I took Reyna to Italy after telling her about Leo. She was so broken-hearted, and I felt like the only way to get her back to her normal self was to get her away from everyone and everything. I wanted her to enjoy the culture that she never thought she was a part of. She deserved to know what it was like to breathe Italian air and allow it to whisk through her hair.

She was standing over the balcony of our hotel and she looked like a goddess. Her dress was shuffled by the wind as it clung to parts of her body.

Making my way over to her, I caged her in with the railing and leaned in to plant a kiss on the side of her neck.

"You're beautiful," I said. She smiled. I would never get enough of looking at her stunning smile. It tugged at my every heart string, singing a song about how I could never get tired of looking at her.

"Thank you," she responded.

"Come on. Let's go take a shower," I said suggestively. She whipped around just as I grasped ahold of her hand and began to lead her over to the bathroom. Our suite was the best the hotel could offer us, and with it came a shower large enough for the both of us.

"I love Italy," she whispered. "Everything is just so peaceful here."

I chuckled. Sometimes, I found myself missing not always having to live in chaos. I missed the memories I made here, and most of all, I missed my mother and sister.

I pulled down the zipper of her dress and ran the pads of my fingers down her spine. Once her dress was all the way unzipped, I watched it fall and pool at her feet. She was quick to undo my pants and push them down my legs just before going up to my shirt where she helped me out of it.

She was left in her panties while I was in nothing but my boxers. Biting her lip, she hooked her fingers onto the waistband of my boxers and pulled them off of me. I responded by slowly sliding her panties down her thighs, ignoring the wet spot that she had just for me. A smirk came across my features once it fell to the floor.

I turned on the shower before hooking my arm around Reyna's waist and kissing her. I kissed her like it was the last time I would ever get to kiss anyone. She responded with passion that had the perfect mix of lust as she bit down on my lip.

Reyna didn't protest as I stepped into the shower and dragged her in with me. A squeal fell from her lips as the warm water coated our bodies. My hands came down on her ass as I smacked both cheeks, enjoying the way they bounced against my hand.

Already, I was hardening against her stomach—especially when she turned around to grab some soap and a washcloth that the hotel left for us. My eyes were glued to her ass as she bent down to get them.

"Do you know what you're doing to me?" I asked her hungrily.

She moved her hips back and forth just before giggling. It was enough to send me over. I reached over and grabbed the detachable shower head where I pulled it down and placed it right between her legs. She gasped once the pressure of the water hit her clit.

"Oh!" she moaned. With my other hand, I tangled my fingers into her hair and pulled her closer to me. She wrapped her arms around my lower stomach, lightly clawing at my back every so often.

"How does it feel?" I wondered with a smirk. Her eyes were practically rolling to the back of her head, and I could visibly see her knees weakening at the feeling.

"Please..." she whimpered. I brought the shower head up so close to her pussy that it was almost touching it. She let out the loudest scream I had ever heard her make just as her grip on me tightened.

"Cum," I ordered her.

She didn't need to be told twice. She clamped down on the shower head and came just as I placed the shower head back in it's original position. Her breathing was heavy, but I didn't allow her to catch her breath. I quickly lifted her up by her thighs and slammed her against the wall where I easily slid inside of her.

"Damn, Reyna!" I moaned. "You feel so good."

She was perfectly snug. The texture of her vaginal walls massaged my dick in all the right ways. Her pussy was so wet, so slick with a mix of our juices—I believed I was in heaven.

Holding her up with my hips, I held her thighs against the shower wall and began to charge into her. I thrust inside just to come out before repeating the process all over again. I was drowning in her moans and whimpers and I sped up, going faster and faster.

Her pussy was squeezing around me, holding me so tightly that I never wanted to leave it. I saw her head was tossed off to the side as she exposed her neck to me. I slowly leaned in and sucked her skin into my mouth before biting down... hard.

"Santino!" she moaned.

Her body was rocking with each thrust and her beautiful tits were bouncing against my chest. I sped up even more, going in and out of her in a way I never thought was possible. I kept going even after she hunched against me after shaking in a orgasm. I went until my balls emptied out deep inside of her.

"Fuck!" I moaned.

Slipping out of her, I placed her back onto the ground. She was once again breathless as her chest had risen and fallen with each heavy inhale and exhale.

"Allow me to bathe you," I whispered into her ear.

I turned us around so that she was in the way of the water. I then grabbed her washcloth and soap before bathing her. I took my time lathering the soap on her skin—going over her skin, focusing on every scar, curve, and mark.

When I finished, she stepped deeper into the water so all of it could slide right off of her like a present being unraveled to me.

We kept switching places until we were clean. Once we turned off the water and stepped out, I wrapped a towel around her before wrapping one around myself.

"I have a surprise for you," I told her. She stepped out of the restroom and over to her luggage where she grabbed a nightgown.

"What is it?" she wondered.

As she got dressed, I headed over to my clothes and began to put on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. Once we were both fully dressed, I wrapped my arm around Reyna from the back, enjoying her light laugh as I pulled her over to the balcony.

"I want you to know something..." I said. Her laughter settled once she caught the seriousness of my tone. She turned around to face me, her eyes widening in curiosity.

"My mother once told me I would meet someone kind, smart, and beautiful. She said that one day I would know what true love felt like and all the bullshit her romantic ass loved so much. Not only that, but I would know me, and right now, I know me more than I know anything else in this world. I know when I'm happy, mad, upset, madly in love. Most of all, I know when I want to spend the rest of my life with someone." I dropped down to my knee, pulling out the ring from my pocket and holding it up to her.

"We haven't known each other very long, but I don't give time any value. You saw the darkest parts of me as well as the lightest, and you loved every single part profusely. No one in this goddamn world would ever be able to handle me in the way that you do. I'm not a believer of the whole fate bullshit, but I do believe you were made for me, Little Red. You are my Angel in all of this hell, and even though it began rocky, I hope that you now find me as your Saint. I wanted to ask you back at that restaurant, but I didn't have the balls. So, I'm asking you now... Reyna Fields, will you marry me?" he asked.

A tear fell from her eye as she stared at me. Her hesitation really hung in the air and squeezed around my neck.

"I'll say yes, but only if you agree you'll get help to stop all the drinking," she said.

My jaw clenched, but I still found myself nodding my head. "I will."

Suddenly, a big smile came across my face as she dropped down to her knee and hugged me.

"Then, yes, Santino, I will marry you," she said. With her answer, I slid the ring onto her left finger, enjoying how beautifully the moon sparkled on the diamond.

We could hear clapping coming from below us. Reyna stood back up to look over the railing just to find her mother, the nurse Janet, and Natalia down below. Natalia was the one clapping while Maria was busy wiping away her tears.

"Oh!" Maria blew her nose. "Don't mind us!"

"How long have y'all been down there?" Reyna shouted so they could hear her. "When did y'all get to Italy?"

"Saint flew us out! We got here like an hour ago and Saint messaged us the time to stand out here! Sorry Alessandro couldn't make it—he has work!" Natalia explained.

Reyna laughed, shaking her head back and forth.

"You liar. You had the balls back at the restaurant. You were just waiting for them, weren't you?" she asked me. I shrugged my shoulders innocently despite knowing it was the truth.

"What are y'all doing? Kiss already!" Janice surprisingly yelled.

I laughed and stood up to kiss my girl. My arms wrapped around her and I brought my lips down to claim her own. She wrapped her arms around my neck excitedly, and for the first time, our kiss held something deep—something meaningful—like a promise of forever.

When we pulled apart, I stared into her eyes.

"I can't wait to become Reyna Venturi," she whispered. It brought a smile onto my lips.

"Me either."
