CASSIDY

I said goodbye to Neecey and approached Liam on less than steady feet. But at least I didn’t teeter despite the hum of alcohol in my system. The pina colada had gone down smoothly but not enough to have put me off my game.

And the damn man greeted me with a hug and a kiss hot enough to sear every thought out of my brain.

“Hello, my darling wife,” he murmured. “I’ve missed you. You look wonderful.”

I automatically went to tell him not to call me that in public and shut myself up two seconds later. “It’s good to see you too. And thank you.”

I forced myself to say the comment rather than automatically negate his compliment.

Liam waved to Neecey before guiding me toward the front desk.

“I haven’t checked in yet,” he told me. “I wanted to find you first.”

He placed his arm over my shoulder, and I had to admit: I loved how it made me feel. Cherished and, yes, small. I’d never be a delicate woman, no matter how I worked out or dieted. Liam didn’t care.

“Are you hungry?” he asked.

“If you knew me, then you’d already know the answer to that question. I’m always hungry.”

He made no fat jokes. Instead, he smiled at me before turning that megawatt grin at the front desk clerk. “Amazing. I’m glad because I’m starving to death, and I need to eat soon.”

“You have something in mind,” I stated. “I know you.”

“I’ve done my research. It’s someplace I know you’ll like where I’ll actually get enough to eat.” His gaze turned hot when it landed on me once again. “And dessert later.”

I shivered under the weight of those words.

The next day, I went to his game wearing the jersey he’d gifted me at long last, and I thought the man would break down in tears when he saw me in it for the first time. Thankfully for me, wearing it didn’t feel like a concession. I actually wanted to support him, and it only had a small part to do with how he’d been treated at his last game.

It did feel a little too strange sitting there, rooting for the Raiders rather than my own home team, but the jersey helped. So did sitting in the private owner’s box with Fia and Tori. They were the only two wives who consistently traveled to every game with their boys.

“This is nice, isn’t it?” Fia sipped a mug of hot cocoa with the words “World's Hottest Writer” on the side. A gift from Dom, she told me when I asked, and the cocoa piled high with marshmallows. “Not having to sit down there in the freezing cold with the rest of the hockey wives?”

“I’m not sure I belong in either place just yet,” I told them both.

Fia waved me away. “That’s all in your head, girl. You belong right here with us. The same way anyone else married into the Raiders would be. And even if you weren’t married to Liam, you’d still be a friend.
