“Hey, Harlow,” he calls easily, as if I’m not getting ready to maul her right here and now.
“Hi,” she calls awkwardly, peering around me.
“Have you got a second?” I know she won’t say no, because she’s too polite, so I don’t let her decide.
“Give us an hour,” I say to him as she finally gets the door open and I push her inside.
“An hour, huh?” she whispers as I slam the door behind me.
“Oh yeah. Territorial Harlow is sexy as fuck,” I tell her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
“Yeah? Show me how sexy,” she whispers.
“Anytime,” I say. And in the meantime, I also have a certain photo to get back at Sawyer for.

Two hours later, Harlow rolls out of bed with considerable effort and a sigh.
“Where are you going?”
“I said I’d see Eli, remember.”
I shrug. “He can wait.” He can. She doesn’t have to give him any of her time if she doesn’t want to. Eli has never been a horrible person, and I was shocked when I heard how he spoke to Harlow before. He said he just got his guard up after his pride was dented by being manhandled by Sawyer, insisted he didn’t do anything wrong and took it out on her, but that’s not an excuse and he knows exactly how I feel about it.
“He’s your brother,” she says.
“So he’ll be happy for me that I found someone I like so much that I can’t let them leave this bed,” I argue, and she doesn’t protest, giggling as I pull her back under the covers.
