After the magic evening,we're plunged into one long dream.
We start our honeymoon on the Vaadhoo Shores in the Maldives.
My idea, seeing as Shepherd came up with the robo-dolphin proposal. I figured I should start pulling my weight in the creative department.
Also, as a bonus, it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen in my life.
The overwater bungalows we’ve booked are perched over perfect turquoise waters. The resort is full service with massages and spa treatments and day trips, and the scenery—it’s not fair.
I can’t believe a place this beautiful exists and I’ve waited this long to see it.
Mostly, though, we make our own way.
The world feels so big on the open sea where it’s nothing but islands.
We spend our first few days exploring white-gold beaches framed with palm trees, swimming whenever we feel the urge in balmy waters that feel like one endless warm hug.
Shepherd brings me a colorful drink as I sit with my feet dangling in the water. The sunset shimmers through every shade of red and gold, and my body feels pleasantly sore and tired.
Five days of being a married woman.
Well, six, I suppose, if you count my wedding day.
I glance down at the gleaming metal around my finger. The band slots perfectly against my engagement ring, my tan skin so warm around it, the pearl and silver shades flickering in lovely contrast.
I swing my legs, enjoying the sea against them.
The sun feels like a hot evening kiss against my shoulders, and Shepherd sits behind me with his huge legs splayed.
He smears cool sunscreen against the back of my neck and I shudder.
“You’ll burn up if you’re not careful,” is all he says when I wiggle in protest.
Predictably, I feel his reaction against my butt.
The man has always been insatiable, but on our honeymoon, it’s been incessant.
I never knew a human being could have so much stamina.
I mean, he’s even giving me a run for my money, andIcan have multiple orgasms.
Still, my body softens as I lean against him, gazing out across the tranquil sea. The island we’re on curves away, outlandishly pale sand set against emerald greenery of trees.
Exquisite.
I’m happier than I’ve ever been with this trip, this husband, thislife.
And I almost have to pinch myself to remember we get to wake up and do it again tomorrow.
Against the fading light, the sea glimmers. Faintly at first, then brighter with every wave.
Vaadhoo beach is famous for its ‘sea of stars,’ a series of bright lights on the ocean. It’s actually bioluminescence created by some special plankton.
It’s one of nature’s biggest miracles.
At night, it’s like diving into starlight.
