“What is this?” She clutches the windowsill. “Why are you showing me this?”
“The first night you returned, I controlled the thermostat, forced you to open the French doors, and watched you with them.”
Her knees buckle, and she stumbles back, retreating from the horror and shock before her. She rips off the goggles and whirls on me.
I confront the ire in her glare.
I deserve it.
Lowering to my knees, I tilt my head back and let her see every emotion written across my face in the moonlight. Guilt, remorse, love.
She studies my features, looking for deception, and her arms lower to her sides, the goggles dangling from her fingers.
“I’m sorry.” I hold her gaze and wait for the backlash.
“How many times did you watch us?” A blush colors her cheeks, but she pairs it with hot rage.
“Only that night. It was too devastating to repeat.”
“Your knuckles.” She anchors her fists on her hips. “The next morning at breakfast, your hand was busted.”
“I broke the window.” I nod at the glass behind her, which was repaired by Greyson the next day.
“I watched you masturbate in the shower, and you watched me have sex with Leo and Kody.” She blows out a breath, releasing her anger. “God, Monty. We’ve really made a mess of this. Please, stand up.”
“I’m sorry.” I remain on my knees, heart thundering. “It was wrong. I had no right to invade your privacy, especially after everything you’ve been through. I brought you here with the promise of security and safety, and I violated that.”
Her hand moves, but not away. Instead, she rests her fingertips against my stubble and traces the hard lines of my face, her gaze following the movement to the back of my jaw, around the shell of my ear, and down, along my neck, her thumb stroking my bobbing Adam’s apple.
She touches me with gentle devotion, and I cherish it openly, hungrily. Goosebumps rise in reverence. My heart thrashes in its cage, desperate for her. She confounds and captivates me entirely.
“Leo must’ve suspected something.” Hooded green eyes meet mine, provoking all manner of lustful thoughts. “He was adamant about putting a camera in here.” She points at a shelf in the corner of the attic.
“He noticed the broken window the morning after it happened and asked me about it.”
“What did you tell him?”
“I omitted the truth and simply said I’d have it fixed.”
“Will you spy on us again?”
“No.” My ribs expand with the pressure in my chest. “Keep the goggles.”
“Oh, I am. Come on. We have more to discuss.” She pads out of the attic and heads toward my bedroom. “If you want to change, I’ll wait here.”
She leans against the wall in the hallway as I slip into the bedroom and change into sweatpants and a T-shirt.
When I emerge a minute later, she makes a beeline down the stairs, through the main hall, and outside, taking the path to the guest house.
“You’re sleeping in the main house tonight,” I say.
What I want to say is you’re sleeping with me tonight and every night after.
“I know. I want to put on my pajamas.” She touches her chin to her shoulder, peering at me through her lashes. “Will you walk with me?”
Fucking spellbinding.
“Lead the way.” I motion her forward, my eyes automatically falling to her heart-shaped ass, the delicate sway of her hips, and the nip of her tiny waist in that curve-hugging dress.
