Author’s Note: Thanks for the reviews, everyone.

Obviously I could write a very long story about their little vacation but for some reason vacation stories are never well received so I’m only going to concentrate on a few specific events. Some of this is based on an actual cruise ship, some of the stuff I made up. Also, I don’t plan to go into what they do during port calls. That would just take too much time.

As they boarded the ship, Michelle was so giddy she was like a kid on Christmas morning. After going through all the safety briefings, they were shown to their state room. Once everything was quickly put away, Tony and Michelle went out onto the room’s balcony to wave goodbye to everyone on the docks as the ship departed.

“Tony, isn’t this romantic” Michelle said as she began to look around the giant room. “I can’t believe how big it is.”

“Well, I booked us the second largest room on the ship. Only a single state room is bigger but it would have cost over 100,000.”

“I think this one is good enough” she giggled. “That’s way too much to spend.”

“So, what should we do first?” Tony asked as he flipped on the TV and looked at the ship’s information channel.

“Well, I was thinking for today we just need to go exploring, at least until dinner time. Then drinks, dinner, and dancing.”

“Sounds good to me” Tony replied grabbing his sun glasses.

After roaming through the upper decks, they headed over to the massive Promenade and its dozens of shops. Finding one that looked good, Tony and Michelle sat down for lunch.

“This is absolutely incredible” she said continuing to look around as they ate.

“It really is” Tony replied “but without you here, it wouldn’t be enjoyable. Have you seen anything you’d like to do tomorrow?”

“Oh yes” Michelle replied with a huge smile. “After breakfast I want to go rock climbing, soak up some sun, and then in the afternoon you and me are going to spend a long time in one of the cantilevered whirlpools.”

“The ones that hang over the side of the ship?”

“Yep, that’s the ones” Michelle purred.

Tony reached over and caressed his wife’s cheek. “I love you ’Chelle.”

“I love you too, sweetheart.”

They finished lunch and decided to take in a mid-afternoon show before getting ready for dinner.

Upon returning to their room, they showered, Tony put on his tuxedo and Michelle pulled out one of her new formal dresses.

Delicate, spaghetti straps held the bodice of the floor length cream-colored gown. The bodice, which was void of decoration, accented the gown and foot-long train which were decorated with autumn-colored pastel leaves. Michelle left one curl on each side of her face with the rest held up in place by small bows. Her thick full lips were accented by dark red lipstick.

“Wow! ’Chelle you look absolutely amazing in that dress.”

Michelle blushed a bit. “Thanks honey” she replied noticing where his eyes had fallen. “You know my face is about 10 inches higher then where your eyes are.”

“Sorry but I just love looking at my wife’s perfect cleavage.”

Putting her arms around Tony’s neck “When we get back to our room you can do a lot more than look at them” she purred.

“Hmm, I’ll be looking forward to it” he replied kissing Michelle’s full, red lips.

They spent several minutes continuing to flirt and kiss before Michelle wrapped one of her arms around Tony’s and they headed out.

“I’ve got another surprise” Tony said. “We’re going to be sitting at the Captain’s table.”

“How did you manage that?”

“I called in a few favors. It wasn’t hard.”

When they arrived in the giant dining room, Tony and Michelle were escorted over to the table and introduced to the ship’s captain.

“Captain” the maitre D’ said as they reached the table. “Allow me to introduce Tony and Michelle Almeida. This is our Captain, Jakob van Wyck.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you” the man in his late fifties said extending his hand.

“Likewise, Sir” Tony replied shaking his hand.

Van Wyck took Michelle’s hand and kissed it. “Please, sit down” he said helping Michelle to her seat.

“Of course I have to move my own chair” Tony thought to himself with a chuckle. “I’m sure it has nothing to do with how gorgeous Michelle is looking.”

Soon the other two couples who would be sitting at the Captain’s table arrived. One was the CEO of a global computer company and his wife while the other was the president of a European airline and his wife.

All seven sat around making small talk, mostly about their jobs, something Tony and Michelle found to be boring. They had come on this cruise to escape work, not talk about it. However, to be polite they discussed their company and listened to the other guests.

The dinner turned out to be a seven course meal worthy of a five star restaurant. By the time it was over, both Tony and Michelle were stuffed but ready to go dancing.

Taking his wife’s hand, Tony led her onto the dance floor. “I love you ’Chelle” he whispered as he pulled her body tightly into his and looked directly into her eyes.

As Michelle looked back at her husband, he could see that her dark brown, almond shaped eyes were filled with an intense love. “I love you too” she whispered back before resting her head on his shoulder.

As they swayed with the music, Tony just thought to himself that in his arms was the most perfect woman God had ever created and that he was the luckiest man on earth. They danced to the first three songs before Captain van Wyck asked Michelle for the next dance.

Tony stood off to the side until van Wyck handed Michelle back off to him “Thank you Mrs. Almeida” he said kissing her cheek before excusing himself.

The rest of the evening was spent dancing and simply enjoying being close to one another. By the time they returned to their room, Tony and Michelle were tired but not enough to forget what they had agreed to do.

“You’re so beautiful” Tony whispered in her ear before slowly sliding the dress’s straps off of Michelle’s shoulders and unzipping the back.

--

It was several days into the cruise and after breakfast and an hour of roaming the ship; Michelle decided she wanted to try her hand at the boxing/sparing ring.

Tony took a seat and watched the current fighters until Michelle got into the ring. The instructor soon learned she was not fighting an amateur as Michelle quickly knocked her to the mat and pinned her.

“Go baby!” Tony hollered pretending not to know who Michelle was.

Michelle quickly displayed her proficiency in hand to hand combat. The instructor didn’t stand a chance as Michelle quickly won the match.

“Anyone else?” she asked looking at the crowd.

Since no one volunteered, Tony decided he’d give it a go. Climbing into the ring, he strapped on the various pieces of protective gear. “Ready to lose, woman?” he asked.

Knowing this was all in good fun; Michelle replied “to a male chauvinist pig like you, I don’t think so.”

Remembering back to their CTU days when they regularly sparred, Tony came at Michelle with everything he had. However, Michelle hadn’t forgotten either and soon had Tony pinned to the mat.

“Pure luck” he growled.

“Skill, all skill” she retorted.

It didn’t take long for Tony to score a point and pin Michelle. “Told you so” he laughed.

“Now that was truly luck.”

Tony just rolled his eyes and came at Michelle again. Several minutes of fairly intense combat ensued before Michelle had Tony begging for mercy. Finally after pretending to suffer enormous pain, Tony tapped the mat giving the victory to his wife.

“Thank you very much” she said helping Tony off the mat.

“Anytime. It was an honor to get beaten up by a beautiful woman.”

Michelle just smiled and shook her head. “Does anyone else want to try?”

Since no one was willing to fight this curly haired she devil, Michelle took off the protective gear and returned it to the instructor.

“Where did you learn to fight like that?” she asked as Michelle handed the last piece to her.

“I once worked for the United States Counter Terrorist Unit, Los Angeles Division.”

“Well, I’m impressed. I’ve been doing this for five years and you’re the best I’ve seen.”

“Thanks, I try to keep my skills sharp even though I haven’t worked for CTU in over seven years.”

“Well, you still got it. If you wouldn’t mind, do you think you could drop by sometime and show me that one move you used to finally pin that guy at the end.”

“Sure, any specific time?”

“How about day after tomorrow, around 9:00 in the morning?”

“I’ll be here.”

Michelle left the area and found Tony looking out at the ocean. “Hey honey, I didn’t hurt you did I?”

“Nah, just a bruise or two but that’s the price for sparring with you.”

Tony took Michelle’s hand in his and they headed off to find a nice place for lunch. Afterwards it was time for the cantilevered whirlpools Michelle was simply giddy about.

Disappearing into the bathroom for a few minutes, she emerged in her baby blue bikini.

“Wow, amazing, simply amazing” Tony said eyes wide and trying to quickly take in every inch of his wife’s body.

“I thought you’d like this” she purred putting her arms around Tony’s neck.

“It’s amazing how such a modest bikini can be so sexy” he whispered before starting to kiss her shoulder. “Must be the mystery of what is underneath.”

“Well, you can play with what’s underneath later but right now we need to get going.”

When they got to the Solarium, it wasn’t overly crowded and Michelle quickly pulled Tony into one of the whirlpools. They had planned to do this the first full day out but it was so crowded Michelle decided to wait. He wrapped one arm around her as they sat watching the ocean pass by. Michelle rested her head on Tony’s shoulder and he began to twirl a curl. For almost an hour they were alone and able to enjoy the simple pleasure of being with their beloved. They whispered sweet and loving words to one another, adored the feelings of each other’s touches, and the shear delight they felt in being together was intoxicating.

What finally ended this perfect time was another couple getting into the water. After speaking to them for a few minutes and learning they were newlyweds on their honeymoon, Tony and Michelle decided to leave and allow the young couple to enjoy being alone.

“That was so romantic” Michelle said as they walked back to their cabin.

“It was. Did you notice those kids who got in just before we left? Reminds me of our honeymoon in Hawaii.” Tony looked around and check to make sure no one was around before running his hand down Michelle’s back and over backside before giving it a gentle squeeze. She giggled before playfully slapping his arm.

As they walked into their room, “Do you think…” Michelle began and then paused.

“Think what honey?”

“Do you think we’ll always feel that same burning love and desire like those kids?”

Tony smiled before pulling Michelle as tightly into his body as possible and kissing her intensely. Almost immediately she felt his tongue parting her lips and she instantly accepted it into her mouth. Until both felt as if they’d die from lack of oxygen, their lips never separated. It was such a deep, intense, and long lasting kiss that they both were speechless when it was finally over.

“I hope that answers your question” Tony whispered into his wife’s ear.

“I think… I think it did” Michelle managed to get out.

Tony began to nibble on Michelle’s ear. “’Chelle, I’d like to spend the next hour showing you just how intense my love and desire is for you.”

Michelle looked into her husband’s dark eyes and put one hand on his cheek. “I’d love nothing better, my Latin lover.”

--

Several days later and the ship was back at sea after a day long stop in Puerto Rico. Tony wanted to try his hand at the onboard surfing park. Michelle decided just to watch and absorb some sun.

“Ready ’Chelle?”

“Yep, just trying to get one last thing in place” she called from the bathroom.

Emerging a minute later, Tony noticed she had put on a piece of green belly button jewelry that matched her swimsuit.

“Looks cute baby” Tony said giving her a quick kiss. “Makes you look sexy.”

“Thanks” she smiled.

They walked arm in arm toward the pool. After Michelle lay down and got comfortable, Tony headed off to try his hands at surfing. His first attempts didn’t go well and Tony ended up sucking water. However, he was not going to give up so easily, especially with people watching. Soon he had become so engrossed that he was paying attention to nothing else.

As Michelle laid reading and soaking up the Caribbean sun, she was soon joined by a young man in his late teens to early twenties who sat down in the chair next to her. Like most typical males of that age, he instantly looked over her body, especially her very substantial cleavage.

“Hi there” he said to Michelle who just looked over out of the corner of her eyes and pretended not to have heard him.

“I’m Brandon, what’s your name?” he asked.

“Now, should I be nice, should I tease him a bit, or… should I toss him overboard?” Michelle thought to herself.

“Michelle” she replied looking over and getting her first good look at her hopeful suitor.

“Wow, not bad looking at all” she observed. “If I was 20 years younger and single I’d be interested.”

“It’s nice to meet you” he said.

“Likewise” Michelle smiled.

She listened to him talk for a few minutes. He didn’t say anything offensive or impolite and Michelle was not the kind of person to be rude for no reason. She loved to talk to and meet new people, especially when they were nice.

“I was wondering if you would like to go to the concert they’re having tonight in the auditorium?” Brandon asked her.

“I appreciate the offer but I’m going to have to decline.”

Not to take ‘no’ so easily, “Is there a reason why?”

Michelle sat up and looked over at the young man. “Two reasons. One I’m married and the other is I’m old enough to be your mother.”

Brandon was a bit shocked. “There is no way this girl could be anywhere near old enough to be my mom” he thought to himself.

“Oh, well I’m twenty and you don’t look anywhere near old enough to be my mom.”

“That’s one of the nicest thing I’ve been told in a long time but trust me, I am. I also have three children of my own.”

Thinking flattery might be the ticket to success, Brandon didn’t give up. “That’s something else I can’t believe. You look too good to have had kids.”

“Look Brandon, you seem like a nice guy, you really do, but I told you, I’m happily married and way to old for you. Now if you’d like to just have a nice conversation, I don’t mind talking to you. If you’re going to keep trying to pick me up, then I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“Okay, I’m sorry” he replied clearly a bit taken back.

“Don’t worry about it. I wasn’t offended or anything. Just no reason for you to keep asking as my answer would not change” she replied with a big smile.

“Alright, again I am sorry.”

“Apology accepted. Now, do you want to tell me more about playing basketball at Duke?”

Michelle and Brandon sat talking for half an hour or so. She learned more about college basketball then she ever dreamed possible. When Brandon noticed his mother and younger sister on the other side of the water park preparing to leave, he knew it was time to go as well.

“I just wanted to say I enjoyed talking to you, Michelle” he said standing up.

“It was my pleasure” she replied rising to her feet “and please, don’t worry about earlier. It didn’t offend me because you thought I was attractive.”

“Thanks, and if you don’t mind me saying, you are quite beautiful. Your husband is a lucky man.”

About that time Tony came walking up not having heard the conversation.

“Hey honey” he said kissing Michelle on the cheek.

“Brandon, I’d like you to meet my husband, Tony.”

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

Tony shook his hand and Brandon excused himself.

“So who was that?” Tony asked.

Michelle giggled a bit “just some kid who tried to pick me up. He said I look so young he couldn’t believe I was old enough to be his mother and have three children of my own.”

“Well, he’s right. You still have the body of a twenty something year old woman. I could see how someone could mistake you for being a lot younger.”

Tony paused and realized that didn’t come out quite the way he intended. It sounded as if he was calling Michelle old.

“Sorry ’Chelle, I didn’t mean that the way it sounded.”

“I know what you meant. You should know it takes a lot more than that to upset me. Besides, I’ve never been bothered by my age considering the alternative to getting old is to die” she replied with a smile and giggling some more.

“You have such a wonderful sense of humor” Tony said bending down and placing a gentle kiss on her lips. “Ready to go swimming?”

“You bet!” Michelle chirped sounding all giddy.

They headed over to one of the large pools and dove in; swimming around for the next hour and a half. Michelle would often giggle up a storm when Tony would lift her out of the water and onto his shoulders.

As they were preparing to leave, Tony joked to Michelle that she should enter the swimsuit contest that was about to begin.

“Are you serious?” she asked.

“Well, I think you could win.”

“It wouldn’t bother you to see me up there with lots of men ogling me?”

“Men ogle you all the time and unless they get touchy-feely, it doesn’t bother me.”

“Alright honey, I think I will.”

Michelle went bounding over to the line of other women, most of whom were half her age. Since this was in full view of dozens of the guests including children, nothing was going to be obscene or inappropriate. Many of the participants were wearing swimsuits far more conservative than Michelle’s modest bikini although a few were far more revealing.

“This is goofy” she thought. “I’m not going to be able to beat these college girls with their young bodies and silicone enhanced boobs.”

Each contestant walked down the makeshift aisle, held up their number, and spun around several times before walking back. Afterwards, the adults in the audience cast their votes.

“Well, it looks like we have a huge tie” the woman in charge of the content announced “so we’re going to have the top five vote getters walk again and then you’ll all vote a second time.”

When she called out the numbers, Michelle’s heart sank as the first four were all bottle blond college girls with fake breasts. She expected the last one to be as well but to her delight she was the fifth contestant.

The blonds all walked first down the aisle again with Michelle going last. Hearing all the attention she was getting made Michelle feel really good. When the votes were counted, the nearly identical looking college chicks split the votes and allowed Michelle to come in first place.

“Congratulations” the lady said. “What’s your name?”

“Michelle Almeida.”

“Well Michelle, here is your award” she replied holding out a small plaque.

“Thank you very much” Michelle smiled.

“Let’s have a round of applause for our winner!”

All of the spectators erupted in wild applause and whistles for the exotic beauty standing in front of them. Michelle walked down to Tony and he gave her a passionate kiss resulting in more applause.

As they headed back to their cabin, Michelle was so giddy she was literally bouncing up and down.

“I still can’t believe I won. I mean, all those girls with their young, perfect bodies and they picked me” she said as they walked into their room.

Tony stopped and turned to look at his wife. “’Chelle, come here for a second.”

Michelle walked over and stood in front of her husband.

“First of all, those four girls looked alike. Blond hair from a bottle; most of their body created by a plastic surgeon, and an ugly looking tattoo on the small of their back. What is it with women and tattoos there? Anyway, you on the other hand are so unique and all natural.”

Tony put his hands on Michelle’s head. “These beautiful and natural reddish-brown curls.”

He moved his hands lower and unclipped her top allowing it to fall to the floor. “These absolutely perfect breasts, just as firm as the first time I touched them and thanks to the kids, even bigger now. I sure like that.”

Again he moved lower and began to caress her bare stomach before kneeling down and kissing it. “You still have a wonderfully hard body, well toned and perfectly sculpted. And yours is because you take good care of yourself and work out; not thanks to a doctor.”

Michelle closed her eyes as Tony continued. It felt beyond perfect to have her husband’s, her lover’s hands and lips touching and kissing her body. What followed next, as Tony began to remove the rest of her swimsuit, simply defied description. Two hours later they were lying on the bed with Michelle resting her head on Tony’s chest.

Looking down at his wife, Tony could see she had a giant smile on her face as he twirled a curl. Michelle looked up, her eyes meeting Tony’s.

“Honey, that was…” she paused trying to find the words. “That was… incredible doesn’t suffice to say how wonderful that was.”

Tony bent down and kissed the top of Michelle’s head. “You were amazing” he whispered.

Michelle sat up and looked into Tony’s eyes. “Sweetheart, what you did for me I don’t think I can tell you how much it meant. I feel so good right now. You brought out feelings in my body I didn’t know were possible” she purred.

“Well, I have to admit. I did some research a while back and was waiting for the opportunity to try out what I learned. This seemed like the perfect time.”

“I think you earned a PhD in pleasure” she purred some more before kissing Tony soundly.

--

It was only three days left before the ship was scheduled to dock in Miami. Tony and Michelle had done and seen so much during the past eleven days. Michelle had purchased so many souvenirs at every port of call that she had run out of room to store it all. She was going to have to box some of it up and ship it home. But, there was one more thing she just had to do before the ship returned to its home port.

“’Chelle, you almost ready?” Tony called to her.

Michelle emerged from the bathroom wearing an emerald green tight fitting, velvet bodice that twinkled from thousands of sequins and the skirt sparkled from the glitter between the two mesh layers. Tony had suggested this outfit because it made Michelle look so gorgeous and highlight every perfect curve, especially her cleavage.

Tony put his arms around her and kissed Michelle’s cheek. “That’s for luck but you don’t need it. You’re going to blow the competition away.”

Michelle put on a jacket and they headed down to the ship’s ice skating rink. After signing in, she went off with the other contestants while Tony took his seat with the other spectators.

About half an hour later, the event began. The first half dozen skaters did alright, most falling at least once but not doing overly poor. Then came the one thing Tony didn’t want to see; a young, attractive woman who obviously knew what she was doing.

The girl was about five inches taller than Michelle, probably in her late teens, and stunningly gorgeous. When she finished, every spectator was on their feet applauding.

Several more contestants did their routines and then it was Michele’s turn. As she skated out onto the ice, Michelle looked up at Tony. He blew her a kiss and gave her a big smile.

“I can do this. Zuzana was good but I’m better than her” she thought taking a deep breath just before the music began.

As Michelle did her routine, she made sure to stay relaxed. Trying to force the issue with herself and the judges was the quickest way to make a mistake. Michelle went through her well memorized routine of axels, Lutzes, Salchows, spins, and other moves like a professional who had been doing it all her life. When she finished, Michelle was treated to the same thunderous applause as Zuzana had been.

The few remaining contestants did their best but none could come close to Michelle and Zuzana. When the last skater exited the ice, the two women came back out and were greeted by more applause.

The MC of the event joined them on the ice. “In all the years I’ve participated in these events, we’ve never had a show like we did today. Both of these lovely ladies were simply stunning. I wish we didn’t have to declare one to be the winner.”

He turned and looked at the two beautiful women. “Only one tenth of a point separated first from second. Zuzana, your score was 9.8 and Michelle, I’m sorry but yours was only 9.7. Congratulations Zuzana.”

Zuzana squealed with delight and hugged Michelle who offered her congratulations as well. Once the ladies were given their awards and another long round of applause, they exited the ice.

Tony found Michelle talking with Zuzana and her parents. She signaled for him to join them.

“Hey honey” she said as Tony walked up and kissed her on the cheek.

Michelle made introductions and the five stood around talking for a few more minutes.

As they headed back to their cabin, Michelle’s outfit resulted in some wolf whistles which just made her giggle a bit but she never let go of Tony’s arm; making sure everyone knew that she had eyes for her husband and no one else.

“’Chelle, I’m sorry you didn’t win” Tony said as they were putting down their stuff.

“Oh it’s okay. If I had to lose, at least it was to someone as good as Zuzana. She was amazing, especially for a fifteen year old.”

“Fifteen? I would have guessed eighteen to twenty.”

“Yeah, fifteen. I was shocked too. She’s a nice girl though, wants to try for the Olympics some day.”

“I bet she’ll make it” Tony replied just before coming up behind Michelle and wrapping her in his arms. “Now enough about that.”

“Do you always think about sex?” Michelle replied giggling.

“Only when I’m around you.”

“Typical man. Sex on the brain all the time” she giggled some more.

“Hey, it’s not my fault you look so gorgeous all the time. Having a wife as beautiful as you is a major turn on.”

That made Michelle feel warm. Even after being together for so long, every time Tony complimented her it made her heart flutter.

“Well” she said turning around “just so you know, having a handsome, Latin, husband is a major turn on for me too.”

Tony smiled and kissed Michelle intensely. “I love you sweetheart.”

“I love you too” she replied as they sank down onto the bed.

--

As the ship docked in Miami, Tony and Michelle were gathering the last of their things.

“I wish this didn’t have to end” she said looking out the window.

“Me too” Tony replied standing behind her and rubbing her shoulders. “But I’d never trade these memories for anything. We’ll do this again one day.”

“I’ll hold you to that.”

Despite how much stuff Michelle had purchased, they managed to make it off the ship and got a ride to the hotel. Their flight wasn’t until the next morning so it gave them a chance to box up a lot of the items for shipment back to Los Angeles. Afterwards Tony and Michelle just relaxed in their hotel room, ordered room service, and went to bed since they would need to be at the airport very early the next morning.

The flight back to Los Angeles was routine. They watched a movie, talked, and did some reading. After the 777 touched down and taxied to the gate, Tony and Michelle retrieved their luggage and freight and headed for home. Upon arriving at home, Gabriella came out to meet them.

“Mommy! Daddy!” she hollered running up to Michelle who lifted her into her arms.

“Hi there baby” Michelle said kissing Gabriella on the cheek.

“I’m so glad you’re home” the child replied hugging her mom.

Michelle put Gabriella down and walked inside with her leaving Tony to haul in the luggage.

“Welcome home” Maria said to Michelle giving her a hug. “How was it?”

“Oh it was wonderful; better than we imagined. We’ll have to get all the pictures organized and show you.”

Tony came in lugging three suitcases. “I could use a hand here” he mumbled.

“Victor! Could you come help your son?” Maria called to her husband.

Tony’s dad came down the stairs a minute later. After saying hello to Michelle, father and son went back outside to retrieve the rest of the stuff.

Once everything was inside, Tony and Michelle first went to spend time with their three children. Afterwards they unpacked the gifts they had purchased for the children as well as for Tony’s parents. That evening Maria made a fabulous dinner for everyone and then it was time for a slide show.

Michelle had her laptop setup and had separated the pictures she wanted the kids and in-laws to see. There were some that were for only her and Tony. Gabriella just loved the pictures of the ship. She begged her parents to take her on a cruise one day and they promised when she was older they would. The pictures from historical sites at the various ports of call are what Maria and Victor like the best.

As it was late and they had a very early flight in the morning, Tony’s parents bid them goodnight and headed upstairs. Michelle carried the sleeping Gabriella to her room and tucked her in.

“They’re all asleep” she said to Tony upon entering their bedroom. “Even though I had so much fun, it feels good to be home.”

“Yeah it does” he replied. “I don’t think I’d want to be gone any longer than that.”

Michelle walked up to her husband and give him a huge hug and kiss. “That’s just to say thank you for everything.”

“That’s to say you’re welcome” Tony said returning the kiss.

Walking over to the closet, Michelle pulled out one of her nightgowns and quickly changed.

Tony was already lying in bed when Michelle finished getting dressed. “Gorgeous” he said looking over his wife.

Michelle lay down next to her husband and he wrapped her tightly in his arms. “I love you ’Chelle” he whispered nuzzling her ear and kissing her neck.

“I love you too” she replied snuggling up closer.

Tony kissed her cheek before Michelle spooned into his body. “Good night, beautiful.”

She turned her head enough to look into Tony’s eyes. “Good night sweetheart.”
