Rose

I toss my suitcase into the trunk.

"Should we go? I'm scared we'll come back and everything will be ruined. I know Ethan can't handle this and Lucas is a bit of an airhead." I say, opening the passenger side door.

"Lucas is fine, and Will even flew out from the U.S. so we could getaway." Ryder sits down beside me, turning the car on.

"Adam's only 2."

"Yeah, but you know he's in good hands. My mother practically raised half my gang and look how they turned out."

Fuck.

I grip the handle to run and save my baby, but Ryder's hand on my knee stops me.

"Rose relax. I know you've been pretty busy nowadays with the baby and the group but, we both need time to ourselves. We have to have our honeymoon, it's already been 2 years since the wedding." He whines.

I put my hand back in my lap.

"Yeah but-"

"No buts. You said we could go as soon as Adam could drink from a bottle, and he just did yesterday. I was recording, you want the video?" He pulls out the driveway.

"Yeah, you showed me like 7 seven times now." I sigh.

"It was adorable." He says in-all-seriousness.

I roll my eyes. Of course, it was, he's our baby. Genes don't lie.

"Rose." Ryder squeezes my knee and I glance at him.

"Don't you want to go on the cruise and kick back with me? We haven't been alone for a long time and I'm feeling neglected. I miss your kisses." He stops slowly at a red light.

I chuckle.

"Shut up, I miss you too." I put my hand over his.

He meets my eyes and bends forward to give me a peck. I bite his lip but a halo of green interrupts us, pulling back I interlock my hand with his. He sucks his teeth and looks forward, driving on.

A peaceful silence settles over the car ride and gentle caresses of fingertips, dance in the air.

***

The plane nears its destination as Ryder and I wake up, or he wakes up. How the fuck could I sleep on this flying trap?

"Rose, have you slept?" Ryder yawns from his seat across me.

"No." I might as well be honest. I'm tired but I'm not sleeping on this thing, one of us had to be awake.

"Why not?" He stretches and cracks his neck side to side.

"You were asleep, what if something happened?"

Blame it on being a mom now, but I like to be careful. the last time I had gone on one of these things, I was being kidnapped. Kinda.

"A jet was the only way to get here fast." He reminds me, getting up from his seat and heading towards mine.

"I know." I yawn. He smiles and kneels in front of me, placing his hands on my knees. He loves to touch them.

The intercom statics on.

"We will be reaching the private island of Gladden soon. Please return to your seats," The pilot says.

Ryder kisses my thigh and goes back to his seat. I shake my head at him and mirror his expression. We're finally here.

Our jet lands and we slide down the bright yellow slide out. Of course, there were stairs but this is a vacation, time to let loose.

The staff on the island walk toward us.

"Welcome to your island, Gladden, for two weeks. We are the people who will do as you wish, while you're here. Please feel free to ask any of us if you need assistance. My name is Theo and I am in charge of making your stay here the best you will ever experience." The young built man, Theo, reaches a hand towards me and I shake it. His veins pop out his skin as he shamelessly flexes before me. I chuckle and let go of his hand.

Ryder's muscles look much more delicious than this guy's.

Ryder comes up to my side and wraps his arm around my waist. I smile as Ryder flexes as well, shaking his hand. They both keep on a passive-aggressive smirk.

We've already started this vacation interesting.

I slip out from Ryder's hold and head toward the cabin. A guide quickly walks beside me and I follow them.

"Rose!" Ryder calls from behind me.

"I need a nap! You and Theo go play golf or something." I turn around, shouting while walking backward to keep with my guide. He pouts and shakes his head. Patting Theo on the arm, he runs towards me and I yelp, turning back around to run from the creature charging at me.

My guide moves to the side as I race by her, adrenaline pumping in my chest.

I look back and scream as Ryder gains on me. He's going to catch me. He's going to catch me!

Ryder scoops me up from behind, stopping us as I scream and we both laugh. His arms circle my waist and he kisses the side of my neck frantically. I cringe my shoulder into my ears and my knees into my chest as he lifts me up.

The guide watches us with a small smile.

"If you two are ready, I'll lead you to your room." She gestures forward and Ryder heaves me up, carrying me princess style. I smack at his hands but he ignores, following the woman.

"Ryder, what the fuck? Put me down." I laugh, pushing at his chest.

"I never get to hog you to myself anymore. The group always needs you, Adam always needs you, and I'm always busy with something, So no, I'm not letting you leave my side these two weeks, and we have to come up with something so we see each other more at home." He lectures me, pressing his nose against mine, along with a quick peck as he finishes.

"I don't like it either, but we have our responsibilities and we're all grown now, not just some high school drop-outs with the whole world against us." I poke at his chest.

"Like I said, we have to work something out. Let's give Lucas or Caleb more jobs, they don't seem busy." He reasons.

I shrug.

"We'll see. For now, let's just enjoy ourselves, ok?" We turn into the cabin.

"Yeah, I like that too." Ryder pecks my lips again. I roll my eyes, smiling.

"This is your room for the next two weeks. There's a button on your nightstand to call for food or anything." The guide unlocks the door and drops the keys in my hands, winking.

"Thank you," I respond as she nods and leaves.

We enter the huge room, as the walls looking built of palm trees and the colorful decor stare back at us.

Ryder walks further in the room and throws me on to the ocean print covers. I bounce softly as the bed feels comforting on my aching back.

I forgot I was tired for a second.

Ryder climbs on top of me and smiles down at me. I put a hand on his chest and gently push him to the side on his back, straddling him. It's easy to bring him down.

I draw a hand, from his lips down to his chest and below. He shudders, as I slowly grind on him. I lay down on him and put a hand on his face.

"I'm going to sleep." I throw myself back on the other side of him and pull the covers over me. The bed smells good too.

Ryder lays stunned on his back as I curl into the bed. He sucks his teeth and shuffles under the covers next to me. I hold back my smile.

He kisses me on the cheek and spoons me as I close my eyes.

"I forgot you love to be a tease." He whispers in my ear. I let myself smirk.

I guess I'll have to be reminding him of lots of stuff these two weeks.
