My eyes flicker open and I look around at my surroundings, where am I... oh the ship. I glance to my right and see Michael fast asleep beside me with his arm draped over my waist. I smile as the memories of yesterday and last night flood back to me in a rush. The fantastic ceremony then the party then the amazing boat followed by the most unforgettable sex ever. I could get used to that... but with how sore I feel I think I'll leave it a few days. Michael stirs and I freeze not wanting to wake him up but instead I'm met by those beautiful chocolate eyes as they gaze sleepily at me. I softly kiss his lips 'good morning' 'morning, wow I feel like I've run a marathon. I'm exhausted' he yawns before rolling over onto his back and running his hand through his glorious mane of un-kept curls. I snuggle up to him and rest my head on his shoulder 'what?' he asks looking down at me, 'nothing I just love you' I smile kissing his cheek tenderly. Michael places his hand on my cheek and presses his lips to my temples 'I love you too Mrs Jackson' I can't help smiling at him, I feel his arm slip underneath me then I'm quickly rolled over so that I'm straddling him.'Hmm, I like this position' Michael smirks dragging his fingers between my breasts, 'and why would that be' I knock his hands out of the way 'well I get to stare at your beautifully perfect body and...' I'm lifted slightly 'I get to be deeper inside you' I gasp as he fills me and when I look at him he looks thoroughly impressed with himself. Michael wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer so I'm almost lying on his chest then he begins to thrust inside of me. So much for waiting a while to recover.It's now seven o'clock in the evening, earlier today we went scuba diving. We were slap bang in the middle of a pod of bottle nosed dolphins which were beautiful, they spent the entire time playing and swimming beside us. We saw lots of other marine life including whales and a few species of shark although I must admit that when I saw them I was terrified and I wouldn't let go of Michael. Then after that we decided to soak up the sun on the beach, it was nice to just sit and relax all day without a care in the world.However we're just about to dock in the harbour since we have arrived in Paris, waiting for us is a taxi so as soon as we dock we hurry off the boat with our suitcases in our hands and climb into the taxi which drives at an alarmingly fast rate to the hotel. Michael climbs out first then like a gentleman he opens the car door for me so that I can climb out as well, he wraps one arm around my back and kisses me sweetly 'that will be ten euros monsieur' the driver announces with his strong French accent, he places our cases next to us on the pavement. 'Merci' Michael grins handing over twenty euros 'keep the change' and before the driver can say a word we enter the hotel.Michael proceeds to the reception desk while I walk around the foyer glancing at all the beautiful art work on the wall, but my attention is diverted to something shining outside. I move to my right and there in front of me is the Eiffel tower all lit up like a Christmas tree, I can see couples walking hand in hand in front of it. Some stop to take photographs while others just look completely lost in thought with each other and just in front of the tower I see a young man on his knee in front of, who I assume, is his girlfriend. I hold my breath as she looks at him confused but by the way she throws her arms around his neck and almost knocks him to the ground by the force of her kiss I'm guessing she said yes and I release my pent up breath. 'It seems like only a few months ago that was you and I' Michael wraps his arms around me and rests his chin on my shoulder, he softly kisses the crook of my neck before I turn to face him 'it was only a few months ago' I place my hands on the side of his face and kiss him deeply but not before I hear the receptionist mutter something in French, more than likely 'get a room' or something along those lines.The two of us walk over to the elevator and once it arrives we dart inside, the doors slide shut. In an instant Michael is on me, he holds my arms above my head and his hips are pinning me to the elevator while he devours my mouth kissing me like he never has before.I hear the bell signalling that the doors are about to open and as they do Michael pulls away from me looking calm and collected while I can barely get my breathing under control. He smirks at me as he takes my hand and leads me down the corridor towards our room, with a swipe of the key card the door unlocks and I make my way into the room. Michael hoists me back and lifts me into his arms 'what are you doing' I laugh holding around his neck as tightly as I can 'carrying you over the threshold' he says in a 'duh' tone 'you're supposed to do that at home' my laughter has yet to subside as he carries me over to the bed and depositing of me there. He straddles me and whispers 'I will be doing it at home but for tonight I'll be doing you, here, across that table, in that chair, in that bathroom and against that wall. Any questions?''Yeah, what if I'm not in the mood for sex?' I raise my eyebrow at him 'bit tough that' he smirks and captures my mouth before I have chance to say another word.Our heavy breathing is the only noise that can be heard. The two of us lie on the bed with me resting on Michael's chest. Both of us sweaty and exhausted from the last few hours of constant sex and just like Michael said we did it on the bed multiple times, both lying on and leaning over the table, in the chair, in the bathroom and against the wall. 'You know if we keep having sex this much you'll wear us both out' I joke tracing my finger along Michael's rib cage 'I know, but it'll be worth it to see you enjoying yourself' Michael kisses my nose and pulls me tighter to him. 'Right, I'm going to run us both a bath and I want you to slip on your bath robe and come into the bathroom in five minutes' Michael mentions climbing out of bed and slipping on his boxer briefs.He makes his way into the bathroom and I slip on my dressing gown just like he said. A few minutes later I wander into the bathroom... oh my gosh. The lights are dimmed and small candles line the side of the bath illuminating it, covering the floor and floating in the water are red and white rose petals and Michael is standing with his dressing gown on holding two champagne flutes. He hands one to me 'Evie, I love you more than anything else in the world. The past two days have been amazing, and not just because it was the first time having sex. I feel as though I'm closer to you now than I was before, I love waking up to you each morning even with make-up down your face and your hair a glorious mess. Everything about you is perfect and I only hope that I'm perfect enough for you' tears cascade down my face at Michael's beautiful words. With gentle care he places his hand on the side of my face and gently rubs his thumb across my cheek catching the tear as it falls and wiping it away.'Now my darling, I'd like you to climb into the bath' he smiles gently pushing the dressing gown off my shoulders until it falls to the floor leaving me naked in front of him. I climb into the bath and in a split second Michael climbs in behind me, wrapping his arms around me and effectively encasing me but even though I can't move I feel completely safe and there's nowhere that I'd rather be than right here in my husband's arms.We remain in the bath for what seems like an eternity just talking and laughing but eventually we climb out of the bath and slip into our dressing gowns, Michael takes my hand and leads me through the suite to the balcony where Michael sits on the swinging chair and pulls me down until I'm sat on his knee. I curl up and snuggle into his chest as he holds one arm around my back with the other resting on my thigh, the two of us watch as fireworks erupt in the night time sky.I feel myself being carried but I don't want to open my eyes, I huddle closer to Michael's chest. He lowers me onto the bed and I curl up into a foetal position until Michael climbs in behind me and I straighten out my legs so that his can slot neatly behind mine. He kisses my hair and whispers something into my ear but I don't hear what it is, I'm just so tired...
