“You have my word, I have no plans on ever hurting her.”
He gawked at me. “Ever?” His brow lifted. “That is a big claim to make.”
“You know what I mean.” I shrugged, and his eyes flicked to Caitlin.
“Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. But that’s what worries me. I know how wild Caitlin drives me. I want inside her every second of every day. Even after two years, that feeling still hasn’t diminished. Sia is young, she’s—”
“Sitting right here.” She gave Matt an irritated look. “I appreciate the big brotherly concern, Matteo, I do. But I’m a big girl, I can handle my own dating life.”
Dating.
The word clanged through me.
Is that what we were doing? Dating?
Because it sure as hell felt like a lot more than just dating to me.
She was in my bed almost every night. Which meant I was inside her almost double that amount. I couldn’t get enough. Couldn’t believe I’d denied myself this for so long.
Caitlin shot me a knowing look as if she could hear my very thoughts. But before she could comment, the others arrived and the booth became a flurry of hugs and kisses and the girls all cooing over Nora’s ever growing baby bump.
“I need a drink,” Enzo grumbled.
“But it isn’t even lunch—”
“I’ll be at the bar.” He stalked off and Nora scowled.
“Anyone would think he’s carrying the small human jumping on my bladder every freaking minute of the day.”
“How long do you have left now?” I asked.
“Too freaking long.
“Six weeks at the most,” Arianne said. “You can do it, babe.”
“Yeah well, what I really need right now is a burger. The biggest greasiest burger they make. Yo, baby daddy,” she hollered across the bar to Enzo. “I’ll have a club soda.”
I smothered a chuckle. But then she went completely still, the blood drained from her face.
“Nor?” Arianne asked, touching her arm.
“I think I just… peed myself.”
“Ew, gross. That’s just—babe, what the hell?” Matteo doubled over from where Caitlin had jabbed him in the ribs.
“Are you having any pains?”
“Just Braxton Hicks, the OB-GYN said it’s completely normal this far in. Why?”
“Because I don’t think you peed yourself, Nor.” Arianne blanched. “I think your water just broke.”
“My…what? Lorenzo Marchetti get your ass over here right now.” She started hyperventilating.
“Shit, what can we do?” I asked.
“We need to get her to the hospital.” Arianne was in full crisis mode. “Nicco make sure Enzo is in one piece. We can take her in our SUV.”
“The baby’s coming… now?” Nora started crying. “But it isn’t time, it isn’t—”
