RENEE
"I have a rape video involving Kenneth."
Miles, who had just stood up from his seat, ready to greet me, froze mid-motion. His eyebrows shot up in shock, his expression a perfect picture of disbelief. "You have a what now?"
His reaction made me chuckle. I couldn't help it. The surprise painted across his face was just too much. He blinked rapidly, as if trying to process what I had just said, before stepping closer and wrapping me in his arms. He held me tightly, his hand settling possessively on my waist. "You have what?" he repeated, his tone still disbelieving.
I allowed myself to relax against him, burying my face into the curve of his neck. "A rape video involving Kenneth," I said again, my voice softer this time. A playful mood overtook me, and I pressed a light kiss to his neck before taking a moment to breathe him in. His scent was calming. "That's the reason Adan called me over to his place yesterday," I added quietly.
