”
    Shea
smiled warmly. “ You ’ re
welcome, sweetie pie, ” he teased.
    Christian
chuckled and rested his hand on Shea ’ s
thigh. Shea covered Christian ’ s hand with
his own. This was so right. Shea knew at that moment that he had made the right
decision last night, and he was going to show Christian just how fucking
serious he was about it. He was in this relationship for the long haul, and he
would make sure Christian knew it. Shea Dempsey didn ’ t
do anything half-assed, and he wasn ’ t
going to start now.

 
 
 

~Chapter 2 ~

 
    Two
weeks later, Christian drove to his parents ’ house for dinner; Shea was working late and couldn ’ t
make it. The job he was working was taking up a lot of his time because the client
had a deadline. Shea had been busting his ass for the past week and a half,
working the weekend and everything. Christian had only seen him for an hour or
so the other night and that had been it since he started the job.
    Sebastian
and Raelynn were back from their honeymoon in Aruba and had pictures to show
them all, so Christian ’ s mother,
Anne, was having everyone over for dinner. Christian parked his blue Honda
Accord in the driveway behind Henry ’ s
white BMW. He got out of his car just as Quinn and Margot pulled up. He waited
for them to get out of their car. Margot smiled wide and waved as she walked up
to him.
    “ Bonjour,
Christian! ” she said
happily and kissed both his cheeks before giving him a hug.
    “ Bonjour,
Margot, ” he replied
with a smile.
    She
let him go and started up the walkway to the house. Christian turned toward
Quinn who stopped in next to him. “ She ’ s
perkier than normal. ” He
chuckled.
    “ Quit
looking at my woman ’ s chest, ” Quinn replied.
    Christian
gaped at him. “ I...I wasn ’ t... ”
    Quinn
smiled. “ Relax,
Chris, I ’ m just
fucking with ya, ” he said
and clapped Christian on the back before draping his arm over his shoulders.
    Christian
narrowed his eyes at Quinn. His brother has definitely changed a lot since
Margot came into his life. He still has not gotten used to Quinn cracking
jokes, or actually touching him all of a sudden. Ever since he came back from
that week that he left without a word, he has been a completely different
person - he talked more, he laughed more, and even his face was more
expressive.
    Quinn
was also in the process of starting his own architectural firm. Since his
former friend and boss, Peter, fired him, Quinn decided that he wanted to be
his own boss. Margot also quit her job at Peter ’ s
firm and was going to be Quinn ’ s second in
command.
    They
walked into the house together and were met with hugs, kisses, and punches to
the gut; those were from Sebastian, of course. Christian took Adalyn from Henry ’ s
arms since she started reaching for him and grunting as soon as she saw him.
Christian smiled at her. She seemed to like him the best, and he loved to rub
it in Sebastian and Quinn ’ s faces.
Adalyn was the only girl so far, and they all wanted to be her favorite, but
she always wanted Christian.
    Suddenly,
all of the women started screaming. Christian looked up to find them all
huddled around Margot clutching her left hand. He whirled around to look at
Quinn, who was beaming, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched the women
fawn over his fiancé. Anne broke away from the ladies and went to Quinn. She grabbed his face and
kissed him.
    “ Oh,
honey, I ’ m so happy
for you! ” she cried.
    “ Thanks,
mom, ” Quinn murmured.
    Henry
was next to congratulate Quinn. “ When
did this happen? ” he asked
after giving Quinn a hug.
    “ I
actually proposed at the reception, but we decided to let Sebastian and Raelynn
have their time in the spotlight before we told everyone. ” Quinn shrugged.
    “ Aw,
Quinn, that was so sweet of you, ” Raelynn said sincerely and gave him a hug.
    Christian
moved in to give Quinn a hug. “ Congrats,
man. ”
    “ Thanks. ”
    Christian
