brilliant idea. I wish I had thought of it, but the guy who helped me at the store in Paris assured me it was a winner with women.” Bryce is enjoying this moment and how frenetically I’m trying to get to the real gift. “When did you have time to shop alone in Paris?” “While you were enjoying lunch at the top of the Eiffel Tower.” “That was part of a ploy?” “No, but when you announced you were spending the day with Mariella, I realized I had time to run out and get you a Parisian thank-you gift.” He’s really enjoying this moment and gestures with his eyes and chin to keep opening the boxes. I finally get to a black box that reads in gold lettering, Bulgari. Since 1884. Made in Italy . I bring my hands to my mouth and gasp. I’m too much in shock to open the box because I can’t deal with the fact that Bryce bought me a piece of Bulgari jewelry. He interrupts my hesitation. “Mariella tells me it’s the must-have collection for any beautiful, smart and sophisticated woman.” He theatrically attempts to imitate her. “Go on, open the box. Don’t make me wait any longer.” I finally muster the courage to open the box and there is the most gorgeous and expensive piece of jewelry I’ve ever seen in my life. “Bryce, it’s exquisite. Oh, my God. You really are spoiling me.” “Please don’t say it’s too much, Sofia, because you deserve it. You’ve made me so much money this week. I’ll also have to be honest and confess that I love seeing you in the pieces I select for you. You diligently wore the lingerie, suits and shoes I selected for you while we were in Paris. You fulfill every one of my fantasies. This is just a little token.” Bryce has an interesting definition of little token . This necklace is an opulent piece created with rubies, citrines, peridots and diamonds. I’m sure it costs as much as my brownstone in New York. I’m so in awe of such beauty that I remain silent as I admire his luxurious gift. “I hope you like it and that you’ll want to wear it. There are many more events to come when we get back to New York and I want you to look like the princess you are.” “Thank you so much, Bryce. This stunning piece will make me feel so regal.” “I hope you’re not just saying thank you to be polite and that you like it. If not, I’ll get you another one when we get to New York.” “No, not at all. It’s incredibly beautiful and I’ll wear it proudly.” “Sofia, I have a big question for you.” “Sure. What’s on your mind?” I’m afraid of what Bryce is going to ask next since this gift caught me so much by surprise. “We’ll be back in New York soon and I can get my driver to drop you home—or you can come with me to the hotel and spend the night. After spending one week sleeping next to your warm body, I don’t think I can have a good night’s sleep anymore without you by my side.” He totally catches me off guard with his words. I’ve never spent the entire night at his hotel in New York and I’m so happy that he’s suggesting that. I can’t believe he feels this way about me. “Of course you don’t have to. I’m sure after one week away from home, you’ll want to sleep in your own bed, but I’d love to feel the warmth of your sexy, curvy body against mine tonight.” His deep blue eyes search mine for an answer. I’d love nothing more than to spend the night wrapped in his arms, but I have to face reality—I’m still an escort and I desperately need the money. My God, this arrangement is only going to get more complicated. Is he going to continue paying for my services or will I need to take on new clients? If I do, how will Bryce feel about me having sex with other men?
