She felt Elon behind her before his big hands settled over her shoulders and began to squeeze gently in a massaging fashion, his words whispered into her ear had tears falling, "I know what's going on honey. You're not on your own anymore. This little natural occurrence hasn't ruined anything and I'm not disappointed. I'm your husband and I want to help you. Now how does a nice hot shower followed by a several hour massage sound to you?"
Zora was speechless, but she managed to nod her head vigorously in acceptance to what was being offered. Then turning her head in order to meet her husband's eyes she said, "I love you!"
"I love you too sugar, but I have to warn you that during this several hour long massage I'm going to do my best to find your birthmark."
Zora burst out with a little laugh as some deep part of her relaxed. Elon moved around and scooped her up off the seat and headed toward the back of the plane. It was so good to be his woman.
Zora lifted her head off his shoulder to ask, "Are you sure you don't mind."
"I'm sure."
Zora smiled into the brightness of the rising sun that came through the open veranda and was spotlighted heavily on the bed that she lay on. It was the beginning of another wonderful day with her man.
She lifted herself up off the rumpled sheets only taking the time to rap the lacy shawl that lay on the floor around her bare form as then barefoot she headed for the veranda outside with its all-encompassing view of the ocean surrounding the island. She found Elon where she always did in a comfortable lounge chair with the sun at his back as he read the Bible.
Elon could quote the Bible forwards and backwards from cover to cover and yet he still liked to read it every chance he got. It was only one of the many things that she'd come to respect about him.
Zora stayed back from entering out onto the veranda. She leaned back against a warm column not wanting to interrupt Elon's quiet time with God.
They'd been on this island located off the shores of Greece in the Mediterranean for three weeks. It was one of Elon's very special retreats and it quite easily had become her favorite place on Earth mainly because of what had happened here.
She had been Elon's lover for a little over 2 ½ weeks now and they had been the best days of her life. Today was the start of their last week on the island before they had to leave and do good in the world at large as Elon put it.
