“Damn straight.” Giving me a pointed look, he added, “There is no one in the entire world I would want to spend the rest of my life with but Laurel.”

“If you say so,” I replied as I hopped into the silk pants.

“Come on, Noah. You really can’t imagine getting married and having a family?”

“Sure, I can.” With a wink, I added, “Just not anytime soon.”

“Just wait until some woman gets her hooks into you. Then you’ll be changing your tune.”

“I doubt that seriously.” After adjusting the collar of my shirt, I turned to Mason, “How do I look?”

“Stop fishing for compliments, Egomaniac.”

Shaking my head, I replied, “This isn’t about ego. It’s about representing your and Uncle Pesh’s culture to the best of my abilities.”

Mason snorted. “Oh, well, if you’re going to be all noble and considerate, then fine. You look good.”

“Just good?”

With an exasperated huff, Mason replied, “Fine. You look like a suitable young Hindi man.”

“Glad to hear it.”

A grin curved on Mason’s lips. “You know, you actually look good enough to be a very eligible bachelor on the marriage market.” Waggling his brows, he added, “I’m sure my bapa would be happy to arrange one for you.”

My eyes bulged at the prospect. “Absofuckinglutely not!”

Mason laughed. “Whatever, man.”

“So, tell me. What’s the meat market going to be like at this wedding?”

“Like I would know.”

“Fine. I’ll start with the bridal party and work my way down.”

Mason groaned. “Do me a favor and leave the bridesmaids alone.”

“Come on, man. You know, they’re the easiest targets.”

He shot me a disgusted look. “Oursistersare bridesmaids. Put the shoe on the other foot: would you want some douchey groomsman taking advantage of them?”

“Did you just call me a douche?”

“When you’re acting like a manwhore with no soul, yes.”

I gave him a playful shove. “What if I promise to be a perfect gentleman?”

“Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it.”

“You’re probably right. I’d just be setting myself up for failure the moment I see some of those gorgeous girls shaking their tits and hips during the Sangeet dances.”

“You actually researched the Sangeet?”

I bobbed my head. “Imagine my surprise when I discovered how entertaining it was going to be.”

“You’re impossible.”

“But you love me.”
