—This lemonade is delicious.

—You are better.

—You are the one who doesn't want to test me.

He curves his lips in a sly smile, I hand him my glass and after finishing I take a photo of my castle to have as a souvenir. Salvatore comes up behind me, lifts me up by the waist and runs me to the edge of the water. Although he stops and puts me down, believing that this could trigger something in me, I am the one who puts him in the water. We go slowly, I put my feet, my knees, my waist in and I stay floating like that for a few minutes and then let the water reach my bust when it's time to go deeper.

He holds me by the waist at all times, when I stop in the middle of the sea he puts his chest against my back.

-Are you okay?

"Yes, I'm not as afraid of it as I am of a plane, that one made noise," I tell him. And water is just that, I just don't want to be afraid of it.

—Let's go easy, I'll always be here.

—We're fine here, it's not necessary to get into the deep end.

—No, of course it's not necessary, love.

We both make turns, we splash each other with water and in the end he lifts me on his shoulders while we join hands to admire the coast, see beyond where our house is located.

—I like to be happy with you, Salvatore.

—I like it too, a lot, you make me do things I hadn't done before.

—Yes, I remember that you had said that in your free time you only killed, you did gangster things.

—Today I definitely don't want to do much of that.

-What do you want to do?

He takes me out of the water carrying me on his shoulders, when we get to the chair there are already a couple of snacks that make my stomach growl. He puts me down and we sit together so we can enjoy the delicacies on the table.

"I want to enjoy you, I want you to have a real birthday party even if you don't like the idea very much," he tells me after putting a couple of meats in his mouth. I want you to have the wedding you want because you must be very clear that you will be my wife.

—The one who doesn't want it is someone else.

—Stop the nonsense, of course I want to—I shrug my shoulders, which makes it less important. And I want to spend a good vacation with you, enjoy each season of the year and in the end tie us together, be the family we always want.

—Are you going to impregnate me?

—Oh yes principessa, I will not stop fucking you before or after putting a baby in your feverish womb.

-Shut up, fool.

I push his shoulder with pressure with my hand, I take a sip of my drink and breathing such fresh air makes any discomfort or regret go away in a matter of seconds.

"If we get married, I don't want a huge wedding with a dress, a thousand guests, and seventy different dishes to try every week," I tell her, speaking from the bottom of my heart. I want something quiet, on a beach or a forest without many guests, with something small to celebrate or even at home we can have a party.

—That sounds interesting and even more so considering that we haven't known each other for long.

—Salvatore, you've been stuck in my head for more than six months, I haven't gotten you out of it no matter how much I wanted to after the club and I highly doubt that people will start to question the time when we are the ones above them, We are the owners of Calabria and the owners of the 'Ndrangheta empire. Which means that we can get married with more reason at any time.

—For example today.

—Not today because you don't want to —I narrow my eyes and he makes a face—, what I'm getting at is that in the mafia and I think that in those millionaire stories there are arranged marriages and I don't see people saying that it was too early to get married. Of course, they don't do it because it is arranged, however, ours is not and if it is sincere it can be completed at the appropriate time.

—You're right about that, princeess, we just have to take a few days, rest and breathe as much as you want so that when Adam gives me the green light to be able to fuck you like an animal, I'm not going to waste it.
