Is this destiny?

~ French Polynesia, Bora Bora ~

It's a warm morning in French Polynesia. Sophia is relaxing in the infinity swimming pool while her elbows are resting at the edge. She is enjoying tropical breeze and the view of white sandy beach, turquoise water, and lush emerald green hillsides of Mount Otemanu towering above. Ah, the whole place is a paradise.

The main island is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. The villa they rented is on one of the land masses surrounding the main island. Between their villa and main island is a shallow, clear water of the lagoon and to travel around they are using a boat.

This is fourth day of their honeymoon vacation, and so far, they went on a car tour of the island. Other than that, they stayed in the villa. If it's up to Sophia, they would not go anywhere. Villa is luxurious and well equipped; staff is friendly and out of the way while making sure everything clean and tidy; they even have a personal chef who is preparing meals for them. However, Felix was saying that it's a pity to only stay inside. So, they compromised: one day they stay in the villa and every other day they will do something.

Today is snorkeling. Sophia must admit that she is excited. The brochure says that they will get to see stingrays and feed the sharks!

Sophia remembers when they arrived, the bed was covered in white orchids and they had strawberries and non-alcoholic champagne waiting for them on the bedside table.

"Mrs. Martin, your drink is ready.", husky voice laced with French accent came from above pulling her out of her thoughts.

Sophia looked up at the man who was blinding her with his smile. "Thank you, Mr. Martin."

She accepted red beverage garnished with a slice of pineapple and a small orange cocktail umbrella. Sophia did her best not to ogle at Felix's muscular body barely covered only with swimming trunks!

"Can you hold onto this for me?", Felix handed her an almost identical beverage to the one she was already holding.

As soon as she took it, he jumped into the pool. Sophia squinted waiting for the splash that will spoil the drinks in her hand, but there was none. If not for a subtle 'swoosh' sound, she would think that he is just hovering above water.

"Show off", she mumbled.

Sophia felt his arms trace her waist and go up while his lips started from lower back and followed her spine all the way to her neck.

"Mr. Martin… you will make me spill the drinks.", she giggled.

"Hmm… now that might be a problem."

He was behind her, but she knew that he was smiling as he undid the strings of her bikini.

Feeling that her top is slipping away from her body, she glanced toward the villa. "Staff left?"

"Mhm…", he confirmed. "We have few hours before chef comes to make more food."

Sophia tried to reach the edge where she can leave the drinks, but she was not able to reach, and he held her so that she can't move. She enjoyed feeling of his firm chest on her back, but she had drinks in her hands. And somehow, it didn't seem that he wants her to keep them away.

"Felix, dear… hubby… I can't reach to keep the drinks…"

He chuckled. "Then you will need to hold onto them."

Sophia realized something and she squirmed a bit while turning to face him. "Are you still stuck on the thing with us being equal?"

Her arms were half-up and beverages were in line with her head.

Now that Sophia turned around, Felix had a full access to her exposed breasts. He cupped them.

"No. I'm stuck on the thing that we are not equal." He lowered his head and sucked her nipple in his mouth.

Sophia felt his tongue teasing her. As electric jolts through her body intensified, it was increasingly difficult to hold onto those drinks without spilling them. "How many times I need to say… it was a mistake to say that…"

"I didn't feel any sincerity from you." He mumbled while his lips moved to her right breast.

…

Sophia is wrapped in a bathrobe, watching the staff clean the pool. They were putting some chemicals in the water which will neutralize any bacteria and restore Ph.

Felix came from behind, embraced her and kissed her neck.

She turned to face him. "You know… if you just helped me keep the drinks on the side, they would not need to clean the pool. Now we can't use it for next 24 hours."

He smiled mischievously. "You had no complaints while we were down there."

She was about to say something when he placed his index finger over her lips.

"We don't need the pool. We are going snorkeling later. And tomorrow we are going to Tahiti."

"Oh?" She was not aware that they will go to Tahiti.

Felix lifted Sophia up and carried her to the bed. "By the time we are back, pool will be ready."

"Tahiti?" She was hoping he will say more.

But he didn't want to say more. He only nodded in confirmation.

Felix checked Bora-Bora and thought that two weeks there could be a bit boring, considering that Sophia can't do any activity that might be dangerous for her pregnancy. So, he booked four nights in a hotel in Tahiti. It's close by, and it's a much bigger island with more things to do.

Sophia knows that he wants to keep them active, but she enjoys lazing around… with him.

As if he can read her thoughts, he said: "One day we will look at the photos from our honeymoon, and it will be nice to see more than just this villa."

She had to agree with him. But then she realized that she didn't take any photos!

Sophia got her phone and snapped few photos of them and the villa and sent them to JoAnna and Sarah.

Felix and Sophia cuddled in the bed for a while before taking a small boat to the part of the lagoon where they can snorkel.

First part of their snorkel-experience allowed them to enjoy colorful coral reefs with a variety of tropical fish. Sophia was surprised that fish was not afraid of them. The numerous butterflyfish were so persistent to get close to her hands, that Sophia was afraid she will end up hurting them as she moved her arms around. Later Sophia realized that it must be because locals sell food for fish, and tourists feed them.

Felix was right next to her, making sure that she is not uncomfortable. He reminded her few times to tell him if she is tired. They can go back anytime.

Second part of their snorkel-experience was a bit further away. The bottom was covered in white sand, the same as the one on the beach and numerous manta rays were moving just above sand. There were several blacktip reef sharks nearby, but they were not interested in humans, unless they had food to give. It seems that even sharks are used to being fed by tourists.

When Sophia and Felix returned to the villa, they freshened up, had dinner and Sophia slept off within a minute. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, she was getting tired easily.

While she slept, Felix double-checked activities he got planned for Tahiti, to make sure they are not too tiring for Sophia.
