CHANDLER
The next three weeks go by quickly. The day after I told Tanya about the trip, we both sat down with Sophia and asked her if she would be okay with it. Tanya had never been away from her for more than a night before and was worried about her reaction. She was ecstatic about the thought of staying with Aunt Kayla for a whole week. I think Tanya was struggling with the idea more than Sophia. The only problem Sophia had was the fact that she wouldn’t see Tanya on her birthday, but when I told her she could FaceTime us and we would do something with her when we got home, she was alright.
I tried to be supportive and help her through it when I could, but I don’t think I’m really going to be able to get her to relax until we get to the island.
I stayed with them at their cabin this weekend so that we could spend time with Sophia and not have to worry about getting her back to Willow Creek. I had my jet ready and waiting for us at the small airport here. The best thing about being able to afford one is not having to worry about boarding times. We could leave whenever Tanya was ready to go.
We are at Kayla’s now to drop Sophia off, but Tanya won’t let her go.
“Mommy!”
Sophia tries to pull out of Tanya’s arms, but she doesn’t get very far.
“Let Mommy hug you, child. I’m not going to see you for a whole week!”
I snicker from my spot on the couch, and Tanya glares at me. I hold my hands up.
“We don’t have to go.”
Sophia looks at me with a pout.
“But I want to stay with Aunt Kayla.”
“Alright, alright. We’re going. I’m going to miss you so much.”
Tanya grabs Sophia’s face in her hands and kisses her all over her face until Sophia is in a fit of giggles. She finally lets her go, and Sophia walks over to me, her face serious.
“Don’t let Mommy stay. I want to spend the week with Aunt Kayla.”
I snort, and Tanya throws a pillow at me. I dodge it and lean over to kiss Sophia’s head.
“I won’t; I promise. I’m going to miss you, Soph.”
She smiles up at me with her sweet little face and jumps into my arms. I hug her tightly to me and then let her go to go stand by her aunt while I try to get her stubborn mother out the door.
“Come on, babe. We want to get there today.”
She rolls her eyes at me and waves at Sophia the whole way to the car. Steven opens the door for us, and I can see him holding back a smile at her dramatics. We get in the car, and once we are settled and Steven takes off for the airport, Tanya turns to me.
“She wasn’t even a little upset that she’s not going to see me for a week.”
I pick up her hand and kiss the back of it.
“She will miss you, and once we get back, she is going to be so excited to see you.”
“She better.”
“Are you going to be okay with this drive?”
She looks out the window nervously before looking back at me.
“Yeah, it’s a short drive so I can handle it; I’m not sure how I’m going to handle the plane though. I have no memories of ever being on one.”
I nod in understanding. We talked about this over the last few weeks. Whenever we flew before, she never seemed to have any issues and never told me of any, but that was before she was in a horrific accident.
“It will be okay. We won’t be on a crowded plane, and there is plenty that we can do to keep you busy.”
She raises an eyebrow at me and crosses her arms.
“I’m not having sex with you on a plane.”
I burst into laughter.
“I didn’t mean that but let me know if you change your mind. I like that it’s where your mind goes.”
I watch as she blushes and turns to face out the window. The rest of the drive is quiet. I’m nervous about how this trip is going to go. She thinks it’s just for us to get to know each other better and see if we can continue on with a friendly marriage, but I want to make her fall in love with me again. I want to show her that we are meant to be together and that we can have a happy future. I know she’s been having second thoughts about us lately.
I will do anything to prove to her that she can count on me. That I will be the best husband and father that she could want.
We get to the airport and board the jet right away. The flight is going to take around eighteen hours with one stop halfway there for the plane to refuel. Luckily there is a bed at the back of it so that we can try and get some sleep on the way there.
We finally arrive on the island in the early morning hours the next day. We are both too exhausted from the flight to appreciate anything about our destination. We make our way to the Villa that we will be staying in for the week and collapse onto the bed, falling asleep instantly. I just barely remember to set an alarm to wake us up at a decent hour so that we can get over the jet lag.
It feels like I’ve been asleep for just a few minutes when the alarm sounds. I hear a muffled groan from beside me, and when I turn to look at Tanya, she has buried her head under the pillow. I smile and roll over to wrap my arm around her waist. Seeing her lying next to me wakes me up instantly.
I start kissing along any exposed skin that I can reach, and she groans again.
“Time to get up, baby. I want to see that body of yours sunning in a bikini. Or better yet, with nothing on.”
She shoves me away, and I laugh before rolling on top of her.
“Chandler!”
She is awake now and when she opens her eyes, I start kissing my way down her body. We have all day to do whatever we want, and then the rest of the week to do more of the same. I intend to take my time. She moans as I disappear under the blanket, and I love that she is so responsive to me. I kiss my way down her body, starting from her collarbone, between the valley of her breasts, only stopping when I reach her belly button. I nip her skin, causing her to gasp and arch her back up to try and get closer to me. I slide lower down the bed until I’m laying level with her lower half. I grip her hips in my hands and hold her tightly, so she doesn’t move, and slowly lower my face until she can feel my breath washing over her. She squirms under my hands, aching for me to touch her, taste her.
“Chandler. Oh god, please.”
Her breathless voice breaks my resolve, I place a kiss at the top of her slit, right where she will feel it against her clit. She moans, and I can feel her hands reach down and take hold of my head over the blanket. I smile against her before dragging my tongue over her slit and lightly circling her clit with the tip of my tongue, her thighs clench around my head. I don’t have the patience today to tease her, I’m too keyed up already to wait any longer.
I shift so I can hold onto her hips better and double my efforts, I want to make her lose control with how good my mouth feels on her. I want to make her legs shake with how hard I make her come undone. Her moans grow louder and louder and her thighs clench around my head harder. Her hands are gripping the blanket against my head, and I regret not removing it completely so I can watch her come apart.
Her legs start to tremble, and I suction my mouth to her and suck on her clit as I move one hand down from her hip and under her thigh so I can slide one finger inside of her. She gasps loudly and then lets out a long desperate moan as she breaks over the edge of her orgasm.
She’s panting when I climb back up her body.
“I’m nowhere near done with you yet, baby.”
It’s passed noon by the time we venture out of the villa. I booked us one of the beach front villas that comes with our own private section of the beach. While Tanya changes into her bathing suit, I order us some food and drinks to be delivered to us. I have stuff planned for us to do all week except for today. Today is for relaxing by the sea and being together.
Just as I finish getting our lunch ordered, Tanya walks out of the bathroom and my mouth goes dry.
“Damn, baby. You are so sexy.”
She blushes a pretty pink and smiles at me, turning from side to side to show me the midnight blue bikini she has on. The top ties behind her neck, keeping her perfect breasts held high, and the bottoms have a tie at each side of her hips that makes me want to reach over and pull on one of the strings.
“You don’t look so bad yourself.”
I’m in my swim trunks already and nothing else. Her eyes trail down my bare chest and to the growing bulge in my trunks.
“Good thing it’s a private beach.”
I know she means so that no one sees me in this state, but I can’t help but tease her.
I raise my eyebrows. “Does that mean beach sex is on the table?”
Her shocked face makes me laugh.
“Chandler!”
Chuckling, I get up from the chair I’m in and walk over to her, grabbing her hips and pulling her body against mine.
“I’m kidding. I just like seeing your shocked look.”
She wraps her hands around my neck and that look takes over her face, warning me that she is going to say something sassy.
“Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to topless fooling around on the beach.”
I groan and she laughs.
“That is not going to help my situation, baby.”
I slide my hands down her sides and around to squeeze her ass in my hands, grinding her into me. She moans and drops her head back, exposing her neck to me.
“You have such an amazing body. I think regular clothing should be banned while we are here.”
I lean down and kiss along her neck, feeling the vibrations of her moan with my lips.
She’s always been gorgeous, a curvy body to die for and beautiful green eyes, silky dark brown hair. A man’s wet dream. With all the changes she has gone through over the last nine years, she is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
She pulls back some to look at me.
“If you keep doing that, we are never going to leave the villa.”
“Fine by me.”
I lean back into her neck and slide one hand up into her hair, gripping it at the base of her neck and gently tilting her head back. Starting behind her ear, I lick and nip my way down her neck to the top of her breasts that are pushed up against my chest and bite down on the swell of one of them.
“Hey!”
She jerks back and shoves my chest. I smile at her and pull back so we can head out to the beach. Our lunch should be arriving soon, and I don’t want to leave it out in the sun for too long.
“Come on, beautiful. Lunch should be arriving, and I need to feed you.”
We spend the whole day sunning on the beach. The only time we go inside is when one of us needs to use the bathroom or grab more sunscreen. Tanya starts to get a nice golden glow to her, and I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of her.
The sun is starting to set, and we both decide that it’s time to head inside. I had groceries delivered while we were out, and as Tanya goes to take a shower, I look to see what we can make for dinner.
“Any suggestions for dinner?”
I raise my voice loud enough for her to hear over the sound of the shower and wait for her reply.
“Something light after so much time in the sun! We’ll get sick from it!”
I love that even without Sophia here she’s still in mom mode. Turning back to the cabinets, I find the ingredients to make pasta. I have everything cooking on the stove when Tanya comes out, and she looks just as good in her short pajama shorts and tank top.
“Mind watching this while I take my turn?”
She waves her hand toward the bathroom, and as we pass by each other, I reach out and kiss her. Giving her a preview of what’s to come later. When I pull back, she gives me a goofy smile, and I fall harder for her.
I take a quick shower, wanting to get back to my girl and settle my grumbling stomach. When I walk back into the kitchen, Tanya is standing by the sink with her hand over her mouth, looking absolutely green.
“Hey, you okay?”
I rush to her side and place my hand on her back, rubbing small circles. She takes a moment and then stands straight and turns to me.
“I’m fine. I just had a wave of nausea and thought I was going to be sick.”
I guide her to a chair at the table and squat in front of her.
“You look a little green; why don’t you lay down and I’ll bring you some water?”
She nods and shakily gets up to go to the bedroom. I get her a glass of water, and when I get to the room, she is laying on the bed already.
“We probably spent too much time in the sun. You lay in here, and I’ll turn the air down and maybe the cold will help you feel better.”
She sits up to take the glass of water from me, sipping it slowly.
“I’m okay; it’s already passed. You’re probably right and it was just the sun.”
I eye her to make sure she’s telling me the truth, and when she gets settled into the bed, I go back to the kitchen to finish dinner.
I hope that she’s not sick for the rest of the week. I want to make this trip a memorable one for her, and I would hate for her to be sick on her birthday.
I wake up early the next morning. It’s the first birthday that I’ve been able to celebrate with Tanya in nine years; I want to make sure it’s the best one yet. I sneak out of bed, making sure not to wake her and stare at her bare back as I get dressed. I’m tempted to crawl back in bed and wake her up, but I have phone calls to make before we can start the day.
I have the entire day planned, I’m taking her snorkeling at the Banana Reef where we can see beautiful coral reefs and all kinds of fish. We are going to go back to where we first landed in North Malé Atoll to do some sightseeing and visit the shops. Then, I’m taking her out to the nicest restaurant we can find and buying her a nice dinner, before we come back here and spend the night devouring each other.
I can tell that even while being on this beautiful island surrounded by blue waters and white sands, she is still holding back. I don’t blame her, everything has been moving rather fast since that first day, but I don’t want her to doubt anything about me, about us. She is meant to be with me, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life proving that to her.
I finish making phone calls to set up times for us to be at all of our destinations and making sure we have a way to get to each of them before quietly going back into the room to wake up my sleeping beauty. She’s still sleeping peacefully but has now turned on to her back, her breasts on full display for my eyes.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, I place my hands on either side of her torso and lean down to whisper in her ear.
“Time to get up, birthday girl. I have a big day planned for you.”
She opens her beautiful green eyes and blinks up at me sleepily. She smiles, and I want to cancel all the plans I just made and stay in bed with her all day, worshipping her body.
But I don’t.
“Come on, let’s go celebrate your birthday together.”
I’m going to make this the best birthday for her. I can’t wait to see her reactions to everything.
