When Summerine woke for thesecondtime in the storage shed, it was to find herself cradled on her husband's lap.
Embarrassing memories flooded her mind a moment later—-
Oh my gosh!
But his arms only tightened around her when she tried to escape his hold.
"Be still."
Her limbs were frozen in immobility all at once, and Summerine was in utter despair. Why was she so powerless whenever he usedthattone of his?
"Look at me."
She so, so wished she could deny the command...but she couldn't.
Summerine reluctantly lifted her gaze to his...and was immediately confused by the brooding look on Ryu's gorgeous face.
"I apologize for doubting you," her husband said tautly. "But it's also unfortunate that you're not lying."
Her confusion grew. "W-Why is it unfortunate?"
"Because it means whoever sent me that message wasn't lying either."
"B-But—-"
"My wife is in love with another man...and love has the tendency to make people do regrettably foolish things."
Ryu was back on his feet by the time he finished speaking, and Summerine was still trapped in his arms when he walked out of the storage—-whoa.
One, two, three...ten...twelve...fourteen.
"H-Had something happened?"
There were fourteen men in black waiting outside the storage shed, and all of their attention was focused solely on Ryu...and her?
Ryu's air suddenly tickled her skin, and Summerine barely managed to bite back a moan.
"It turns out I don't like sharing," her husband whispered mockingly into her ear, "and they've all been hired to ensure it stays that way. From now on, I'll be the only man in your life."
