CHAPTER 18

Paige

Later that day, I was still smiling as I finished my last contract.

I’d done a lot of thinking off and on all afternoon, and I knew Sebastian was right. I was running, moving away from anything emotionally dangerous to cocoon myself from ever getting hurt.

If I was ever going to break out of the shell of protection I’d wrapped myself in, the man to shatter it was going to be Sebastian.

I wish I could say I hadn’t been a coward for so many years, using my ambitions to distance me from having any kind of personal life. Maybe before Sebastian, it hadn’t mattered. There had never been anyone I’d wanted to be with, but my life was changing. And so was I.

The rap on my office door startled me, and I instinctively looked up at the clock. It was only four.

“Come in,” I called out, assuming it was a co-worker or my boss.

“Delivery for Ms. Paige Rutledge.”

The visitor stepped into the office and laid a wrapped box on the desk in front of me, and I scrambled in the desk drawer, desperately seeking a tip for the delivery. When I found it, I tried to hand the bills to the young guy who’d brought me the package.

He waved it away. “I work for the Walkers, ma’am,” he said politely. “I don’t do tips.”

He turned and walked out of the office, and I stuffed the money back in my purse.

I knew without a doubt that the package was from Sebastian, especially if the messenger was on a Walker salary.

Lifting the lightweight box, I opened it carefully, pushed back the liberal amount of tissue paper on the top, then gaped at the items inside.

I reached out a tentative finger to touch the delicate silk and lace, dazzled by the lingerie, but slightly dismayed. The panties were from the most expensive designers in the country, and it was a bit frightening to wear a pair of underwear that probably cost more than my car payment.

Rummaging through the tissue paper, I finally found a note:

Paige,

I didn’t want you to be walking around town with no underwear. Nobody sees your ass but me. The other item is something I noticed that you seem to miss.

S.

I laughed because it was a thoughtful gift, but not exactly without self-interest. Did he think my rounded butt would get much attention? He obviously thought so, and I couldn’t help but smile.

I noticed a small box tucked beside the panties and opened it curiously. What was inside stunned me so much that I was motionless and silent.

My mouth hung open for an undetermined amount of time while I stared at the gorgeous watch made up of rose gold, the timepiece encrusted with diamonds. I instantly adored it, and I finally gently lifted the box and removed the delicate watch, cringing as I noticed it was a very exclusive jewelry company.

It fit perfectly, and it felt so good to have a watch back on my wrist. It was absolutely stunning, but I knew I couldn’t accept a gift that expensive.
