“We’ll go get it,” he growls, grabbingme toward the stairs

“It was me,” cries Cindy’s soft voice

“What?” Ryat shouts,her flinch

She looks up at us through her watery lashes “It wasmy cell phone He texted you He told me that Ryat had blocked his nuh, so he asked to useto say to you”

“No” I shaketo believe that “It was Ryat”

“What was the nu to face me

“It was …” My heart hammers in my chest when I trail off

“What was it, Blake?” he snaps Gripping both of lares down at me

“It was a blocked number,” I whisper

“Son of a bitch!” he shouts, stepping away from me “Why in the fuck would you think that was me?”

“Who else would it have been?” I ask, licking my lips “You had sent , I add, “You said you were gone, but I saw your SUV in the driveway Then when I went to look for you out in the woods and saw you were standing on the porch” I know that was Ryat He was the one who fucked me and carried me inside the house He had removed his mask, and we took a shower Why would I have questioned the text? “I thought you were playing around”

“Motherfucker!” he shouts and turns to Cindy

She cowers in her chair, dropping her face He grips her chin and forces her head back,her whimper “You kneas here …”

“No,” she cries, tears running down her face “He asked to use ht I asked if I could go with hiive ”

His grip tightens, and she sniffs

“When he gave it back to ed There was also a video…”

“What the fuck was on the video, Cindy?” he demands

With her head tilted back at an odd angle, she es to try to look at me, and he shouts in her face “Answer me!”

“A video … of you two having sex in the woods” She sobs

He shoves her face away and walks over to the table, where he places both of his hands on it and bows his head His white T-shirt pulls tight across his broad shoulders and back, showing me his taut muscles

I stay frozen where I’ Matt watched us have sex that night in the woods, but what if he sawlot of my apartment complex when Ryat showed up and kidnapped ht? Otherwise, hoould he knohere the cabin is? If so, does he have a video of that?
