Kol walked out onto the porch to find his wife sitting in a deckchair reading Wuthering Heights again. She was wearing a red bathing suit with a floppy straw hat on her head to protect her from the sun and appeared to be so immersed in the book that she didn't notice him sitting down next to her.

Leaning over to whisper in her ear, he smirked when she jumped and sent her book flying over their heads. "I thought we were going to explore the island today."

"Kol!" Bella exclaimed, glaring at him as she got up to retrieve her book. "How many times have I told you – don't sneak up on me like that! I'm still human for the moment, it is still possible for me to die from a heart attack."

Kol settled back into his own deckchair with a content sigh and a smile on his lips as he stared up at his wife. "True. But," He sung, "You have my blood in your system, therefore in the unlikely event that you did have a heart attack, you would wake up again in a few hours."

They had both agreed, about four days before the wedding that Kol would regularly give Bella his blood, so that if anything happened to her, they knew she would come back.

Bella hummed. "Yes, although there would be the slight problem that there isn't a human for about 5,000 miles so I could end up dying anyway because there's no one to bite."

Kol's smile quickly fell. "You know what? You're right, I don't wanna witness you have a heart attack, maybe it's best if I don't start scaring you again until we're back on the mainland."

Bella gave him her own smirk, having won another debate with her husband. Sitting down in her own deckchair, she barely got through another chapter before Kol plucked the book out of her hands and placed it in his own chair.

"Up, up, up." He ushered her up and into the house, stopping in the kitchen. "Go upstairs, get changed into something suitable for hiking and hurry up."

Bella dug her heels in, stopping him from pushing her into the hallway. "Kol. I am reading Wuth-"

She was cut off by Kol's hand over her mouth. "You have read that book at least over a hundred times, and you will be able to read it thousands more. This is our honeymoon; the whole point of a honeymoon is for the couple to spend time together." Kol chastised. "Now, go upstairs and change."

Bella huffed but did as she was told while Kol started flitting around the kitchen. He got different sandwich fillings out: cucumber, tomato, ham, lettuce, cheese, coleslaw, pickle, egg, tuna, salmon, jam ... and made about twelve different sandwich types before putting them in a picnic basket, on top of a green and blue checkered blanket. When he had finished with the sandwiches, he moved onto extras – different flavour crisps, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, oranges, apples, plums, peaches, biscuits, chocolate, some slices of cake ...

After he had put the food in, he got the champagne he had hidden in the back of the fridge along with two flutes and put them in the basket as well, on top of some bottles of water for the journey. The last thing he put in was a single red rose before he closed the basket just as he heard Bella come down the stairs.

As she came around the corner, Kol saw that she had changed into some denim shorts, a light blue vest top and hiking boots with her hair up in a high ponytail. Unconsciously, Kol licked his lips, his eyes scanning up and down her body, taking in her curves as she leant against the doorway.
