So much joy rushes through me, I can't contain my smile. After everything I've gone through, and even after Massimo learned the full truth, he still wants me to be his. It's a reality I never thought would be possible. I almost ask him to pinch me again.

Massimo orders, "Let us sleep. We don't get married until four."

Tristano chuckles. "It's already after noon."

Massimo and I both sit up. I've not even seen my dress. It arrived last night while we were at dinner, but Massimo and I were too into each other to care. I fret, "What time is it?"

Tristano's lips twitch. "Only ten. But you do need to get up."

I relax, but Massimo doesn't, questioning, "Why is that?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Pina taunts.

"Enough of the dramatics," Massimo reprimands.

She points at me. "You need to come with me."

"Where?" I ask.

"Hair. Nails. Makeup. Massage. We need to go, or we'll miss our appointments," she states.

"Appointments?" I question, still bewildered.

She smirks. "Of course! Thank God I'm here since Massimo didn't think of the important stuff."

"No, I didn't think about that, but it's because she's a natural beauty. She doesn't need all that crap," he replies and squeezes my hip.

"Please. Save it," she demands, then beams at me. "We have a full day of pampering ahead of us, all on Tristano." She pats his shoulder. "Right, babe?"

He drags his eyes down the length of her body.

She pretends to ignore him and shifts on her feet. "Katiya, time is ticking."

I've never been to a spa or had any pampering. I'm still trying to wake up, not to mention process a day at the spa.

Massimo snorts. "You lost a bet, didn't you?"

Tristano disregards his question. "We have stuff to do as well. Let's go."

"Like what?"

"Man stuff."

"Such as...?" Massimo inquires.

"Breakfast. Drinking by the water. Lunch. More drinking by the water." He grins.

"Fun day. I approve," I tease.

Massimo shifts on the bed but keeps me tight to him. "I still vote you let us sleep."

Pina grabs the blankets. "I can pull these off if you want."

"We're naked," I blurt out.

"Aren't you two into that?" She smirks.

"Shut up, Pina," Massimo growls.
