I don't remember falling asleep but got woken up by a loud horn and bright lights. King and I both slowly sat up before there was a knock.

"Sorry boss the ocean boarder patrol is requesting to come on board. Do you want us to get rid of them?" One of his men asked.

King thought a moment before responding. "No if they going missing it will draw too much attention. They can come on board."

The man left and King turned towards me. "You're going to be a good girl right?" He said smirking while buttoning up his pants.

"Yes sir." I said nervously.

"You know what will happen if you don't right. Those men out there have families to go home to and I'm sure you don't want to face be punished again right!"

"No sir." I said looking down.

"Put a gown on and say nothing when we go up there."

I nodded as I did what he ordered.

"Good evening officers. What can we do for you this lovely night?" King said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and stood behind me before resting his head on my shoulder.

"What are you all doing out here?" One asked looking at us thinking we were a loving couple.

"My wife and I are on our honeymoon. Did we drift into an forbidden zone?"

I internally cringed when he called me his wife.

"What about everyone else here?" Another asked.

"Oh they are friends. We decided to make it a big getaway for our closest friends."

"Oh." The third one said.

Oh no they are believing him. I need to get away from him. I felt my chest tighten. My only chance to escape and I can't take it. I felt my eyes starting to sting.

"Why isn't your wife talking?" One asked looking at me.

I felt a sob coming on and I knew King would punish me so I quickly turned to bury my head in his chest.

"She's been through a lot officers. She's afraid of new men."

"Is that true miss?"

I did nothing but nod into Kings chest resulting in him squeezing me. He looked as consoling me but I knew it was a warning.

When I was calm he released me. All of a sudden a call came over one of the officers radios.

"More officers are on the way." One said.

"Is that really needed officers?" King asked calmly.

"We need all passports of everyone on board. It's just to make sure no one has warrants. You understand don't you?" The officer said as all the officers put their hands on their holsters.

"Yes yes of course we have nothing to hide." King said then nodded at one of his men who went downstairs.

A moment later the man came out holding a stack of passports as more boats with more officers arrived. Officers started piling on as others grabbed passports calling them in to check to see if there were any warrants. As they started coming back as no warrants King leaned down and kissed my shoulder.

"It's almost over. You're doing so good baby girl. Keep it up."

That made me more upset. He knew it was my chance and he knew I was afraid of what he would do to me if I tried anything.

"What about little miss' passport?" The head officer asked looking between King and I making us look at him.

"Well we just got married so it hasn't been fixed yet?"
