Chapter Twenty

Stephen

We woke up around ten the next morning, just lying in bed for a while, gazing out at the beautiful ocean before us.

“So, baby,” Trinity begins, “I know if you had your way, we’d spend most of our week right here in this bed, but…”

“Hold on, are you saying you don’t want to?”

Before she can respond, she catches my smirk and realizes I’m just teasing her.

She giggles. “You're such a goof. But seriously, what’s the plan for today, or are we just winging it?”

“Actually, babe, I did some research while planning this trip and there are a few things I want us to do while we’re on Koh Samui,” I tell her.

“We should be able to do them in three full days or spread them out, and then we can spend the rest of the days relaxing before we head to Phuket Koh Phi Phi.”

“That sounds perfect, my love,” Trinity says. “So what’s on the agenda for today?”

“First, you need to get that gorgeous backside up, showered, and dressed in hiking clothes and a swimsuit. Then we’ll grab some breakfast,” I say.

“After that, we’re heading to Namuang Safari Park where I’ve arranged for us to ride elephants. Then I thought we could visit Na Mueang Waterfalls, which is just a thirty-minute walk through a rainforest.”

“That sounds perfect, baby.” She gets out of bed and gently pulls me up. “Are you coming to shower?”

She winks at me and I chase her into the bathroom, her squeals echoing through the room.

We have a bit of fun in the shower before getting dressed and heading down for breakfast. As I step out of our villa, I see her standing there, hugging herself as she watches the waves crash against the shore, waiting for me.

When she hears me approaching, she turns to look at me and, as always, my breath catches in my throat.

“Ready to go, beautiful?”

“Absolutely, handsome.”

“You brought your swimsuit too?”

“Yeah, baby, I have our towels and your board shorts in the bag, and I’m wearing my swimsuit underneath.”

I take her hand and we start walking down to the breakfast bar. I’m at the bar ordering drinks while Trin secures us a table when I spot a juice I know she’ll love.

I bring it back to our table and gently kiss her on the head. “For you, beautiful.”

She smiles softly at me and takes a sip. She groans. “Oh, this is amazing, try it, babe.”

She hands me the straw and I take a sip. It’s heavenly.

We share a fruit and bagel platter for breakfast before I take the backpack from her and we head down to the scooter hire.

“So, where is this Safari park?”

“It’s just under an hour from here,” I say. “One of the staff recommended a shop just down the road where we can rent a scooter. It’ll be easier than getting tuk tuks or taxis in Thailand.”

We head to the shop and I provide all the necessary ID. They tell us it’ll be 2500 baht for the week, which is definitely a better option.

I pay for it and they bring the scooter around to the front, giving us directions and a map to the Safari Park.

I hop on the scooter and pass her the backpack to put on. She gets on behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist, one hand resting higher as she gently strokes my chest.

We set off, enjoying the fresh sea air on our faces and the warm sun beaming down on us.

With my baby wrapped around me, feeling relaxed, I take one of her hands in mine, our fingers entwined as we take in the sights.

About an hour later, we arrive at the Safari Park and lock up the scooter.

We tell the staff that we’ve booked the Elephant rides and plan to hike up to the waterfalls afterward.

They take our bag and scooter keys and put them in a locker while we change into our swimsuits.

When we return, they hand us a key on a chain, which I put around my neck, knowing our belongings are safe.

We don’t have to wait long before our guide comes to introduce us to our rides for the day.

The elephants are intimidatingly large, but they’re like overgrown children, rolling on their sides, wanting their tusks scratched, flicking mud at each other, and sizing us up.

“They’re beautiful,” Trinity says, mesmerized.

“Aren’t they?”

Being so close to these magnificent creatures is humbling. I feel small and insignificant in comparison.

I look over at my wife and smile. Her excitement is palpable, lighting up her face.

“Ready to go, baby?” I ask.

“I’m so ready. I’m so excited!”

I blow her a kiss. “Let’s do this.”

We climb onto the elephants with the help of our guides and start our journey through the lush rainforest.

We reach a deeper clearing and the guides warn us that the elephants like to splash water here.

I watch as Trin goes through first, then follow her.

After about an hour, we return. She runs to me, throwing her arms and legs around me as I pick her up and swing her around.

“Thank you, baby,” she says, her smile radiant. “That was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it, my love.”

“Look, babe, I took this when you were crossing back at the bridge.” She shows me a photo of myself on the ride.

I kiss her softly before we thank our guides and tip them for their time. They’re appreciative and encourage us to come back many times.

We stroll over to our locker, unlocking it to retrieve our backpack. It's filled with essentials for our trip to the falls: bottled water, towels, and our swimwear.

After locking it back up, scooter key safely tucked inside, we set off on the path leading to the falls.

The walk is a breezy thirty minutes, and about ten minutes in, we can already hear the soothing sound of freshwater cascading over rocks.

When we finally emerge from the path into the clearing, we're both taken aback by the sheer beauty of the scene before us.

Thankfully, there aren't many people around, allowing us to fully appreciate the falls without the distraction of a crowd.

“Are we going in?” I ask.

“Of course!” She grins at me.

I peel off my shirt, stowing it in the backpack. I glance over to see my girl slipping out of her denim shorts and shirt, revealing a stunning yellow bikini that complements her tan perfectly.

I realize I've been staring a bit too long.

“Would you like a photo, baby? It'll last longer than staring,” she teases, smirking at my obvious appreciation of her body.

“Actually, I would,” I reply, a devilish smile playing on my lips as I bite my lip, my eyes roaming over her body, imagining being inside her again.

Her eyes darken and her mouth drops open slightly at my words. Seizing the moment, I snap a photo. Damn, she looks good.

“Fuck,” I mutter.

She licks her lips, watching me. “Something wrong, hubby?”

“Come here, you fucking tease.” I pull her towards me by the string of her bikini, crashing my lips onto hers.

My hand roams to her backside, grabbing a handful as I groan into her mouth. I have to force myself to pull back before I get too carried away, remembering where we are.

She watches as I walk over to the ledge, preparing to dive in.

I plunge in without a second thought, surprised by the refreshing coolness of the water.

I pull myself up and climb back up to her, about to dive in again when I catch her snapping a sneaky photo of me.

She's engrossed in the picture she just took, and I quietly swim over without her noticing.

When my hand closes over her ankle, she looks up in surprise. I smile at her, and she returns it with an adoring look.

Our eyes meet, and when she sees the heat, the hunger in mine, her body trembles with anticipation.

I love her reaction to me, every time! Using my strong shoulders, I surge up from the water onto her rock, revealing my eager manhood.

“Babe, wait,” she murmurs, breathless, confused by her own reactions, aroused beyond anything she'd felt before.

“Wait for what, Mrs. Gotti?” I tease, leaning over her, urging her down.

I know how much it drives her wild when I call her by my name. My lips find hers and she trembles under my touch, the heat growing within her.

“Mm… baby, not here,” she breathes, but she arches under me as my hand cups her breasts, my thumbs stroking her nipples.

Her legs part of their own accord, as if urging me to settle closer to her. I shift, my hard body now nestled between her legs, and she moans her desire.

“I can't get enough of you… you’re so delicious,” I murmur as I trail my tongue up her neck.

I growl, as if that was enough. I lower my mouth to suck on her neck, occasionally dragging my teeth along the sensitive skin.

My hands stroke her hips and up her sides as I grab her arms, wrapping them around my neck and shoulders as I press into her.

Her nails drag up my shoulders and up to my neck as we kiss deeply, absorbing each other's love.

I finally start to pull away from her and take her hand.

“I need to go cool off and get this down,” I say, pressing my erection into her side.

“Okay baby, I'll be with you in a minute.”

“No way, you’re coming with me now.” I scoop her up and carry her into the water with me.

She shifts onto my back, her legs locked around my neck as I swim out closer to the falls with her on my back.

We bask in the coolness of the water together, a welcome relief from the morning's heat, before heading back up to relax on our towels.

As we’re lounging, something drops near us. We look up to see a group of wild monkeys, a common sight on the islands, we've been told.

They seem just as curious about us as we are about them, and we take the time to offer them some water and the little snacks we brought with us.

I watch her reach up to one of the smaller ones to feed it, a smile spreading across my face as I snap a picture of the moment.

It's been the most perfect day we could have asked for, and making these beautiful memories together is just the icing on the cake.
