“I’m a private investigator,” Seth replied. “If I couldn’t find her, I wouldn’t be very good at my job.” Of course, the Tiffany necklace he’d given Heavenly with the embedded GPS chip helped, too.
Beck shot him a knowing smirk.
“Clearly, a bloody good one.” Liam’s sister looked impressed.
“He is.” Heavenly smiled, toying with said necklace.
Thank god she never took it off.
“He’s good at everything, isn’t he, little girl?” Beck drawled.
A blush stained her cheeks. Seth fought the urge to press his lips to hers, but he would only want more. For now, he lowered his hand beneath the table and stroked her thigh, trying not to think about anything except how good she felt.
“You both are.” She smiled shyly as his hand collided with Beck’s under her skirt.
“Great minds.” Beck smirked before taking a sip of water.
“Come on, girls,” Meg prodded. “We promised Da we’d take photos. If we don’t send some by morning, he’ll get his knickers in a twist.”
“That he will.” Aisling pushed her plate away and rose, tugging her cell phone from her clutch, nodding as the others followed suit. “We’ll be back.”
As the sisters began happily snapping photos of the decorations and people, Zach shook his head.
“What’s wrong?” Beck asked his brother. “Liam’s sisters too much for you?”
“They’re…talkative. They pick up where the last one leaves off. It’s…”
“Exhausting?” Seth drawled.
“Just…different, like everything today.”
“You mean the handfasting ceremony?” Beck asked.
“Yes, but I’m more surprised you officiated it.”
“I did it for them,” Beck said, nodding toward Hammer, Liam, and Raine. “They’re some of my best friends. They deserve happiness.”
“I gathered. It’s just…I’ve never heard anyone curse at the pulpit before.”
Heavenly covered her mouth to hide her giggle. Beck laughed, long and hard. Seth choked out an appropriate chortle. Would this night ever fucking end? He just wanted to go home, undress their girl with Beck, lose himself inside her, and stop thinking about this maudlin shit.
If you do, how will that change tomorrow?
The deejay started up a new song, a slow ballad. Beck held out his hand to Heavenly. “How about a dance?”
She took it with a smile. “That’s so romantic. I’d love to.”
He helped her to her feet and winked. “It also gives me a chance to rub up against you.”
Her smile widened. “That works for me, too.”
He led her to the middle of the floor and turned her into his arms. Seth looked on, both resentful that he wasn’t holding her and grateful to have a few moments alone.
“I envy them,” Zach said.
Seth tugged his attention back across the table. He’d been so focused on Beck and Heavenly, he’d forgotten the guy still sat three chairs away. “Who?”
“Liam, Raine, and Hammer.” He nodded at the trio across the room, approaching their white confection of a wedding cake.
