---- Iwas staring at the headboard, lost in my thoughts, when a sound from the entrance made me snap back.
The doorknob was turning.
I lifted my torso, propping myself up on my elbows, book in hand, pretending to read seriously.
Teven hiked my robe up just enough to reveal a tantalizing view of my legs and thighs, one loose sleeve slipping off my shoulder, my hair falling freely to one side.
The door closed softly, and the carpet muffled his footsteps as he walked deeper into the room.
Icouldnt see himI was facing away from the entrance but that dominant presence, that intoxicating cologne...
I knew very well it was Elliot.
My entire traitorous body hummed with pleasure, even as my mind warned me not to give in too easily.
Id make him work for it first.
His intense gaze devoured meI could feel it from the foot of the bed.
"Are you going to stand there all night like some stalker? What brings you to the floor of the outcasts?" I huffed, flipping a page of the bookI wasnt even reading.
"I went to retrieve my apology gift for everything that went wrong tonight.
It was my fault.
You deserve nothing but the best.
You will never wear anything fake again.
The finest jewels and gems belong to my dear wife," his deep voice resonated with the crackling fire.

1 had no idea how many priceless, exquisite jewels were now raining down on me.
He pulled them from small silk pouches and velvet boxes.
Where had he gotten them? Had he gone to a jeweler at this hour? "Elliot..." I whispered in disbelief, looking up at him, his eyes bluer than the genuine sapphires now surrounding me on the white sheets.
"T prefer the floor of the outcasts.
Wherever my Duchess is, that is my place," he murmured, his gaze darkening with desire as he trailed it over my body.
His hands moved to his shirt, slowly unbuttoning it just for me.
He had already paid all his overdue debts, and now it was time for me to provide my "modest services." "Do what you want.
But dont think some trinkets are going to buy me Im not that easy," I said, tuning back to "read my book," arching my backside just a little more, as if I werent interested.
My whole body trembled in anticipation.
If anyone heard me calling these fortunes "trinkets," theyd think I was a raving lunatic.
Theard the belt hit the floor, the whisper of fabric slipping off his body, the soft exhales as he kicked off his boots.
The bed dipped again, and a wicked smile curled my lips.
My tongue ---- flicked subtly across them.
A delicious touch glided over my legs, trailing up my calves, sending shivers across my skin.
It reached the hem of my robe over my backside, and soon, hed discover the little surprise I had prepared just for him.
Mmm...
making love to this wild and masculine man, draped in exquisite jewels like a queen...
didnt seem like a bad idea at all.
