Lawfully Wed
By Shawn Lane
Chapter 1
I’d had no idea what was involved in getting married when I asked my boyfriend to get hitched. I figured it was simple enough. A civil ceremony. Neither of us were particularly religious, though I guessed my family was. Given that we were two guys marrying, the church wouldn’t exactly cooperate anyway.
But even though I wanted and anticipated a civil ceremony, I also wanted to do it up right. With flowers and champagne. Maybe a sit-down dinner. The fancy cake. I didn’t want to do the quickie wedding at a drive-up Las Vegas chapel.
That wasn’t my style.
Planning a real wedding, though, wasn’t so easy. I wanted to hire a planner, maybe, but those are pricier than you might think. And then you gotta order the flowers and the booze and the dinner.
Maybe the quickie wedding my lover wanted wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
It occurred to me, belatedly—in other words, after I’d asked Scott O’Hara, my partner in the homicide department, as well as my lover, to be my husband—that I probably should have mentioned my intentions to Rivers, our captain, first.
But see, if we’d been a guy and a girl, I probably wouldn’t have even worried about that aspect, although, yeah, I guess being partners on the squad was still a big deal for those romantically involved, but there was still a particular element with us both being males, and I was aware of that, even if it caused more than a little bristling.
Still, I supposed even a heterosexual married couple would have to give up their work partnership.
Scott had accepted, as I was sure he would—I really was, sweaty palms notwithstanding. We’d kept it quiet at first, because Haydon Cliff was dealing with the second serial killer case within a year, but once that had been solved, by another detective pair, Scott and I began to plan our wedding and married life together with renewed vigor.
Or, you know, perhaps that was just me. He still seemed a little less than enthused about the bigger ceremony.
One of us needs to tell the brass,
Scott said one morning as he came out of the bathroom, brushing his teeth.
