as she averted her gaze down his body, to watch as he began to slowly lower his boxers down and freeing his erection. "Like what you see?" He laughed as her eyes widened. A breath hitching in her throat at the sight before her. Something she wasn't quite yet used to. Seeing someone so turned on.

"Oh yes, I do," she smiled, her whole body flushed. "Very much so."

Smiling, Joseph quickly discarded his boxers and leant forward to remove her panties before lowering himself gently back down on top of her body, pressing her deliciously into the mattress. "And now it's my turn to say, you feel fucking amazing under me," he said and she laughed while snaking her arms around his neck.

"And you, my love, feel fucking amazing on top of me," she said between kisses. A hand going to grasp the back of his head before looking up into his eyes. "Now, make love to me."

"You don't have to ask me twice," he smiled and kissed her once more before raising himself slightly and slipping a hand down between them, he positioned his erection at her entrance and slowly slid into her as she gasped and closed her eyes at the sensation and feel of him inside her, filling her completely. They paused in the blissful moment of union as Clarisse's hand gripped the back of his head. Her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. Holding him to her. Never wanting to let go.

Resting an elbow on the bed beside Clarisse's shoulder, he ran his hand lovingly through her hair and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Waiting a moment before lifting his head to look into her sparkling blue eyes. "Are you ready?"

"Oh, I am," she whispered and bit her bottom lip, her eyes fluttering closed, as he began to slowly pull out before thrusting back inside of her. Starting with a slow, steady pace, followed by quick, hard thrusts. Something he quickly realised that she enjoyed more of now, the quick, hard thrusts, compared to when they first slept together on their wedding night last week.

"Thank you for that," Clarisse smiled up at her husband.

"Oh, you're welcome," he laughed. "Now, I should thank you for reminding me of how damn gorgeous you looked wearing my t-shirt."

"You're welcome," she laughed. "Maybe I should wear them more often."

"Oh I would love it if you did," he smiled mischievously, studying her face a moment before leaning in closer to her as she reached her hands up, cupping his chin in them. "Anyway, good morning," he whispered against her lips and kissed her again. More slowly that time.

"Yes, good morning," Clarisse smiled a moment later and bit her lip as he stood back up and moved the other balcony chair next to hers. "How did you sleep?"She asked and crossed her legs.

"Like a log," he smiled, sitting down in the chair and turned his head to look at her. "You?"

"Same," she nodded with a smile as he reached across for her hand and lifted it to his mouth, to kiss the back of it.

"I think we may have over done it since we arrived, what with all that activity and the heat," Joseph smiled as he watched her twist the top part of her body to him, to rest her arms folded together on the armrests between them. His hand still holding onto hers.

"Me too," Clarisse nodded and smiled while briefly looking down at their entwined hands, "maybe we should take it easy today."

"As hard as it is for me to keep my hands of you, I agree. We should try to at least take it easy today," he nodded and looked out at the beautiful view a moment before looking back at her, "so, what would you like to do?"

"I don't know," Clarisse smiled as she let go of his hand and bent her arm up, tucking her hand under her chin. "You still haven't told me what there is to do here."

"Well for today, we could maybe go out for a spot of lunch and do a bit of shopping afterwards. Or, I can give Vee a call to see if they are free for dinner, and then go to the bar after." He said, watching as she narrowed her eyes for the briefest of moments at the mention of them going to the bar.

"Actually," Clarisse said as she slumped back in her chair and looked out at the view. "I think I just want to rest and relax here today. Would that be okay?"

"Of course, we can do anything you like," Joseph said as he watched her. Wondering if she would, in fact, be okay with them going to the bar after all.

"Maybe we can make it further than the back patio since we arrived and relax by the pool with a nice cold drink," she smiled and turned her head to her husband sitting beside her.

"Oh yes, that sounds wonderful," Joseph smiled in agreement, "get a bit of a tan."

"Yes," Clarisse laughed, watching as he sat up in his chair and turned to her. "What's the matter?" She asked.

"Well I'm in shock, I just realised that you turned down a shopping trip for the first time ever." He said and they both laughed.

"I know, I don't know what's wrong with me," Clarisse smiled as she put her hand up to briefly cup his face. "We will go to lunch and shopping one of the days though, but just not today."

"Okay," he smiled and nodded as she looked back out at the view a moment. "Maybe we could take a sunset walk along the beach this evening."

"I would love that, yes," Clarisse smiled as she turned her head to look back at him. "Still give Vee a call today though, see if tomorrow will be a good day for us to go over for dinner."

"Okay, I will," Joseph smiled and took a deep, contented breath while sitting back in his chair. To admire the view for a long moment. "I'll do that after I have made us some breakfast."

"There's no rush," Clarisse smiled as she reached her hand out and placed it on top of his hand resting on the armrest between them. "It's not like we are in a hurry to be somewhere."

"Touché," he smiled and they both laughed.
