Chapter Thirteen

I stare at the blinking red light peeking out between two of the books on my shelf. Part of me can’t believe that for two guys as seemingly deranged as Crue and Bones, they couldn’t manage to find a better hiding spot for a camera — but a slightly more logical part of me understands that they’re not trying to hide it.

They want me to know they’re watching.

For almost ten weeks, I didn’t hear a word from Crue. His ominous little threat at the end of our phone call had been starting to seem like a joke, but now, knowing everything I do in my own living room is being recorded for them... I realize it was stupid of me to think he’d joke about something like that.

“Well,” I say to the little light, “I hope you’re ready for a show. I’ve got company coming over that isn’t you, so enjoy yourselves. I don’t even have it in me to block you right now.”

I flip off the camera and answer the door when Paul arrives, then let him in. He’s got two boxes from my favorite pizza joint in his hands and a bottle of wine tucked under his arm, which I know is a bad idea before he even sets it down to find glasses.

“Thanks for letting me hang out,” he calls from the kitchen. “Damn pipes did a number on my house and I figured it was better if I stayed out of their way while they fix it. Hope I’m not keeping you from anything more fun.”

“You’re not,” I assure him. The fun is here, knowing those men are probably watching Paul make himself at home in my kitchen. All the better if the idiots don’t have an audio connection to know it’s not what it looks like. “Do you want to watch a movie or something? I’m going to be honest, I’m not used to entertaining much now that all of my girls’ nights happen in Layla’s daughter’s nursery.”

“Movie sounds great. Queue one up and let’s get this party started.”

Settling on the couch, I find a comedy to put on and grab a slice of pizza from the coffee table. Paul joins me by the end of the opening credits with two glasses and the bottle, giving me space while we eat — but the longer the movie goes on, the closer he seems to be getting to me. One minute I’ve got enough space to sit cross-legged on the cushion, and the next, he’s wrapping an arm around my shoulders and lining his thigh up with mine.

I freeze, afraid to breathe or move. What the fuck do I do? Tell him no? Tell him yes? I’d hoped Crue and Bones would see another man in my house, not watch me touch him or be touched by him. I tell myself it only matters because it’s unfair Paul doesn’t know he’s currently being watched and I can’t tell him without unearthing secrets I won’t be able to cover up again.
