He grinned and nodded.

"I enjoy them also. Also enjoy having friends over to the house for parties."

She thought about it when he said that.

Candy: nice.. 

He held her hand as they talked.

"I don't want you to change just because we are married. I want you to still be you. I just want my wife in my bed at night."

She nodded as she understood that.

Candy: I can handle that. 

He kissed her softly.

"It's impossible not to like you. You are so sweet and beautiful."

She smiled when he said that as she was thinking about what he said, as she didn't think he was so bad either, not that he wasn't acting all crazy like she had first meant him.

Candy: You're not so bad yourself.

They were talking the rest of the flight. Getting to know more about each other.

When the plane landed, he held her hand as they walked into the airport.

"This should be quick since we didn't bring any luggage. They'll just need our ID and passport."

She nodded as she had all that in her purse anyways as she pulled it out and handed it over when she was asked , and then put it back away as they made there way out of the airport and to another waiting limo. 

He smiled as he slid in beside her.

"Three days in Rio."

He kissed her softly.

"I hope you really enjoy yourself while we are here."

She looked at him smiling warmly as she was thinking about it.

Candy: I love Rio. 

He smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Good. I'm glad I picked a place you like."

He looked into her eyes then kissed her softly.

"I am glad I met you."

She looked at him smiling warmly as she nodded her head as she was thinking about it.


Candy: I am glad I meant you too.. 

He saw the limo pull up at the hotel and smiled. He got out then held his hand out for his wife.

"Let's get checked in then we can do some shopping."

She nodded as she smiled warmly thinking about it.  They went checking in, checking there room out then went out to do some shopping to get some clothes and a few things they would need, and then were soon heading back to the hotel. 

He carried the bags to their room then slid his arms around his bride.

"What would you like to do now?"

She was thinking about it.

Candy: How about I take a quick shower, change and if you like we can go out on the town?

She said knowing that Rio was a real party area, but she wasn't dressed to party. 

He nodded and smiled softly.

"Would you like company in the shower?"

She nodded as she thought about it as she took his hand and lead him into the bathroom.  Once inside she turned on the water and then turned looking at him as she smiled starting to strip.. 

He undressed himself but kept his eyes on her as she undressed.

"You are even more beautiful than I first though. And you were breathtaking to me even then."

She looked at him as she smiled softly as she moved closer to him she wasn't really all that shy.

Candy: Thank you.

She said as she moved her hands over his chest a bit and to his shoulder looking at him as she smiled softly.  She then reached down taking his hand as she stepped into the shower taking him with her as she felt the water moving over her.. 

He stepped into the shower after her then slid his arms around her waist. He pulled her against him. He kissed her softly then looked into her eyes.

"As much as I want to make love to you right now, I'm not going to. Not yet."

He smiled softly at her when she looked up at him.

"You will be happy we waited. I promise."

She nodded as that was fine with her, as she didn't mind in waiting, didn't mean she wouldn't make him suffer a bit, as she took the soup as she started to wash him a bit, giving her husband some attention, showing that she was willing to work with him and give this a try.. 

He smiled when she started to wash him. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her softly.

"I like you very much, Candy Tyler."

She kissed him back as she looked up at him smiling warmly.

Candy: I like you, as well.. 

He couldn't help but smile when she said that. He didn't deserve for her to like him. Not after what he had done, but she did anyway.

He took the soap and put it in his hand. He lightly ran it over her shoulder.

She stood there letting him wash her as she smiled enjoying the attention.  Knowing that she was in good hands with him for some reason.. 

He took his time washing her as he learned the curves and feel of her body. He stopped a few times to kiss various spots.

He looked at her and smiled when he saw her watching him.

She stood there watching him as she smiled warmly as she did enjoy the attention and could tell he was enjoying what he was doing.

Candy: You keep doing that, then I don't think either us will be able to wait.

She teased.. 

He smiled when she said that then kissed her softly.

"It will make it all more enjoyable when the time comes."

She nodded a bit as she was just leaning back in a bit to let the water run over her, and to wash the soap away as she then turned the water off when they were done, he helped her out as they dried off, she went over to the bed where they put the bags down as she pulled out one of the dresses she bought.. 

He dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a red shirt then sat watching her get dressed.

"I bought you something while you were trying on clothes. I would be very happy if you would wear it."

She looked at him when he said that as she wondered what he had bought when she wasn't looking.

Candy: Okay?

She said as she waited. 

He smiled as he sat four small boxes on the dresser. He opened each one showing her a matching set of earrings, bracelet and necklace. The last box was her wedding ring.

"My wedding gifts to my beautiful bride."

She looked shocked as she was looking at the jewels as she smiled warmly touching them, he helped her put on the necklace and the bracelet as she then put on the earrings, he picked the box with the wedding ring as he opened it, showing it to her, looking proud of what he bought for her as he then took her hand putting the ring on her finger.

Candy: They are very beautiful, thank you, Steven.

She said smiling warmly as she was looking at him thinking about it.. 

He kissed her softly then smiled.

"You deserve the best for putting up with me."

She smiled warmly as she heard what he said as she was thinking about it.

Candy: I don't need a lot to make me happy, as long as we treat each other good, then I'm happy.

She said smiling warmly as she looked at him as she kissed him softly as she then went slipping into her heels.. 

He smiled at what she said.

"Get used to being spoiled. You are my wife now and I do love to spoil my women."

She looked at him when he said that as she smiled warmly she kissed him softly as she finished getting ready...

Candy; Are you ready for a night out on the town?

She asked as she knew Rio was they party destination, and knew he was wanting to go out and have a little fun before they had there fun back here.. 

He nodded and smiled as he looked her over.

"I want to show off how lucky I am to have you as my wife."

She smiled warmly when he said that thinking he was sweet, she kissed his cheek as they then left the hotel to have some fun... 

He let her decide where they would go that night. The next night would be his turn to take her somewhere. Then they would be going home so she could work.

He kept an arm around her waist as they walked.

"I have been here a few times, but was too out of it to be able to enjoy the city."

She laughed a bit when he said that.

Candy: I love Rio, I actually have a house here.

She pointed out, but thought he would rather stay at the hotel.

Candy: After I'm done with the movie we can come back and stay a couple weeks if you like, and I'll really show you around, show you the non tourist part of Rio.

She said as she was still taking him to a place that tourist didn't usually go, only locals knew, she got there as she saw the bouncer smiling as she talked to him a minute, hugging him, as they were then let in... 

He nodded and smiled as he followed her.

"We can add it to the list of places to visit on our trip."

She smirked a bit as she was thinking about it, he hadn't even had the chance to really see what this place was like, but she would give him the real tour the next time.. They made it to the corner got some drinks, and started to have fun dancing around, as she was saw how happy he looked.

He was having a blast dancing with his wife and partying. Well he was until his phone rang. He frowned seeing it was Sean. He answered it and listened to his son yelling at him.

He looked at Candy.

"Jesse's missing."

She frowned hearing that as they went outside of the club so they could talk and find out what was going on.. 

Sean was still yelling and accusing him of taking her. He had nothing to do with her being missing though. Now that he had Candy in his life, he wanted Sean and Jesse to be happy together.

He handed his phone to Candy hoping that she could calm him down.

He pulled into a parking lot so they could talk.

"You know he's married, don't you?"

He hadn't known that, but he would talk to Savannah later about it.

"I just don't want you hurt again, Jesse. You are my sister and I love you. I'm sorry if I'm being a bit overprotective of you."

He watched his sister and Sean then turned to Cheyenne.

"Can he be trusted with her?"

He saw her starting to leave and frowned.

"Wait a minute. I have a few more questions for you."

He looked at Cheyenne a moment.

"You are the woman that Sean faked being married to?"

He saw her nod.

"Explain all of that to me, please."

He knew how much Jesse had loved Sean before.

"You don't think Steven will bother her anymore?"

"He better."

He looked at Cheyenne and smiled a little.

"Thank you for helping them."

He reached out and put his hand on her arm stopping her again.

"Would you have dinner with me tonight?"

He smiled glad she agreed.

"Is now good, or do you need to go home for something?"

He nodded and smiled.

"Your car or mine?"

He nodded thinking that was a good idea.

"Where would you like to go?"

He nodded and walked to her car with her. He held the door and smiled then walked to his own car.

He drove down the street to the diner and pulled into the parking lot.

He waited for her to pull in and smiled.

"I've heard this place is pretty good."

He looked around inside and found an empty booth. He led her over there before someone else got to it.

"Place is pretty busy. Must be good."

He looked at the menu and knew what he was wanting. He sat the menu to the side and waited for Cheyenne to make her choice so they could talk.

He gave a little shrug.

"Nothing exciting like the rest of my family. I design and build houses."

He shrugged.

"Boring compaired to the rest of my family. Sister who is a judge. Sister who owns a strip club. Sister who works in the FBI lab."

He smiled when she said that.

"I really enjoy taking old homes, gutting them, then redesigning them. I redid Savannah's house for her when she bought it."

He smiled thinking about the work he had done for his family.

"I've been working on a house for Jesse. Would you like to see it?"

He smiled thinking about the house he was working on.

"I could actually use your help with it. I'm having trouble picking out the counters and backsplash for the kitchen and the tiles for the bathroom shower."

He was glad she was willing to help him.

"Maybe tomorrow? I can pick you up."

He grinned when their food was brought to them.

"That looks delicious."

He was happy to hear that. He hated ordering food then not being able to eat it.

"So tell me about yourself."

He was interested in seeing her work.

"I'm always looking for art to hang on the walls of the homes I do. Staging the homes is very important in selling them. Maybe we can work together sometime."

He nodded and smiled.

"I think that is a wonderful idea."
