chair and sighed. “Whatever.”
    “Does that mean I’m invited to the bachelor party?” Scarlet asked.
    “Unfortunately,” Ryan said. He was smiling so we all knew he was joking.
    “Oooh,” Scarlet said excitedly. “That will be so much fun.”
    If Scarlet was going, I wondered if I could drag my fiancé along.
    “Since we’re discussing my wedding, I guess I should announce my best man,” I said.
    Sean looked at me, assuming it would be him.
    I turned to Cortland. “You’ll be my best man?”
    Sean turned red in the face. “Are you kidding me? You’re going to ask him over your own brother?”
    Cortland played along. “Of course I will.”
    “This is bullshit,” Sean snapped.
    “Calm the hell down,” I said. “I’m kidding.”
    “You are?” Sean asked timidly.
    “Of course I want it to be you.”
    Sean calmed down. “Oh.” I could tell he felt like an idiot. “Thanks. That means a lot to me.”
    “There’s no one I’d rather stand beside me.” I didn’t mean for this to turn mushy-mushy, but it did really quickly.
    “Yeah…” Sean looked away, the emotion becoming too much.
    Ryan looked at Scarlet. “Your husband is a pussy.”
    She smiled. “Leave him alone, Ryan. You made me cry when you asked me to be your best man, so I’m a pussy too.” She hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him.
    Sean rested his hand on her thigh and returned the kiss.
    “So, where are we having this wedding?” Monnique asked.
    “Well, we haven’t discussed it,” Cassandra said. She turned to me. “I was hoping to have it at the house right on the beach…”
    My fiancé could have whatever she wanted. “That sounds great.”
    “Really?” she asked.
    “Yeah. We can sneak away and have sex whenever we want.”
    She rolled her eyes. “Do you think of anything else?”
    I put my hand on her stomach. “What do you think?”
    She rolled her eyes again.
    “If you get the guest list to me, I can make and send out the invitations,” Monnique offered. “And whatever else you need.”
    “And I can do the center pieces and flowers,” Janice volunteered. “I already know a lot about that because of my wedding.”
    “That would be great,” Cassandra said. “Thanks.”
    “We can pick out the food,” Scarlet said. “The people who catered our wedding did a pretty good job. I can give you their name.”
    “It was good,” I said. “I ate two plates.”
    “You always eat two plates,” Cassandra said.
    “Well, I’m this big for a r eason.” I gave her a firm look.
    “And I love all of it.” She rubbed her hand down my hard chest.
    “Anyway…” Sean looked away.
    I wanted to piss him off. “Baby, what’s my nickname?”
    Her cheeks reddened. “Baby.” She knew that wasn’t the right one. I could tell by the look on her face.
    “No. Not that one.”
    She looked away. “Let’s just keep that between us.”
    “Come on, baby.” I rested my hand on her neck. “Tell them.”
    “Now I’m curious,” Scarlet said.
    Cassandra’s cheeks were red. “Mr. Ten Inches.”
    Sean cringed. “Gross.”
    “Because I’m twice your size,” I jabbed.
    Sean shook his head. “Definitely not. Tell them, Scar.”
    “I’m not going to discuss my husband’s privacy with everyone else.”
    “That’s a first,” Ryan jabbed.
    “Tell them,” Sean said firmly. “Or I’ll have to whip it out myself.”
    Scarlet rolled her eyes. “He’s about the same size.” She looked at Sean. “There?”
    “Thank you.” He smirked at her.
    “About?” I asked. “That sounds shaky.”
    “I don’t measure it,” she snapped. “I don’t even have enough time to look at it before it’s inside me.”
    Ryan closed his eyes and sighed. “I’m not drunk enough for this.”
    “Let’s talk about something else,” Cassandra said.
    “Thank you,” Ryan said. “Because I’d put both of you to shame.”
    Janice pressed her chest into him. “Yes, you would.”
    Flynn looked at Hazel and winked at
