Krista looked at the woman standing in front of her, wondering who the hell she was, and how she knew her name. She rolled her eyes as her hand went to her hip, and was giving her a look of annoyance, thinking how dare she interrupt her. "Can I help you?" she asked snotty, then looked at the couple she was talking to, apologizing for being interrupted by a non-important person.

Victoria heard the comment she made to the other couple, and cleared her throat, letting her know she was still standing there. Krista turned her head back toward Victoria, and rolled her eyes again. "Yes?"

"I wanted to come over and say hello, introduce myself, and to thank you."

"Thank me... for what?" she laughed. "What could I have possibly done for someone who I don't know, that I need to be thanked for?"

Victoria turned around, and reached for Dalton, pulling him next to her, and smiled widely. "For giving me this wonderful man right here. By you leaving him hanging like you did, I never would have met the love of my life."

She looked away from Victoria, and over to Dalton, swallowing hard. She knew he would be there, and tried avoiding him when she saw him talking with another doctor earlier. "Dalton." she deadpanned.

Dalton furrowed his eyebrows, still in shock to see her, and was now wanting to know answers after hearing she was married to the surgeon whom he knew very well. "Krista... what a nice surprise to see you here." He ran his hand up the back of his head, trying not to let on he heard she was married. "I didn't think I'd ever see you again, and am shocked to see you here. So, my next question is, what are you doing here?"

The way he was looking at her, had her clamming up, and turned her head away from him. She didn't know what to say, and didn't feel like talking to him. Victoria saw how she reacted when Dalton questioned her, and how she avoided his question, and giggled mockingly. "What's the matter Krista? Cat got your tongue?"

Krista, still not wanting to talk, raised her glass to her lips, and took a drink while keeping her eyes glued to Dalton. As the lighting shined just right onto the ring on her finger, Dalton reached for her hand, and looked at the ring. "That's a nice ring you've got there, married?" he mocked.

She pulled her hand away from him, and smirked "Why, yes I am, and couldn't be any happier." she said sounding proud, hoping it would make him jealous. She looked at Victoria, and evilly grinned. "You can have the waste of time, no good for nothing fake of a human being. And just a little tip, if you're looking to get married, good luck, you'll be waiting years for something that'll never happen... he doesn't even believe in marriage."

Victoria's mouth dropped, amazed with what she was hearing come out of Krista's mouth, and was about to slap her, until Dalton grabbed a hold of her hand. "She's not worth it Victoria." he said quietly. He too felt angry with what she was saying, and felt his blood boiling within him, and was doing all he can to refrain himself from going off on Krista with all the people standing around them. His face felt like it was on fire, not liking how she was trying to put lies into Victoria's mind. "That's not true Krista, and you know it." he growled.

She smiled, and mocked him while looking at the ring on her finger. "You have no clue what love is..."

Dalton bit his tongue, closed his eyes, and breathed in deep, feeling hurt with her words, thinking unbelievable. He was dumbfounded with what he was hearing, looked at Victoria, then over to Krista, pointing at her. "You're the biggest liar there is, one who I never would have accused of lying. I took you on your dream vacation, then proposed to you... can you remind me of what your answer was?" He laughed, and shook his head, "Oh yeah... it was, a big no, fuck you we're over... which brings me to wonder... how long you were cheating on me with him?"

"With who, I never cheated?" she asked while smirking.

"You know exactly who I am talking about, Thomas, your husband... the one who I knew very well, who I once considered a good, and close friend. Now I know why I haven't heard from him in months... explains everything."

"Don't you two have somewhere else to be, I don't have any more time for you lowlifes." she scowled.

Victoria smiled, heard enough out of her, and was at the point where she didn't care if Dalton got upset with her for what she was about to say next. She couldn't believe how rude, and hurtful she was being toward Dalton, and got in her face. "I have something to say, then we'll leave. First of all, I know Dalton loved you, and loved you very much. When he proposed to you, you said no and moved out of his home, which left him hurting for months, and caused him to wonder where he went wrong. You used him to take you on the trip of your dreams, that right there shows how much of a heartless bitch you really are. Now for us to hear you left him for a friend of his, and married him, who's the fake one? Gee... it sure isn't Dalton, it's you. Then you have the nerve to call him a fake, when you're the one who is fake, one who went from having a board with warts, to bolt on tits..." she snapped. She stepped back, wrapped her arm around his waist, and smiled. "I'm the real one, and so is he...so once again, I thank you for giving me a wonderful, fun loving, down to earth, and big-hearted real man."

Dalton wanted to get Victoria away from Krista before her claws came out, and started walking away. As Victoria, and Dalton walked, she turned her head back toward Krista, and smiled when she saw the shocked expression still lingering on her face. "I could have stuck up for myself back there." he says as they walked. Surprised she stuck up for him the way she did.

"I know, I couldn't take what she was saying about you any longer, and felt I needed to say something. It was like she was trying to persuade me to leave you, and that you weren't worth my time."

Dalton felt like leaving, and looked around the room, seeing if there was anyone he missed speaking to. After seeing he spoke to everyone he wanted to, he looked at her, and pulled her close to him. "What do you say we get out of here?"

"Right now?"

"Let's just sneak out of here, everyone seems to be on their way of getting drunk... nobody will ever notice we left."

She shrugged her shoulder, surprised he wanted to leave so early, and sighed "Okay..."

"We don't have to if you don't want, I just thought we would go somewhere else to relax, and to enjoy the rest of our night together."

She placed her hand in his, and smiled. "Let's get out of here, I've had enough anyway."

He placed his hand on the small of her back, and happily walked her out. "Where are we going, I thought we were going home?" she asked when she saw they were walking through the hotel.

He chuckled, and gripped her hand tighter, bringing her hand up to his lips. "Nope, this morning I came and rented a room for us." he says, kissing the top of her hand. "I felt like doing something special, rather than go home, and see the same ole scenery."

He pulled the door key card out of his wallet as they stood in front of the door, and handed it to her. "Go ahead, let us in." he said with a smile, that had her heart melting like a burning candle. She took the card out of his hand, slid it into the slot, and once the light turned green, she opened the door, and tilted her head to the side when she saw rose pedals scattered all over the place.

He placed his hands on her shoulders, and began kissing the side of her neck, urging her to walk in. Her knees weakened and began melting even more, with the way he was kissing her, and seeing what he done with the room. She slowly walked inside, and the further she walked in, the harder her heart pounded, with butterflies coming out in full force after seeing how he laid out rose pedals into the shape of a heart on top of the bed, and how he had candles burning throughout the room.

"Dalton... what's the occasion, are we having a séance?" she asked after seeing everything he did. This was the first time he showed his romantical side, and was in awe with all the effort he put in to getting the room looking the way it did.

"I told you I wanted to give you a night of relaxation, and for us to have a good night... plus I needed to show you that I am a romantic at heart, on top of being an asshole." he winked. "Or, as you would call me, Doctor Jekyll." he said in her ear, making her giggle as walked over to the jacuzzi, turning it on.

"I don't call you that anymore..."

"I know, but I'll never forget it." He walked back over to her, picked her up, and laid her on the bed while pressing his lips against hers, kissing her with demand, both fighting for dominance, as their tongues massaged each other's. He pulled away, and lifted his head, wanting to look at the woman he very much adored. "I love you so much, don't you ever go thinking I don't." he said lowly, while looking at her with love in his eyes.

"I love you too." she says feeling her body tingle, and smiling as she spoke, while running her fingers through his hair.

He smiled, and began tracing her lips with his finger, thinking how lucky he was to have met her, and vowing to himself that he will do everything he can to never lose her. He kissed the tip of her nose, and rolled onto his back. "Would you like to go sit in the jacuzzi for a bit?"

"Sure... only, I don't have anything to wear."

He laughed, and sat up. "So... it's only us, why would you need anything to wear?" he asked as he turned around, and helped her up. "Sitting naked together in the jacuzzi, is the best way to enjoy ourselves."

"True." She felt like being a tease, and stood in front of him while seductively taking her dress off slowly.

"Are you planning on giving me a show?" he asked, feeling himself rise for the occasion.

"No, I'm just taking my dress off so we can get into the jacuzzi. That is what you want to do, isn't it?"

"You big tease." he chuckled, and smiled while watching her take off her dress. "No panties again?" he asked with a wider grin.

She giggled, "You don't wear panties in a dress like this."

He reached for her hand, and pulled her closer to him, with her pussy staring him in the face. Mmm, he moaned, liking what he was seeing, and rested his hands on her ass, pushing her into his face as his tongue came out, sliding it through her folds, and latching onto her happy button with his teeth.

With her teasing him the way she was, he felt the need to tease her right back. After teasing her with a couple soft licks, and hearing the moans escape her lips, he abruptly stopped, and stood with a smile. The look on her face was priceless, and chuckled while grabbing her chin, and leaned forward, kissing her. "I'm ready for the jacuzzi now, are you?"

"Who's the tease now?" she pouted.

He undressed, reached for her hand, and walked her over to the jacuzzi. He picked her up, carried her into the jacuzzi with him, and slowly moved them down into the water, moaning in delight from the warmth of the water "This feels nice." he smiled.

He set her down on the bench next to him, and reached over the jacuzzi grabbing a couple glasses, opened a bottle of champagne, then poured them each a glass. "Here you go." he says, handing her a glass.

She took the drink out of his hand, and smiled. "Champagne too? You really did want to go all out tonight, didn't you?"

"Only for my girl, I wanted us to have a romantic night... even though, after what happened earlier, I thought our night was about to be ruined." he said, breathing in deep.

"I'm glad our night wasn't ruined, that we're here enjoying each other, and sitting in the hot tub together. There's no other place I'd rather be." She slammed her glass, set it down, then climbed onto his lap, and straddled him. He grinned, set his glass down, and pulled her in for a kiss. As their kiss deepened, his cock started swelling, and grew harder the longer they kissed, enjoying every second of how demanding her kiss was.

She reached for his hardened shaft, and smiled as she raised her hips, and placed him at her opening. The moment she slid her body down on his shaft, fireworks exploded within them. He was loving the warmth of her insides wrapped tightly around him, while she was enjoying the hardness, and the girth of his cock fitting nicely inside her. He glued his eyes to her breasts, and watched how they floated, and splashed in the water while she worked his cock.

She slowly pressed herself all the way down, while taking him in all the way, then stopped, and grinded herself side to side, back and forth, wanting to feel every bit of him. He lifted one of her breasts, and softly licked her hardened nipple in circles, before sucking and nibbling, and repeated with the other breast, before pulling her in for another kiss.

She slowly moved her hips, then picked up pace, and started bouncing up and down faster, when she felt herself ready to orgasm. He deeply thrusted into her as far as he could go, while pressing her down as he released all he had into her. Both on a sexual high as they felt electricity run up their spines while orgasming together. She felt his cock pulsating inside her, and closed her eyes, wanting to enjoy the entire feeling of him throbbing against her walls.

She wrapped her lips around his, and kissed him with hunger until she needed to breathe, and looked him in the eyes, "I'm thirsty." she whispered.

"What would you like, man milk, or Champagne?" he asked with a grin.

She giggled, and moved off him. "I'll take some more champagne, please." she says, leaning her head back, staring at the ceiling. She felt relaxed, satisfied, then started thinking about Krista's facial expression after she called her out on being fake, and giggled.

"What's so funny?" he asked, as he handed her a drink.

"Krista's expression when I told her she was the one who was fake, that she had warts for breasts, and had swapped them for bolt ons."

"I see... about Krista, thanks for saying what you did. I just can't get over the things she claimed about me, and was flabbergasted by it. After years of giving her everything she wanted, then to hear what she said, was a huge slap in the face."

"Can I ask you something?" she asked, squinting her eyebrows, and looking at him curiously.

"You can ask me anything."

"Why did it take you so long to propose to her? I mean, if you were together as long as you were, and felt the way you did about her, why did you wait so long?"

"To be honest, a couple years after we got together I almost proposed. I bought her a ring, and was set to do it one night, until I overheard her talking to a friend of hers. Saying she didn't think she could ever marry me because I was way too nice, and wasn't much of a challenge... I then asked her at one point if she wanted out of the relationship, she said no, and I put it off to see how things went for a while. For a few years after that night, she kept talking about marriage, and how she wanted to go to Croatia. That's when I felt she did want to marry me, and decided to finally propose... I was wrong."

"I have to tell you the truth... I'm glad she said no." she said quietly, smiling ear to ear. "Had she said yes, I wouldn't be here with you this very moment, and wouldn't be madly in love with you, or anyone for that matter."

He looked behind him, and poured them a couple more drinks of champagne, and set them on the shelf next to his head. "I'm glad she said no too, it never would have worked out anyway... and, I wouldn't be here with you..." he says, pulling her to him, and having her straddle him.

He cupped the back of her head, and pulled her in for a deep, romantic, passionate kiss, that had them both gasping for air. He held her tightly against him, and rested his chin on her shoulder, smiling. "As I was saying, if I couldn't be with you here this very moment, I wouldn't be giving you this."
