"Danny?" Michelle asks as Danny slips a blindfold over her eyes. "What are you doing?"
"I'm kidnapping you," says Danny, laughing as he gently takes her by the waist, steering her towards the door.
"Where are you taking me?" Michelle asks, giggling.
"Now, I can't tell you that!" exclaims Danny as he helps her down the stairs of the Santos house in Majorca. "It's a surprise!"
"Oh...okay," pouts Michelle.
"Come on silly!" says Danny, laying a kiss on her pouting lips. She immediately smiles.
He takes her by the hand and guides her down a long and narrow trail. They walk about half a mile before Danny brings her to a halt.
"We're here, princess!" says Danny, clearly excited. "Are you ready to find out where you are?"
"Yes!" says Michelle grinning, loving this game he's so gleefully playing with her.
"Okay," says Danny, pulling her into a hug. He leans down a bit and whispers in her ear, "We're in the middle of no where on our own private beach."
His voice drops to a seductive level. "We're in our own private kingdom."
Michelle sighs, contentedly, and a little impatiently.
"Can I see my private kingdom, your highness?"
"Si Senora," laughs Danny as he turns her around and removes her blindfold.
Michelle reaches for Danny's hand, then slowly opens her eyes. her gaze, half blurred from wearing the blindfold for so long, feel on one of the most beautiful sand castles she had ever seen.
Her face lights up, her eyes shine, and she laughs with pleasure at this gift Danny created for her. Danny thinks he's never seen her look more beautiful.
"Oh Danny! It's gorgeous!" she cries, running over to look at her castle more closely.
It rises up out of the sand, majestic in height. Numerous turrets and towers are surrounded by a wide moat, decorated with seashells and starfish.
Danny watches her, obviously delighted with her castle and he delighted with her reaction. Michelle runs over and quickly kisses him on the mouth. Danny grabs her in a huge hug, so thankful that she loves him and that they are together.
"So you like it?" Danny asks her with a grin.
"Like it? I love it! When did you do this?"
"Last night while you were asleep. I figured you wouldn't wake up, I wore you out on purpose." He laughs as she lightly punches in the stomach. "I did have a little help," he admits, a tad bit sheepishly.
"Who?" asks Michelle, reaching up and planting a small kiss on his chin, her eyes dancing merrily.
"A cousin. You'll meet him later. We used to build castles like this here every summer."
"Wow," says Michelle, in awe. "I'm impressed."
Danny frowns down on her. "You need some sunscreen."
Danny pulls some out of his shorts pocket. "I figured you'd burn," he says grinning. He turns Michelle around and begins rubbing some on her shoulders and back. As he's working, Michelle excitedly asks him questions.
"Where are we Danny?"
"We are on my family's private beach. My family has owned this land for many generations. My great-great-great grandfather's grandfather claimed it a long time ago."
"Wow," Michelle breathed in amazement.
"Yeah," agreed Danny, holding her close and setting his chin on her head. "I've always loved coming here, have been since before I can remember. I have many happy memories here."
"Well, we're going to make many more happy memories here," says Michelle, turning around to hold him.
"So, this is a private beach, eh?" Michelle asks coyly.
"Yes," says Danny, grinning down at her.
"So, no one will find us here, right?" Michelle asks, reaching for the drawstring of his shorts.
"Nope, no one will find us. My family knows to stay away."
"So, you were prepared?"
Danny looks over behind him. There laying in a neat pile are a few blankets, a picnic basket, and some pillows.
"What do you think?" he asks mischievously.
"I think, you are my perfect Prince Charming!" says Michelle, letting him lead her to their private paradise.
