“Why do you want me to watch?” he asked as he stood up. “So you can watch, too?”
Mia made a face. “No, that’s not my hang-up. That’s yours.” She smiled victoriously as she saw her jab found its mark.
Ryan went very still, like a wild animal scenting danger. “What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, come on, Ryan,” Mia said as she got off the couch. “It’s a small town. Word gets around.”
He frowned. “I’m not following.”
He was going to play dumb. It was time to lay out all her cards. “I know that you like to watch your girlfriends with other men.”
“That’s not true.”
“Okay” – Mia shrugged – “so it only happened with one of your girlfriends.” What was the big deal? If he wanted to watch Jake and Olivia, Mia would make that happen.
“How do you know this?”
Was he admitting it? She wasn’t sure. “I knew Lacey,” she told him.
“I know you did.”
She wasn’t sure about his tone. She narrowed her eyes with suspicion. “What do you mean by that?”
“Like you said, it’s a small town.” He mimicked her casual shrug. “I know you and Lacey hooked up once.”
Lacey wasn’t Mia’s type, and she turned out to be the one person Mia should never have slept with. Mia had been drunk, and Lacey had been a sexual opportunist. “Who told you?”
“Lacey.”
Figured. Mia rolled her eyes. “And you believed her?”
“I didn’t until I saw how you were watching Olivia and Jake.” He folded his arms across his chest and rocked back on his feet. “Your attention was all on Olivia.”
She hadn’t tried to hide the fact, believing that no one would be looking at her. She wondered who else knew how she felt. “Did you tell Olivia about me?”
“Believe it or not, Mia, we don’t talk about you when we’re together.”
“Good point.”
“Listen. I don’t care that you like to have sex with women as much as you do with men.”
“Olivia might.” And Olivia’s opinion meant a lot to her. She would rather hide her sexual orientation than have Olivia turn her back on her.
“Olivia might be surprised, but that’s about it.” Ryan paused. “Why didn’t you tell her that I like to watch?”
His sexual fantasy was nothing compared to those of some other people in Clover Bud. “I figured that was something she had to find out on her own.”
“Why? Don’t you share everything with her?”
“Obviously not.”
He smiled at her snappy answer. “Did she tell you how I like to tie down lovers?”
“That has come up on occasion.” She remembered the first time Olivia had been tied down. Olivia described it to Mia the next day in explicit detail. The way she went on and on about it, Mia wondered if she had done it wrong. She never had felt that kind of bliss. She had immediately tried it with one of her lovers and was acutely disappointed.
“Then it should come as no surprise that I’m going to tie you down,” Ryan said by way of warning. “How much do you know about bondage?”
“Enough to know it’s not for me.”
Ryan took a step closer to her. “Maybe your lover didn’t know what he was doing.”
“That is a possibility.” It might be better if she did it with an expert, but she doubted it. She couldn’t see the attraction of having her movements limited.
“I want to tie you up, Mia.”
She knew that. But he didn’t tell her what he planned to do once he had her trussed up like a turkey. “Have you ever been tied up?”
He scoffed at the idea. “No.”
That surprised her. Wouldn’t he want to know how it felt being tied down? “Why not?”
“No woman has ever tried.”
“Really?” Mia found that difficult to believe. “Because that’s the first thing that popped into my head.”
Ryan laughed.
“You know what, Ryan? I want to tie you up. What do you think? Are you up for it?”
His smile disappeared as he studied her face. She was pleased that he was giving her suggestion consideration. “Only if I get to tie you up afterward,” he finally said.
“Seriously?” Mia really hadn’t expected him to agree.
“It’s the only way you’re going to trust me.”
