else.”

Shane smacked him on the head with his cue. “Knock it off.”

Cassie stood on tiptoes to kiss Shane and looked around him to Kyle. “Take your

wife home. She’s exhausted and the shower is tomorrow.”

“Is she okay?”

The panic in Kyle’s voice tore at Marc. Loving someone that much, so much that

you worried for their health and now the health of the life she carried used to

scare him. But despite the fear, Marc saw the glow about his brother too.

Cassie touched Kyle’s arm gently. “She’s fine. But she’s thirty-eight weeks

pregnant, hon. It takes a lot of energy to gestate and it’s hot. Take her home,

have her put her feet up and make sure she keeps drinking water. I’ll see you

tomorrow.”

Kyle put his cue away and said his goodbyes. Marc watched him scoop his wife up

with gentle arms and a smile on his face.

An ache built inside him and suddenly this whole thing with him playing along

with the looking for Mister Forever seemed utterly stupid. He wanted to be with

Liv full time.

Rocking back on his heels a moment, he zeroed in on the object of his thoughts.

“Well lookit my girl over there. She’ll be all by her lonesome soon. I best get

on over and give her some company.” Marc looked at Liv and when her gaze met

his, he felt the connection to his toes.

“So she believe you yet?” Matt asked.

“I’m working on it. I hear she had a date with Bill on Wednesday. Worked out

with me, even let me kiss her goodbye and went on a date with that dullard.”

That hurt.

“Marc, she didn’t even let him touch her. She said there’d be no more dates with

him. She broke it off. This whole thing is stupid. I’ve never seen her like this

but she’s afraid. So afraid.”

Cassie reached out and touched his cheek. “I’m amazed you’re doing this, I truly

am. And I admire that you’re giving her this space. But when Maggie asked if

she’d had sex with Bill, Liv got pissed. Said she was having sex with you and

what did Maggie think she was?” Cassie kissed his cheek. “Hang in there. She’ll

see. It’s right in front of her face and for what it’s worth, you’ve got no

competition. This thing with Bill was just a way to keep from admitting it to

herself. But he’s out of the picture now as an excuse.”

“Oh hell, I know that. I just don’t like her lying to herself. I want to be with

her. This is all a waste of time.”

Cassie shrugged. “If she’s worth it, you’ll wait. Only you can decide if she is

or not. Everyone has their limits.”

He looked back over at Liv as she blew a kiss at Maggie, smiling. She was worth

it. God he loved her. Okay, a little while longer.

“Night all,” he called over his shoulder as he walked through the restaurant

toward her. She turned to see him coming toward her and stood, waiting.

“Hi there, handsome.”

Without a word, he pulled her to him and kissed her. Hard and possessive.

Satisfaction settled into him as she melted into his embrace, opening her mouth

to him.
