Hard To Handle (Teach Me Book 2) Read Online Free PDF

playground at school or something,” Lawson muttered under his breath.
    Adam cut him a sharp look. “I wouldn’t say that too loud, if I were you, Laws.”
    “Too late. Heard it,” Hendy called out from what had to be ten yards ahead of them.
    Lawson didn’t miss a beat. “I love you, man.”
    “Love you, too, cupcake. You’re lucky that beard of yours makes me all hot and tingly. Otherwise, I’d have to kill you,” Hendy called back over his shoulder. Loud laughter proceeded from the group.
    Lawson looked over at Zach and Adam, stroking his blond beard, and whispered, “Told you this thing was magical.”
    They all stepped upon the tightly packed sand of the beach to see the arbor set up with intertwined white and blue orchids, the pastor’s podium centered just behind the arbor’s opening. The men lined up to wait for the bride to be escorted by her father down the walkway from the house to where they waited.
    The wedding was small with only a handful of guests that included Raine’s father, Momma K., and Lawson’s parents. Mac had recently reconnected with Hendy, whom he had gone through SEAL Qualification Training years prior. Mac had mentioned the two had lost touch when they had been assigned to different SEAL teams, and then deployments interrupted staying in touch.
    “I’ll just take my place right here so my girl knows who she should really be marrying,” Hendy joked, shoving Mac out of the way, causing the pastor, who had been standing behind the portable podium, to widen his eyes nervously. Zach couldn’t blame the guy. Two large, tough looking men who appeared like they could snap you in half with their bare hands, rough housing before the wedding? Poor man was probably wetting himself.
    “Now, boys,” Doc told them. “We all know that once she comes down this way, she’ll be blown away when she sees this,” he gestured to himself, “piece of man-candy.” They all laughed while Foster pretended to gag.
    “Nice try, candy man,” Mac slapped him on the chest, steering him back out of the way so he could take his place. He looked over at Adam. “You standing on my side or Raine’s?”
    Adam stammered, caught off guard by Mac’s question. “Uh, I-I assumed–”
    “Dude,” Hendy slung an arm over Adam’s shoulders, “don’t you know what they say about assumptions?” He let his arm drop to slap Adam on the ass. “Now, get over here with the rest of us men. Just try and resist falling in love with me.”
    Adam appeared stunned for a moment as he lightly rubbed where Hendy had slapped him. Zach could attest to the fact that these guys had no idea how much power they packed with their little gestures. Poor guy was probably going to have a bruise on his ass for days.
    “I’m more worried about you falling in love with me, to tell you the truth,” Adam tossed back with a cocky grin.
    Hendy threw his head back, the sound of his deep belly laugh making them all grin. “Oh, man. No guarantees. No guarantees, at all.”
    Zach knew it meant the world to Adam to have acceptance from these men, especially Mac. From what Raine had mentioned, he didn’t have any support or acceptance from his own family.
    Everyone quieted as their attention had been drawn to quite a sight to behold. Raine was walking down toward them, her father at her side, and Zach had never seen her look more beautiful. Her eyes were locked on her future husband who was currently … wait a minute, the man actually looked like he was about to shed a tear.
    Damn it . He’d just lost ten bucks to Foster. He had really thought this tough, former Navy SEAL would take it like a champ. Who would have thought?
    Suddenly, Zach’s attention was pulled in another direction when he saw Laney line up with Momma K. and Tate beside her. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Damn, his chest felt tight just looking at her.
    As the ceremony proceeded, Zach continued to be … well, entranced was really the only way to put it. He
