“Second date, huh?” Kiera gave Quinn a look of suspicion over the rim of her coffee cup.

“There’s no reason to sound so surprised.” Aside from the fact she’d only managed a couple of second dates after a couple dozen fix-ups. Zero third dates. And not a single hookup to speak of.

Kiera smacked her lips together, clearly dismissing the assertion. “So, what, ten more and maybe you’ll think about sleeping together?”

She pressed her own lips together, but silently. Her way of saying nothing and everything at the same time.

“You didn’t.”

She angled her head.

“Oh, my God. You did.”

She sipped her coffee, enjoying the emotions play so clearly across her sister’s face. “Again, there’s no reason to sound so surprised.”

Kiera folded her arms and leaned forward on the table. “I beg to differ.”

“Okay. I’ll give you that one.” As much as she didn’t relish discussing her sex life with her sisters, they knew she’d been celibate for the last two years. Kiera harassed her about it, Alana respected it, but both of them had started to worry about it.

“Tell me everything.”

“I will not.”

Kiera frowned. “Come on. Not the X-rated version or anything, but something. Even Alana won’t let you get away with complete silence.”

She could be vague, or coy, but she decided to be honest. “It was worth the wait.”

“Worth it as in the sex was good or as in you’re falling for this woman?”

A loaded question to be sure. One she wasn’t ready to answer, even to herself. “I’m going to say the former, but that still doesn’t mean I’m giving you the details.”

Kiera’s gaze narrowed. “You say that, but there’s something in your eyes that has nothing to do with being a prude. You’ve got feelings.”

She shook her head, as though doing so would somehow prevent it from being too real. “I think that’s a bit premature.”

“Maybe, but it doesn’t make it not true.” Kiera twisted a piece of hair around her finger, her signature fidget when she was worried about something. “How far gone are you?” Kiera’s reaction did more to stress her out than her feelings. Well, maybe not more, but as much as, at least.

“Not that far.”

“We need to meet her. Stat.”

Quinn lifted her hands, as though the gesture might defend her against the demand. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. We are not there yet. Two dates, remember?”

“But pseudo dates before. You said as much. And you slept together. You don’t do that lightly.”

She could pretend or say otherwise, but it would be a lie. “I like her. We click better than I’ve clicked with anyone in a long time. It doesn’t mean we’re in serious relationship territory.”

“You don’t have to be engaged to let your sisters meet the woman.”

Quinn raised a brow.

“What? We wouldn’t give her the third degree.”

“No. We wouldn’t.” Quinn put extra emphasis on the “we” because it wasn’t Alana she worried about. Or Xinxin or Gary, for that matter.

Kiera frowned. “I see what you’re doing there.”

“I wasn’t trying to be subtle.”

“Do you really not
