Chapter Seven

Sawyer had expected to find the shopping trip with his mother and sister interminably boring. For the most part, he had been right, but he was still here just the same. He hadn’t missed their not-so-subtle attempts to steer him toward the jewelry section of every place they stopped.

Neither his mother nor his sister would have done well in the game of corporate bluffing. They were playing their hand too heavy, pausing to admire all the beautiful rings. He could have disabused them of the notion he’d need one for Nadia with a sharp word or two, and that would’ve been the end of their clumsy attempts to get him to shop for an engagement ring.

Instead, he found himself indulging them, at least to a point. He always veered away from the rings to admire the other pieces. Already, he had acquired a few gifts for Nadia. It was one area they had overlooked when shopping, and it didn’t mean anything that he was thinking about how each piece of jewelry would look on her. It was simply a gift, another way to add a convincing touch to her wardrobe and veneer as his girlfriend.

So why was he imagining this striking pink sapphire heart on the bed of velvet placed against her creamy brown skin instead? Even worse, his eyes had strayed to the matching accessories in the display case, all featuring pink sapphires and including a prominently displayed engagement ring. The square-cut diamond surrounded by smaller pink sapphires should have sent him running in panic. Instead, he indulged a brief moment of imagining what it would look like on her finger.

He shook his head at that line of reasoning, warning himself to nip it in the bud right then. He liked Nadia, and he respected her, which was an unusual thing for him, since he rarely took the time to get well enough acquainted with a woman he bedded to know whether or not he respected her. He certainly enjoyed going to bed with her and imagined he could spend weeks learning her body, but that didn’t mean he wanted anything more than sex.

He and Nadia had clearly defined terms and boundaries, and it was the perfect setup. Thinking about crazy things like extending their arrangement—especially since they had been lovers officially less than a day, despite the pretense they were presenting to his family—was crazy. He didn’t want to settle down, and he certainly wasn’t ready to settle for just one woman.

There were too many women in the world and not enough time to sample them all. He had known the course he wanted to take over the last twelve years, and he had taken it. As soon as he’d become a legal adult, with access to his trust fund, though under the careful supervision of his hawkeyed grandfather, he had indulged in a life full of sensual pleasures, traveling the world, eating gourmet food, drinking the best wines, and sampling the most beautiful women.

Nadia could certainly
