The next morning was a glorious repeat of the morning before, only the slow and sleepy sex wasn’t off the table. It was, in fact, very much on. I’d woken up to Riot’s fingers slowly moving inside me and everything after that was a hazy, sweaty, awesome blur. That awesomeness was followed by sweet, slow, earth-shattering sex in the shower.

There was a large part of me that wanted to stay in that hotel room forever, reuniting with Riot, showing him exactly how glad I was that we’d started to work through everything, but I knew I’d never survive. Death by sex, although it sounded appealing, was a very real threat and we both needed to get some fresh air.

Halah had agreed to meet us at Pier 39, and as we approached her, hand in hand, I was hit with another wave of envy at her natural beauty. Her long dark hair was billowing in the cold November breeze, and her stylish jacket was tucked in close to her perfectly toned and fit body.

“I swear, your mom and sister are two of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen,” I said quietly to him as we crossed the street to meet her.

“I guess I’m pretty lucky to have the three prettiest girls, then, huh?” he said, giving my hand a squeeze.

I smiled at his sweet words. “Your dad probably wanted to kill every guy at your high school, huh?”

“Pops ate tums like they were candy when Halah started high school,” he said with a laugh. “He also made it very clear that I had a brotherly duty to protect her innocence. I took that job extremely seriously, until Halah informed me over dinner one night that her innocence wasn’t mine to protect, that her beauty didn’t define her worth, and that she wasn’t interested in dating high school boys because they couldn’t see all she had to offer.”

“Wow,” I said, trying to imagine having that much self-awareness at that age.

“Ma pretty much told her since she was young to put more value on intelligence than beauty. That night Pops kind of realized my sister didn’t need anyone looking out for her. But I still did anyhow, just not as obviously as I had before.”

“I think your mom has to be one of the coolest people I’ve ever met.”

“She has some pretty incredible stories about growing up in Lebanon, then all her travels when she was younger. I’m sure she’d love to tell you all about it.”

“I’d really like that,” I said, feeling a warmth spread through me thinking about how Mara and I would have time to talk and tell stories in the future because Riot and I had a future.

We walked up to Halah, who was leaning against a railing, looking out at the choppy water, and when she heard us approach she turned to us, smiling. I didn’t miss the way her eyes dropped to our joined hands, or the way her smile grew wider when she saw them.
