Seg retreated to the bathroom at the same time Roan replied with, "Why?"
There was no answer.
Within minutes, they were both cleaned up and dressed.
"They know what we were doing," Roan told him, his cheeks flushed.
"I'm sure they do." Seg wasn't sure whether he should be embarrassed or not, so he put on his game face as they headed down the hall toward the kitchen.
Everyone was still outside, which was a plus. Perhaps they didn't know.
"They're on the way," Teague announced as Roan pushed on the screen. "I'm pretty sure they were sneaking in a quickie."
Okay, now he was embarrassed. Then again, he should've known. Roan had already warned him about Teague. The guy had come out of his shell in recent months, and somewhere along the way, he'd seemingly lost the filter from his brain to his mouth.
"Teague!" Three voices said in unison, all eyes going to Seg's mother as Roan and Seg stepped outside.
Deb giggled but turned her attention to Liam. "Your daddies are silly, you know that?"
Yeah. It was clear she knew what they'd been doing.
"There they are," Teague informed everyone unnecessarily.
"What's goin' on?" Roan asked, looking around.
Dare stepped onto the bottom step of the deck, his gaze floating from face to face, a smile forming on his lips as he did.
"The suspense is killing us," Gannon informed him.
"We're getting married," Dare announced.
"Uh … " Roan's forehead creased. "That's not news, Dare."
"What I meant to say is"-his grin widened-"we're getting married right now."
"What?" Milly squealed, getting to her feet. "What do you mean right now? You can't get married right now." Her head snapped over to her stepbrother. "Why didn't I know about this?"
"Because we didn't want a big production," Noah said, taking Dare's hand.
Both men looked at Cam expectantly.
Cam retrieved an iPad and headed over to the couple.
"Wait!" Milly shrieked. "You can't be serious. We need a best man."
Roan stepped forward, moving to stand beside Dare.
"That's only one," Milly said, frowning.
Hudson got up from his spot at the table beside Deb.
"What about your mom?" Milly asked Noah. "And my dad?"
"We'll call them afterward," Noah told her.
"No, seriously," Milly countered.
"We're serious," Noah told her. "I've been asking this man time and time again to give me a date. If he wants to get married today, then I'm going to marry him."
"What about a marriage license? Did you think of that?"
Cam reached into his back pocket and retrieved what Seg could only assume was a marriage license.
"This is not funny," Milly groused.
"We'll let you put together a party," Dare told his future stepsister-in-law.
"Really?"
Seg was shocked at how that seemed to appease the woman. In the short time he'd known her, he'd learned that Milly Holcomb was the female equivalent of the Tasmanian devil. Sure, she'd been a little subdued when she was pregnant, but Seg had seen a different side of her since then.
"Are we ready now?" Cam asked, glancing around. "I assume no one is going to interrupt this ceremony or insist that these two should not be married."
All eyes went to Milly.
Her fingers went to her mouth and she zipped the imaginary zipper before moving closer to AJ, who was holding their sleeping daughter.
When Cam spoke again, Seg moved closer to his mother, his eyes on the life-changing event taking place in front of him. Although he was happy for the couple, he couldn't take his eyes off Roan.
His husband.
It was amazing how much his life had changed from a year ago. He'd come out of the closet to the world and married the man of his dreams. They had a son, a house … a life.
And to think, it all started with a little harmless one-night stand.
Seg grinned.
Yeah.
It was safe to say there was absolutely nothing harmless about that night.
And if he could go back and do it all again, he damn sure wouldn't change a single thing.
Oh, except maybe a little more than one night in the beginning.
Then again, he had a lifetime to make up for all the time they'd lost that first year.
