Dare To Love

Chapter 45

As the sun kissed the horizon, the sky was painted with breathtaking hues of orange and pink. It was on the luxurious and captivating beaches of St. Barts that Beth, Peyton, and Kate found themselves, completely distanced from their everyday reality. The island, known for its pristine white sands, clear turquoise waters, and swaying palms, was like something out of a postcard.

Kate, the master planner of the group, had orchestrated this extended bachelor-bachelorette week. A week where they could immerse themselves in the island's upscale lifestyle, while their loved ones had their fun elsewhere. St. Barts, with its elite hotels, trendy boutiques, and top-tier restaurants, offered a myriad of indulgences.

Their day had been a whirlwind of laughter and conversation, echoing over the rhythmic sound of the waves. They'd spent the day reveling in the island's offerings – shopping in chic boutiques, dining at some of the world's best restaurants, and basking under the warm island sun on the soft white beaches. But as twilight blanketed the island, and they retreated to the opulence of their resort suite, a sense of longing began to overshadow Beth's normally enthusiastic spirit.

As they settled into their extravagant suite, Beth couldn't help but voice her astonishment, "I can't believe they paid for us to be here and for themselves as well. I mean, I know you guys won't spill, but what budget did Seth and Decker give you for this, Kate?" Her words, filled with amazement and a hint of curiosity, hung in the air as they began their evening in their island paradise.

"All I was given was one task: to arrange a bachelor-bachelorette getaway that you'd never forget. And that's exactly what I've done. As for the bill, let's just say our generous soon-to-be husbands have taken care of that. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy, Ms. Expecting Twins. That's all you're getting out of me," Kate articulated with a playful wink.

"Well, Kate's done a fantastic job, hasn't she? And our soon-to-be husbands really are generous. Beth, you better relax and enjoy this getaway, especially with those twins on the way. We're here to have a memorable time!"

"Bria chimed in, "Kate's certainly outdone herself, hasn't she? And our husbands-to-be, oh they are generous to a fault. But Beth, remember you're about to marry a renowned fashion designer and an applauded female impersonator performer. They simply adore you. There's nothing those men wouldn't do for you or the twins you're carrying. So, just relax and savor this getaway. We're here to make unforgettable memories!"

"I miss Decker and Seth," she blurted out, her words heavy with longing as they settled into the plush sofas in the room.

Kate, barely missing a beat, shot back with a sarcastic, "What bitch, we're not good enough to keep you entertained?"

Bria, joining in on the teasing, added, "I mean, our men are also away, Beth. We're all in the same boat here."

Beth, ignoring their teasing, retorted sharply, "Yeah, but neither of you is carrying twins and dealing with the sexual appetite of a hormonal pregnant woman! I need my husbands, now."

"Technically, girl, you ain't even hitched yet. So they still your fiances!" Kate retorts with a wink and a sassy grin.

Bria countered, "Please, the moment Beth walks away, men can't help but gawk. And Decker and Seth? They might as well have been her husbands for a while now. Remember that bar incident last month? A guy tried to hit on her, and Seth practically threw him out the door while Decker was ready to rip his head off. Now, if that's not 'husband' behavior, I don't know what is."

Beth, chuckling at her friends' comments, responded, "Well, 'fiancés' or 'husbands', whatever you want to call them as long as everyone knows they are mine; I just know that they're the ones who can handle this sexual energy I've got going on. Pregnancy hormones are no joke, ladies!"
