    When morning light shone through her window, he suggested they get six hours of sleep and then do Lord of the Rings start to finish. Even though it was a Saturday, he’d had to cancel six meetings and a morning tee-off, but it had been worth it to hear her sigh over poor Frodo. Then she’d told him that if he let his hair grow out he’d look like Aragon. That still made him laugh, because he knew she had a big crush on the soon-to-be king.
    The limo stopped, and she bit the corner of her mouth again. He used his thumb to pull the soft red lip from her teeth. “You’re going to draw blood.”
    The thought of her blood sent a fission of heat straight to his groin. The sweet red liquid running through her veins was part of her intoxicating smell. Thankfully he was old enough to control his bloodlust, at least as long as they remained clothed. He honestly wasn’t sure he could control himself around her if he were to ever give in to his passionate cravings.
    “Are you sure you wouldn’t rather watch one of those movies where the guys drive cool cars around and shoot at each other?” she pleaded.
    He chuckled. “You hate action movies,” he said not even trying to hide his mirth.
    “Hate’s a very strong word. And sometimes a hot guy takes off his shirt and makes all those tedious car crashes worth it.” She batted her eyelashes at him.
    The first time she’d seen the actor Chris Hemsworth take off his shirt in Thor , she pretended to faint. He remembered feeling jealous and doing an extra two hundred sit-ups that night.
    “Pervert.” He winked at her.
    “You have no idea,” she murmured under her breath.
    What had she meant by that? Oh hell, he hoped she hadn’t meant what he thought she meant. An image of Casey, naked and tied to his bed, suddenly had him gripping the edge of the leather seats and doubting he’d be ready to stand up again any time soon. Luckily he had the perfect distraction.
    The driver opened his door. “Can you give us a minute?” Nick asked.
    “Yes, sir. Just roll down the window when you’re ready.”
    “Do you need to give me some last minute advice on what fork to use or something?” she asked expectantly.
    “Actually,” he reached into the pocket of the door for the three velvet boxes he’d placed there earlier. “I thought these might go with your dress.” He shifted and opened the first box, which held diamond and ruby earrings. “Linc told me a necklace would take away from the neckline of your dress.” His gaze breezed across her ample breasts. He couldn’t help it. “So I thought these would be good.” The other boxes held a diamond and ruby bracelet, and a ring with a huge emerald-cut diamond in the center and two smaller emerald cut rubies on the side.
    Casey shook her head. “Uh. Wow. I don’t think I can wear that stuff.” Pursing her lips, she closed the boxes and handed them back to him. “But thank you so much for offering.”
    “Stuff?” he asked, shocked by her response. Women loved bling. “Casey, I bought these for you. I want you to wear them.”
    “You bought them?” she screeched. “What were you thinking? Can you get a refund? Nick, I don’t care how rich you are –you can’t spend money on stuff like that for the girls you take out. Goodness, you could feed a third world country with just one of those.”
    He could have actually fed several third world countries, but he’d never tell her that.
    “So, because there are starving children in India, you won’t wear a gift I’m trying to give to you?” He pretended to act hurt, but in truth he was amazed by the way her mind worked. So filled with humanity and love for her fellow humans. It always embarrassed him into doing charitable work. In fact, he’d doubled his donations in the last five months.
    But he wanted to see those rubies against her perfect skin, and the word ’no’ was not in his vocabulary.
    “Oh,” she reached over and touched his thigh. He used every bit
