Sabrina stared out at the city as the town car made its way to the Boston Manor. The diamonds around

her neck caught the light of the passing cars and sparkled in the window reflection, a nagging

reminder of what she was and what was expected of her tonight.

What kind of relationship did she have with Chase that they were going to a place where they

would both have sex with other people, but couldn’t touch each other? Could such a relationship

She shivered, remembering how dark his eyes turned when she’d walked out of her bedroom.

He tilted his head. “You’ll be fine. You look amazing.” His eyes traveled down to her cleavage,

and he grinned. “All those lucky men . . .”

She wrenched her chin away and turned back to the window.

“Sabrina?”

She swallowed over the lump in her throat. “Why are you so excited about the other men wanting
