“A party we have to plan with you as the focus and hundreds of people to entertain? You’d hate that.” Jack gave him a knowing smile.
“I’d be marrying you. That’s plenty of incentive to endure any kind of social gathering.” He winked at Jack. “I’ll even ask Jaime to be my best man.”
At that proclamation, Jack threw his head back and belly laughed.
“Too much?” He grinned as Jack continued laughing. “What? We’re friends now.” That was an accurate statement, for the most part. Over the past few months, he had made an effort to let go of his anger toward Jack’s ex, and Jaime had made an even greater effort to win him over. His charm still had no effect on Gray, but he couldn’t help but appreciate how hard Jaime was trying because he knew he was doing it to make Jack happy, they both were.
Having laughed so hard he cried, Jack dabbed a cocktail napkin against his eyes. “I’m grateful for how much you’re trying with Jaime, really, but a wedding isn’t supposed to be torture for a groom.”
Jack was always beautiful, but never more so than when he was happy. Gray smiled at him, completely besotted.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know. Like…” Jack’s gaze roamed his face and then his eyes softened, he leaned forward and kissed him. “Let’s go get married.”
Thankfully, the mall in the casino had no shortage of jewelry stores and the strip had no shortage of wedding venues, so an hour later, Gray found himself standing in a tacky pretend chapel, slipping a wide gold band onto his dream man’s ring finger.
“And do you Grayson McClellan take Jack Storm to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to comfort and to honor, in good times and in bad, for better and for worse, and will you keep yourself only unto him, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?”
“I did. I do. I always will,” he said, looking into Jack’s beloved face.
“I love you, Gray.” Jack’s voice was rough with emotion and his blue eyes shone with unshed tears. “This is our forever.”
“Finally.”
The End
