I can’t seem to tear my eyes away from the turquoise water outside the tiny window of the airplane — it’s currently carrying the love of my life and I to the Cayman Islands for a week beyond my wildest dreams.
“I can’t believe we’re almost there,” I murmur, squeezing Ethan’s hand. His low chuckle makes me turn to him, and the look of adoration on his face makes me melt, just as it does every time. The love this man shows me knows no bounds.
“Just a few more days until we’re standing on a beach, and you’ll finally be mine.” His voice is a low rumble, full of sexy promise. I shiver slightly, remembering what he said to me before we left Dogwood Cove yesterday, outlining exactly what he wanted to do with me tonight before our friends arrive on Grand Cayman tomorrow. Then we all head over to the smaller island of Cayman Brac to help us celebrate.
“I’ve been yours since the day you revealed your fear of raccoons,” I tease, needing to lighten the tension before I decide it’s time to become a member of the mile high club right here on this teeny tiny plane.
Ethan’s head falls back against the headrest. “Seriously, shorty? Can’t my wedding present from you be a promise to never mention that again?”
I giggle. “Nope, it’s just too much fun to watch you blush.”
His eyes narrow and fill with what I can only describe as pure lust. “I’ll be makingyoublush soon enough. Just remember that.” He leans over, pressing a firm kiss to my lips before settling back in his seat. “How much longer till we land?”
“About twenty minutes. Why?”
“Because I’m mentally calculating how long until I get to see you in that white bikini you packed.”
My face heats, but not with embarrassment.
With anticipation.
The last couple of weeks have been so busy for both of us. Our days have been packed trying to get everything ready at our jobs and at home in preparation for traveling out of the country for a week.
Oceanside Resort has been a wonderful success since the day I reopened the doors, with reservations already full for the next year. Adding Wyatt’s outdoor adventure tourism company to our property made things even more busy, but in the best possible way. Even with the staff I now have, including an amazing office manager, I’m still kept on my toes with all the things it takes to run a beachfront getaway. Our winters are mild enough that I can stay open year-round, which is great financially, but makes it hard to get a break.
Ethan is still the town mayor, which he might try to grumble about, but I think he secretly enjoys. Those responsibilities are only increasing as the town has entered into a partnership with the nearby city of Westport to work on developing the local mountain into a ski resort. In addition to all of that, he and Mila are still managing several rental properties.
By the time we fall into bed each night, we’re both so exhausted lately that we can’t bring ourselves to do much more than tangle up and cuddle to sleep.
Needless to say, I miss him.
