Really, I haven’t spoiled her nearly enough.
I will take her shopping tomorrow. An elaborate shopping trip to purchase anything she wants will put a smile on her pretty face.
By the time the sunbed switches off automatically, I’m full of restless energy.
I make a light breakfast and immediately call for my driver and begin planning the day.
We will begin at Upper Dartmoor Street where I will have my personal shopper join us at Allure. We can select some outfits and then head to Mantle for some jewelry. She will want shoes and bags as well. Everything must be perfect. I can’t decide if Tamsin would prefer Spranks or La Novo.
Finally, when I feel I’ve been as reasonable as I can stand to be, I summon my driver and get in the car. It’s seven in the morning.
We drive to her district and wait while I call her.
I’m infuriated when she doesn’t answer.
Then I remind myself she’s probably still asleep.
Ten minutes later when my phone rings, I snatch it from the seat beside me. “What took so long?”
“Well good morning to you, too. Is everything OK?”
I take a breath. I need to keep a hold on myself. I haven’t lost my temper like this since—I’d rather not remember.
“My apologies. I am eager to see you.”
“Sure. What time?”
“Now!”
“Oh!” Tamsin laughs and I relax a little. At least she isn’t angry with me for being so demanding. “Well, just let me get dressed and have something to eat.”
“I will take you to breakfast. If you will allow me. I am waiting on the street by the bar you took me to the other night. Come and find me when you are ready.”
“Mmm.” Her voice is all husky. I imagine her pushing aside the covers of her bed. Does she sleep naked? My cocks stir within their pocket of skin. “Well what a treat. I’ll be down as soon as I can.”
I’m forced to endure forty minutes of torment before I see her step around the corner. She’s wearing a pair of denim jeans that hug her every curve like I wish I could. A cropped jacket and heels emphasize her small waist and give a sway to her walk. My fangs are practically dripping with venom by the time she comes close.
My driver gets out and opens her door and I have to swallow my jealousy at the radiant smile she throws him as she slides in beside me. “Good morning. Are you always such an early riser?”
I hold out my arm and she slides closer, lifting her face to give me a careful kiss on the cheek without dislodging my glasses. She snuggles into my side where her warmth immediately untangles all the knotty parts inside me.
I sigh. “I rarely sleep, but last night I couldn’t rest as I normally would. It occurred to me I haven’t spoiled you nearly enough and it needed to be remedied instantly.”

Tamsin
After a completely sumptuous breakfast, Erserro takes me from one shop to the next until the trunk of his car is filled with parcels and boxes and bags. All of which are for me.
Our last stop is Mantle. I can hardly believe my eyes when the driver stops outside the huge jewelry store in the center of town. Of course I recognize the simple gold lettering on the facade and the bow windows under black shingles. What girl in Heartstone wouldn’t?
OK, I know not every girl dreams of expensive jewelry like I do, but oh. My. God. It’s like Erserro has somehow snuck inside my dreams and plucked a little magic from each one of my most treasured.
His hand at the small of my back as we enter the store gives me shivers.
When we walk in, the shop assistant behind the counter gives Erserro a nod of acknowledgment as if they are old friends.
I wonder idly how many lovers he has bought gifts for this way. Though he said he only rarely took a lover so perhaps I’m being unfair.
