After checking into their room, and getting themselves situated, they took a walk around the ship, wanting to check it out, and to see where everything was "I think I feel like letting loose." Sadie said, as they walked past a bar.

"What were you thinking?"

"I would like a drink." she grinned, then grinned even wider when she saw his expression.

"You do?" he asked shocked.

"Well... it's been years since I was able to let loose, and we have no kids to worry about. So, why not?"

Antonio smiled, and opened the door for her, placing his hand on the small of her back and walking her over to the bar. They sat down, and waited for the bartender to come and take their order. He looked at her, and shook his head, curious to hear what she was going to order. She was in the mood to let her hair down, and to live a little, something that was long overdue. "What can I get for you two?" The bartender asked, as he placed a couple coasters in front of them.

She smiled, then looked over at Antonio "I would like a Long Island Iced Tea." His eyes widened, surprised hearing her order something so potent, and knew he'll probably be carrying her back to their room when they were finished. Seeing his eyes as wide as they were, she giggled "I told you I wanted to let loose."

He chuckled "I guess so." He looked at the bartender, laid cash on top of the bar, and ordered himself bourbon on the rocks.

Sadie looked over at Antonio, scooted her chair closer to him, and placed her hand in his. She leaned forward, and kissed him "Thank you for this, I really needed this."

"I know you did, whatever it takes to make my princess happy. When she's happy, then I'm happy."

They stayed inside the bar for a couple hours, enjoying cocktails, and having heartfelt talks about their kids, and their marriage. Sadie was starting to feel the alcohol kick in, and looked at Antonio "So why did you hide it from me?"

"Hide what?" He took a sip of his bourbon, and looked at her curiously.

Sadie reached, and grabbed a hold of his chin when he turned to wave the bartender over, and turned him to look at her "You know what I'm talking about... my mom, and Ethan... I had a feeling something had been going on for a while, and figured something happened the night Ethan helped my mom out with her car. When he came back to the house to eat, he couldn't even look at me. And whenever I talked with you about the two of them, you either would change the subject, or you would tell me to let them be."

Antonio ordered another round of drinks, then rubbed the back of his head as he looked at Sadie, he knew her by now, and knew she could always tell when he was trying to hide something from her.

"I figured it out when I went over to his house one morning, and saw your mother's car in the driveway. I never went in, but I had gone to see him later that morning, and had a little talk with him over breakfast. I asked him about it, and refused to admit to anything, but after a while, he finally confessed."

"So... I'm going to ask again, why did you hide it from me?"

"I wasn't trying to hide anything, I told him he needed to be the one to tell you, it wasn't my place to say anything, I'll admit it drove me nuts knowing about it, and not being able to say anything to you. But the way I saw it was, they're both adults who consented on an act that was private between them. Then I thought back to when it first happened between us, how we tried hiding it, knowing eventually it would come out; We just didn't know when."

She placed the straw in her mouth, sucking up the rest of her drink, and smiled "You still hid it." she says, smirking "But I understand, I just don't want to see her hurt, especially after what she went through all those years, and it just weird to me, I look at him as my brother."

"But he isn't." he says, lifting her hand and kissing it. "It's Ethan, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Besides, if something were to happen where he hurt her, I'm sure he knows he would have to answer to you." he laughed "Just let them be, they're not hurting anyone, and I can see he cares about her a lot. On Thanksgiving, when I went to go find her, we had a nice talk. She confessed she was very much in love with him. So, as much as you may not agree, I suggest we stay out of the way, let them sort out their feelings for each other, and see where it leads."

"I'll let them be. The night my mom and I talked, and she finally admitted to me about the two of them, I could see then, how much she loves him. As for Ethan, I will kick his ass if he does hurt her, but I do agree with you, I don't see him ever hurting her." She was at the point where she was feeling no pain, jumped off the barstool, and pulled him over to the dance floor.

As they danced, he held her tightly against him, and couldn't stop staring into her eyes, his love for her was so deep, that he didn't want to let her go of her when the song was finished. She rested her head against his chest, and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment of being in his arms. While holding her, he thought back to his talk with Ethan, and wondered if Ethan was right. Had he met Sadie, and Harlow at the same time, would he have chosen Sadie instead of Harlow? He loved Harlow a lot, and still missed her, but wondered if his love for Sadie was stronger, than his love for Harlow. Tilting her chin up, he gave her a long, loving, passionate kiss "I love you, Sadie."

After sharing a kiss on the dance floor, he knew Sadie had enough to drink, and walked her back to the room. The moment he opened the door, she jumped into his arms, and begin devouring his neck. Her hands quickly slid up the back of his neck, and up through his hair, moving her lips up to his lips, and forcefully thrusting her tongue into his mouth, like a wild cat.

"Fottimi Antonio." she moaned, as he pressed her up against the wall. He loved she learned his language, and thought it was hot, and sexy whenever she spoke Italian to him. His cock grew even harder, after hearing her speak Italian, and asking him to fuck her.

With her in his arms, he found a way to get his pants down, and lowered her to slide her panties to the side, wanting to thrust his cock inside her, and smiled when he felt a wet pussy waiting for him, with no panties to mess with.

His lips hungrily, and demandingly met with hers, while thrusting in his cock, holding onto the back of her head, while he thrusted fast, and hard, and wanting to help keep her head from banging against the wall. He carried her over to the bed, knocking things over along the way, and laid her down. Kicking his pants off, he climbed over her, grabbed her legs, and placed them up over his shoulders, and thrusted himself deeply inside her, hitting the back of her wall. Causing her to loudly gasp, after he thrusted all of him inside her.

This was the position she enjoyed the most, it was a position to where she could feel his entire shaft inside her, and loved how his cock could hit every magical spot inside her, it always had her screaming, and squirming with excitement. The faster his thrusts became, her moaning, and screaming became louder.

She reached her arms back, and grabbed a hold of the headboard. Her eyes rolled back, and felt her orgasm was about to hit, any second. Seeing she was ready to orgasm, got him excited, and lowered his lips to hers, kissing her with urgency. He pushed himself up, and thrusted while grunting, until they released together.

After lowering her legs, he lowered himself onto her, and laid there for a while, looking at her, as he ran his fingers through her hair, admiring her beauty. Loving the fact, they're still married, and how strong their love was for each other. He felt it was just as strong as it was, to when they first got together, and how it felt like they were still newlyweds. He rolled over to his back, bringing her with, and having her lay on top of him. She smiled, and stared deeply into his eyes, as he tightly held onto her.

"Sei l'amore della mia vita e farò di tutto per renderti felice, ti amo." he said to her softly, while using his fingers to brush her hair to the side, and away from her face, then pulled her in for a sweet, romantic, passionate kiss.

Ethan got all Faith's belongings together, and brought them out to his car. His heart was aching that he had to drop her off, and did what he could to delay dropping her off, and stopping along the way to get her some ice cream. The more time he spent with her, and studied all her features, the more he saw a spitting image of him, and knew for sure, she was in fact his child. He pulled her onto his lap, and looked at her "You know you can come over to my house anytime you want."

"OK, I had fun." she grinned, with ice cream all over her face. Taking a napkin, he cleaned off her face, and kissed her cheek "I'm glad you had fun, those are your cousins, and I'm sure they would love for you to come over more often to play." He knew the younger ones weren't blood related, but in his eyes, he considered them family.

After finishing her ice cream, he brought her home to Melissa's. He had a hard time handing her back to Melissa, and wished he was able to spend more time with her. He gave her a hug after Melissa insisted, she go in the house, and warm up. "You be good for your mommy." he said, while hugging her.

Ethan stood up, and looked at Melissa, as mad as he was at her, for keeping Faith from him these past four years, he remained civil with her "Thank you for letting me have her the last couple days, it wasn't enough time, but at least I had some time with her."

"You're welcome. Consider that an apology from me."

Ethan sighed, as he looked past her, and saw Faith waving, and smiling at him. "Just promise me you'll never keep her from me again, I'm having a hard-enough time as it is, dropping her off right now."

"I know, and again I'm sorry. Like I said, anytime you would like to have her, just let me know. But I would still like to stick with every other weekend, with you having her."

Ethan waved to Faith, and went on his way, driving around for a while thinking about Faith, and Grace, and how things in his life were finally coming together. Being he had a day off, he went to the furniture store, and bought a bed, dresser, lamp and toys for Faith. He then went home, and cleaned a room out for Faith, and spent the day painting, and setting up the room for her, wanting her to have her own room when she came over to visit.

He was happy with the results of the room he had set up for Faith, and couldn't wait to show it off. He drove over to Grace's house, and saw that her car wasn't in the driveway. He knocked on the door anyway, knowing she would have been home from work, and figured she had her car parked inside the garage. "Damn." he mumbled, when she never answered the door, or her phone.

He left to go home, and figured he would show her another day. He knew he should have called before stopping by, but wanted to see her face, instead of hearing her voice. On the way home he tried calling Grace again, and still got no answer. He then debated about turning around, and going to her work to see if she was working, but didn't want her to think he was stalking her, and went home.

Just as he was about to open a beer, and relax, his phone rang. He didn't recognize the number so he didn't answer it, and opened his beer, taking a drink, and sat on the couch. His phone rang again, dammit can't a guy enjoy a damn beer around here? he says frustrated, getting up to grab his phone. Seeing it was Grace he answered it, only to be shocked to hear it wasn't Grace, and a guy calling from her phone.

"Fuck... I'll be right there." he said, frantically running out of the house. He got into his car, realized he forgot his keys, and ran back in the house, grabbing them off the counter.

Ethan sped off, and went on his way to get to Grace. While driving, he wasn't thinking about the speed limit, and was more worried about getting to her. He had his foot all the way pressed down on the pedal, flying through stop lights, weaving in, and out of cars like a Nascar driver, and groaned when he saw red lights flashing behind him.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." he yelled, while pulling over.

He sat, and waited for the cop to come up to his window, swearing, and cussing the cop out for taking a while to get to the car. The cop finally came, and knocked on the window. He buzzed his window down, handing him his license and registration. "What seems to be the problem officer?" he asked. The cop then shined his light at him, blinding his eyesight. "Fuck, was that really necessary?" he yelled, blocking the light from his eyes.

The cop studied his actions, and furrowed his eyebrows. "Have you been drinking boy?" The older cop asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I have. I've had six beers, two shots, and a couple pitchers of beer, is that going to be a problem?" he grinned "No, of course I haven't been drinking, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drive this good... although I will admit I've had plenty of water to drink today, and I'm feeling the need to use the restroom once I get to my destination." The officer not knowing how to react, took a step back, and asked him to get out of the car.

Ethan groaned "Ah come on man, I was just joking. What am I being pulled over for anyway?" he asked, as he stepped out of his car.

"Do you really have to ask? I was behind you for a while... you were weaving in, and out of cars, and doing a 100mph in a 45mph speed zone."

"Oops, so I was driving a little hot, but I have a very good reason why I was."

The cop didn't want to hear it, and gave him a field sobriety test, to which he passed. "I told you I wasn't drinking, I had one swig of a beer at home, until I got a phone call about the love of my life, and I was just trying to get to her is all."
