<b>Shermaine </b>didn’t hesitate for a second. “No way.”
But Joshua kept at it, taking his sweet time with no rush at all. He was getting really good at winning her over these days. The <b>giry </b>who used to have zero interest in this stuffpletely changed when he was around her.
Shermaine’s cheeks turned bright red, and even her shoulders had this soft pink glow going on. Hard to tell if it was from the hot spring steam of because he just wouldn’t quit with his moves.
They went all out that night. They still had three or four more days left to mess around and see the sights. Next thing they knew, July rolled in <b>with </b>even
nastier heat.
But North Sea was gorgeous. The ocean looked like gold when the sun went down, and those summer sunflowers were blooming like crazy.
They hung out in Peakhill West at night, which turned
to be the second biggest red–light district in all of Rodurist.
Too bad they came at the wrong time of year though. They totally the best season for North Sea trips and couldn’t check out those snow scenes
everyone talked about.
People said they were amazing.
They spent their days hitting up different spots all over the ce, and their nights were pure passion. Joshua figured this whole honeymoon thing was totally worth it.
Right, now they were down at the beach with the sun starting to set. Seagulls were flying around everywhere while Shermaine was out there surfing.
Joshua had set up a beach umbre with a lounge chair underneath, and people all around them were having a st in the water.
When Shermaine saw it was getting dark, she caught onest wave and headed back to shore.
She walked up carrying her surfboard under one arm, and when she got to their umbre, Joshua grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her while he
dried off all the water droplets.
Shermaine was one of those people who just didn’t tan no matter what. Plus, she’d been religious about sunscreen, so she hadn’t gotten even a little bit
darker.
Joshua didn’t bother with all that sunscreen stuff himself, but whenever Shermaine want for dinner tonight?” he asked.

Joshua gave her waist a gentle squeeze. “How do you never gain any weight?”

Their whole trip had been prettyid–back. They had private cars taking them everywhere and ate like kings with all the best local food the ce had to
offer.
Shermaine felt ticklish and pressed her lips together. “You know very well why I can’t gain weight.”
All that eating during the day got burned offpletely by night, so there was no way she’d put on
pounds.
Joshua paused for a second, thenughed. He pressed a soft kiss to Shermaine’s corbone. “It’s because I love you so much.” He couldn’t believe he’d turned into this guy with zero self–control, always wanting more.
The golden sunlight stretched their shadows long across the ground. To anyone watching, they looked like some perfect fairy–<b>tale </b>couple, all romantic
and beautiful.

“Mr. Murphy, you really love your wife. Here to buy her ice cream again? Same as usual?” the shop clerk asked him.
Richard Murphy said yes.
