Well, if it isn't the blushing bride?

Once Gail graduated college with a degree in early childhood development, I kept my word and married her. Hayden and I had a leave from our missions, so we used that to fulfill my promise without Mason's input.

We flew our girls to Las Vegas to meet us there. Mason thought Hayden and I were taking a vacation to bond. Why the fuck do I need to vacation with a brother I met a few years ago to bond? We bonded on our missions.

We used aliases in Las Vegas, so Mason wasn't wise about what we were doing. As far as he's concerned, Hayden and I are living it up in Mexico.

Our plane landed before Gail and Michelle's did. So, it gave us time to check into the hotel and get settled before collecting our girls.

The strip was bustling with activity while we waited at the airport. A few minutes later, Gail and Michelle exited the terminal and glanced around before spotting us.

I glanced at Hayden with a raised brow. "You have a thing for redheads, too?"

"I guess we're more alike than we thought," Hayden said.

I shook my head and walked toward Gail. She broke out into a run toward me. Once she reached me, I hoisted her into my arms and spun her around before planting one hell of a kiss on her. Gail wrapped her arms around my neck and legs around my waist as she passionately returned the kiss.

Hayden cleared his throat to get our attention.

I released Gail and set her on her feet while taking her bag from her and keeping an arm around her waist. "Thanks for the cockblock."

"Anytime, little brother." Hayden smirked.

"Keep it up, and I'll wipe that smug look off your face."

"I liked to see you try." Hayden cracked his neck and smiled slightly.

"How about neither of you duke it out? You can wait until after the wedding," Gail said.

I glanced at Gail and arched my brow. "Must you ruin all my fun?"

"It's not like you won't have plenty of opportunities to kick Hayden's ass. But I want to get married before Mason figures out our plans." Gail patted my chest.

"We're heading to the hotel to freshen up before hitting a chapel to get married. Then we're having dinner."

"Works for me." Gail beamed with happiness.

Hayden and I took our girls to the hotel and got them settled before everyone showered and changed. I wore a pair of black slacks and a short-sleeved blue shirt. Gail wore a cream color dress that reached her calves. We wanted to look nice but not draw attention to ourselves.

We arrived at a little wedding chapel with an Elvis impersonator. Hayden was my best man, while Michelle was Gail's maid of honor at the moment.

"Wise men say only fools rush in, but waiting when falling in love is foolish. Do you take this woman as your wife?" Fake Elvis asked.

"I do," I said while gazing at Gail.

"Take his hand and whole life, too. Do you take this man as your husband?"

"Always," Gail said with a grin.

"They say fools rush in, but you can't help who you fall in love with. By the power of Nevada, I pronounce you husband and wife. Thank you. Thank you very much."

Gail threw her head back and laughed as I pulled her into a kiss to seal the deal. Hayden and Michelle signed the marriage license before switching spots with us.
