He tucked his fingers under his mate’s chin and looked him right in the eyes. “I love you.”

Atlas’s lips parted in surprise. “What made you say it?”

“A little human who agreed to go home with a sorry sack like me and showed me what courage really looks like.” He kissed his mate tenderly. “I’m also told he has a family of geese and baby ducklings to look after.”

Atlas grinned. “You’ll have to introduce me to him one day.”

Kellen laughed, hugging Atlas to him. “All you have to do is look in the mirror and you’ll meet the man who stole my heart.”

Atlas’s jaw dropped, and his breath caught as Kellen strode into the kitchen, dressed to the nines in a sleek black suit, crisp white shirt, and a pale yellow silk tie that made his green eyes stand out. The black dress shoes he wore gleamed under the light, adding to his overall suave appearance.

Atlas couldn’t tear his eyes away from his mate, who exuded elegance and poise, even with his large size. Kellen was already gorgeous to him, but in that moment, Atlas was overcome with a desire to throw his mate to the floor and worship every inch of his perfect body.

“What do you think?” Kellen held out his arms.

“I think every guy there will wish they could look as good as you.” He ran his hand up Kellen’s chest, but his mate smacked it away.

“You can take your liberties after the wedding. I have to at least show up looking wrinkle-free before you wreck me.”

Atlas licked his lips. “I’m going to have to beat the women off you.”

With a growl, Kellen raked his gaze over Atlas. “Look who’s talking. I’m going to have a hard-on the entire time you’re on my arm, sexy.”

There was no way Atlas looked better in his suit than Kellen. Even the guy’s butt looked delicious in his slacks.

“Stop looking like you’re going to consume me.”

Atlas pinched Kellen’s butt. “Every inch of you.”

“No groping each other,” Colt said as he walked into the room. “I feel like I’m suffocating in this getup.”

Jennifer had insisted that Atlas was changed to a plus-two so Colt could join them.

“Are you joking? You look very handsome,” Atlas said as Kellen closed the distance and straightened his brother’s tie. He wore the same colors as them, except his tie was coral.

Standing next to each other, the Sager brothers were heartthrobs. Then Atlas frowned. “Get those fucking boots off your feet and put on the shoes Kellen loaned you!”

“They made me slip everywhere,” Colt argued. “Isn’t it enough I put this funeral director suit on?”

Kellen wasn’t the only work in progress. “Get the shoes while I force those boots off Colt’s feet.”

With a roll of his eyes, Kellen walked away. “We’re going to be late.”

They were way ahead of schedule. Atlas wasn’t sure how he dealt with them without losing his mind.

“I appreciate the invite, but this isn’t my style, Atlas.” Colt looked as if he was actually pouting.

“Stop whining,” Atlas said. “You look amazing. You’re going to the wedding, and afterward, you can eat as much free food as you want at the reception.”

“Will any hot twinks be there?” Colt wiggled his brows.

The guy was hopeless, but he was family. “I have no idea. Just as long as you’re not caught in a closet getting naked with anyone, feel free to find a hookup.” He pointed a finger at Colt. “Sex after the reception, not during.”

“Who’s having sex?” Kellen returned with the shoes.

“You, if you keep looking that good in your suit.” Atlas smirked. “My sister might end up resenting you for outshining the groom.”
