Before they left for their trip. Roman took his brother to the jewelry store.
"So, what are we doing here?", Rosey asked.
He was sure he already knew the answer to that, but wanted Roman to say it.
"I want to ask her to marry me. I know we don't even have a year together, but, I know she is the one.", Roman replied.
Rosey smiled.
"Well, that's all I need to know. Let's see some rings", his brother said.
Lynn was done packing when Roman came back. He smiled when he saw her.
"Where have you been?", she asked.
He kissed her.
"Just went on a quick shopping trip with my brother.", he replied.
"He doesn't want to go to the beach with us?", she asked.
"No, but he does want us to enjoy ourselves.", he replied.
She nodded.
"All packed?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Peyton packed up for her and Dean. My brother is also packed. Its why I asked where you were. You didn't take him with you", Lynn said.
"My cousins also say sorry, their ladies can't make it. A family thing came up with each", Roman said.
Lynn shrugged.
"Next time", she said.
He nodded.
Once they got to the beach house, Lynn couldn't believe how big it was.
"Plenty of rooms and space so we aren't in each other's faces", Roman whispered.
"Love it", she replied.
They each got off. Dean, Seth, and Liam helping take down the bags. Jimmy and Jey as well.
"Man, I love coming to this place. Private beach all to ourselves", Jimmy said.
"Should we rest up or maybe go get some groceries for the weekend first?", Dean asked.
"I could eat", Lynn replied.
"Me too", Peyton seconded.
"Then its settled. Lynn and I can go shopping, while you guys settle in", Roman said.
"Alright, just watch your backs", Dean said, after Peyton bumped him.
She knew he would be against letting them go without a guard. She had spoken about it to him, letting him know that sometimes his friend needed a little space.
Every bone and fiber in his body was telling him to take back his words, but he knew Peyton was right.
"Did Dean just let us go by ourselves without fighting us?", Lynn asked.
Peyton winked.
"Go before he changes his mind", Peyton said.
Lynn and Roman didn't hesitate. Getting closer to the town and finding a store, they walked in hand in hand. Lynn noticed that Roman had put a hat on and hid his hair under it.
Dean was pacing.
"Maybe I shouldn't have let them go without someone. It was stupid of me. Someone could recognize them and follow them back or worse. We won't even know it because we are here", Dean rambled.
Peyton smiled at him. She held her hand out to him and he stopped, taking it and sitting beside her.
"They will be fine.", she whispered, before kissing his cheek.
He sighed and nodded.
Seth and Liam were on the couch, Seth straddling Liam. Liam's hands squeezing Seth's ass. Seth would grind against Liam and his boyfriend would growl and bit his lip.
"That car ride was too long", Liam whispered.
Seth panted and nodded. Liam rested his forehead against Seth's.
"I love you, Seth", Liam whispered.
Seth smiled.
"I love you too, baby", he replied.
"And yes, when Lynn moves here with Roman and becomes Queen, I will move in with you. I will scream it from the top of a mountain how much I love you", Liam whispered, looking Seth in his eyes.
"You would?", he asked.
Liam nodded with a smile, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I would", he replied.
Seth connected their lips in a passionate kiss. Liam stood as Seth wrapped his legs around Liam's waist.
Once Lynn and Roman were done, they were driving back home. Lynn spotted a tattoo shop.
"Oh, we should get matching tattoos", she said.
Roman chuckled.
"Sounds good", he nodded.
"I'm serious. Why not?", she asked.
He looked over at her.
"I mean, you really want too, we can check it out. See if there is anything you like", Roman said.
She nodded.
"Tomorrow?", she asked.
"We can do that", he replied.
She leaned over and kissed him. When they got back to the house, Roman noticed a car. He saw Lynn get excited.
"They are here", she said.
"Who?", he asked.
"Corey and Mella. I invited them. They were there when I told everyone else and I felt bad not including them.", she said.
Roman nodded as Lynn rushed off the car and hugged Corey. He squeezed the steering wheel before getting off himself and saying hello.
"Here, I can help you", Corey said to him.
Roman nodded as he made his way to the back. Grabbing bags and going inside. Lynn went over to Roman and squeezed his arm.
"Are you mad they are here?", she asked.
He met her eyes.
"Are you happy they're here?", he asked.
She nodded. He smiled.
"Then no, baby. You are allowed to invite who you want. Show them to a room", he said.
She nodded and turned. He quickly caught her arm and pulled her back in.
"Far, far from our room", he whispered.
"You got it", she replied, her hand snaking down his back and grabbing a handful of his ass.
He licked his lips as she moved away from him.
"Playing with fire, woman", he shouted after her.
She giggled. Corey had heard and after she showed them to their room, he stopped Lynn.
"Did I hear him threaten you?", he asked.
He had heard the playing with fire comment. Carmella chuckled.
"Just with hot sex", Carmella said.
Corey made a face and both women laughed. Liam came around the corner.
"Hey, heard you two were here", he said, kissing Mella on her cheek before doing his handshake with Corey.
"I don't think the big guy likes it, but I don't care", Corey said.
"Corey, cut it out", Mella said.
Corey held his hands up. Liam chuckled.
"We on for a run tomorrow morning?", Liam asked.
Corey nodded.
"Can I can come? Its been awhile since I've gotten a good run in", Lynn said.
"Sure", Liam replied.
Lynn showed Mella and Corey their room.
"This house is huge", Mella said.
"You have no idea. On the other side of this wall, there is a whole other house", Lynn said.
"Where are you and big man sleeping?", Corey asked.
"Upstairs, in the master suite", Lynn replied.
He nodded.
"Dinner will be ready in a few hours, so if you guys want to take a quick nap, go for it", Lynn said.
They both nodded as Lynn closed the door to their room. She made her way to the kitchen where Roman was getting everything ready. Jimmy and Jey were outside heating up the grill.
"Liam, Corey, and I are going for a run tomorrow morning. Want to come with?", she asked.
Roman shook his head no.
"Corey is like a brother to me. At least try to get along with him", Lynn said.
"I am trying. From the moment I met him, but he's the one throwing jabs and side remarks. Like he knows something I don't.", Roman said.
Lynn nodded.
"I'm sorry, I will talk to him about that", Lynn said.
"For now its best I stay on the opposite side of where he is", Roman said.
"Okay", she agreed.
He leaned down and kissed her.
The next morning, Lynn met up with her brother and Corey. They jogged along the beach and occasionally stopped to take in the view of the sunset.
"Man, this place is beautiful. Don't tell big man I said that", Corey said.
"Can you stop doing that", Lynn said, as they walked back towards the house.
"I'm just messing around, you know that", Corey replied.
"But he doesn't. I really want you two to get along.", she said.
Corey nodded.
"Alright. I will try to keep my comments to myself. I just want you happy is all", Corey said.
Lynn stopped and faced him.
"What made you think I wasn't? I love him, Corey. Am I making sacrifices for him? Yes, but he does the same for me.", Lynn said.
"But your sacrifices are just a little bit bigger.", Corey pointed out.
"Big, small, it doesn't matter. I know that if I asked him to walk away from the crown, he would. Just like I am willing to change to be his Queen. Now that is the end of that. Respect my boyfriend, please", Lynn said.
Liam smiled proudly at her. His sister had always had a voice, but it just got a little more confident since being with Roman. Which he liked a lot.
"Now that we cleared things up, race you both back to the house", Liam said, before taking off.
Lynn and Corey looked at each other before running after him. As she was up ahead, she could feel Corey grab onto her shirt and pull her back.
He lifted her and swung her around before running ahead.
"You cheat", she shouted after him.
He laughed. She stopped when she saw Roman on the steps.
"Hey, good morning my love", she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
"Good morning", he replied.
Corey and Liam made their way inside. Roman had seen the way Corey liked to touch Lynn back when they were at the castle, and he didn't like it.
Then he came out to greet her, and noticed the way he tugged on her shirt, revealing too much skin for Corey. Roman would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous, but he was.
"Can we talk?", he asked her.
Lynn nodded.
"Can we walk by the water?", she asked.
He nodded and they both removed their shoes. Lucky for them, the water was always warm here.
