They walk to the back of the house and Dart points at a tree house in the highest tree in the garden. Jo smiles and imagines him and Pierre in there. Dart pulls her along a tiny trail through the bushes, with a wide smile on his face. On the other side of the bushes is a large fence and behind it is a small house with a small backyard. Dart chuckles and runs his fingers over the fence, until he finds what he is looking for. He fiddles with the mesh of the fence and then pushes part of it forward, revealing a hole to crawl through.

He has to squeeze his body through, but eventually manages and says with a smile: "Not scrawny any more." He holds his hand out to Jo and helps her crawl through it. He stands there, holding her hand and says: "That's Pierre's childhood home. It always felt so welcoming to me, it still does really. Let's see if his mom is home." They walks towards the backdoor and about halfway down, the door flies open and a woman runs out. She pulls Dart into a warm hug, talking to him in rapid French. She looks him over and pinches his cheek. 

Jo looks at the scene with amusement. Pierre's mother has a soft body and really lively, brown eyes. She looks like the loving mum from a children's book. The kind that kisses your scraped knee and mends broken hearts. The woman suddenly notices Jo and apologizes in French. Jo smiles at her and Dart introduces her as the woman of his dreams. 

The woman reaches for her hair and pulls one of her curls with a smile. She asks something in French and Dart smiles while he answers her. Jo looks at them and Dart explains: "Madame Aimant knows about the comic. She said the curls and the soft body are there, but she wanted to know if you were strong too. I said you were."

They go inside and Jo gets handed a photo album, filled with pictures of Dart and Pierre. Jo smiles at the boys, looking so happy together, while Dart talks to Mrs. Aimant. Jo turns the page and sees a picture of Dart and Pierre, with a girl in between them. She seems older. She looks a bit like Pierre's mother though. And then it clicks, it must be Pierre's sister. 

Dart notices the change in Jo's demeanor and glances at the photo album. His face turns white and he looks away from the picture, but Mrs. Aimant notices it and asks him something. Dart answers reluctantly and avoids eye contact with Jo. Jo starts to feel very uncomfortable and closes the album. She gets up and walks out into the garden. Dart tries to follow her, but Mrs. Aimant grabs his arm and urges him to sit down. 

Jo looks up at the sky and hears her phone ring. She pulls it out of her pocket and sees it's Pierre. She picks up, a bit surprised and says: "Pierre?" 

"Jo. My mother texted me. Are you okay? You're in our backyard, right?" 

Jo sighs and says: "I'm in the backyard." She chooses to avoid answering if she is okay. 

"Do you see a shed to your right?" 

Jo looks to her right and says: "Yes." 

She can hear Pierre smile and he says: "Go over there and look inside." Jo walks over to the shed and opens the door. She steps inside and looks around. The walls are covered in drawings and there's an old sofa, surrounded by comics. 

"Wow, Pierre. Did you draw all these?" Pierre tells her about spending hours in the shed with Dart. 

"I drew whatever he came up with. And we would read and discuss comics together, playing our favorite music." Jo looks around and finds a Bon Jovi tape. She chuckles and Pierre asks her what she found. She tells him and he says: "Oh yeah, we loved Slippery When Wet. We didn't understand half of it. But loved it all the same." Jo relaxes and sits down on the sofa. 

She says: "I wish I could show you my childhood room. There's a Bon Jovi poster on my wall there." 

Pierre notices the change in her voice and breathes out: "For real? You loved Bon Jovi too?" 

Jo laughs and says: "Yeah. I wish I grew up around you guys. We could have had a lot of fun together." 

Pierre stays silent and then says: "Yeah maybe. But I doubt you would have been with Dart now, if that were the case. Maybe it's better this way. You seem solid together."

Jo thinks for about everything for a while and then says: "You sure talked a lot for the quiet one." 

Pierre chuckles and says: "My mother made me. She is scary when she's mad. She was worried about you and basically said: "Make sure the woman of Dart's dreams doesn't walk away. Call her now, she's in the backyard. That damn sister of yours screws everything up." 

Jo thinks about it all in silence and then says: "I don't think Dart has dealt with what happened between him and your sister at all. He turned white as a sheet when he saw her picture." 

Pierre says: "I don't think that is why. He feels very ashamed about that time in his life. He seems to think he let me and my parents down, because he let my sister have her way with him. While we all think it was all my sister's fault. She is still the same way really. Right now she is the mistress of a married politician and banging a famous singer. And those are the ones we know about. I think he might also be worried that you will think less of him." 

Jo thinks about it all and says: "Stop talking Pierre! You have said so much, it's starting to scare me." 

Pierre bursts out in laughter and says: "It's all your fault, you are easy to talk to. Now wait there. Dart will come to you."

Jo leans back on the sofa and closes her eyes with a sigh. Within a minute, Dart comes rushing in and kneels down before her. He takes her face in his hands and says: "I thought you were gone. I wanted to follow you, but madame Aimant stopped me. She said she needed to talk to me and that Pierre would take care of you? And then he texted me you were here..." 

Jo sees the worry and confusion in his eyes and strokes his hair. "Calm down, handsome. I'm here." Dart sits down on the sofa and rubs his neck. Jo gets up and straddles him, looking deep into his eyes. He takes a deep breath and then looks into her eyes as he starts talking. 

"I have been so ashamed of myself ever since that thing with Pierre's sister. I felt like an idiot for falling for it and I felt like I had lost the family that truly cared for me. Pierre and his parents were always there for me. I could always come here and be myself and that was enough. I didn't realize how guilty I still felt about it. And then when I told you about it... I convinced myself that your feelings for me would change. But after talking to Pierre's mum, I realized it was all in my head. They never judged me for it, they blamed their daughter from the start." 

He sighs and looks down, but Jo lifts his chin up and says: "Listen to me carefully. I know how weird it is to walk around in your memories with me. I felt the same way when we were in The Netherlands. It messes with your mind. But I will never love you any less. Only more. You just need to talk to me about it. Because if you stay silent, I will make up stories in my head that are way worse than the truth. I love you, forever." Dart kisses her and says: "Honestly. I feel like such a weak boy. And I thought that awkward boy was gone after all those years."

Jo smiles and says: "It is so amazing to find out you are human. Have you looked in the mirror lately? You look like every woman's dream. Sex on a stick is what my mom said. But you allow me to see passed the outside, into the inside. And it shows me how you came to be such an amazing, understanding, loving man. You became the man you are now, because of everything you've been through. Because you know what it's like to be betrayed, you know what it's like to hit rock bottom. And on top of the looks and the life experience, you also know exactly how to use your body to satisfy a woman." 

She laughs and pulls on his hair. He graces her with his signature crooked smile and Jo holds two hands to her chest, like he shot her. He kisses her neck softly, nibbling on her skin and then looks at her with a wicked smile. Jo is about to ask him what he's thinking, when he puts his mouth on her neck and sucks hard on her skin. He raises his head and smiles at the dark mark on her skin, tracing the outline with his finger. 

 Jo stares at his face and says: "Marking your territory? And you seem happy with it." He gets out his phone and takes a picture of her neck. 

Jo raises her eyebrows and Dart says: "Sending it to Pierre." 

Jo shakes her head and asks: "Why?" 

Dart looks at his phone and says: "Wait for it." His phone beeps and he smiles wide when he sees the message Pierre sent. Dart wants to hand his phone to Jo, but then realizes it's in French and explains it to her. "We spent hours in here when we were younger and made a bet on who would be the first to give a girl a hickey in the shed. That never happened, until now. This was my chance to win that bet. And now Pierre is pissed." 

Dart looks all proud of himself and Jo says: "It's basically Pierre's doing though. He led me here. So it's kinda his hickey too." 

Jo laughs and Dart pulls her close with a growl: "No it's not. My mouth did that on your skin and you're mine." 

Jo laughs some more and says: "You should at least thank him." 

"Shut up Jo. I'll cover you in them." 

Jo stares into his eyes and says: "I can think of a few places I would like to receive one." She sees Dart's eyes darken and gets up quickly. "Not in here though. That's definitely too weird for your teenage brain to handle." Jo runs out and Dart chases after her, tickling her the second he reaches her. Jo laughs and squirms, begging for mercy.

Pierre's mum is standing in the back door and looks very relieved to see them laughing together. She waves at them and they wave back, thanking her. Dart takes her hand into his again and starts walking. Jo looks at him and sees he's completely relaxed now and smiles softly. He turns to her and says: "Do you feel like tasting my favorite French cake? And might I add, I don't mind sharing." 

 Jo laughs and says: "I would love to." 

Dart takes her over to a tiny bakery and kisses the lady behind the counter on her cheeks. He talks to her for a bit and orders clafoutis. They sit down at a small table in the back of the bakery and Dart says: "You're going to love it. There are cherries in it. And it's served warm." He looks so excited waiting for it, that Jo gets excited along with him. 

The lady of the bakery comes up to them and puts one plate with a big piece on it in the center of the table, handing them both a fork and saying: "Bon Appetit". Jo thanks her and the smell alone makes her drool. Dart looks at her with shiny eyes and sticks his fork into it, before holding his fork out to her. Jo opens her mouth and takes the bite from his fork. 

She closes her eyes and is impressed by the flavors. The fluffy, warm custard with the slightly bitter cherries, go together perfectly. She opens her eyes and catches Dart staring at her. She smiles at him and says: "It's amazing. I love it!" Jo feeds him a piece and watches him enjoy it. They eat the rest of the clafoutis, smiling at each other. It's such a fun, simple moment together and they love every second of it.

They walk around the city, holding hands and Dart suddenly pulls her towards a cafe. Jo reads the name: Le Comptoir Des Chats. They walk in and Jo looks around, getting very excited. It's a cafe full of cats! She sits down on a couch and a huge grey cat walks up to her. Jo pets him carefully and before she knows it, he's on her lap, looking very happy. Dart talks to a waitress and the woman points at Jo. Dart laughs and walks over to Jo, saying: "That cat on your lap, hasn't warmed up to anyone here. They even thought about removing him from the cafe." 

Jo looks shocked and scratches the cat under his chin and asks: "This cutie? Look how sweet he is." 

Dart shakes his head smiling. "Only you, Jo. People and animals all warm up to you. Especially the socially awkward ones." Jo pets the cat happily and the cat rewards her by purring loud and leaving  holes in her jeans from kneading. Dart sits down next to her and the cat looks at him. Jo puts her hand on Dart's lap and pets the cat with her other hand. The cat seems to think about it and then gets up from her lap to sit down on Dart's lap. Dart holds his breath and carefully pets it's grey fur. 

Jo smiles and says: "You seem to have the same power today, handsome." 

Dart smiles wide and says: "It's probably your doing. He knows you love me. I still feel very honored though." The cat is done with the attention and walks over to the window to lay down in the sun. Jo and Dart get up and are about to walk out, when the waitress runs up to Jo and hugs her tight. Jo looks a bit surprised, but hugs her back. The walk out holding hands and a smile on their faces.

Dart's phone beeps and he looks at the screen. He turns to Jo and says: "Laurent wants to know if we can come to the hotel tonight. And if we can, if we would be so kind to dress up." Jo immediately says yes and Dart raises an eyebrow at her. "Just yes. Not why? Or maybe?" 

Jo laughs and says: "You in a suit... So yes." Dart laughs and texts Laurent back, saying they will be there. They walk around and Dart stops in front of a shop. He looks at Jo and back at the shop window and pulls her inside. He greets the man inside and continues the conversation in rapid French. The man looks Jo over and nods, before walking through a door in the back. 

Dart smiles at Jo and says: "I think you should go into the dressing room over there. Oh and don't get stressed. The guy is French AND gay." Before Jo can ask what he means by that, she's pushed into the dressing room by the Frenchman. He hands her the beautiful, purple dress Dart was looking at in the window. The top is lace and off-shoulder, there's a bow around the waist and the skirt is a little bit longer at the back and flares out. 

The man pulls at her T-shirt and Jo panics for a second and then remembers what Dart said. She takes her clothes off and the man helps her into the dress, pulling the straps of her bra down from her shoulders and hiding them inside the dress. He kisses his fingers and steps out of the dressing room. Jo steps out after him, feeling a bit insecure and looks over at Dart. Dart stares at her, before pinching himself. Jo laughs and she says: "That pretty?" 

Dart says: "Oh my love, you already were. But this dress accentuates all of that's pretty very well." The man from the store asks Dart something in French and Dart seems surprised, but nods. The man walks into the back room again and comes back with a tie in the exact same colour as Jo's dress and a magazine. He opens the magazine and shows it to Dart. Dart smiles and the man hands him a pen. Dart signs the page and the man comes over to Jo with the pen. Jo looks at the magazine and then she gets it. It's the add for Tom Tailor's Suits. Jo signs the page with a smile and the man thanks her happily. 

He then points at her feet and asks her in a thick accent: "Shoes?" Jo shakes her head and the man runs off again, coming back with gorgeous purple pumps. Jo tries them on and they fit like a glove. The man walks over to Dart and they discuss something. In the end the man packs up the dress, tie and shoes and thanks them over and over. Dart walks out laughing and explains to Jo what just happened. "You just got yourself a dress and shoes for free. And I got a free tie out of it." 

Jo turns to him and says: "What? That dress is worth a fortune." 

"He recognized us from the campaigns we did together and wanted you to wear one of his dresses. He asked for one thing in return, that you share pictures on social media, wearing that dress and tag him in it. He gave me his card and he was super excited about it." 

Jo still can't believe it and says: "I better make him proud then. So where do I go to buy some make-up?" Dart guides her over to a big department store and Jo quickly picks up eye shadow, lipstick and nail polish in the same shade as the dress.

They walk back to the house and see Claire sitting outside in the sun. She smiles at them and welcomes them back. Dart tells her that Laurent invited them over to the hotel tonight. They eat soup together and talk about the wedding. Claire says she can't wait to fly out to Venice Beach for the wedding. Dart tells her about Jake. 

Jo goes upstairs with her outfit and make-up to get ready. After a while she looks at herself in the mirror and is happy with what she sees. She braided the top half of her hair, the bottom half is wild and loose. Her purple eye shadow makes her eyes look like they are a lighter blue and the lipstick and nail polish match perfectly. She winks at herself in the mirror and wonders if Dart is still downstairs. She walks over to the stairs and then her heart skips a beat. 

Dart is standing at the bottom of the stairs, in a grey suit with the purple tie. His hair back, his phone in his hand and his signature smile on his lips. Claire stands next to him and applauds happily. Jo smiles down at them and slowly descends the stairs. Dart films her with his phone, narrating it in French. When she reaches him at the bottom of the stairs he whispers: "Wow Jo. You look fantastic." Jo leans in for a kiss and Dart turns the camera to film it. He stops the recording and posts it on social media, tagging Jo, the store and the designer. 

He turns to his mum and says: "We'll probably sleep at the hotel tonight. But we'll come back tomorrow to say goodbye to you properly, before we fly back to LA." 

Claire nods and says: "Go and have fun kids. You look amazing together. Shall I take a picture of the two of you together?" Dart hands Claire his phone and they both smile wide for the picture. 

Dart checks the picture and says: "We really do look amazing together." He posts it on social media as well and then says goodbye to his mother. Jo says goodbye to Claire too and they drive off to the hotel.

Dart parks the car and types something on his phone, before helping Jo out of the car. He looks her over again and winks at her. "Let's knock 'em dead love." Jo hooks her arm through Dart's and looks up at him with a smile. They arrive at the entrance and Laurent opens the door for them. Jo sees flashes and hears people applaud and cheer, before she sees the camera's and people. She recovers from the shock pretty quickly and slaps on her model face, smiling wide. Dart kisses her cheek and whispers: "Surprise." 

Laurent positions himself next to Jo and holds up his hand. He waits for the people to go silent, before he starts to speak in English and says: "Dear Jo, this is the launch party for 'Fight Like A Girl'. This all wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for you. So thank you for saving one of our maids, but mostly for opening your smart mouth. It gave us this wonderful plan." Laurent kisses her cheek and the poster Pierre made shows up on a big screen. 

Laurent continues in lightning fast French and Dart pulls her close and whispers in her ear: "You're a star Jo. An absolute star." He listens to Laurent and says: "He turned it into a perfectly worked out plan, that other hotels can implement easily. Posters, self-defense teachers and even the once a month high tea with the girls. And every month one of the maids gets a picture of themselves, drawn by Pierre." 

Jo says: "He did all that in such a short time? Wow. And the girls are going to love the picture made by Pierre." Jo watches Laurent hand out press kits and sees all the impressed faces in the crowd. 

He comes up to Jo and says: "Would you be so kind to pose for a picture with the real stars here?" He points at the maids, standing in a row and all smiling at her. Jo walks over to them and they make room in the middle, next to the maid she saved. Jo wraps her arms around the two girls beside her and smiles wide. 

One of the photographers yells: "Fight like a girl!" And Jo poses with her fists raised and the girls follow suit. 

The girl she saved hugs her tight, when the pictures are taken and says in her best English: "Thank you Jo. It's a lot better now." Jo hugs her back warmly. The other girls want a hug too and Jo gives them all a chance to hug her.

Dart watches it all from a distance with Laurent, both of them smiling. "Jo made me famous. Well in France at least. A lot of people are interested in the plan. And it's good publicity for the hotel too." Pierre walks up to them and hugs them both. 

Dart says: "The art looks awesome Pierre." Pierre smiles and says: "Thanks for bringing Jo here. For sharing her with us. Because that is some amazing woman you've got there. I can't believe she is real." Laurent nods and tells them to follow him to the bar.

The group of maids take Jo over to the bar too and offer her a glass of champagne. The girls are all very excited to be allowed to party themselves in the hotel. One of the girls speaks English pretty well, so she stays close to Jo to translate things. Jo laughs with them and sees Dart sitting down with Pierre and Laurent at the other side of the bar. The girl next to her asks if she really is engaged to the handsome man. And Jo asks: "Which one?" The girls around her all giggle and Jo says: "They are all quite handsome." They all agree and Jo says: "But the one in the purple tie is mine!" The girl translates for her and the girls all stare at Dart. 

Dart notices it and winks at the girls. They all blush and squeal. Jo laugh and says: "We should ask them to dance. I need two volunteers." She looks at the girl she saved and says: "You should ask Laurent." The girl blushes a deep red, but nods anyway. Jo raises her fist and winks at her. "So who is dancing with Pierre?" The girl that translated it all responds quickly with a nod. Jo gets up and starts walking with the two girls in tow. She asks the bartender for a slow song and he nods at her. She walks over to the guys, sporting a cheeky smile. 

Dart gets up to kiss her softly and Jo says: "We would like to dance guys. I'm taking this man, but I brought you both a girl too." She looks at Pierre and Laurent. Pierre looks a bit nervous, so Jo leans over to him and says: "Imagine how nervous she is and yet she still had the guts to come over here." Jo introduces Pierre to the girl and the girl smiles shyly at him. 

Jo turns to Laurent, who looks at her with an amused smile. "I suggest you leave the arrogant mask at the bar and give her the dance of her life." She winks at him and brings the girl over. Laurent bows for her and the girl blushes once again. The girl puts her hand in his and Jo smiles. Dart lifts her up and walks away from the rest, finding a perfect spot to dance. Jo wraps her arms around his neck and his arms slide around her waist. A slow, French song starts to play and Dart holds her close as he sways. He kisses her slowly, before looking over at Laurent and Pierre.

 Laurent is still dancing with the girl and they seem to be pretty comfortable with each other. Pierre looks a bit shy, but he is trying. When the song changes to an uptempo one, all the other girls join in. Dart smiles at the sight of all those happy girls, most of them surrounding Pierre. He walks Jo over to one of the couches and sits down. Jo sits down too and snuggles up to him, looking at the girls with the two guys. Pierre manages to escape and sits down next to Jo. Dart asks: "Beer?"

 And Jo and Pierre answer at the same time: "Yes!" Jo laughs with Pierre and Dart gets up to get beers for them. Pierre stares at her neck and then Jo remembers the hickey. 

She smiles at him and says: "I teased Dart with it terribly. Told him it was basically yours too, because you led me to the shed." 

Pierre laughs and says: "Hmm, here he comes." Pierre moves nearer to Jo and studies her neck up close. Jo can feel his breath on her skin and Pierre whispers: "Let's pray he doesn't kill me." Jo bites her lip to hide her smile and leans her head back. Dart puts the beers on the table and glares at Pierre. 

"What the hell, Pierre?" Dart sits down and grabs Jo, pulling her close. Jo hides her face against his chest to hide her smile. 

She's shocked when she hears Pierre answer in a pretty steady voice: "I was just inspecting the hickey. And debating if I should give her one myself on the other side. Since the first one is already half mine." Jo looks up at Dart's mortified face and then he meets her eyes, seeing she's trying not to laugh. He growls and places his lips on the other side of her neck, he sucks hard, glaring at Pierre while he does it. He inspects his work and smiles, pointing at it. 

"Mine. All mine." Laurent walks up and looks down at Dart. 

"Jeez, Dart. You're already engaged. No need to stake your claim." Jo bursts out in laughter and Pierre joins in. Dart still looks annoyed and Laurent sits down next to Pierre. 

Jo looks around and asks: "Did the girls go home?" 

Laurent says: "Yes, I arranged taxi's to get them home safely." His eyes rest on Jo's neck and he says: "You have a hickey on this side too? Dart!" Pierre chuckles and picks up his beer from the table. Jo does the same and takes a sip. Laurent gets up again and says: "Come with me Dart and explain. I need a whiskey." Dart glares at Pierre and Jo and follows Laurent.

Pierre looks at Jo and says: "I thought he was going to kill me for sure." 

Jo laughs and says: "I don't think I've ever seen him so possessive." Jo sips her beer and then looks over at Pierre, thinking something over. "Pierre? How busy are you these days?" 

Pierre gives her a questioning look and says: "Busy enough. Why?" 

Jo says: "Would you be interested in creating art for our wedding invitations?" 

Pierre's jaw drops and he needs a few moments, before a wide smile appears on his face. "I would love to! Can it be funny?" 

Jo smiles and says: "It has to be funny!" Jo shakes his hand to seal the deal. 

Dart and Laurent come back and sit down next to them. Jo looks Dart over to see how he's feeling and Laurent says: "I have always been worried about the day one of them would find a girlfriend. Worried about the girlfriend that is. Poor Jo, covered in hickeys." 

Dart chuckles and says: "Not yet, but she will be soon." Jo slaps his shoulder and Laurent and Pierre yell out his name. 

Laurent says: "So juvenile. Honestly." 

Dart says: "You say that, but even Pierre was tempted to give Jo one. I'm sure you would love to as well." 

Laurent tilts his head and looks Jo over with a smoldering look. "Hmm, she does look extra yummy in that dress. What does she taste like, Dart?" Jo moves closer to Dart, as Laurents words made her uncomfortable. 

Dart pulls her against him and says: "You know I am able to punch your lights out with ease these days, right?" 

Pierre says: "And so is Jo!" They all burst out in laughter and the air is instantly cleared. Laurent apologizes to Jo, explaining to her that it was just to tease Dart. 

Jo says: "He did ask for it." 

Dart pulls her onto his lap and says: "You've been asking for it all night, in that dress." 

Jo smiles at him playfully and says: "You picked it mister." Dart kisses her slow and deep, hugging her tight. 

Laurent coughs and says: "You know the penthouse is booked for you again, right?" 

Pierre laughs and says: "Yeah, use it." Laurent holds out the key card to Dart and Dart asks Jo to take it from him. Dart stands up with Jo in his arms and walks away. Jo waves at the guys and they wave back, with an amused look on their faces.

Dart unzips her dress in the elevator and kisses her so passionately that Jo can't think of anything else but him. The second the elevator doors open, Dart carries her to the bed and lays her down on it while kissing her neck, moving down to her collarbone and her bra. Jo moans and tilts her head back, pulling his hair. He quickly undoes her bra and drives her crazy with his mouth on her breasts. Jo pulls him closer by his tie and begs him to take his clothes off. She removes her last pieces of clothing and he undresses himself slow and teasingly, wearing nothing but his signature smile when he lays down on top of her. 

Jo's desire rises fast and higher than it's ever been, because his mouth and hands seem to be everywhere at once. She whispers his name, drowning in a sea of lust. She feels her consciousness slip away, but Dart brings her back by quickly filling her up with his desire. Jo holds her breath for a second and he waits for her to catch up. Jo bites her lip, staring deep into his eyes. He moves slow and deep, making her moan loud. He moans himself, while he kisses her frantically and their release comes quickly and simultaneously. 

Dart holds her tight as he flips over, laying down on his back with Jo on top of him. Jo's eyes are still glazed over and her breathing is erratic, matching his heartbeat. Jo nuzzles up to his neck and tries to calm down, but she can still feel electric shocks go through her body. Dart carefully stokes her hair, trying not to touch her too much for both their sakes. He closes his eyes, telling himself to trust the love. That she's right here, in his arms, forever. It's still so hard to believe, but his heart is already there. His mind will get there.

He opens his eyes quickly, when he feels a sharp, but also pleasant pain on his neck. Jo felt he was miles away and took that opportunity for her sweet revenge. She uses her teeth first and then sucks on the skin of his neck, hard. Dart tries to hide his moan and bites his lip. Jo lifts her head up and inspects the result with a cheeky smile. She runs her finger over it and says: "Perfect. Let's hope it lasts a long time." 

Dart chuckles and hugs her tight. "I deserved that one. I might have liked it a little though." 

"Oh really?" Jo scrapes her teeth over his chest and he shudders. Jo laughs softly and says: "I'll remember that, handsome." She puts her head down on his chest and whispers: "Thank you."

He is about to ask her what she's thanking him for, but he hears her steady breathing and knows she fell asleep. He holds her close and whispers: "I love you, so much." His mind drifts, thinking about marrying her on the beach and he eventually falls asleep with a smile.
