The black velvet box sits on the dining table between us, innocuous in its elegance but humming with significance like a live wire. Sutton watches me from across the table, his dark eyes intent as I finish the last bite of the gourmet dinner he arranged to be delivered from his favorite restaurant. The wine in my glass—an expensive vintage I can't pronounce—catches the light from the chandelier above us, casting blood-red shadows across the white tablecloth. I've learned enough about Sutton in these past weeks to recognize the signs: the carefully arranged setting, the anticipatory gleam in his eye, the way his fingers tap an impatient rhythm against the tablecloth. He has something planned, something that means more to him than he'll admit.

"What's that?" I ask, nodding toward the box though I know perfectly well it's a gift of some kind. Another in the endless stream of presents he's showered me with since bringing me to his penthouse.

His lips curve in that slight smile that never fails to make my heart skip. "Open it and find out."

I reach for the box, my fingers brushing against his as he slides it toward me. The contact sends a now-familiar spark through my body—static electricity, I tell myself, though we both know it's something deeper, more primal. The box is heavier than it looks, weighty with promise and expectation.

The hinges open silently, revealing a bed of cream satin and, nestled within it, a choker that steals the breath from my lungs. Diamonds—dozens of them, perhaps hundreds—arranged in an intricate pattern that reminds me of a spiderweb or a net, delicate yet unbreakable. The center stone is larger than the others, a teardrop diamond that must be several carats. The entire piece gleams with cold fire under the dining room lights, a fortune captured in platinum and stone.

"Sutton," I whisper, unable to find words adequate to the moment. It's the most beautiful, most extravagant thing I've ever seen, let alone been given.

"Do you like it?" he asks, though the knowing gleam in his eye suggests he's already certain of my answer.

"It's... it's too much," I manage, my fingers hovering over the diamonds without quite touching them, as if they might burn.

"Nothing is too much for you," he counters, rising from his chair with that fluid grace that still makes my breath catch. He comes around the table, standing behind me, his hands resting lightly on my shoulders. "Let me put it on you."

I nod, still speechless as he lifts the choker from its velvet nest. His fingers brush the nape of my neck as he fastens the clasp, the diamonds cool against my throat, heavier than I expected but not uncomfortable. When it's secure, his hands slide down to rest on my shoulders again, possessive and proud.

"Look," he murmurs, turning my chair slightly so I can see my reflection in the mirrored wall across the room.

The woman who stares back at me is a stranger—eyes wide and luminous, cheeks flushed with
