Noah Kingston and Sawyer Shaw agreed to get married on Valentine's Day in Boston, and the day has finally arrived. Noah wants to give Sawyer the wedding of his dreams, but it won't be perfect without Sawyer's family attending, too.

Sawyer has always had the most faith in their love. When Noah learns Sawyer's family doesn't intend to even see him again if the wedding takes place, Noah wonders if that faith will be enough to get Sawyer down the aisle.

It was a tight fit in the two rented SUVs. Noah was squeezed between his father and Sawyer, but it meant he could hold Sawyer's hand as Jeannie navigated the streets of Boston. Their fingers caressed each other's, and Noah hardly dared to look at Sawyer in case he did something embarrassing like tackle his lover.

It didn't help when Sawyer leaned close and whispered, "I missed you so much."

"I called every day."

"Still missed you." He gave Noah a wicked smile and his first finger, rough from years of playing guitar, stroked Noah's palm. Noah inhaled and stared determinedly out the window at the brightly-lit streets of the city.

"My baby is tired and needs some rest," Sawyer announced when they reached the hotel, which was lush and opulent and marbled, and had a grand main staircase where Noah wanted to pose Sawyer. Sawyer steered Noah to the elevators, and Noah tried not to notice how their friends smirked at each other. "Y'all are on your own for the rest of the night."

"I have meal bars in my room," said Jeannie, "in case you need help recuperating."

"Thank you," said Noah and pulled Sawyer into the elevator. He punched the close door button and yanked Sawyer to him for a hard kiss. Sawyer made little needy noises as he clutched at Noah's shoulders, which became a frustrated groan as the elevator rolled to a smooth stop.
