His Armored Heart

Chapter Fifteen

The next time Bree woke, she could hear birds chirping outside. "I think the storm's over," she mumbled.

Tony groaned softly as he woke. "It is." He muttered, seeing the bright afternoon sun coming in through the window.

"Should we venture outside?"

"We can. The water should now be calm enough for the boats, if you want to go shopping." Tony replied.

"That sounds nice," Bree answered as she finally opened her eyes to see Tony looking down at her. "Were you watching me sleep?"

"Before I fell asleep, yes. I woke up when you did though." Tony said truthfully as he gently swept some of her hair from her face.

"You know, I will always call you a romantic," she chuckled.

"Is watching you sleep romantic?" Tony asked curiously. "I've been called creepy before over it."

"I don't think it's creepy," Bree answered, then leaned up to kiss him.

Tony leaned down to meet her for the kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Should we get dressed and go shopping?" Tony asked, eager to start their first full day.

"We can, yeah. What should I wear?"

"I would say something light and cool, but I can step out and check the temperature, if you'd like." Tony offered.

Bree sat up and stretched her arms above her head. "You can if you'd like. I can clean out dishes."

"I am still going to clean up." Tony assured Bree. He stole a quick kiss, then climbed out of bed and left the room. When he reached the front door and opened it, warm tropical air and bright sunshine greeted him. He stretched and enjoyed the warmth for a moment, before returning to Bree. "It's beautiful out there. Dress for a warm day." "

"Would it be too bold to dress in a bikini top and shorts?" Bree asked.

"Not at all. That's common dress on the mainland." Tony answered.

Bree smiled. "Then that's what I'll do. If you think you can handle it."

"I thought the point was for me to not control myself?" Tony smirked.

"Well, I'm not sure public sex would be the best idea," Bree chuckled, stood, and walked over to their suitcase to find clothes.

"Oh, I didn't realize that was off the table." Tony joked. "I can control myself, and I'll do my best to be good."

Bree rolled her eyes and chuckled as she found her red bikini top and put it on before she put on underwear and a pair of shorts. "I just need to brush my hair and teeth."

"I will clean up after you." Tony replied. He found a pair of underwear and Hawaiian print shorts that he pulled on.

"Did you end up kicking off your shorts while we slept earlier?" She chuckled as she walked into the bathroom.

"I must have at some point. I don't remember it though." Tony admitted.

Bree quickly brushed her teeth and brushed her hair before she braided it so it would be out of the way while being in the heat. Then she walked through the bedroom and into the sitting area and kitchenette to find Tony cleaning up. "Does this look ok?"

Tony looked up and grinned. "You look amazing, darling."

"I really do love it when you call me that," Bree said softly. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind while he finished washing dishes.
