I take his hand, letting him lead me through the penthouse. I’ve been to most rooms, but there was always one area that was locked, and I never asked him what was inside. We come to a stop in front of the door, and he pulls out a key.
“If this is some kind of red room of pain, I’m going to be mad that you didn’t show me sooner.”
He snorts. “Just wait,Dolcezza.”
He opens the door and steps aside. I enter the room and look around when he flips on the light.
“It’s a…barber shop.”
Not only that, but it looks just like Vinny’s salon.
Alessandro stands next to me. “I met a woman ten years ago who gave me the best shave of my life.”
I grin. “I think I’ve heard this before.”
“What you might not know is that she made such an impression on me that I had this room built to remember her.” He goes to the counter, pointing to a bottle of shaving cream. “Smell that.”
I do. “Mmm. That’s why you always smell so good.”
“Know where I found the scent?” I shake my head and he smiles. “It’s the same scent you used when you shaved me. I reached out to Vinny to get the name of it.”
“But that bottle is probably the cheapest thing on the market! You could use anything.”
“I wanted to remember how I felt when I met you. Each time I use that shaving cream, it’s like I’m back in that chair and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life is asking if I’d like to be rubbed.”
I laugh, though tears fill my eyes. “Oh my god. I can’t believe you remember me saying that.”
“I remember everything,Dolcezza, and I can’t wait to see what other memories we make together.”
“Wow.”
“Too much?”
I shake my head. “No. It’s perfect. I was just wondering how I got so lucky.”
“I’m the lucky one. Now, give your husband a shave so he can look his best when he takes his wife to bed.”
“You’re the only person I’ve ever shaved, Alessandro! I don’t know if I even remember how.”
He grins. “I trust you.”
“I trust you, too. But if I cut you, it’s not my fault.”
He lowers into the chair, leaning back. “Before you ask, I most definitely want to be rubbed this time.”
I laugh. Life with this man will never be dull, and I can’t wait.
EPILOGUE
Brooks
My head throbs to the beat of the music. I’m at the annual charity benefit held by the Elite bitches. The only thing that makes this tolerable is sitting next to Ace and Isa. Isa glows with pregnancy, and Ace can barely keep his hands off her. They’ll only be here a bit longer before they sneak off to their hotel and I won’t see them again this trip.
And I’ll be alone. As always.
I reach for my drink, only to find it empty and wave down a server.
“Leave the bottle.”
