Chapter Twenty

Esme and I spent every day going on the beach, going through the rainforest beyond the beach, watching movies from the huge selection available and then when night came... I was entirely Esme's. We had two people who came to clean and stock the fridge for human appearances once during each week. We were there for two weeks and everyday was amazing. On the Friday before we were due to leave the next day, Esme called home to ask how everything was going and Edward replied that they were doing fine. Of course, we would believe THAT when we saw it!

On our last night at Isle Esme, we spent most of the night making love and the other part of the night cuddled up together in bed. Naked cuddles were absolutely the best bit.

"You okay?" I asked her, softly. She had been quiet for quite some time.

"I'm fine... Just thinking."

"What about?" I traced gentle patterns on her arm.

"How happy I am mainly." I smiled.

"I'm glad you're happy." Esme propped herself up on one elbow so I could see her face.

"I have two beautiful children. An amazing home. A fantastic life. And I have a perfect husband that wouldn't ever hurt me." I smiled softly, raising my hand to stroke her jaw lightly. The jaw that Charles would so often lay his hands upon time and time again...

"Never. I swear." She rested her head on my chest again where we stayed until it was light enough to call it day.
