Gabriel stood and watched as we slowly came close to a long floating dock. I left him to go tie off while Monica cut the engine, she joined us a moment later holding our suitcases for us.

"When Gwen arrives, I'm going to drop anchor a bit away from the dock in case any weather moves in as usual. She is going to refuel the boat when she comes, not that you will probably need it, but I will see you guys on Tuesday." I nodded and smiled as she headed below deck.

"Well baby, I'll let you carry the bags, and you can follow me." I said, turning to see he already had the bags grinning. "Perfect, right this way, handsome." I winked.

He followed me down the dock, which led to a wooden path through some plants and small trees. About five minutes of walking later, it opened back up to a long stretch of beach that was a cove of shallow clear water and our vacation home. The land was like a large cresent moon with small tree covered mountains on one side and a cliff on the other that we used to jump from. I continued on the wooden path that followed the tree line to the house.

"Well baby, this is it. I hope you don't get sick of me. This is as private as it gets." I laughed, holding out my arms.

"I would never get sick of my beautiful little Mate." He smiled. "Are we the only ones on this island?" He asked, chuckling, and I nodded.

"It is a clothing optional island." I grinned, and he laughed again, smiling.

I unlocked the door and showed him around. He was very happy about the tall ceilings and doorframes. The main floor had a large kitchen, dining room, and living room, all open floor plan. I showed him our room and let him know there were five guest rooms here, I brought him up to the roof where there were lounge chairs, a fire pit, BBQ, and bar.

"Would you like to go for a swim baby?" I asked, pulling him in for a hug. "The water is beautiful here."

"I would love to."

We headed down, and I slipped on a bathing suit, letting him know Monica was still here, and another boat would be coming by shortly. I put on one of my new ones and got Gabriel to rub sunscreen all over me, I gave him a kiss and grabbed two towels on the way out the door. He held my hand as we walked to the waters edge, and I threw the towels on an old wooden chair. The water lapped against my toes. It was nice and warm, I pulled him in with me.

"Why don't we swim around the island?" He asked, and I looked questioning at him. That was a long swim.. "What don't you think you can?" He taunted, and I laughed, diving under the water, swimming quickly away to pop up twenty feet away.

"I don't want to hurt your pride when I win." I winked and dove back under.

I came up for air and turned onto my back so I could see him. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me to him. I laughed that he caught up so fast. I placed a kiss on his lips, he rolled so I was on his stomach and I sat up as he started swimming. I smiled down at him as he carried me leisurely kicking his legs, his hands held my thighs. We stayed like that until we got to the peak of the island, and I rolled off to dive under. The water hurt my eyes some but I thought I saw something, then I saw them swimming and poked my head up.

"Baby, look, the rays are here!" I pointed in the water and watched him dive down to look. He swam up quick.

"Little Mate, there are sharks there!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to shore, and I laughed.

"It is okay Gabriel, they have never bothered us before." I laughed. "We have masks at the house, I will show you the reef. It is beautiful." I pulled my hand from his and laid on my back floating. "Come on, silly, let's keep swimming. I'll show you around."
