"What's wrong sweetheart?" He said. "Aren't you happy? Now we can get back to the real world and plan our lives together."
"I don't want this to end." She whispered. "I could stay on this island with you forever."
He hugged her close and kissed the top of her head again. "I know sweetheart, so could I. But you know we can't. We have to get back to the reality. Anyway, we own an island not far from here. We can come anytime and spend all the time you want out here."
"Is that what will really happen?" He set her down onto the sand, put his hands to her shoulders, and looked into her eyes.
"Melanie, don't worry. Nothing has changed. Everything I told you is true. It's going to happen just like we planned. Don't be afraid. Your old life is gone forever. I..." he stopped, "... we are going to take care of you forever."
That we made her heart sink. If Sebastian chose not to help them then they would struggle in worse poverty than even the bare survival she had before. If he did choose to help them, then he would be in control of their lives. She might never be free of him -- or of her desire for him.
"Tell me you love me." She said. He took her face into his hands, then cupping the back of her head and brushed her hair gently aside. He closed his eyes and then kissed her longingly, passionately.
"I love you." He said.
"Prove it." She whispered. "Make love to me right here, right now. This very second."
"Melanie..." He pleaded.
"Do it." She said. It was their last chance, before the dream was over forever.
He brought her gently down onto the forest floor, drew off the flight crew blazer she wore and gazed into her eyes. His lips pressed passionately to hers and his hand went lower to her waiting breasts, her abdomen, and her thighs.
"Oh. Excuse me sir." The startled pair looked up to see a professional looking man in his forties cast a shadow over them. "I'm sorry Mr. Drummond. I didn't mean to disturb you, but we need to go and your younger brother told me I might find you somewhere here in this direction."
They had been seen and the employee knew which brother he was. The choice was no longer in their hands.
Now the world would take over.
