giving Shea a playful shove.
Shea laughed and gave Sebastian a punch in the shoulder.
“That’s because I’m hoping to find a hook-up at your wedding.”
Sebastian threw his head back and laughed. Henry, too,
thought that was amusing. Christian? Not so much. He did not need to see Shea
hooking up with one of his or Raelynn’s family members, or anyone else for that
matter. It was hard enough knowing that Shea was currently seeing someone. He
said she was just a friend with benefits, but still, it hurt Christian’s heart.
Not that Shea had any idea of how Christian felt about him.
“Our cousins are not that good looking,” Christian mumbled.
“True, but Raelynn’s got a couple of cute ones on her side,”
Sebastian said.
“How can your cousins not be good looking? You are all studs
and you don’t have one decent looking family member?” Shea asked incredulously.
“We were the lucky ones,” Sebastian said grimly.
“You could say that again.” Henry snorted. “I think Whitney
has that wolf man’s disease. I swear she’s got a full beard.”
“What?” Shea asked dryly, glancing at Christian.
Christian winced but nodded, it was sad but true. Their
cousin Whitney was in her late thirties and had more hair on her face than he
did. Christian always wondered why she didn’t do something about it, she could
be pretty if she would just shave or get laser hair removal.
“Then there’s Gretchen,” Sebastian said. “She’s got a mole
on her cheek.”
“So?” Shea frowned.
“I’m talking
like Austin Powers, poke it with a stick while saying, ‘Moley, moley, moley.’
It’s the size of a quarter.” Sebastian made a circle with his thumb and
forefinger and put it up to his cheek. “Bam! Right there. It wouldn’t be too
bad if she plucked those monster black hairs from the center of it.”
Shea visibly shuddered while Henry snickered. Christian
smirked and shook his head. Only Sebastian .
“What about Amber?” Henry asked. “She’s not too bad,” he
said, fixing his tie in the small oval mirror that sat on the counter next to
him.
Sebastian shook his head. “Her name is now Adam.”
“What? When did that happen?” Henry squawked, whirling
around to gawk at Sebastian.
“Just recently. Mom told me when we were sending out
invitations that she...I mean he...I mean...shit! Amber is now Adam. That’s all
I fucking know!” Sebastian huffed, throwing his arms up.
Henry turned to look at Christian with wide eyes. “Did you
know?”
Christian shook his head. “This is news to me.”
“Did she get the whole…you know…sex change?” Henry whispered
so the other customers in the store didn’t overhear him.
“Yep, mom gave me all the gruesome details, which may have
completely scarred me for life. I
will never be able to look Amber…shit, I mean Adam, in the eyes ever again,”
Sebastian said.
Henry grimaced. “Well, Shea, looks like you’re screwed. The
rest of our cousins are guys,” Henry said sympathetically and patted his
shoulder.
“Meh, maybe I’ll just get drunk enough to make one of them
look good.” Shea shrugged.
Henry and Sebastian started laughing while Christian just
rolled his eyes. Sebastian’s wedding was going to be a party to remember, that
was for sure, and Christian couldn’t wait. He was thinking that maybe he’d get
drunk enough to tell Shea how he really felt, just to get it off his chest, and
then he would pray to god that Shea was too drunk to remember it.

Quinn and Margot made it to Paris with no problems. He was
tired and hungry, not a good combination for him. Margot was unusually quiet
and depressed. He understood why, but it freaked him out. She was always the
happy-go-lucky one; she always had a smile on her face, but not now, not since
finding out that her father died. Quinn was a bit nervous about meeting
