In a sea of candlelight, his brothers and guests, and even Matteo, watched on in silence.

The world disappeared as Levi and Chase fell into their own magical world of love and devotion.

When the song finally ended, Levi watched as Chase got down on one knee and pulled a tiny satin box out of his back pocket.

Levi’s heart stopped once again. Was this really happening? Could this moment be any more magical?

Smiling, Chase looked up at Levi and opened the tiny box.

“Levi. Right from the moment that I laid eyes on you, you’ve had me under your spell. I’ve never met anyone so kind and loving and so damn sexy.” The room erupted into laughter. “But seriously, you take care of everyone all around you, including these crazy shits you call your brothers. You even manage to get cranky Daddy pants over there to smile occasionally, which I know is no easy task. But above all else, I can’t imagine my life without you in it. I want us to grow old together and yell at kids who walk on our lawn together.

“Levi, I promise to always provide for you and protect you and give you the best fucking orgasms of your life. I want to be with you, forever and a day.”

Levi smiled, remembering when he spoke those words to Chase on their first picnic date together in Paris. He had mentioned to Chase that the only thing he truly desired was finding someone who wanted to be with him forever and a day.

Chase remembered.

God, he was the luckiest guy in the world.

“So, please, babe. From the bottom of my heart, will you do me the honor of being my husband? Will you marry me?”

Levi’s hands shook as he looked into the vulnerable, hopeful eyes of the man who made his heart ache whenever they were apart. He wanted to spend the rest of his life waking up next to this big lug of a man.

Without thinking, he leaped into Chase’s arms, knocking them both onto the floor in a tangle of limbs and body parts.

“Yes! Of course, I’ll marry you!” Levi shouted before smashing his lips against Chase’s.

All around them, people erupted in cheers and whistles before Levi felt a body jump down onto his, then another and another.

Laughing, Chase squeezed Levi close to his body as brother after brother piled on top of Levi, burying him and Chase in hugs all around.

“Congrats, you two!” Isaac cried, squeezing Levi tight around the gut.

“It’s about time you made an honest man out of my boy,” Jared said to Chase with one arm wrapped around Levi and the other wrapped around Isaac.

“Any room for me?” Teo asked before squeezing in between Levi and Jared.

“Guess I may as well join in,” a deep voice said, followed by a crushing weight dropping on Levi’s back.

He looked over his shoulder to the smiling face of his older brother, Diesel.

“Always room for you, bro,” Levi chuckled, struggling to breathe under everyone’s weight.

Poor Chase. Was he really ready to join this crazy and fucked up family of misfits?

“When you are all done feeling each other up, I’d like to get a look at the ring, please,” Matteo announced, casting his shadow over the giant Maison de M pile-up of limbs.

“Oh my God! My ring!” Levi shouted, using near Herculean strength to lift his brothers off of his body and snatch the tiny box out of his crushed fiancé’s hand. “Here, here. Put it on me, babe,” Levi squealed, his yellow suit jacket sparkling as his body moved.

Chase chuckled and sat up so he was face-to-face with the love of his life. “Sure thing, babe.”

Levi watched as the giant pink diamond slid across his finger. It was perfect. It was so him.

“It’s beautiful,” Levi gasped.

“Not as beautiful as you,” Chase whispered, grabbing Levi by the back of his head and pulling him in for another kiss.

“I’m so happy for you, son,” Matteo said, standing next to the pile of Maison boys that had been flung off Levi only moments before.
