Gram nods. “I’m going to need her phone number, Love. We have some shenanigans to plan.”
“Oh, lord, help us,” Mom says.
Edna laughs. “I hope you’re hiring a videographer for this.”
“We were just going with a photographer, but it might be necessary,” I agree.
Wedding talk continues for hours, and as Dad said, I hear a bunch of wedding stories that make me smile. It gives me confidence that everything we’re doing will end up a fond memory we’ll share with someone one day.
My gram discretely tucks the wedding list into my backpack on my way out the door that night and whispers that she crossed out a bunch of silly additions while my mother was cooking dinner. I give her a tight hug and tell her I’ll be in touch with Keno’s gran’s number and to talk attire. We’re also open to suggestions if she has ideas.
That twinkle in her eyes follows me.
The last thing I do before I get on the plane is video call Lo. It’s late, so it was stupid to call. I forget that not everyone is on my specific time.
“Hey,” he answers.
I squint. “You’re in bed, aren’t you?”
Lo shifts the phone so I can see Caulder lying beside him. Caulder sighs and shoves the phone away. “Seriously, Lo.”
Lo grins. “What’s up?”
“You could have called me back tomorrow.”
“We’re watching a movie. Not a big deal.”
“I just have a question to ask.”
“What’s up?”
“How do you feel about being our ring bearer?”
Lo’s smile climbs and I swear, my Gram shared her mischievous twinkle. Oh no.
CHAPTER 24
KENO
There’s literallynothing better than stepping off the skywalk to see my man waiting for me. It isn’t until I’m wrapped in his arms that I realize just how much I missed him. My chest feels all tight and hot and my shoulders finally relax.
I didn’t even realize I was carrying around tension.
“I’m exhausted. Please tell me we scheduled a nap in today.”
“We’re scheduled for sucking balls and fingering holes. So… yeah, it’s a relaxing day.”
Etna snorts. Then he groans. “Both disturb me.”
“We thought that about sucking dick and I think we’ve both changed our minds about that.”
“Yeah, but… All I can think about is ball sweat. And… man, I know what comes out of holes.”
“We’ll shower first. Thoroughly. Also, we bought those douches and stuff. Maybe it’s time we learn how to use them.”
I open my eyes just as an elderly man looks at me with the most scandalized, horrified look. I grin, dropping my hand to grab Etna’s ass. The man turns and hurries away.
Etna chuckles. “Practicing or…?”
