her as she picked up speed.
    "Then, dear husband, I think my ass is going to be pretty sore by the time I'm finished with you tonight."

    Waking slowly from a dreamless sleep, Nikki felt for Grant next to her in bed, but came up empty. He was gone. Her eyes fluttered open. She had no idea what time it was, but the sun was shining brightly outside begging for her to get up and enjoy the day's festivities. It occurred to her that it had been a long time since she'd awoken and felt so refreshed. It felt damned good.
    "Grant?" she called out to him and waited. He didn't answer, nor did he appear.
    Hmmm.
    Sliding from the bed, she grabbed the white top sheet, wrapped it around her body and then made her way into the main room. "Grant?" a splash sounded in the private grounds so she made her way though the main room and out through the open French doors. Her eyes immediately spotted Grant, naked and swimming laps in the pool, his strokes long and strong.
    As if sensing her standing in the threshold watching him, he stopped swimming at the far end of the pool and came to the surface, treading water. Turning, his eyes found hers and he gave her a smile and a short wave. "Afternoon, honey. Come on in the water's perfect."
    Swim now? She still had to brush her teeth. Get breakfast. Ahhh , what the hell .
    Unwrapping herself from the sheet she draped it over one of the wooden lounge chairs and slowly made her way over to the pool under Grant's watchful eye. She dipped a tentative toe into the water and was pleased at how perfect the temperature was. Cool enough to be refreshing, but warm enough to be comfortable. He was right, it was perfect.
    As she carefully made her way down the steps and into the pool Grant swam over to meet her. As he drew closer the first thing she noticed was how rejuvenated he looked. The worried and weary look that she had been seeing so frequently in his eyes was gone.
    Stepping off of the final step, she found the water came to mid-chest on her. Holding her breath she submerged herself and when she came back up Grant was standing in front of her, less than a foot away.
    "Hey."
    She grinned. "Hey yourself. What time is it? Why didn't you wake me?"
    He closed the distance, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her tightly to him. " 3pm, give or take."
    "Seriously?" She was normally an early riser, how in the hell did she manage to sleep most of the day away?
    "Seriously," he confirmed, kissing her temple. "And I didn't wake you because you were sleeping so peacefully. You could have slept the next three days straight I wouldn't have disturbed you."
    She huffed, grinning. "Like you could sleep in the same bed with me for three days without sex." It wasn't arrogance talking, but a fact. Grant was insatiable when it came to sex.
    He shrugged wiggling his eyebrows at her. "You're my wife now, who says you need to be awake for it."
    Nikki feigned shock as she slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "Scoundrel!"
    He laughed. "And now that we're married, you're stuck with me," he pulled her in for a tight hug, "You know, for better or worse. That whole jive."
    " Mmm -Hmm." She reached up and touched his freshly shaven cheek. He'd easily lost five years from his age in the past twenty-four hours. A part of her wished they could stay in this island paradise forever. Then a realization hit her and she gasped, her eyes widening in horror.
    He frowned, concern filling his eyes as he pulled back to look her in the eye. "What's wrong honey?"
    "I forgot your birthday!" She could feel the heat burning her cheeks. How could she have forgotten? She mentally kicked herself for being such an ass. He had arranged this beautiful wedding getaway in one morning and she couldn't even remember something as simple as a fucking birthday card!
    Fuckfuckfuck .
    "Whoa, wait! Don't worry about it. My gift is in the bedroom. You didn't see the box on the dresser?"
    Huh? "Mr Rivers, you buying yourself a present isn't the same as me
