Finn tried, and it was a fail. They ended up on their asses, laughing so hard, someone almost pissed herself.

Or so she said.

“Okay, no peeing in the castle,” Graham stated. “That’s frowned upon now. Back then, maybe not.”

Michael laughed and slapped Graham on the ass.

HARD.

“You hold that thought,” he said to his husband. “We’ll address that later.”

That made Michael grin wickedly.

His husband was right about that.

“I’ll get Elizabeth,” Michael stated. “You grab Gabby. Ethan and Finn are on their own.”

Both men laughed from the floor.

It was clear neither minded their wives being carried since they weren’t doing it.

While Michael was drunk—as in couldn’t drive a car—he absolutely could carry a person.

So, he did.

He tossed Elizabeth over his shoulder.

“Why is the room upside down?” she asked, laughing. “Why is this ass right here, and why isn’t it my husband's?”

Oh, she was big drunk.

Someone was going to have a hangover in the morning. That was another reason why they headed home at eleven and not three when the pub closed.

Well, that and the massive tab.

Graham was horrified by the amount, but Ethan and Elizabeth didn’t even bat an eye when they paid with their credit card.

When the owner saw the telltale black card, his eyes had gone huge, and he realized that the two people who were running the tab were definitely good for it.

In fact, he’d said they could come back anytime. The bar fight was forgotten, and there was no insult there.

That was for sure.

As they got them up the stairs, somehow, Gabby said the words NO ONE wanted to hear.

“I think I’m going to puke.”

Oh, well, he got her to the guest room in time to pass her off to Finn and wish them good luck.

“Not my kink,” he said to his best friend. “Good luck. You married her. You get the vomit that goes with her.”

He just laughed.

Well, that and they both crawled across the floor to the attached bathroom as Graham closed the door.

Not far away, Michael dumped Elizabeth into the bed, and had to pick Ethan up to put him there too.

“Don’t do anything stupid,” he said.
