Chapter 1708
Skyler remained silent, her luck never seemed this good before. It must be the guys going easy on her.
Seeing how well Skyler was doing, Rosie was itching to get in on the action. “Lucas, I want in on the next round,” she declared. Lucas chuckled, “Sure thing.”
“You guys planning on bankrupting me and Marc? Before you let your wives step in, Marc and I were cleaning up,” Steven joked, glancing at Marcus. “I always thought Marc was a straight shooter, no favors, but it seems he’s got a soft spot. Too bad he’s soft for his buddy’s girl.”
Marcus looked up, his cool gaze flashing behind his silver-framed glasses at Steven, “What’s it gonna take to shut you up?” Steven grinned, unabashed, “A kiss from
my
sweetheart.”
His words came so naturally that both Skyler and Rosie blushed.e2
Lucas reached out, tucking a stray lock of hair behind Rosie’s ear, “Just play your cards. Ignore him.”
Zavier interjected, “Steven, mind the occasion.”
Steven shrugged, “Did I say anything out of line?”
Lucas sighed, “Do us all a favor. Zip it.”
Rosie turned to Lucas, “Which card should I play?”
Lucas took Rosie’s hand, guiding her to draw a card and play it.
Watching their affectionate display, Steven suddenly lost his interest in the game. “I’m out.”
“Just because you lost a few hands you’re quitting? Don’t be such a sore loser,” Lucas teased.
Steven retorted, “You think I care about losing? I can’t stand to see you two flaunting your love like this.”
Lucas retorted, “Next time bring your girlfriend, and we can all team up against Marc.”
Marcus stood up, “I need to head back to Riverton anyway.”
Zavier was surprised, “Back to Riverton so soon after arriving in the Capital?”
Marcus simply nodded.
“And what about you, Steven?” Zavier asked.
