Excerpt
When they reached
the ballroom he locked the door behind him. Jack walked over to one of the
decorative side tables and produced a box wrapped with red paper.
“Merry Christmas,”
he said, handing it to her.
“Why didn’t you
give this to me earlier?”
“I needed us to be
in private when I gave it to you. Open it.”
It had to be
jewelry. “I told you not to get me anything outlandish.”
“I don’t have to
listen to you. Even if we are married.”
Caroline ripped the
paper away. She opened the box and was greeted with an exquisite emerald
necklace. Fringe design, with each individual green stone framed by tiny
sparkling diamonds. The necklace was dripping with jewels from end to end. It
looked like a prop from an eighties soap opera except it was stunningly,
gorgeously real. She wouldn’t even want to speculate about the cost. “Jack-”
“Do you like it?”
he asked.
She was convinced
he only gave her presents just to gauge her reaction. To see how long she’d
gawk at them before starting to gush. Caroline wasn’t refined when it came to
her spontaneous responses to him. Did she like the necklace? A rather silly
question since it was one of the most amazing things she’d ever seen.
“It’s beautiful,”
she whispered.
He took the box
from her. “I didn’t recall seeing you with anything other than sapphires or
diamonds. We’re going to have to do something about that.”
She could only
imagine the media attention they’d get if she paraded around wearing a necklace
that cost more than what the average household made in a year, several times
over. Sometimes her husband forgot that he was running for governor, not
auditioning for the cast of Falcon Crest. “It’s too much, Jack. It’s
so…elaborate. I can’t wear that in public.”
He smiled. “Then
don’t. Wear it just for me.”
“Just around the
house? Like, when I’m watching baseball and stuff?”
He laughed. “‘And
stuff’?”
Her language was
less polished than usual. “I’ve had a ton to drink today. I can’t always be
articulate.”
Jack pulled her to
him, leaning toward her ear. “How about you wear the necklace and nothing else,
and grant your husband a dance?”
Now she saw where
he was going. “A nice Christmas waltz?” Caroline suggested. “Fully clothed, of
course. We must always be proper.”
He tugged at her
sweater. “Try again.”
His romantic and
seductive gestures were sweet, but impractical. “It’s cold in here.”
“I’ll turn the heat
up.”
“What about you?”
“We don’t need to
worry about me.”
Caroline sighed. “I
meant your clothes.”
He unbuttoned her
pants. “They’re staying on.”
That seemed unfair.
“I’m not sure I like this power differential.”
Jack ran a finger
under the waistband of her panties. “I think you do,” he whispered.
She shivered when
he pulled her pants and underwear down. “Will there be music? Or are you going
to parade my naked self around the ballroom in silence?”
“I picked a special
song for the two of us.” He grinned. “And you won’t be naked. You’ll be wearing
the necklace.”
She ran her hands
down the front of his shirt, imagining how it would feel for her bare chest to
rub against it while they danced. “You will undress at some point, right?”
He kissed her
again. “Upstairs. Let me do this,” he said softly, stripping off the rest of
her clothes, even her bra and panties. He laughed when he reached her socks.
“Are those dinosaurs?”
Caroline liked
wearing fun socks. She didn’t care if they were juvenile. She’d get away with
it for as long as she could. “They’re wearing little Santa hats.”
Though he’d started
to yank them down, he hastily pulled them back up to below her knees. “These
can stay on. But only because they make you look so damn adorable.”
She tried not to
think of what she’d look like wearing nothing but whimsical dinosaur knee socks
and an emerald necklace, but the expression on his face indicated that Jack
didn’t particularly care. He kissed her deeply before retrieving the necklace.
He took his time placing it around her neck, then stepped back to look at her.
It took all her effort not to blush. She hadn’t anticipated the night ending
this way.
Jack tipped her
chin up. “You look fucking marvelous.”
Her face had to be
as red as a cherry. “Even with the socks?”
He brushed a stray
hair out of her face. “There are few things sexier than a woman wearing an
emerald necklace and dinosaur socks…and nothing else.”
