“You mean she’s not stick thin?” Chris asked, his lips pressed together.
“You said it, not me,” Dane denied, shaking his head vigorously. “I just said she’s not my type.”
“Fuck, don’t let Amanda hear you say that. She’ll kick you in the balls,” Chris declared. “Sometimes you can be a real shit, Dane. Let’s just drop the whole damn subject. I think I’m man enough to keep Susie company for a few days without whining.”
Seb watched the exchange between Dane and Christian with interest. Chris was always easy-going and willing to help out so his attitude about spending a few days with Susie wasn’t a surprise, but his hard-ass attitude with Dane was unusual.
“Did you tell them about the wedding?”
Amanda had joined them, linking her arm with Seb’s. “I did. Chris is going to be the best man and Dane one of the groomsmen. How did Susie take the news?”
“She’s excited.” Amanda’s smiled and squeezed his hand. “We’ve already got a date to go dress shopping.”
Dane shook his head and headed for the bar. “I need another drink if all you’re going to talk about is wedding shit from now on.”
Amanda’s eyebrows shot up at Dane’s hasty departure. “Wow, is he okay? I promise to keep the wedding talk to a minimum if it bothers him that much.”
“Talk about it as much as you want,” Seb growled, already tired of Dane’s shit. “He’s got the usual bug up his ass that we all simply ignore.”
“I’ll deal with him.” Chris tossed back the remainder of his beer. “I think it’s time for him and me to have a chat about not being the center of the fucking universe.”
Seb and Amanda watched as Chris strode after Dane, his features set with purpose. Seb didn’t envy Dane right now. Chris rarely lost his temper but something told Seb that today was going to be the exception.
“Never a dull moment with you three,” Amanda chuckled, looking up at him from under her lashes. “I can’t wait for the party to be over so we can be alone. I believe we have a date to make love under the stars.”
Seb looked down into the melting blue eyes of the woman he loved. “Later,” he promised. He couldn’t wait until this party was over and everyone was gone. He wanted to be alone with Amanda.
“Later,” she agreed.
After all, they had forever.
