Kelsey stifled a yawn. “Do you mean we could stay in bed all day and listen to the waves if we wanted to?”

“That’s exactly what I mean, but I think we’d be doing more than listening to waves.”

Kelsey pulled Isabella down and kissed her with intent. “I know we would. Let’s do it. Let’s come and do a vacation just for us.”

“We can do our favorite things.”

“That would be a great trip for November,” Kelsey said.

Isabella raised her brows. “Do you think we’ll still be doing these trips in November?”

“If we’re not then we’ll come on our own. I’ve been thinking and I don’t see what the big deal is. We didn’t deceive anybody. We didn’t keep anything from anybody. We fell in love and have shared it with our followers. I don’t see the problem. If some of our followers don’t like it because we’re gay then, bye. Go find another vacation site. For those followers that want to stay with us, we’ll keep showing them this wonderful resort and how to play with magic.” Kelsey grinned.

“Mmm, I love your magic,” Isabella said, pressing her lips to Kelsey’s. “Hey, let’s ask Liz, Riley, and Alex to go to Honeymoon Beach with us today.”

Kelsey raised her brows. “Maybe Carmen and Sylvie could come too. We could have our own beach party after we do the videos.”

“You know, babe, these islands will always be a part of us. It’s where we fell in love. We’ll be back whether Coral Bay is our client or not.”

“Let’s go to Honeymoon Beach,” Kelsey said with a grin.

It didn’t take long for the beach party to come together. Riley offered to bring the drinks while Kelsey ordered a picnic basket from the resort. Sylvie would be waiting for them at the dock on St. Thomas. Liz, Riley, and Alex agreed to meet them on St. John with transportation to the trailhead.

Kelsey and Isabella picked up the picnic basket and met Carmen in the lobby of the resort.

“Have you looked at the website?” Carmen asked as they walked to her car.

“Nope,” Isabella replied. “We told you last night that we weren’t checking it.”

Carmen chuckled as they got in her car.

“I’m guessing the comments are good or you wouldn’t be taking the day off to go to the beach with us,” Kelsey said.

“You would be correct,” Carmen replied as she pulled the car out of the resort. “There have been a few haters, but we expected that. The majority of them were positive.” She chuckled. “Several proclaimed they saw it coming or they already knew.”

“I’m not surprised,” Isabella said.

“We couldn’t keep this a secret if we wanted to,” Kelsey said. “It’s the way we look at each other.”

“I agree,” Carmen said. “I look at Sylvie that way.”

“Maybe we’ll get to keep doing these trips,” Kelsey said.

“I hope so,” Carmen said. “What’s the plan for today?”

“We have several posts we want to do with the leaning palms, snorkeling, that cute beach bar, and simply lounging by the water,” Isabella said. “But we really want to enjoy the beach with our friends.”

Carmen smiled. “Thanks for thinking of this. I think it’ll be good for all of us.”

They pulled into the parking lot and saw Sylvie waiting at the boat. She gave Kelsey and Isabella a hand as they stepped aboard. Isabella looked up in time to see Carmen take Sylvie’s hand and pull her in for a kiss.

Isabella grinned. “Love is in the air,” she murmured.

Off they went towards St. John and what they hoped was a day of fun with friends.

Later that afternoon, after Kelsey and Isabella had done their last post, they snuck away for a walk on the beach. There were other vacationers spread out across the sand, but it wasn’t crowded. Isabella took Kelsey’s hand in hers as they wandered along, letting the water lap at their feet.
