half an hour.”
    “Well, that was easy. I’m a better negotiator than I thought.” Sebastian chuckled.
    “No, you’re not.” Marisa piped up in the background. “Stop giving him such a big head, Ben. Do you have any idea how hard I have to beat him down just to live with him?”
    “You love living with me, you naughty little minx.”
    Marisa snorted. Obviously, I was on speaker. Knowing them, this could go on for some time. Still, I loved seeing Sebastian so happy and well adjusted. They were perfect for each other.
    “What? You don’t like living with me?” Sebastian sounded hurt, or maybe he was just playing.
    “Shut up and kiss me, you fool.” It sounded like her lips were already smushed against his. I smirked. “We’ll see you soon, Ben.” Then the call ended. I was pretty sure I knew how they would be spending the next thirty minutes.
    Peeling off the swim trunks, I hung them over the tub to dry. For a second, I stared down at my wet, limp cock. It had been too long. My stupid ideals had me waiting for someone special. Given our proclivity to hang out together, I hadn’t met anyone special in a very long time.
    As promised, I parked my vehicle and started toward the gallery door when Gabriel’s limo pulled up. I moved to open it when the driver stepped out looking horrified. Smiling, I held my hands up and backed away. Gabriel stepped out first, grinning widely. He held a hand out for his wife. “Easy, my love,” he murmured as he helped her onto the curb.
    My eyes narrowed as I studied them. “Isabella…” I scratched my chin. “You’re glowing. Are you and Gabriel?”
    She held a finger to her lips. “We’re not allowed to talk about it until dinner, but if I don’t order wine, then I guess you have your answer.” Isabella winked at me.
    Without hesitation, I wrapped them both in a hug. My gut reaction was sheer happiness for them, even as the nagging feeling began again, reminding me I’d probably never find someone. Stupid standards.
    She must’ve caught my frown because Isabella looped her arm through mine and murmured, “You will. Stop looking. Stop even thinking about it. I promise.”
    There was something in the way she said it which made me believe her. Taking a deep breath, I nodded. “Okay.” Then I looked over at Gabriel. He had a different kind of glow. This was a man who was madly in love with his wife. Shaking my head, I sighed. “Congratulations, man.”
    “Let’s go inside, shall we? Get Bella out of this cold.” He wrapped a protective arm around her waist and directed her toward the door, which I quickly moved to open.
    “You’re ridiculous,” she grumbled under her breath. “It’s at least fifty degrees out and I’m wearing a coat.” Glancing at me, she simply rolled her eyes, but I knew she still treasured the way he adored her.
    This was what I wanted.
    After following them inside, we found Sebastian and Marisa locked in an embrace standing behind the counter. Gabriel clapped and laughed while getting their attention. Me, I hoped I’d find an appetite by the time we made it to the restaurant.
    “Careful with all that kissing,” Gabriel remarked. “Do you have any idea what it leads to?”
    Sebastian laid a hand on Marisa’s lower abdomen. “Babies.” He smirked and I swear his chest puffed out a little.
    With a giggle, Marisa held up an ultrasound image. “Plural. I can’t make this shit up.”
    With a squeal, Isabella rushed to hug her while Gabriel laughed. “Us too.” He shrugged.
    “Twins?” Sebastian wondered. There was always a little competition between them.
    “No, just one. This time.” Gabriel winked.
    Sighing, Isabella shook her head. “Spoken like the one without a uterus.”
    This was going to be a long night. Holing up in the pool house might have been the smarter choice. I clapped my hands together and waited for everyone to look at me. “So…dinner?”
