“Wait, you were already watching?”

“Yes.”

“Well…what are they saying?”

Ian laughed. “They’re in your closet talking about clothes. They’re not even naked. And there’s no pillows or anything. Lame.”

I shook my head. “You thought they were going to have a naked pillow fight?”

“I don’t know. Isn’t that what college girls do?”

I laughed. “I mean…sometimes.”

“Well, they’re not doing it. Maybe we should send Ellen in with some extra fluffy pillows…”

“Now you want to see Ellen naked?” I asked with a laugh.

“No. She’ll put the pillows on the bed and leave. I’ll give her very specific instructions about that.”

I laughed. “Speaking of naked pillow fights, I need you to delete that video footage of Penny from your computer.”

“Which video footage?”

I pictured my favorite one. With Penny on her knees worshipping my cock at the country club. “All of it.”

“If I delete it from the server I’ll be deleting it from your computer too.”

“I know,” I said.

There was a long pause. “You already saved it somewhere else, didn’t you?” asked Ian.

“No,” I lied. But I didn’t even believe me.

“Sure.”

I sighed. “How the hell do you know that I already have a backup?”

He laughed. “You back up everything. But I know the footage is on your external hard drive. Top right drawer of your desk. Because I saw you do it.”

“You’re out of control, Ian. Stop watching every single thing I do.”

“It’s literally my job.”

“You need to get out of the apartment more.”

“You need to get out of the apartment more,” he mimicked back at me.

I laughed. “Whatever.”

“Besides, last time I was out of town, Isabella broke into the apartment. And you freaked the fuck out. I won’t be doing that again for a long time.”

“Good.” I really didn’t love the fact that he’d lost track of time talking to my sister.

“Good,” he agreed.

Well, that was settled then. He’d keep watching and…Wait. That wasn’t what I wanted. I shook my head. It was fine. He was right, I felt more comfortable knowing he was on the other side of the security cameras.

We were both silent for a few seconds.
