His chin rested against her neck. “So many thoughts going through your mind, Mrs. Hunt. Care to share any of them?”
    “You seem to be changing before my very eyes. No one has ever called me Mrs. Hunt before,” she said.
    “Get used to the name. I rather like it when I hear it directed at you.”
    “Are you sure you’re not going to regret this?” she asked.
    “This is the happiest I’ve been in a long time. I think this is the best idea, getting away from the real world. It’s just you and me. No one else.”
    They stood and watched the waves of the sea crash against the far rocks. She looked forward to spending some time outside, reading. Tony would still need to attend to some business. She looked forward to taking advantage of the sun.
    “Come on, let’s get everything settled.” He took her hand and led her through the rest of the house. “Do you know how to cook?” he asked.
    “Yes. The one thing I like doing for myself,” she said.
    “Good. Otherwise we’d have to go out to eat. I don’t want to leave all that much.” Tony showed her the kitchen, the sitting room. “We even have a pool through there. An indoor pool so you can swim anytime.”
    Her heart rate picked up speed as he led her upstairs.
    The layout was different. There wasn’t a full upstairs, but rather it was as if the house had been cut in half.
    “This is the games room.” He opened a door, and she saw a pool table with a few other bits and pieces she’d seen in the movies. She recognised the pool table. She’d placed Richard a few times. Not that she was any competition.
    “This is the main bathroom.” It looked like more of a full scale room on its own.
    “And this is the bedroom.” The final door was pushed open.
    She walked inside and gasped. The room looked amazing. A large bed but along one wall was a dressing table and a chest of drawers.
    “You only have one room?” she asked.
    He walked closer until he stood in front of her. She took a step back. He smirked and moved closer as she continued to move backwards. Wanting to be with someone and then knowing you were going to be with him was completely different. She hadn’t been with a man before whereas he’d probably shagged a lot of the female population.
    “This is our honeymoon. I figured you’d want to share a bed. We’re married, and this is our chance to explore it.” He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Don’t worry. We don’t have to do anything tonight. We’ll relax. Eat and talk. I’ll never pressure you to do something you don’t want to do.”
    She felt reassured and smiled. They grabbed their cases and unpacked their clothes. Their conversation was short but nothing uncomfortable.
    The time change meant it was close to nightfall. She put some meats in a sandwich and served it with some fruit. They sat outside allowing the night breeze to drift over them.
    “I’m going to get a shower,” she said.
    Tony took the plate from her. She disappeared inside the bathroom.
     
     

Chapter Nine
     
    While Opal showered, he took the time to get caught up with his business. Unfortunately, the only way he could give her the honeymoon she wanted was by being in contact with his main office at all times. He fired up the laptop and checked through his mails, giving her plenty of time to soak and relax. Making sure they had a one bedroom beach house had taken some working as most of the houses had been taken in the holiday rush. He owned the whole resort but still needed to book in advance. 
    Richard had warned him to tread carefully, reminding him of Opal’s long-time crush. As if he needed warning. Tony had spent most of his time under the thrall of hero worship. When nothing of any importance showed up in his inbox, he closed the email down and unhooked his laptop.
    After a quick glance around to make sure everything was still in order, he made his way up to the bedroom. The bathroom door lay open. Taking a deep breath, he opened the
