tears, which had taken nearly ten minutes to dry up.
When she’d spoken about her parents and her love for them he knew then and there that there was only one place they could spend their honeymoon. Within twenty-four hours of that conversation everything had been booked and confirmed.
“You’re deep in thought.”
“Hmm.” He pulled her down into his lap.
“I’m so overwhelmed, Michael. I can’t believe you’d think of something like this.”
Michael grinned and waited for her to realize how what she said sounded.
Then it clicked. “I didn’t mean. I mean. Oh God.” She kissed him. “I love you and I didn’t mean that how it sounded. It’s just that nobody has ever done anything so…wow for me before. Thank you for loving me.”
“Oh babe. I’ll love you always.”

Lily had looked stunning when she’d walked down the aisle towards his nervous as hell brother, Michael.
Sebastian and his brothers had spent most of the day having fun at Michael’s expense, which probably hadn’t helped any with Michael’s nerves.
Sebastian grinned, thinking back to the four of them, asking him what he’d do if Lily had cold feet and ran. Michael had gone white and dropped rather abruptly onto the chair behind him. Lucien had made for the exit, only to have Michael ask him where he was going. They’d all had a good laugh when Lucien, replied, ‘he was going to go and ask Lily to run off with him’. Eventually, their mom had appeared and clouted them all across the back of their heads, like she used to do when they were kids, and put a stop to the teasing. Yeah, their mom still had it in her to keep them all in order, despite the fact that the five of her sons towered over her these days.
The fact was , you only had to look at Lily with Michael to see how much she loved him. They were ‘it’ for each other, and with Lily being pregnant, well, that was an added bonus. One he was actually looking forward to – being an uncle.
Spotting Lily alone for the first time during the day, he walked over to her. “Hey, beautiful.”
“Sebastian, you look handsome ,” she replied, giving him a hug.
She stepped back and continued to look at him – and looked at him some more. Sebastian had taken his jacket off, which left him in the white silk shirt Lily had instructed them all to wear. Not that he was complaining because without the jacket it showcased his abs, which he’d gotten through hard labor, working the job sites of their company, McKenzie Holdings.
Lily was really having a good look at him.
“You eyeing me up?” he asked grinning.
“Yep. I’m trying to decide who I need to introduce you to.” She grinned.
“No, you’re not going to introduce me to…” he trailed off, his gaze coming to rest on a woman across the way. “Her.”
She was breathtaking as she walked out of the marquee. One of the most beautiful women he’d ever seen with a tall slim build. Her long dark hair, fell in curls down her back, and over her shoulders to her full breasts.
“Ah, Sebastian,” Lily said.
“Who’s she here with?” He needed to know. “Lily, who is that bodacious babe with?” He’d never been so desperate to meet someone before, especially a woman who had ‘commitment’ written all over her.
Lily snickered. “You did not just call her a bodacious babe? How old are you? Seventeen!”
“Trust me, no horny seventeen year old boy would be thinking of doing what I’m t hinking of doing to her.” What he wanted to do to her wasn’t going to be spoken out loud in front of Lily. Michael would kill him if he said any of that to her.
“Bodacious!”
“Bill and Ted’s,” Sebastian replied, not really listening.
“What?”
“Never mind. You haven’t said who she’s with.” He
