Waking the following morning, I find an almost naked Henry snuggled up against my back with his firm, corded forearm draped over my waist, holding my back tight to his front. I lie in the comfort and safety of his arms, listening to his even breathing for a long time, just soaking up the moment and committing it to memory until the need to relieve myself overpowers me, so I gently and unwillingly extricate myself from his hold.

When he eventually rouses thirty minutes later, I’m on the spacious balcony, dressed in a little white sundress I pulled from my still packed luggage while simultaneously tanning my naturally sallow skin and checking emails. After all, it is technically a workday, and as I’ve decided not to mention a word of this impromptu trip to Alex until I get back to the UK, it must appear as business as usual on my end.

He quickly nips that in the bud by kissing me so long and hard that it sets my head spinning, and as I’m busy recovering, he confiscates my phone.

Cheater.

But the kisses are so divine, I don’t really mean it.

“No working whilst on holidays, Peaches. Them’s the rules. For the next few days at the very least, you are wholly, completely, and thoroughly mine.”

Huffing out an affirmative, I try and fail to keep the grin from my face as he leans in to drop another kiss on my always-willing mouth.

“A driver should be here shortly to bring us to the next leg of our trip.”

My mouth drops open. “You mean, we’re not at the wedding venue yet?”

“Nope.” He pops the ‘P’ with a smug grin. “Just a seaplane away.”

My mind is whirling with possibilities, but a seaplane from this location must surely mean…

“The Bahamas?”

He nods effusively, pulling me into his chest and hugging me to his beautifully moulded body. I could stay in his warm embrace forever. However, just as I feel all the tension begin to leave me, we’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Let’s get this utter shitshow on the road, folks!” Nate bellows from beyond before either of us has moved.

Giving my body one final squeeze, Henry opens the door to admit Nate and a bellhop, who proceeds to move our luggage onto a trolley alongside Nate’s before moving on down the corridor toward an elevator.

Following both him and Nate out the door, Henry’s hand firmly holding mine, that’s precisely what we do.
