The next morning is mostly uneventful. Dr. F and my mother arrived at some point, but I left them to get settled in. Besides suffering through an awkward brunch, I’ve mostly stayed out of the way. Caterers have been brought in for the holidays, so there’s not much to help with in the kitchen. I may be hiding, too.

The three of us stayed out in the hot tub for far too long, then quickly showered, chugged water, and passed out. I woke up in Kabir’s bed, warm and sated. After brunch, he got to work, finally letting me out of his sight, and I headed up the second flight of stairs to the primary bedroom to hide away.

Memories of last night will be fuel for my self-care fantasies for a long time coming. Spence and Levi. Levi and me. The three of us together. The way our dynamic shifted and molded to the moment was seamless, fluid.

I’m not embarrassed by last night’s escapades, but we’re absolutely wading into uncharted waters. Suddenly, every emotion is more intense and every interaction is weighted.

With a long, slow inhale, I will the butterflies fluttering in my belly to abate and do my best to temper my enthusiasm. We’ve yet to have a conversation. For all I know, I may be alone in these feelings. But damn, that wasn’t just sex. That was passion, power transference, and unabashed pleasure.

It was soul-stirring and life-affirming. The entire experience was right and real in a way nothing has ever been before.

But again, until we have a chance to talk, it’s better if I put these feelings on hold. I don’t want anyone getting hurt, so communication and clear expectations are key.

Later. There’ll be time to talk and figure things out. Preferably when we’re not at Greedy’s family’s cabin. And not while I’m desperately trying to keep my shit together knowing my mother is close by.

I’m already burned out on holiday rom-coms and spicy Santa novellas. This happens every year. The buildup that comes along with the holidays, the ads for Christmas romance stories and all things holiday cheer are so overdone that by the time it finally arrives, the actual day is lackluster.

Instead of forcing myself to work through my holiday TBR, I’m rereading my favorite hockey romance series. Maybe I’ll revisit the holiday list next year.

I snag a plush blanket off the end of the bed, and for the first time since we arrived, I venture toward the library.

Despite how frustrated I am by my trepidation, my footsteps are tentative. Greedy made it clear that he doesn’t care whether I use this room, as long as I stay out of his way. Yet it’s still a struggle not to be wary of being in this space. As if my presence here without him is sacrilegious in a way.

I swear I can still smell him on the sheets in this room and picture him in the doorway, a version of him that’s a little younger and far less angry.
