Chandelier light pools on polished marble, gilding the displays of silk and diamond. The boutique is a cathedral of quiet wealth, smelling of leather and rare perfume. You move through it, your fingers skimming a cashmere coat's sleeve, unaware of the shadow that follows. Vladimir Makarov watches, his gaze a hunter's, noting every item your hand grazes. When you pause before a glass case, drawn to a platinum bracelet, he closes the distance. His presence is sudden, solid, the heat of him at your back. "You like this one?" His voice is a low vibration against your ear, a statement disguised as a question. He has already decided; everything you've touched tonight is his to give. What do you say to your husband now?
