Cris' POV

Unbelievable is the word that comes to mind. And he is on the same floor.

"Goodbye, Chase."

I placed the sign and closed the door. The next thing I know, I hear a knock on the door. I kept walking towards my hungry wife. I heard another knock. I kept walking towards Kamea.

There was another knock. I was already pissed off from the two earlier knocks on the door. Dummy me for going to answer it. This time, I lost my cool and walked back to the door.

"What in the heck do you want, Chase?" I asked him through gritted teeth.

"I just want to apologize for my behavior last night."

"I don't believe that you are sorry at all. I wasn't born yesterday. Whatever stunt you are trying to pull, stop it!"

"Look, man, I really am sorry. That is your wife, and I need to respect that."

Kamea's POV

"Why is Cris taking so long? Whoever is at the door has got to go."

I got up out of the jacuzzi, put my robe on, and stormed towards the door.

With so much irritation, I asked, "Cris, who is invading Kamea's time?"

Chase asked, "I really would like to make it up to you and your wife. Please be a VIP guest at my club tonight. Here is the address."

"Wait a minute. He is staying here?"

Ugh, he is getting on my nerves. So, I brushed past Cris and confronted Chase.

"Look, you are interrupting my time. I am on my honeymoon, and not to mention I am a horny woman right now. So, I am going to need you to leave so Cris can fulfill my needs."

I pushed Chase away and slammed the door.

Cris looked at me with an evil grin.

"Well, I was telling the truth. So, march on over to that jacuzzi, and let's finish what we started."

***********************

Chase's POV

"Oh my goodness. Her body through that robe is sexy. I need a cold shower from the mental images picturing myself and her in my bed. But, she is going to be a challenge. She is not like Miranda. But I am up for the challenge. I hope they make it to the club. Cris, you are going to have to hide her because she is on my radar."

**********************

*Later that evening*

Kam's POV

I looked over at Cris lying on the bed. I snuggled up to him and just admired how peaceful he looked while asleep. I started playing with his hair.

"Hey, love."

"Oh, I'm sorry I woke you up."

"Sweetheart, do you want to go out tonight?"

"Not really. I get bad vibes from being around that guy. I want to spend as much time as I can with my handsome, gorgeous husband. Besides, it would be too painful to dance after what we have done all day. I want to go to the beach tomorrow. But I didn't pack a bathing suit because I didn't know where we were going."

"I am glad you said the beach because I planned that for us. It is secluded and private, so it will just be us. Besides, we only packed enough to last us through today. And we stayed in today, So we'll go shopping and then head to the beach."

"I really have enjoyed the time we spent together in the Virgin Islands - getting married to the man of my dreams, the amazing sex. I wish it didn't have to end. But I know we must go back. I'm glad I took the rest of the week off. I don't go back to work until next Tuesday. And, I thought we could have dinner on Saturday with our families and tell them that we are married."

"How would you like to adopt Dia and Rocco? And, before you say it, yes, I want you to. It would mean a lot to me."

"I would love to adopt Dia and Rocco. They are precious to me. I would do anything for them. Thank you, gorgeous."

Cris looked over and noticed I had tears in my eyes. "We are a team, sweetheart. What's yours is mine. And mine is yours. While we are talking about kids, how about house hunting? I have a feeling our family will be expanding soon. After this week, I believe we will have a little one soon."

"I hope so. Spending time with Dia and Rocco increases my desire to start having our kids. I just hope my Diabetes and Asthma do not interfere with me becoming pregnant."

Cris gave me a peck on my forehead. "Well, I can't wait to see you pregnant with our babies. The mood swings, late-night cravings, and belly rubs - I am looking forward to it. I was there with Alicia. Most definitely, I will be there for you. We will make it through your pregnancy together. Now, let's order room service for dinner."

"Sounds good to me."

******************************

*Meanwhile, in another part of the island.*

Chase's POV

I looked at my watch to see that it was after 11 pm. Dang.

"I knew Cris would not bring his sexy wife here. Smart move, Cris. But there will be other opportunities. I know where you live and where your club is. Count on it."

******************************

*The next day - Tuesday*

Kamea's POV

After I got in the shower and changed into my black yoga pants and purple tank top, I went over to Cris.

"Hey Tiger, can you give me my shot of insulin? I am off my daily routine of exercise. I want to go to the gym in the hotel."

"Sure. Let's go to the kitchen."

We went downstairs to the kitchen, and Cris gave me my shot. "Ouch." I flinch every time I get that shot. "Thanks."

"Why leave the room when you can get your exercise here?"

"Boy, please. Besides, let's save it for the secluded beach."

"I'll come down in a few and join you at the gym after I take my shower."

"Okay, gorgeous. See you soon."

I left our room and made my way to the elevator. As I pressed the button to go down, I heard a room door close. I didn't bother to turn around because I already knew who it was.

"Ugh, how convenient." If Chase tries anything, I'm going to hurt him.

"Good morning. Kamea, is it?"

This fool knows that is my name.

"Good morning." Come on, elevator. Move faster. I hope someone gets on and doesn't leave me alone with him.

"I missed you guys last night at my club."

Chase started moving closer to me. I put my hand up. 

"Do not come any closer. You are invading my personal space. I don't know you. And, can you leave my husband alone? We have two kids at home to think about. I don't know what happened between you two, but I need him focused on our future, not the past."

"Sorry, ma'am," he said with a smirk. He was still walking over towards me, ignoring what I had just said. The elevator was only so big. I was running out of room to move to.

"Look, Chase, I am going to need you to back off and leave me alone. I am happily married to Cris. My future is with him and with him only. I love him, and he loves me. You and I are strangers. So, I need you to respect our marriage and leave my husband and me alone." 

The elevator suddenly stopped. "Oh great, stuck on an elevator with him."

Chase kept inching over to me. So, I moved. "What part of what I said don't you get?"

"But Mrs. Kamea, you and I can be more. Ever since I saw you in the restaurant, I can't get you out of my head. I want to take you right here on this elevator. And, now you are standing here half naked with those workout pants and tight tank top. You are irresistible and sexy," he said to me as he was now facing me.

"Just because I am wearing this outfit, that doesn't give you the right to touch me."

Chase started to reach out his hand to touch my arm. I swatted his hand away. "This is sexual assault!"

The next thing I knew, he had pinned me up against the wall with his hands on both sides of my face. He was so close to me that I could barely move. "Get off me!" I tried to wiggle out of his hold.

"Sexy, there is no one here but you and me. Cris doesn't have to know about this. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I wanted you - bad. Kiss me, baby."

Chase leaned in to try and kiss me. I turned my face away from his kiss. I felt his disgusting lips kiss my cheeks while pressing hard on me. And I could tell his 'friend' was happy. 

"Let me go!!" But he ignored it.

"You're wrong! Cris will know about this!"

I wiggled enough out of Chase's grasp so that I could lift my knee. My knee connected with his prized jewels. And, then, my fists connected with his face.

I kept hitting him until the elevator started moving again. When the elevator made it to the main floor, Cris was standing there waiting for me. I ran out of that elevator fast and grabbed Cris for dear life. He saw the pained expression I had on my face.

Cris' POV

I made my way to the hotel gym and noticed Kamea was not there. I asked the receptionist if she had seen her. The receptionist said she didn't see her. So, I overheard the receptionist call for maintenance because the elevator was stuck. That's when I had a feeling Kamea was stuck in it.

About 30 minutes later, the elevator started moving and came down to the first floor. Sure enough, Kamea was in there. But what I saw had me furious. Kamea ran off the elevator and straight into my arms. Then, I noticed that Chase was lying on the ground. He appeared to be in pain.

"Sweetheart, tell me what happened on that elevator." She was visibly upset and scared. So, we went to the lounge and sat down.

"H-h-he knew it was me getting on the elevator, so he got on after I did. I was hoping somebody else got on, but they didn't. Then, Chase started inching over to me - invading my personal space. I-I told him to leave me - leave us alone. But he ignored it. Then, he started talking about how I was sexy and how my outfit was revealing. A-and, he said he wanted to have sex with me on the elevator. He then pinned me real tight against the wall of the elevator. Before he tried to kiss me, he told me Cris didn't have to know about this. He leaned in to kiss my lips, but I turned my face away. But he did kiss my cheeks. After that, I wiggled around enough to knee him in his jewels and punched him in the face. When the elevator started running again, I wanted to get off so fast. Who knows what would have happened if we were still stuck."

Then, she started crying hard.

"Stay right here, baby. I'll be right back."

"Chase is a dead man."

Every word that defined anger was me - steamed, outraged, pissed off, seething, etc. I warned Chase about touching Kamea.

"I am going to break his neck." I went up to the receptionist. "Where did they take the man that sexually assaulted my wife on the elevator?"

She said, "Right down the hall past the elevators. There is a first aid room there. The police have been called."

"Thank you. Because I am about to commit a murder."

I heard Kamea calling my name, but I ignored her because Chase was going to pay for what he did to her. I walked passed the elevators just as the receptionist said and found the room. 

"Chase!! Where are you?! You are going to pay for assaulting Kamea."

I saw him being tended to while he was sitting on a bench. I pushed the nurse aside and started choking the life out of him.

"Kamea told you no, and you ignored her pleas!! I want to see you dead!! I have had enough of your crap!!"

Kamea was right on my heels, but she looked out of breath.

"Cris, please stop! Please!!!" She said through her tears.

But I still ignored her. My hands had a firm grip around Chase's neck. And I was not letting go. He was mumbling, "Stop. I can't breathe."

"That's the idea! When Kamea said 'get off her', did you listen to her?! NO! You ignored her! Now, I am going to ignore you!"

"Cris, listen to me?! Please........."

I heard a loud plop. I turned around to see that Kamea had fainted. "Screw you, Chase!"

I let my grip off him and ran over to Kamea. She was trying to mouth, "I..can't..breathe."

"Nurse, my wife has Asthma! She needs an inhaler fast!" I cradled her in my arms.

"Hang in there, sweetheart. I can't lose you."

The nurse ran over and handed me the inhaler. "Breathe, Kamea. Breathe for me, sweetheart."

In the meantime, the police entered the room. Kamea started breathing much better until she didn't need the inhaler. "You scared me there, baby."

"I want that man over there on that bench arrested. He sexually assaulted my wife on the elevator."

"May we ask your wife a few questions?"

Kamea said, "Yes."

The officer asked her, "Can you tell us what happened in the elevator?"

"Well, my husband and I are on our honeymoon because we were married over the weekend. We have been eating so much food at restaurants, room service, etc. I wanted to go to the hotel gym and get some exercise. So, I told my husband where I was going and left the room. Once the elevator came, I hopped on. The man on the bench, Chase, followed me on the elevator. He started moving over to where I was standing - calling me sexy, questioning what I was wearing, and even told me he wanted to have sex with me on the elevator. I told him to leave me alone and that I loved my husband. H-h-he ignored what I said. He then pinned me against the wall, forced himself on me, and tried to kiss me. I wiggled just enough to knee him in the jewels and punched him in the face several times. No means no!! I told him, no, and he ignored it!!" She started crying again.

"Sir, you are under arrest for the sexual assault of...."

"My name is Kamea Fiore."

"You are under arrest for the sexual assault of Mrs. Kamea Fiore."

"You can't arrest me. There is no proof of an assault. It is her word against mine. Don't deny the truth. You know you loved it." Once again, with the horrid smirk on his face.

"Un-freaking-believable. He attacks her and says that crap?!!"

I was beyond livid. I got up out of my chair and walked straight over to Chase, and started choking him again.

"Cris, please stop! Please stop before they arrest you too! I have no reason to lie! You tried to rape me, and you know it, Chase!"

The officer said, "Let us do our job, Mr. Fiore! We are taking him in. Get him out of here now and haul his tail to jail!"

The female officer asks, "Is there a number we can keep in touch with you? Mr. & Mrs. Fiore, we will make sure he pays for assaulting you. I spoke with the receptionist a while ago, and they are getting footage from the elevator. You have my word."

I gave them our house number and my cell phone number. Before they walked off with Chase, he said, "It's not over beautiful."

Kamea looked over at him and punched him right square in the face.

"I don't feel like going to the beach anymore. I just want to go back to California," Kamea said with tears in her eyes.

It broke my heart to see her like this. "Let's go back to the room, and I'll see when we can leave. The sooner, the better."

When we got back to our room, I told Kamea to lie down on the couch. Meanwhile, I called our pilot to see if we could leave the Virgin Islands sooner than Wednesday afternoon. He said he would check and give me a callback.

After my phone call, I went to the couch and cuddled with Kamea. "The pilot is going to call me back to see when we can leave. Let's get some rest, sweetheart." And we both fell asleep.

****************

About an hour later, my phone rang. I checked the caller ID, and it was our pilot. "Mr. Fiore, the soonest time I could take off is one morning."

"That will be fine. We will be there. Thanks for calling back." I looked down to see that Kamea was asleep. I slowly tried to move from our embrace to start packing our things. I started upstairs first, then made my way back to the kitchen for our insulin. Then, I made a call to have the presents for Dia and Rocco sent to the plane.

I saw Kamea tossing and turning on the couch. Eventually, she started screaming. "Listen to me, love. He will not get away with this. I promise you. I was able to schedule a sooner flight for us to leave. We will be leaving really early in the morning - 1 am."

"I don't care. I just want to go home to see my kids."

"I already packed our things. So, when it is time to leave, we will be ready. We didn't get to go shopping today, so we will have to wear what we have on. Try to go back to sleep, love. I will be right here with you."

Kamea rested her head on my chest. I started rubbing Kamea's back and placing her hair off her face and behind her ears. Kamea eventually cried herself to sleep. I just kept rubbing her back and up and down her arms. When we get back into town, I am getting her a bodyguard - the best one there is. I dozed off to sleep as well.

*****************

I looked at my phone to see that it was after 10 pm. "Sweetheart, wake up. We need to get something to eat and then make our way to the airport."

"I don't feel like eating."

"Please, love, you haven't had anything to eat all day. I'll order something from the lounge, and we can share it."

Kamea sighed, "Fine. I will try."

We got off the couch and left the room. I went ahead and had our luggage sent to the plane. It was hard to get her on the elevator because she instantly thought about what had happened earlier.

After a few minutes, I talked her into getting on. We arrived downstairs, and we went over to the receptionist's desk.

"Mr. & Mrs. Fiore, the owner of the hotel, would like to sincerely apologize for the events earlier. The owner paid for your stay here. Mr. Fiore, a credit was issued to your card."

"Well, can I at least pay for, um, any damages to the room? We were very active with our physical activities."

"Don't worry about it. We will take care of it."

"Thank you. Come, love, let's go to the lounge."

We waited for the hostess to seat us. I just ordered a chicken sandwich, so we could split it. There is food also on the plane, but I wanted her to eat something now. The waiter brought us the chicken sandwich.

Kamea said she wasn't hungry, but she tore that sandwich up. I let her have it and ordered one for myself. By the time we finished, I had paid for the food because it was time to go to the airport. After what happened, I doubt she would want to come back here. Let's face it - I am not bringing her back here.

We made it safely to the airport and boarded the plane. "Mr. Fiore, we are cleared to take off now. Would you like me to take off?" The pilot asked.

It was now midnight. "Yes, please. And, thank you."

"Buckle up, love. We are about to take off."

The plane took off, and we were on our way back to California. I looked over to Kamea to see she had fallen asleep. We were now at an altitude at that I could get up and carry her to the bedroom on board. I gently placed her down, then laid down next to her. "Goodnight, sweetheart."

Then, we were both asleep.
