Chapter 58. All He Sees Is Red

Ryan

Emily stares at Ryan, and he can see the color drain from her face. She opens her mouth to respond, but no words come out.

He takes a step closer, his voice dangerously low. “Why is there a camera in our bedroom?”

“Ryan, it’s nothing,” she says. She reaches for the vase, her hand brushing his arm, but he pulls back, setting the vase down behind him, marking it off-limits.

“Not so fast,” he says. “Answer the question.”

Emily bites her lip, eyes darting around the room. “It’s just… it’s a little kink thing, okay?” She gives a half-smile. “I thought maybe it’d be fun. Your birthday is coming up. I wanted to surprise you with a hot video.”

He raises an eyebrow and then taps the side of his reading glasses. “I might be a bit shortsighted, Emily, but I’m not blind. Or stupid. How convenient that this little kink appeared the same day you saw Julie.”

“The camera’s always been there. You just never noticed.”

Ryan laughs.
