“You bent down,” he continued, taking us down memory lane, “That short ruffly skirt you wore that was way too fucking short and showed off too much leg rose up. And I saw them.” He swallowed hard. His blue intense gaze never wavered from mine, and I felt like my feet were nailed down to the ground. “I was obsessed with getting another peek,” he admitted.
My face felt hot.
But I wasn’t scared. A rational, sane person would have turned around and run out of there. But I didn’t. Not me. I moved forward, quietly making my way deeper into the room. Then I turned around and slowly took in the space.
There were boxes. A lot more than I had first noticed.
Piled up together in the corner.
Pictures hung still on a wall, and things I had thought I’d lost, personal things, were all over the place. When my gaze caught Red’s, my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my throat.
“This room… it’s not… it’s not your office.” He shook his head. He stood tall, his body taut and gaze guarded. “You have my underwear.” I pointed, and he nodded before setting them into the box he had been filling.
When he was finished, he didn’t make a move to get closer.
He walked toward the desk and opened the laptop. When it started up, he tapped some icons. And there was my apartment. Through a camera in my bedroom. I felt suddenly a little lightheaded.
“The cameras,” I whispered. Heat flushed through my body like a tsunami.
Red has been watching me. Closely. When I didn’t know it.
Red has been the one watching me.
And I ran right to him.
“I told you I made Brewer keep tabs on you.”
“You made… wait.” I shook my head. “I thought you asked him to watch over me.”
“No.” He shook his head. “It’s all out in the open now. You’re in here, seeing the worst of me, you gotta know it all. I blackmailed him.” He shrugged without remorse, and my eyes widened. Red had blackmailed Principal Brewer. For me.
“Red—"
“There are no ifs, ands or buts about it.”
“You blackmailed him,” I repeated.
I kept listening to him while I stared at the things in the room, but none of it made sense. “He’s cheating on his wife with his secretary.” I blinked.
“Roxy?” Red’s head jerked in a rough nod.
“I blackmailed him, and I lied to you.” His fingers tapped methodically against the desk. “I watched you without you knowing it. I’d call you and watch you talk to me. Before you came here to try and get rid of me, I watched you ignore my call.” His jaw clenched, and my knees wobbled. “I should have known you were going to do something. You have never ignored a call from me.” I licked my lips and exhaled slowly.
“I watched you play with that pretty little pussy, heard you come so many damn times, I lost count, yet it was never enough.” I felt dizzy, and my knees wobbled a little. But it wasn’t exactly with fear. I was a little scared, but there was something else playing inside of me. A heat that was rushing through me, making me almost ache. He’d been watching me. Obsessed. Stalking me.
Why does a part of me I like that?
“You have a sexy collection of sleepwear I can’t wait to pick up from your place and see you wear every single night for me.”
“Red…” I wasn’t sure what to say. I wasn’t sure how I felt.
He’d been watching me.
Stealing my things.
Stalking me.
“Yes. I have been. But I told you, Kait, I warned you, I’ve been obsessed with you for years,” his voice rumbled, and I realized I’d spoken my thoughts out loud. “I tried to warn you, but you didn’t listen.”
