“He finishes up the call, and takes a few steps closer to me. “Cari.” He looks at me appreciatively from head to toe making me tingle all over. “You look absolutely stunning.”
“Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself Mr. Blake.” I smooth out the lapels of his suit jacket.
He catches my wrists and kisses each one. “I have something for you.” He takes my hand and tugs me with him down the corridor to his home office. “Close your eyes.”
I do as he requests and I hear him open and close a drawer.
“Open them.”
I open my eyes. Oh my gosh! He holds open a box containing a glittering diamond scroll bracelet.
“It’s beautiful, but I can’t –”
“Don’t tell me you cannot accept it. You can and you will because it’s my gift to you.”
I shake my head. “It’s too much.”
“Nothing will ever be too much for you angel.”
