They all gather in a banquet hall of the hotel and there's a wide choice of snacks and drinks. There are toys for the kids and photo albums to look at for the adults. Scorpia is sitting with Enzo in her lap, reading him a story while Leo sleeps on grandpa Lachlan's arm, Cait looking at them tenderly.

Pia, who's sitting on Logan's lap, starts to get sleepy too and sucks her thumb. Matteo and Lucas are playing soccer with a soft ball and the others talk and eat together. Enzo wants to play soccer too and Scorpia lifts him from her lap. Pia fell asleep and Logan carries her to a bench in the corner, where she can continue her slumber safely.

As soon as he's back in his chair, Scorpia crawls onto his lap. She chuckles when she catches him staring at her boobs, shaking them teasingly. "Bonnie... I'm not sure how long I'll be able to control myself. But you're not making things easier this way."

He sticks his tongue out slowly and licks the top of her breast, she moans softly before getting up quickly and sitting in her own chair again. She grabs a sandwich from the plate in the middle of the table and bites into it to regain some composure. Logan grabs something to eat too and avoids her gaze.

At some point, Bruno and Lexy join them and their outfits are inspected thoroughly. Lexy walks up to Logan and asks: "And? What do you think of Scorpia's dress?"

"Oh sis, I can't even look at her without wanting to devour her. The dress is beautiful. She is beautiful."

Lexy laughs. "She certainly is. And said yes to a tartan dress right away. So sweet. But it sure looks amazing on her. But she's just as shook up by your outfit, so that keeps things fair."

Logan looks at Scorpia and notices her talking to Bruno but her eyes wander to him constantly. He smirks and winks at her. She blushes and quickly turns her gaze back to Bruno. They all talk to each other, happy and relaxed, looking at the old photographs until it's time for dinner.

Scorpia is seated next to Bruno and Logan next to Lexy. They get up at the same time and raise their glasses, clearing their throats and exchanging a naughty look. As soon as they have everyone's attention, the short Italian woman and tall, ginger Scot start talking.

"My lovely, big sister..."

"And my sweet, big brother..."

"What a special, loving day this was. And we're grateful..."

"To be witness to your love."

"But you're smart enough to know..."

"That we can't let this day pass without embarrassing you both a little. We, as younger siblings know a lot about you."

"Things you wish would stay hidden. Like the beautiful piece of artwork on the hallway wall, made with mom's lipstick. The art your little brother got blamed for and took it.

Or the time you drank dad's whisky and it made you so sick that mom had to call the doctor. The doctor took one look at you and told mom her daughter was hungover. I will never forget the expression on my mother's face. And it took me years to dare and drink whisky, thinking it made you really sick."

Lexy stares at Logan with a bright blush on her cheeks as the room fills with laughter.

Scorpia clears her throat, "There's clearly a huge age gap between me and Bruno, so I can't tell you about the things he did when he was little. But thankfully I have two other brothers and mamma, they told me about Bruno's past in detail."

Bruno moans uncomfortably and Scorpia continues. "Like trying different stunts on his BMX bike and crashing through the fence to end up in the neighbor's yard where the lady of the house was tanning, topless. And that's not all. Bruno figured it was appropriate to tell her she had beautiful boobs."

The whole room bursts out in laughter while Bruno hides his face in his hands. "He also tried to look into the girl's locker room at school. And succeeded for a second before he landed in a thorn bush with his naked behind. We need an explanation about that, Bruno. Why were your buttcheeks uncovered?"

Bruno shakes his head, face ghostly white, eyes wide.

Ciro gets up and says: "Because he saw Katie in her bra, a girl he had the hots for forever. Katie had very big, round..."

Bruno jumps up. "Yeah, yeah, I'm sure everyone can fill in the blanks!"

Mamma laughs. "I had him sitting as much as possible for a week. I was so embarrassed that he was my son but at the same time, I knew his dad would have been proud. You know, Italian men and women..."

Everyone laughs and a few more embarrassing stories are shared before they end with a ballpark number of sexual partners for both of them, making Bruno and Lexy blush a deep red.

Scorpia laughs, "We can all see that as something negative but I don't think it is. You gain experience and that's never a bad thing. You find out what you do and don't like, you gain confidence... But most importantly, when you finally decide to love that one person for the rest of your life, you'll know it's the right one.

And we all know it. It only takes one look at them to know. This is true love, for each other, for the kids. Even their love for the rest of the family is incomparable. I love you two, forever and I'm certain your happiness is going to grow in the years to come."

Logan raises his glass and looks at them. "It could be weird, the fact that your sister is married to the brother of the woman you hope to marry but it isn't. Not even a little. It feels right. This family feels right. I hope we all continue to follow our hearts because this group of mishaps fits together perfectly. I love you and wish you all the luck in the world. Cheers!"

Bruno pulls Scorpia into an emotional hug while Lexy does the same with Logan. They switch and Scorpia hugs Lexy. Lexy cries as she thanks her for everything and Scorpia kisses her. "There's no need to thank me, sister. I do all of it with love. Take good care of my brother and the kids. That's more than enough thanks."

Bruno taps Scorpia's shoulder and asks: "Could you tuck Pia into bed too? Assuming you're doing the same with Leo?"

Scorpia nods and Bruno adds: "It would be a shame if all the noises in here and the music would wake them up."

She kisses Bruno's cheek and walks over to Logan to ask him to carry Pia upstairs. Logan makes his way over to the little sleeping girl on the bench and lifts her up gently.

Scorpia walks over to Lachlan and kisses his cheek. "Grandpa? Can I take Leo with me to put him in his crib?"

Lachlan smiles wide and nodes. He hands Leo to her and kisses the little boy's hair whispering: "Sweet dreams." Cait follows his lead and does the same.

Leo sighs against his mom's chest and Scorpia follows Logan upstairs. They put Pia and Leo in Leo's crib and turn the baby monitor on. They watch the two sleeping children with a smile on their faces.

Logan wraps his arm around Scorpia and stares at her boobs. She giggles softly, "I'll put a sweater over it."

Logan pulls her against his chest. "No, Bonnie. This view is way too pretty to hide. But I am grateful that this is not your daily attire because I wouldn't be able to handle that. I'm grateful it clearly shows who they belong to though."

He laughs and she pulls him down for a deep kiss. They hug and kiss for a little while before going back to the rest of the family. Lexy and Bruno are about to cut into the huge wedding cake and everybody watches them, laughing as they smear cake all over each other.

Scorpia and Logan sit next to each other to taste a piece of cake and drink a cup of coffee. Logan accidentally drops a piece of cake in Scorpia's cleavage and licks it from her skin. She tries to hide her blush as a naughty chuckle escapes him.

She feels a tap on her shoulder and she turns around to find Matteo. She smiles at him and he asks her if she wants to dance with him later. Lucas hears it and asks the same question, followed by an angry Enzo, telling them Scorpia is his 'date'.

Logan pouts and says in a sad tone: "But she's my girl!"

The younger men shrug and look at Scorpia, waiting for her answer.

She smiles at all of them and promises to dance with every single one. Lachlan, Flavio, Ciro, and Dino quickly follow with the same question and it's clear to see that Logan is becoming frustrated.

She tries to hide her smile and starts a conversation with Cait.

Cait says: "I had a talk with Lexy and we both promised to look forward from now on."

Scorpia smiles at her mother-in-law and takes her hands in hers. "I'm so happy for you Cait. You both deserve a fresh start. It's never too late."

A huge buffet is opened and everybody rushes towards it to get something to eat. Everyone besides Logan and Scorpia. Logan pulled her onto his lap and he is looking at her with puppy dog eyes. "Promise you'll dance with me too tonight?"

She kisses him softly and runs her fingers through his hair. "If you allow me to eat something right now or there will be no dancing at all, with anyone."

He laughs and they get up, walking towards the buffet hand in hand. Logan keeps her hand firmly in his and she smiles as she tries to put food on her plate with one hand. Logan stacks his plate with foods that are bite-sized and winks at her. She follows his example before walking back to the table.

Logan feeds her a bite as he looks at her, a shimmer in his eyes. She feeds him too and kisses him lightly right after. They eat everything on their plates and Logan keeps staring into her eyes. He whispers: "I love you."

Everyone is invited out to the dancefloor. Lexy and Bruno are in the middle of it, ready to start their first dance as husband and wife. 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton starts playing and everyone watches the couple getting lost in each other. Scorpia wipes a tear from her cheek as she smiles at the couple so clearly in love.

As soon as the song is ended, the newlyweds make their way to Scorpia and Logan. Bruno grins and pulls Scorpia into his arms, twirls her around, provoking happy laughter from her. They dance and laugh together and Scorpia notices Logan and Lexy are having the same amount of fun together.

The dancefloor fills with all the other family members quickly and Scorpia is dancing with Matteo before she knows it. The boy took dance classes for the occasion and shows her all of his moves. "Wow, Matteo. I'm impressed. Nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to dance." She winks at him and he blushes a little.

She dances with Lucas, who mostly wants to wildly hop around in circles. Scorpia's laughter sounds through the space and she searches for Logan with her eyes. She finds him in mamma's arms, who looks up at him with red cheeks.

Enzo comes running with a wide grin on his face as soon as the song is over. His hair is messy and he lost his bow tie but it only adds to his cuteness.

"Soppia! Lift!"

Scorpia picks him up in her arms and he covers her face with kisses. She slow dances around with him and he whispers: "Soppia pretty! Ti amo!" She kisses him too and tells him he looks so handsome today. He rests his head on her shoulder and she can tell by his breathing that he's tired.

When the song comes to its end, mamma appears. She takes Enzo from Scorpia, ready to put the boy in his bed. Scorpia looks at her mom, "He's handsome, isn't he?"

Mamma pretends she doesn't get the comment at first but blushes and nods lightly.

Scorpia chuckles and sees Flavio come her way. He places a hand on her lower back, encasing her hand with his free one. She floats across the dancefloor with him, a wide smile pulling at her lips. "You just might be the best dancer here, Flavio."

He laughs, "And holding the most beautiful woman of the night in my arms. I have nothing to complain about, cara."

They keep dancing until Ciro cuts in. Flavio twirls her around and straight into Ciro's arms. He kisses her cheek and winks at Ciro.

Ciro pulls his sister closer, "You look absolutely beautiful today, sorellina. I'm so proud of you. And as of tomorrow morning, there will be a green Wrangler at the cafe and one at the cottage. The keys will be in the kitchen drawer."

She smiles, "Thank you so much, Ciro. When are you flying back?"

"Tomorrow night, sadly. Cause someone needs to make sure Scorpia Enterprise doesn't go belly up."

He laughs and she slaps his shoulder. "I need to talk to you, Ciro. About my future, our future. I know what I want but I have no clue how to do it."

"That's easy, sorellina. As long as Leo doesn't have to go to school, you'll visit Scotland once a month. For a long weekend, a week, whatever feels right. You have to use that freedom while you still have it.

And if you want alone time with Logan, we'll take care of Leo. That cute boy is always welcome in our house. I will work around you with everybody else. You deserve to put yourself and your family first, Scorpia. You've been through enough."

He cuddles her and she looks at him with eyes full of tears, kissing him softly as she whispers: "Thank you."

Dino taps Ciro's shoulder, taking Scorpia in his arms with a wide grin on his face.

"How are things with you and Violetta?"

His grin changes into a sweet smile, "Things are good, sis. I don't know what you said to her but it worked. I've managed to buy the piece of land next to the children's home and we're going to build a beautiful house on it. To live in and have a little privacy. But at the same time, we're close enough to get to the children fast when they need us."

Scorpia smiles and kisses his cheek. "I'm glad, Dino. You two deserve all the luck in the world."

Lachlan taps Dino's shoulder, "I apologize for cutting in but I want to dance with the prettiest woman of the night before Logan explodes."

Dino laughs and puts Scorpia's hand into Lachlan's. Lachlan turns out to be an excellent dancer too and Scorpia exchanges a quick look with Flavio. He immediately understands the meaning behind that look and grabs his chest with a pained look in his eyes.

She giggles softly and Lachlan shoots her a questioning look. "I thought Flavio was the best dancer tonight but you just replaced him."

Lachlan grins and dances around with her proudly.

Logan danced with Lexy, mamma, Violetta, and his own mother but he's starting to feel more uncomfortable by the minute. And all the men present find joy in pointing it out to him. He's about to combust and watching his father dance around all proud is the last drop.

He takes big strides towards his dad and angrily taps his shoulder. Lachlan pretends he doesn't feel it and twirls Scorpia away from him. Logan chases after them and yells: "Let her go. Now!"

Lachlan laughs and looks into Scorpia's eyes. She nods and he lets her go.

She wraps her arms around Logan's neck right away and he pulls her close. He breathes in her scent and calms down a little. "Mmm, Bonnie. I'm not letting you go anymore. I'm done."

She cups his face and looks deep into his eyes. He rests his forehead against hers and stares back at her. "You're so beautiful today but there are way too many men in his family. It pisses me off."

She stands on the tips of her toes and kisses him slow and deeply. "There might be a lot of them in our family but there's only one man able to make my heart race. Especially when he wears a kilt, my handsome Scot. I love them all Logan but I love you the most. My heart will forever be yours."

She looks at his tattoo, "Here. Forever."

He smiles wide and looks at her with a sparkle in his eyes. Silver specks dance through the stormy grey pupils. She stares into them with fascination as they slow dance across the dancefloor.

He sways her to the end of the floor and out of the hall. Scorpia laughs as he drags her towards the elevator.

They kiss each other wildly, stumbling into the hotel room and checking the crib to find Leo and Pia in peaceful slumber. Soft giggles escape them as they walk into the bathroom, eyes taking in every detail of their outfits.

Scorpia's heart rate picks up because Logan is out of this world handsome in these clothes.

Logan stares at her cleavage with his tongue out. "Those boobs have been taunting me all day, Bonnie. They really need to be liberated from that dress."

He turns her around, facing the big mirror as he slowly starts to untie the laces of the corset top, followed by pulling down the zipper below, making the dress fall down to the floor in slow motion.

He holds his breath, covers her breast with his hands, and massages them gently while kissing her neck. "Hell, Bonnie. So beautiful."

She moans softly and pulls the dress further down to reveal the tiny red thong she's wearing.

Logan gasps and quickly gets rid of his jacket and vest.

Scorpia turns around to face him and loosens his tie. Her hands slide across the buttons of his shirt, unbuttoning them at a teasing slow pace.

Logan gets frustrated and rips the last buttons off, throwing his shirt aside. Scorpia chuckles and kicks her shoes off, stepping out of her dress.

She kneels down in front of him, helping him out of his shoes and rolling his knee socks down. As soon as his legs are bare, her hands slide up his shins to his knees, ending on his thighs.

Logan bites his lip when her hands find his erection, her eyes displaying nothing but raw desire. He is about to take his kilt off when she stops him and shakes her head.

He flips her over and pushes her against the vanity. She rests her hands on top of it, while his hands stroke her butt cheeks, one hand sliding between her legs to feel if she's as ready for this as he is.

He doesn't even bother with taking her thong off, he just pulls the little bit of fabric aside and slides inside of her. His free hand drapes the tartan fabric over her butt and hips, a smile on his lips as he looks at it.

His eyes bore into hers through the mirror as he feverishly chases their release. He thrusts into her powerfully with his hands on the kilt, the sensation of the fabric rubbing her skin making her moan.

Her facial expression and the sounds of their lovemaking almost make him lose control. He slows down his movements, Scorpia letting out a whiny moan because of it.

"Calm down, Bonnie. I need a minute." He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

He starts to push his hips against her ass slow and steady and she pushes her behind back, following his pace. Accelerating with every few thrusts, he pushes his hand down on her lower back, a smirk forming on his lips as he holds one of her breasts to play with her nipple.

She moans his name and he knows she's close. He thrust into her at a high tempo until they both find their release at the same time, shivers starting in his body and ending in hers. His hands rest on the vanity, keeping her trapped between his arms while she closes her eyes and enjoys the intimate moment.

She looks at their reflection in the mirror, desire getting replaced with love in their eyes. He reaches for the towel and she whines when he takes a step back. Logan cleans himself up, folds the towel differently, and cleans her up lovingly.

He throws the towel in the corner and massages her buttcheeks. She stands up and rests her head on his shoulder, while he strokes her belly and whispers he loves her. She turns around and kisses him slow and deep.

Her eyes land on his shirt on the floor and she picks it up to put it on. There are just enough buttons left to cover up her breasts and Logan's eyes flash with desire again as he looks at her. She shakes her head and walks into the bedroom.

Logan follows her and they get into bed together. She listens to his heartbeat with her head on his chest, a loving smile on her lips. He strokes her hair and kisses her forehead. "I love you, Bonnie. Forever."

She kisses his chest and repeats his words.

"Do you want to go back to the party, Bonnie?"

She shakes her head, "I want to stay here. With you. In your arms."

He cuddles her and kisses her lips gently. She kisses him back and snuggles up to him.

They listen to the relaxed silence in the room, enjoying each other's company and the fact that there's no need for words. Eventually sliding into a dreamless, comfortable sleep.
