“Answer me one thing, is he treating you great?” Lucas asked.
Mayson smirked. “I’m almost in love, that’s how good I’m being treated.”
Tucker more than anyone knew how much Mayson wanted to be in love and have a family of his own. “Not close to marriage but almost in love.” Tucker snorted, and everyone turned to look at him. “Just send me the wedding invitation when he says yes.”
“Nope, we’re going to elope the way you and your man did,” Mayson said to him.
“Please tell me you’re still not angry with me?” Tucker asked. Since Mayson went to work for the Seeker organization, they transitioned from coworkers to friends easily. Like the twins, he was curious as to whom Mayson was dating but knew he would find out when his friend was ready to tell him.
“I’m so angry, I went out and bought you guys a new toaster that’s currently sitting on my kitchen counter. You guys owe me fifty bucks by the way,” Mayson said with a cheeky smile.
“You guys are pretty close, huh?” Seth asked.
Lucas tilted his head and narrowed his eyes at Seth, and that’s when Tucker knew that his husband figured it out. He went to move to stand between Lucas and Seth, but the front door opened. He was surprised when Asher walked in. Lucas stood and looked between his father and Seth. Tucker watched his husband’s face go from shock to anger in a matter of seconds.
“How fucking could you? How could you do that to Mom?” he yelled, shocking his father and everyone else in the room.
“What . . .” Asher went to say when Seth stood beside Lucas and Tyler going over to his brother. Asher’s face paled as he looked at all three men. There was no denying that Seth was his son.
Fuck, shit is about to hit the fan.

How could he do this?
Lucas glared at his father, the instant pain he felt in his chest hurt more than when he found out that his parents lied to him. The veil he’d been wearing over his eyes whenever he looked at his father fell. The man he saw as his hero in every way, but this second, he had no idea who he was staring at. The anger he had towards Seth since the first time they met now turned to pity.Did he know? By the terrified expression on his face, I guess he did.
“Lucas, Tyler, I can explain,” Asher said.
“Explain what?” Tyler asked.
“How could you?” Lucas asked again. “How could you have done this to our family?”
“Will someone explain to me what the fuck is going on?” Tyler yelled.
“What color are Seth’s eyes?” Lucas asked his brother.
“What the hell do I care about his eyes?”
“Just look,” Lucas demanded.
“Fine,” Tyler said stepping closer to Seth staring in his face. “They are green and blue, so what?”
“Look at his facial features and then at mine and then Dad’s.”
“What . . .”
“Just fucking do it, Ty.”
“All right.”
Tyler stared at Seth who looked completely uncomfortable, but he needed his brother to see the resemblance between all three of them. Tyler’s eyes widened and then he looked at him, then he turned and looked at their father, who still looked as if he wanted to run out of the room. But the Asher Hamilton he knew never ran from a fight.
“Gods, Dad, what did you do?” Tyler asked. It wasn’t anger that Lucas heard in his voice, but disappointment. “How could you do this to Mom?”
“It’s not what you think,” Asher whispered looking ashamed knowing he disappointed his children.
“What I think is that you cheated on Mom,” Lucas yelled unable to hide his anger. “Gods, does Mom know? Does she know that you cheated on her, or that you have another son? How many more secrets do you have that will come out to bite us in the ass?”
