"I guess but ... you might not like some of it." I warned him nervously.

He laid back holding his phone above him and invited me to lay next to him. I laid my head on his shoulder and looked up at the screen with him. He clicked on the first picture and started swiping through them all. It started off nicely with pictures of my animals. 

I sighed sadly. "I hope they're all okay." I said as he continued swiping.

"I'm sorry. I hope they are, too. I hope I can meet them."

I told him all of their names as they passed and told a few silly stories about them, and we laughed.

Then there were a few selfies of me. He smiled and zoomed in on one so he could see me closer as it was from a ways away.

"You are so gorgeous. How did I get so lucky?" He flirted.

Then there was a picture of me with Vince. We were at a bar, and he had his arm around my waist, pulling me close and we both had smiles on our faces.

I barely remembered that night, I had so much to drink I almost passed out sitting at the bar while Vince stood with a group of his friends and a few girls I didn't know. I thought nothing of it, and he offered to drop me off at home because I wasn't feeling well, and he went back to the bar and ended up cheating on me with two different girls there that night. I was told by the bartender the night after who was a family friend and very credible. I told Lucas the story and he looked mad.

"This man never deserved you." He shook his head. "If I ever see him Zeda, I'm going to knock his teeth out."

I was shocked with another violent comment coming from him with how sweet and adorable he was, but then I remembered him fighting off those men on the ship and ... he really could kick some ass. I laughed and kissed his cheek.

He swiped again, and then came the photos of me in different provocative outfits. His eyes grew wide at the first one that appeared. It was me standing in a pool on the stairs with a very revealing gold one piece swimsuit.

"Wow." He bit his lip.

I had my makeup all done up and my hair was wet draping down my curves that were exposed. I was pretty proud of that picture.

He swiped again and zoomed into my chest as a joke and was 'oooh' ing and 'aahhh' ing. Then the next one was me topless laying down on my side in my bed with the blanket covering the rest below my waist. His eyes grew super wide.

"Wow. I've never actually seen a ... nude before. That is what they are called right? A nude photo is just called a nude?"

I laughed and nodded, and he swiped through a few more. One of my full body frontal, one from the back and then unfortunately, there was one of me and Vince kissing. The next was him kissing my neck, and then there was one of us partially naked, but appropriate enough to post online. I was in a lace bra and very short shorts, and he was just in sweatpants, and we were standing in my room with the lights I had displayed all around the walls.

I could see Lucas getting discouraged, and I told him we could stop but he just shook his head and kept swiping.

"How much more is there?" He asked, swiping through more photos of me and my animals.

"Alot." I said nervously.

He smiled and clicked his phone off and turned to lay towards me.

"Okay, maybe we'll do more another day. We should get some sleep. It's very, very late."

He booped my nose with his pointer finger and smiled.

I nodded and felt a yawn coming on. I stretched and he chuckled.

"You are so cute."

I blushed and he wrapped his arm around me pulling me against him and we both sighed deeply, relaxing after all our work.

We fell asleep in each other's arms and slept well into the next day, until almost dinner time.

The next few days went by fairly quickly. Lucas and I were having so much fun as a couple, talking all day, watching movies and cooking together, hanging out with Johnny and Winwin and having a drink every few days. I felt like I really got close to them all over the past few weeks.

Lucas and I made love countless times in so many places while the two other boys were busy or occupied. Almost getting caught once, too. By Johnny, of course.

Lucas was so amazing. He made me feel strong ... proud ... beautiful and powerful. Things I had never felt before. The feeling I got in my chest when he looked into my eyes, or when we kissed it was so unreal and magical.

But after a week of pure bliss, the dreaded but also exciting day came when Johnny announced down the stairs from the deck that we would be arriving at their destination in the morning. Lucas and I were eating a late dinner together in the kitchen and looked at each other. He expressed mostly excitement, but I felt more nervous than anything. I was scared of what might be waiting for us when we arrived. Maybe it would just be nothing. I hoped.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I'm scared. I just have a bad feeling."

He nodded, leaning against the counter and eating from his bowl in just his sweatpants.

"I can't lie, I'm nervous, too." He admitted.

I set my now empty bowl into the sink and started to wash it.

"Whatever happens, I love you. And I have your back." He told me.

I smiled and told him the same thing.

We just went on with the night as normal. We joined Winwin in the living room to watch tv and Johnny joined us awhile later. The boys were really excited. I guess they had to ride all the way back, too. So, I'm sure they were glad to finally be at least halfway there.

Lucas and I talked while we were laying down for bed. We decided that if there was nothing waiting for us at the delivery spot, I would stay in America and get things settled, without Vince. Move into my parents' house because I knew they'd let me come back given the situation, and then Lucas would take his ship back home, and I'd fly to him when he got home, and we would decide where to go from there.

But I still worried that something might be waiting for us.

Lei, Vince, the police, our families. Anything. My mind ran wild, and I barely slept that night. Lucas also seemed to be worried about me seeing Vince again. He was asking questions like if I'd be seeing him when I got my things from his house and how I would react if I did see him. He seemed almost worried I would go back to Vince, which was absurd. The man literally tried to kill me.
