“It’s a very good thing. You’re helping me keep a promise to Rochelle.”
“What was the promise?”
“That the next time I get a chance to love again, I wouldn’t pass it up.”
Lucas smirked and looked away from him for a second. “Funny, I made the same promise to Rebecca.” He turned his gaze back to Tucker. “So, do we elope or something else?”
Tucker set his beer bottle down and walked over to Lucas pulling him into his arms. “I’m taking that as a 'yes' to my proposal.” He noticed that his voice became low and deep. Lucas wrapped his arms around Tucker’s neck and leaned in closer. He lightly brushed his lips against Lucas' lips teasingly before pressing them together. His hands moved down and grabbed Lucas’ ass. Their kiss went on for minutes, and again Tucker felt as if he was an addict craving his next fix.
When they separated, Lucas smiled up at him. “You sure know how to propose to a guy.”
“Romance is my middle name, didn’t you know?”
They chuckled and separated. Lucas took his hand pulling him backward out of the kitchen and in the living room. “I think it will be better if we elope. I witnessed and was a part of the large wedding thing. I want something small and intimate, just us three, no, make that four of us.” He fell back on the couch taking Tucker with him.
“Are you sure that’s what you want?”
“Yup, now no more talking. Show me how much you want me to be yours.” He pivoted his hips grinding his erection against Tucker.
“So fucking bossy,” Tucker said with a smile.
“You better believe it.”

They didn’t wasteany time. The day after their decision to get married, they’d both called into work for the week, not caring about the amount of work that would be piling up and waiting for them. Without telling their families what they were up to, they quickly booked tickets for Las Vegas for all three of them. They’d deal with the fallout when they got back.
It would be a quick wedding then they'd be off to Disneyland to have some fun as new husbands and daughter. It would have been easy for Lucas to order the Hamilton jet, but he needed this to be for him, Tucker, and Zoi. He was still reeling from what his parents told him and maybe one day he would forgive them for lying to him. But it still didn’t explain how he got pregnant.
“Are you ready?”
“Why am I not nervous?”
“What? What brought this on?”
“We are rushing things, right? I mean would we still be getting married if I wasn’t pregnant? I should be nervous or feel as if we were rushing into things too quickly, but all I can think about is how angry I am that my parents kept something so important from me.”
“We can wait if that’s what you want,” Tucker told him. “I can’t say for sure if we would be getting married now if you weren’t pregnant. But, if you’re having doubts, we can wait until you are sure. I don’t want you to feel obligated to marry me because you’re having my child. Or doing this in some ways to spite your family . . .”
“Oh, gods no, I’m not doing this to spite my family for lying to me. I can be childish sometimes, but this is too important for me to act out like that. And you’re right, we wouldn’t know for sure if we’d be getting married if I was pregnant or not.” He paused for a few seconds staring at Tucker who was giving him a new start on love and life. “I don’t want to wait. I knew that I wanted to marry Rebecca and I know that I want to marry you.”
“So, what’s the problem?”
“Nothing.”
“And that’s a problem?” Tucker walked over and stood in front of him. “You can change your mind now, but you need to know once you say 'I do' that’s it. I’m not letting you go.”
“I don’t want you to let me go either.”
“Good, let’s get Zoi and start our life together.” He kissed Lucas quickly then walked out of the bedroom. They still had a lot to work out, but Lucas saw this as his second chance at finding and being loved again, and he wasn’t giving it up.

“Thank you,”Tucker said taking the keys to their hotel room from the receptionist and started walking to the lobby where Lucas and Zoi were waiting for him. They would have stayed at the hotel and casino that Lucas and Tyler owned, but for a few hours, they were trying to keep things away from their family finding out. He knew the Hamiltons had a few reporters in their pockets, which was why their news and lifestyle wasn’t plastered all over the cover of magazines and newspapers.
He was getting married again. He’d been expecting Lucas to call it off. If Tucker was honest with himself, Lucas had a point. He should be nervous or feel a bit apprehensive about everything, but he was calm and seemed more than ready.
“Tucker.” He stopped and turned around when he heard his name being called. He was surprised to see his former sister-in-law, Diane, walking towards him and pulled on the mask he always wore around them once he knew how they felt about him.
