“Driving us yourself?”

“Of course.”

“You should’ve had a drink and relaxed, Claudia,” said Alyssa, to get a laugh.

“I will after coming back. I’m on vacation while you’re on your honeymoon.”

Alyssa laughed, hardly able to believe how happy she was.

“You have a private plane. Of course you do,” she said when they got to the hangar.

“Of course I do. I thought you might change your mind if you found out how wasteful I am.”

Alyssa rolled her eyes at him, waved goodbye to Claudia, and found herself in the kind of luxury she thought she would never get used to. Private planes, mansions, limousines, security personnel everywhere—those were things that had never figured in her life. But her life had changed. Everything had changed when she’d fallen in love with Matteo. Everything had changed even more when she’d agreed to marry him.

Most people in her life had thought she was crazy. Well, except Brianna and Naomi. Naomi had claimed that it was all because of that rose quartz that she’d insisted Alyssa shove in her bra. Brianna had seen Alyssa’s heartbreak with her own eyes.

“There’s a bedroom in here.”

“And when we’re in the air, we’re going to open some champagne, and we’re going to use that bed.”

Alyssa giggled. She already felt drunk, even if she’d only sipped on champagne so far. When they were in the air, she turned to Matteo and raised an eyebrow.

“Now can I change out of my wedding gown?”

“No. Now I want to get you out of your wedding gown and make love to you.”

Alyssa sighed a little.

“That’s why you told me I didn’t have time to change.”

“Perhaps. But you don’t mind indulging your husband a little, do you?”

She smiled at him, her heart melting a little, her skin tingling more than a little already in anticipation.

“I don’t mind. I don’t mind at all.”

He pulled her to her feet and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again, but this time, like he really meant it.
