Abruptly, the crowd stopped and the talking ceased except for a few gasps.

Star dust, bloody hell and imploding planets. Aiden scrambled off of Nate’s lap and grabbed his cravat. Nate stood and gripped his waist, steadying him.

As he tugged at the collar of his shirt, trying to cover his neck, Father appeared in the doorway. Pushing Braxton aside, the king motioned to them to follow him. “Deverell, you should probably say something before we start getting offers to stand in as our seconds.”

Aiden swallowed the lump in his throat, wincing at the pain.

Clasping Aiden’s hand, Nate led them out of the washroom into the crowd, behind Father.

Aiden wanted to sink into the floor when he caught sight of all the people in the hallway. To make matters worse, Cony looked like he was ready to explode.

Nate squeezed his hand tighter, then lifted it to his mouth and kissed the back of it. He bowed his head toward Father, then straightened. “Your Majesty, I’m sorry. I know you wanted to announce mine and Aiden’s nuptials yourself, but under the circumstances…”

Nuptials? What? Aiden glanced up at Nate.

Nate smiled and winked.

Yep, he’s definitely lost his mind.

Nate turned back toward the mass. “Aiden and I took vows as of today.”

Aiden blinked, once, twice, three times. Nope, he was still here in a packed hallway holding his dream man’s hand. And to make matters worse his own hands were starting to sweat. Could Nate hear his heartbeat too?

Father cleared his throat. “We were going to save the news of their marriage for the ball we were planning to celebrate this news, but since the newlyweds obviously were”—he chuckled—“acting like newlyweds… And I must admit, it’s my fault, my apologies everyone, I should have never forced them to come to a soiree on their wedding night. So, if you will all excuse us, I believe we will now retire to the castle.” Father grabbed Cony’s hand and turned.

Giving Nate and Aiden one last look, Cony let Father lead him away.

Uh-oh. Aiden worried his bottom lip. Cony had had that tick in his jaw he got when he was mad.

People rushed around Aiden and Nate offering their congratulations, patting their backs. There were several snickers and innuendos that Aiden didn’t quite catch and someone called him Earl-Consort Deverell. His surroundings were beginning to get a little fuzzy. The only thing convincing him it wasn’t a dream was Nate’s heat beside him, Nate’s firm grip on his hand, steadying him and somehow giving him strength.

Aiden smiled and took the congratulations, never letting go of Nate. Somehow or another they made it outside and into the lift.

As soon as they got in and closed the door, Nate held his hand again and told his parents what happened. After the shock wore off and Cony called the castle ordering the security heightened and an armed escort to meet them, Cony slid across the seat and kissed his forehead. “Are you all right?”

Aiden nodded. “Thanks to Nate.”

Looking up, Cony gave a quick dip of his head.
