Tallon held onto my legs and continued to move until my quivering brought him over the edge as well.
We held onto each other as we both rode out the pleasure.
After a few minutes of panting, Tallon pushed himself back and sat heavily beside me. I pulled my unsteady legs under me and leaned against his side.
“I love you,” I said softly.
He put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head. “I love you,” he replied.
I smiled. “I can’t wait to be your wife,” I said.
Tallon smiled and gripped my chin lightly, lifting my head for a gentle kiss.
“Be patient, my love,” he said. “You’re going to be the most stunning bride that anyone has ever seen.”
“Only because I’m marrying such an incredible man,” I replied.
We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before Tallon stood and held his hand out to me.
I took his outstretched hand and he pulled me to my feet, then wrapped his arms around me and kissed me deeply.
I put my arms around him and returned the kiss with a rapidly growing heat.
When I pulled back, he was grinning lasciviously at me. “I believe you told me to take you to bed,” he said.
I smirked. “I did.” I reached up and ran my fingers lightly through his hair. He leaned into my touch and grabbed my wrist, pulling me closer.
“Then let’s go,” he said. “Because I am far from finished with you tonight.”

Spending the night with Tallon was exactly what I needed. I felt so much more secure when I woke up in his arms the next morning. We had already been through so much in order to be together, there was nothing Bianca could do that would break us apart.
Tallon seemed to be in a better mood, too. We spent the morning lazing around and flirting, which was honestly the best way to spend any day in my opinion. I had taken a long, hot shower this afternoon and now I was lounging in bed and touching up my nails. The acrid smell of the polish was nostalgic in a way. It had been a long time since I’d bothered doing my own nails.
It was rare for us not to have anything planned for the day, and it was nice for a change.
Tomorrow I was going to the dress shop to try on some more dresses and, hopefully, choose my perfect gown. I had an idea of what style I wanted, but that was just the beginning. I still had to choose an actual dress, plus a veil, shoes, and jewelry….
I sighed. There was just so much to think about. It was overwhelming. This was something that I couldn’t ask Tallon to help me with, either. It was bad luck for him to see me in my dress before the wedding. I knew that seemed like a silly superstition, but I wasn’t about to tempt fate.
I was going to have to trust the staff at the bridal shop and my own taste to make the right choice.
“Alessandro has invited us to dinner,” Tallon said suddenly.
I looked up from my nails in surprise. Tallon was looking at his phone with a thoughtful expression. There was something odd about his tone that I couldn’t place.
“That could be nice,” I said.
“He wants to introduce us to his new girlfriend,” he added.
That explained his tone. He was surprised. I didn’t think that Alessandro had been in a steady relationship in all of the time I had known Tallon. It must have been serious if he was introducing her to the rest of the family.
“That’s great,” I said.
Tallon nodded, but he didn’t say anything.
He was quiet for the next few hours, even as we were getting dressed and driving to the restaurant to meet up with Alessandro. I know that his relationship with his brother has been tense at times in the past, but I didn’t think that’s what was going on right now.
It was much more likely that he was worried about Alessandro. If he was introducing his girlfriend to the rest of the family, it could be a very stressful time for him. There were so many personalities and conflicting priorities to deal with and, as I knew well, it could take a lot of work to win everyone over.
I hadn’t even seen this woman yet, but I was determined to greet her in the warmest way I could. I wanted her to know that as intimidating as the family could be, it was worth the effort to join it.
I held Tallon’s arm as we entered the restaurant. Alessandro was standing at the hostess’s stand and speaking to a woman in a black dress. They must have just beaten us here if he was still getting a table, I thought.
There was a tall, stunning woman standing beside Alessandro in a very flattering red dress. Her hair was perfectly styled and her makeup looked like it had been done professionally. Her perfectly put-together look made me feel a little self-conscious of my slightly smudged nails.
She looked a little nervous as she glanced around the room. I didn’t blame her. She was meeting a very important person in her boyfriend’s life, and that was always nerve-wracking. I knew that adding in the fact that Tallon was the head of the family would only enhance the feeling of unease. When her eyes fell on him, she shook off the uneasy expression and smiled kindly at us.
She said something quietly and Alessandro turned to face us. He smiled and nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Tallon walked directly to Alessandro and I went along with him. We reached him just as the hostess was walking away, to lead him to the table. The brothers greeted each other briefly, then we all went to our table and took our seats.
The restaurant was busy already, even though it was early in the evening. I could tell by the decor that it was an expensive spot, but I was getting used to that from Tallon and his family.
Alessandro ordered a bottle of wine for the table before the hostess hurried off, and then he turned his attention to us.
“It’s good to see you,” Tallon said. “It’s been a while.”
“Life gets busy,” Alessandro said sheepishly.
There was a moment where the two of them just stared at each other in tense silence, and then Alessandro broke into a wide grin and laughed. Tallon did the same, and all of the tension in the room dissipated.
“This is my Mia,” Alessandro said happily. He reached out and took the beautiful woman’s hand.
She smiled shyly at us.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said. “Alessandro has told me so much about you.”
“And you still agreed to meet us?” I joked.
She laughed. “Well I figured I might as well get it over with,” she said.
“Where did you two meet?” I asked.
“Florence,” Alessandro said. “I was on holiday and was lucky enough to meet the most beautiful local there.”
“That sounds incredibly romantic,” I said.
Mia nodded in agreement. “It was lovely.”
Alessandro said something to Tallon, but I was focused on Mia. She had a dreamy look on her face as she leaned forward slightly and said, “You’re getting married soon, right?”
“Yes,” I said excitedly. “I’ve been working hard on wedding planning. You don’t realize how much work goes into a wedding until you’re thrown into it.”
