"That's it! Clutch that tight pussy around me," he growls.

My body spasms, eyes roll, and everything turns to white stars.

"Let go of the bars," he instructs.

I release them and grip him, holding him as tight as possible, never wanting to let go.

There's no more doubt in my mind. I'm the future Mrs. Tristano Marino. If I never fully get my memory back, it doesn't matter.

He is my future. There's nothing else I need except him. And I know in my heart, he needs me just as much.

Epilogue

Tristano

Three Months Later

Everyone we love isin the room. Over the last few months, Pina's fully regained her memory. She returned to work but renegotiated the terms with Dante. After a lot of thought, she decided she wanted to cut back on her hours and enjoy life a little more.

I finally killed Biagio. After starving him and torturing him for so long, Pina told me it was time to put it behind us. So last night, I finished him off with a cheese slicer. Pina actually picked it out for me.

I tug her closer to me. She glances up, her golden-brown eyes shining bright, and smiles. My heart swells with so much love, I can't even describe it. I lean down and murmur in her ear, "After we get home, I'm taking you to the playroom for your surprise."

She takes a tiny inhale, replying, "Do you have a gift for me?"

Nodding, I chuckle, then reply, "You've been bad lately, baby girl. I have a new punishment for you."

She smirks. "Should I be extra naughty tonight?" She bats her eyelashes.

My dick hardens. I drag my finger down the side of her cheek, tuck her hair behind her ear, and assert, "You be as bad as you want, sexy woman. I'll make sure you pay your penance."

She softly laughs. "Well then, challenge accepted."

I squeeze her ass as Chanel runs up to us with her daughter Zara. Chanel chirps, "Hi! I'm sorry we're late."

Pina tosses her arms around Chanel, kissing her on the cheek, and then gives Zara the same treatment. She steps back and holds both their hands, gushing, "You both look amazing!"

"Thanks, Aunt Pina!" Zara says, giving Pina another hug. She asks, "Where's the restroom? I'm going to pee my pants!"

I step back. "Here, let me show you." I guide Zara toward the bathroom and leave the other women.

For the next half hour, I talk to several other people. From time to time, I glance across the room, locking eyes with Pina's.

It's our wedding rehearsal. I felt like this day would never come. I would have married her as soon as she agreed, but she wanted to have ours after Dante and Bridget's, claiming we stole their day when we had the accident. Now that they're officially married, it's finally our time. And I've never been happier in my life. I can't wait to officially make Pina mine.

The DJ cuts the music. He gets on the microphone and says, "If everyone could be seated, it's time for dinner."

I find Pina. We make our way over to our seats. Chanel sits on the other side of Pina and Massimo sits next to me. The servers pass out champagne flutes.

Massimo gets up and makes a speech. In the middle of it, Chanel rises and steps next to him. She interjects, "Since I know the bride the best, I think it's time we discussed the real deets about her."

Pina covers her face and groans, but she's smiling.

Dante yells out, "I think I know her better, Chanel."

"Keep telling yourself that," Chanel sings.

Massimo's eyes light with mischief. He states, "Do tell."
