CHAPTER 19

THE NEXT MORNING, MICHAEL AND JULIANA WATCHED his nephews play against their cousins in a close Little League baseball game.

“Which team are we supposed to be for?” Juliana whispered to him.

“Both. Definitely both.”

“Welcome to my world,” Maureen said when she overheard their conversation. “Next year the girls are going to try to get them all on the same team. This is too stressful.”

After Colm and Cormac's team beat Patrick and Sean's, Michael and Juliana had lunch downtown with his parents. He fought a losing battle with his father for the check, and when his parents left to do some errands, Michael and Juliana walked back to Maggie's. On the way, they window-shopped in the stores and boutiques that lined the waterfront.

“See anything you like?”

“All of it,” Juliana said.

He laughed.

An odd expression came over her face. “What?”

“That guy, across the street. I've seen him somewhere before.”

Michael turned to look. “Which one?”

“The brown jacket. See him?”

Across the street, the man in question took off in the other direction.

“Are you sure you know him?”

“No. He probably just looks like someone I know through work or something. Forget it.”

He glanced over one more time, but the man was at least three blocks from them. Michael put his arm around Juliana for the short walk back to Maggie's house.

When they got there, no one was home, so he spirited Juliana up the stairs. Closing the bedroom door and locking it, he turned to her.

“You're going to get tired of me if we keep this up,” she said with a shy smile as he eased the coat off her shoulders.

“I will never get tired of you.” When she looked away, he used a finger on her chin to bring her back to him. “You've heard that before, haven't you?”

She shrugged.

“Juliana, look at me.”

Reluctantly, she brought her eyes up to his.

“I will never, ever, ever get tired of you—not ten years from now, not fifty years from now.” He kissed her and tugged the sweater over her head. “Never.” Unhooking her bra, he whispered, “Ever.”

“How do you know that?”

Pulling off his shirt, he brought her hand to his chest. “Because you make my heart pound. No one has ever made my heart pound, and no one but you ever will. I love you. I'll always love you.”

“That frightens me.”

“Why?” he asked, tugging her jeans and panties down over her legs.

“What if...” She bit her lip.

He stood up and dropped his own jeans into a pile on the floor. “What if what?”

“What if things don't work out between us?”

“It'll work out,” he said with supreme confidence as he brought her into his arms. The feel of her breasts against his chest sent a surge of lust rocketing through him.

“How can you be so certain?”

“I just am.” He lifted her and entered her with one sure stroke. “I know it.”

Juliana wrapped her arms and legs around him and let her head fall back in surrender. “You're going to hurt yourself,” she whispered. “I'm too heavy...”

“Shh.” With his hands under her bottom, he moved her ever so slowly up and down.
