“Sit.”
Corbin lifted a brow.
“Pardon?”
Alex was to the point.
“You think something is going on that isn’t, and I am really bad at being sneaky. So, we need to have a‘Come to Jesus’talk.”
Corbin said nothing.
Why?
He’d been trying to figure out how to undo what he’d just done. Fear had him by the balls, and he wanted to crawl into Alex’s room and beg for another chance.
Because he’d fucked this up.
BIG-TIME.
“Please sit, Corby.”
At the use of his nickname, he did, and he waited for Alex to show him whatever it was that he thought he needed to see. He had been minutes from calling Gene or Ethan, despite them being crazy busy with a killer.
When Alex came over, he opened his laptop and pointed at the search bar.
“Go into the history and look.”
Corbin lifted a brow. He didn’t know where this was heading, and he wasn’t sure if he should invade his privacy and do that.
Oh, he’d love to, but…he had to have some control.
“Uh, really?”
He nodded.
“I have one thing to hide, and if you go in and look, you’ll see what. Go look.”
Color him curious.
Doing what he said, Corbin pulled it up and clicked on theONLYlink for that day.
Much to his surprise, it took him to a website for a jeweler. When he glanced up, Alex didn’t let him talk, but instead, he handed him his phone.
“Go into my personal mail.”
He tried to protest, but Alex wouldn’t let him.
“Just do it, Corbin. It will make sense.”
When he did, he saw an email from the same jeweler, and when he opened it, there was a receipt for a few thousand dollars and a shipping date.
“I don’t understand.”
Alex told him.
“I was going to lie to you before, because I was planning on surprising you with a very special gift. I slept alone, or in this case, barely slept, so I could have some privacy to order it. I couldn’t do that if I slept in bed with you. I was moved to do something romantic, but it meant hiding it temporarily so I could surprise you.”
Corbin stared at him.
