CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Keating took Cherry's seat with only a pinch of guilt. "I really didn't mean to interrupt."

Bailey smirked at him. "Sure you didn't."

He grinned. "Fine. I meant to interrupt. You weren't there when I woke up. I wanted to make sure you were okay." He didn't tell her the whole truth, that every time Glenn acted like an asshole, he felt her slip farther away from him. That his sense of urgency to make Bailey his came from more than Sloane's social media picture of his new girlfriend on which Clarion had commented 'true love.' He leaned in and took Bailey's hand. "Are you okay?"

She met his gaze, her face lit by the orange glow of the flames. "I'm scared he's going to take them away from me." Tears choked her voice, the admission bursting from her like something she hadn't meant to say.

"I won't let that happen."

"But you can't keep it from happening. If he takes them physically from me or just makes them hate me, I've lost."

"And that's what you think he wants?" Keating hadn't gotten that impression. "After your lunch with him, you said he barely even asked about the girls."

"How could he not want them?" She swiped at her eyes and stared into the fire. "He might not have mentioned them when we first talked, but when he saw Melody on the porch, he couldn't resist going to her. Once he sees them again, hugs them, sees how much he's missed, how could he not want to take them away from me?"

In Keating's opinion, the fact the man could walk away from his kids the first time meant he didn't have a heart. Keating had only known Bailey and her girls for a couple weeks and he hadn't felt entirely whole until they were all under the same roof with him.

"Come here." He pulled on Bailey's hand and she stood and crossed to him. He meant to pull her onto his lap in a comforting way, but she straddled him and wrapped her arms around him. Yeah, he liked that better.

"I'm not going anywhere, Bailey." He was determined to comfort her, even if his cock insisted he move onto something more carnal. "Whatever happens with the kids and Glenn, I'll be here. But those girls adore you and nothing your ex says can change that."

"I hope you're right," she said, her gaze on his lips. "But I don't want to talk about that right now. I want to talk about how it's been four years since I had sex."

Four years? Every time Keating thought they'd reached the bottom of what an idiotic asshole Glenn was, he discovered a new low. "Are you drunk?"

She shook her head. "I don't really like your wine. I only had half a glass."

"What kind of wine do you like?" he asked, his lips centimeters from hers, their breath mingling.

"Boxed wine. I'm not cut out for marriage to a billionaire."

"I'll buy you all the boxed wine you want. And you are absolutely cut out for marriage to a billionaire.
