Chapter 1 1

EVELEEN'S POV

The turquoise water looked amazing as it merged with the deeper blue water showing the perfection of the beauty, blue lagoon, clear blue sky and powdery white beach was lying before my eyes. Every sunset was different here showing blue, yellow, pink and orange colors. It was an exotic and beautiful place created by God. Lush green palm trees could be seen, standing tall. It could turn every fret face into a gleeful smile.

I was in a green white floral printed skirt and deep blue blouse. I was standing near the window and staring out with a cheerful smile that couldn't be ignored. Breeze was brushing my long hair away from my shoulders. I heard the creak on the wooden floor. He was behind me. I could sense him. He wanted me to know his presence. His scent filled my nostrils. I could feel him around me. His strong hand crawled on my belly. His touch always tingled my skin, compelling me to close my eyes. It was sending shivers down my body, flashing our ecstasy moments as it engraved behind my closed eyes. Although it had been almost a week to be here in this beautiful extraordinary paradise with him. I always wanted him around me, more of him, giving all mine to him. Each day was making our bond deeper than before. I turned a little. He did not say anything, just stood there, staring at me with his glory amber eyes. His lips twisted in a killer smile. He must be thinking the same. Without any warning, he tugged me closer to claim my lips.

Every morning, I woke up with a huge smile on my face. In the early morning, Duante dug his fingers in his laptop for hours. His adorable smile welcomed me when I opened my misty morning eyes. He had given me his undivided attention, time and more than anything love in this entire week. These were the memories we were creating for our entire life which would always cheer us up.

My thoughts went back to my family. I was genuinely a happy bride. My father's words still sting me. Duante told me that my mother was asking about me when he went to rescue my cousins. I was missing Rose, Mini, Thomas and home. But right now Duante was important. We didn't talk about why we were in Maldives. How many days we'd stay. I shook my head and pushed away the unpleasant gloomy feeling. It was not time to get sad over things. I wasn't sure when Duante would give our bond such an opportunity next. Most importantly, I was glad to be in the ring of his arms. After all, precious happiness matters the most in our life. I didn't miss home that badly. I was thinking, perhaps I had over reacted that day. I was sure about one thing, this paradise would be colorless and boring without Duante as well as my life too.

He rested his chin on my shoulder, tugging me back from my deep thoughts. His hard toned chest was touching the skin of my back.

' He is dangerously handsome. I haven't seen anyone like him and haven't any desire to see someone else. I love my man from the core of my heart. My world revolves around him. I see my life with him. '

" Do you like this place? " he whispered in my ear. His hot breath was brushing my neck. He knew my answer.

I crawled my hands on his muscled skin of arms, " I love this. Thank you. It's truly heaven on earth, especially with you. I never thought such a place could exist in this technical world. '' I said, darting my gaze out. My eyes were wondering to see such beauty.

" Technical world, han? " he huskily said, pulling me closer to him and wrapping his arms around me more securely. He ran his two fingers on my belly. His touch tingled me, making me jump and squeal happily. I hopped away from him.

I giggled hysterically and tried to catch my voice, " No! No! You can't tickle me. " I smiled gleefully, almost making it reverberate.

His face lit up with mischief and an adorable smile, " It's one of my rights, you know. " he smiled and came toward me, showing his moving fingers in the air. His eyes didn't move away for a second from me.

" No, it's teasing." I dodged myself from him. I ran out of this enormous bungalow. I rushed toward a wooden bridge. I could hear my own giggles. I spun on my feet and he was walking behind me. His lips were spread in a huge smile. His shirtless body was slightly tanned. His mountains were gleaming under sunlight. I whirled and ran as I knew he could catch me easily. I crossed the small wooden bridge. My gaze rushed up. The sun was shining brightly in the clear sky. I tried to block the sun with my hand over my eyes. I kicked out my flip flop and ran. Sand was scrubbing beneath my feet.

" You can't run away from me. " He said out loud. I giggled and turned around. He was running behind me. I knew he could run faster than me. He was making it interesting for him or he was teasing me. He covered the distance in a blink. He caught me by my wrist and pulled me behind. I staggered and fell behind on my back on the white sand. I was shaking with my hysterical laughter.

" Please, no tickle." I told him through my laughs.
