The next morning Riley and Xerxes were on their way to Cabo San Lucas for their honeymoon. Right now, the two were on the plane in silence, looking out the window. It was one of their favorite views.
Sighing to himself, Xerxes closed his eyes, then opened them looking over to Riley's belly, then up to her face with a smile. It was a good feeling for him. He was married to the woman he loved and couldn't stop staring, which made her look over to him.
"Why are you staring at me, Xerxes?" Riley asked, making him smile again. She quickly looked away. Xerxes still didn't understand why she hid her face when she blushed. It was something she always did ever since they were little. Anytime he smiled at her, she would run and hide or covered her face.
"What can't I look at my beautiful wife?" He asked, making her smile and nod her head. Xerxes smiled again as he got up, walking over to her. He pulled her out of her seat and over into his lap as he kissed her neck, making Riley giggle.
"You need to stop, and where are we going again. You never told me."
"No, I don't, and we're going to Cabo San Lucas," Xerxes said, making Riley pull back, looking at him. He looked down at her with an arched eyebrow because she looked a bit upset. It wasn't his idea. It was their parents, Johan and Odette's.
"What? You're talking about Mexico?" She asked, and he nodded, making her sigh. It made X brush the hair out of her face looking her in the eye, trying to figure out the problem.
"What's wrong?"
"My parents had problems with the Spanish Mafia, and I think they settled down in Cabo from Spain. It wasn't just my parents. The shit started when my grandparents were Don and Donna. Hopefully, they don't know we are coming or not there."
"Ri, our parents, Uncle Jo and Aunt Ode are sending us here. I don't think they would have if they thought we couldn't take care of ourselves. Did you forget who we are or something? I could care fucking less about them. Apparently, they aren't fucking winning if they are still trying to come at us when they got their ass beat twice by your grandparents and parents. We'll be fine, and if something happens, we have people here plus us. Please calm down." He said, and she rolled her eyes.
"I just want it to be a stress-free week," She said. Hell, X wanted the same, but it didn't mean that was what they were going to get. They were mafia nothing ever went fucking stress-free or smooth with them.
"Riley, we're mafia. That's never going to happen." He said, making her sigh and snuggle herself against him as she closed her eyes. A few moments later, X was closing his too. It was a habit with him. Each time Riley got sleepy, so did he.

After landing in Cabo, Xerxes and Riley walked on the bridge to their Water Bungalow. It was a good thing theirs was way back because they didn't want any disturbance. X was loving the site and could tell Riley was too.
