Page 18 of Love ’em or Liam

I can’t help but smile. Winnie was right, I do still love Liam. I’m not sure if it ever went away or if he somehow managed to get me to fall in love with him all over again in the last three days.

He leads me the rest of the way to his bedroom—our bedroom, I guess. It’s a sizable room with a bay window to the right. There’s not one there now, but definite space for a bench. It would be a perfect reading nook.

Wow, I’m already mentally re-decorating, and I haven’t even seen most of the house.

The king-sized bed is on the far wall, flanked by wall sconces. Basic white bedding covers the bed. There are two doors to our left.

“This is the bathroom. It’s got a great tub if you still like to soak in the tub and read,” he says.

“How do you even remember that?” I once asked Colt to pick up my favorite bath bombs, and he had no idea what I was talking about.

Stop comparing them!

It’s pointless. There is no comparison, I knew that before I married Colt. Before I slept with him too.

“Because I listen, Songbird,” Liam says. “You’re important to me, so I pay attention and remember.”

I am in so much trouble here. Liam has the power to annihilate my poor, bruised heart. I don’t think he would do it on purpose, but it could still happen. Would I be able to pick up the pieces like I had to after Colt died?

“Also, a shower and two sinks. I was told the double sinks are a marriage saver,” he tells me with a wink.

He walks to the other door and opens it, then flips on the lights. “I told the guys to move my stuff around in here so you get most of the space.”

I follow him into a huge walk-in closet. It’s already set up with hanging bars, as well as shelves, and a floor-length mirror hangs on one wall.

“Holy giant closet, Batman!” I say.

He laughs. “Yeah. I picked this house because of the back yard, but the other amenities didn’t hurt. It was originally built in the sixties, but was completely updated and upgraded a couple of years ago.”

“It’s amazing. The closet and everything else I’ve seen. You’re amazing.” I blurt out that last bit and then wince because that was totally random.

But Liam just smiles and walks closer to me. “I’m glad you think so, wife. I happen to think you’re amazing as well.” He leans in and runs his nose up the side of my throat. “I can’t stop thinking about last night. How you looked falling apart on my lap. Fuck, Wren, you have no idea how much I want you.”

My nipples are like diamonds, they’re so hard. “I might know a little,” I admit. “If it’s how much I want you.” I’m not sure where the bravery comes from that allows me to admit that. Maybe it’s the lack of sleep. Or finally being in another state away from my nightmarish in-laws. Or maybe it’s just Liam.

Sweet, reliable, sexy as hell, Liam.

“Are you going to let me touch you tonight?” he asks.

“Maybe.”

“Maybe is a lot better than no.” He kisses me briefly, just teasing my lips with a swipe of his tongue.

My pussy tightens and arousal floods my panties.

“Mom, you gotta see this!” Keller’s voice comes from the bedroom.

I release a pent-up breath and step out of the closet. “What is it?”

“There’s a LEGO wall in my room!”

“I saw that. Isn’t it the coolest?” His excitement is palpable. I wrap my son in my arms. “I love you.”

“Love you,” he says. “Liam, did you see the LEGO wall?”

“I did, bud, and you know what else?”

“What?” Keller asks.
