CHAPTER SIX

SAPPHIRE

I’m drowning in a sea of jewels, satin, and high-pitched laughter.

The women by Drake’s side seconds ago are now ushering me across the ballroom to a corner where lush, white lounges are arranged randomly. Guests are everywhere, chatting in animated conversations, drinking, and all pristine in appearance. Even sipping from their bubbly flutes doesn’t leave their lipstick smudged.

“Over there,” the red-haired woman with curls points out, holding onto my arm. “Let’s go there, and we can talk easier.”

“Okay,” I manage, my throat dry with anxiety, my gaze sweeping in every direction at the opulent party.

As we sit on one of the couches, a waiter is already approaching, tray in hand, offering us an array of drinks.

“Champagne for us, darling,” the brunette with short, pixie-style hair calls out to the waiter, who quickly retreats toward the bar.

Settling down, I subtly adjust my dress, desperately trying not to flash anyone. I frantically search the room for Hawk, but he’s disappeared. My heart rate is spiking, and I need to calm the hell down.

“So, Sapphire… I love your name, by the way,” the red-haired woman says with a playful smile, toying with the strand of pearls around her neck. “You’re Hawk Kline’s fiancée. That’s quite the title.”

Besides her, a tall blonde with a model-like posture leans in a dramatic pose. “Is that the engagement ring?” She points at the sapphire and diamonds on my finger, eyes bulging.

I glance down at the sparkling jewel, my shock that I’m wearing something so expensive still fresh on my mind. It’s heavy on my fingers, like a constant reminder it’s there.

Extending my hand hesitantly, I allow the women to take a closer look.

The brunette lets out a soft whistle. “It’s exquisite and huge!”

I nibble on the inside of my cheek, unsure how to respond. The ring is dazzling, and I adore it, but I remind myself that it’s not mine.

“Every girl in the city has tried to capture Hawk’s attention, and we’ve all failed,” the red-haired continues.

My fingers toy with the ring to keep busy.

The brunette says, “You must be a whizz in bed.”

I stiffen. I’ve never had this kind of conversation with anyone… I don’t exactly have close friends, either, so it’s taking me a moment to process what she’s saying.

Her third friend, in a gorgeous black strapless dress, sits on a pouf in front of me.

I’m flushing, unsure how to respond, let alone with how quickly the conversation has derailed. I giggle in response, trying my best to imitate them.

“Oh, I’m not one to share our private moments.” I’m so grateful when the waiter returns with our drinks. I greedily grab a glass and start sipping as the women start talking about their times with Hawk. My ears are burning at the details of him tying them up and spanking them. As much as I don’t want to be there, I can’t stop listening.

“He’s always been known for having a wild sex drive, so I’m curious, Sapphire, if he’s calmed down or…”

I keep sipping on my champagne, my heart thundering in my chest, when I finally catch sight of Hawk.
