Noah crossed his arms, eyeing Ryder with a scowl. "Stop teasing Ash, Ryder. He's already embarrassed enough."
Ryder sighed dramatically, throwing his hands up in mock defeat. "Fine, fine. I'll behave." With a mischievous grin, he walked over and plopped down next to Noah on the sofa. "Anything for you."
Across the room, Elijah gently coaxed a sulking Ash toward the breakfast buffet. "Come on, babe. Let's get you something to eat before you wither away."
Ash let out a huff, still grumbling about the video, but he followed Elijah's lead, clearly still enjoying the extra attention. They had a honeymoon to plan, and the couple would be leaving soon to enjoy their well-deserved vacation.
Meanwhile, Ryder turned to Noah, his eyes softening. "What about us? Why don't we stay here a little longer?" His fingers brushed lightly over Noah's back, the gentle motion making Noah shiver slightly.
