He'll buy you anything. For a price.
The diamond necklace gleams under boutique lights, price tag obscene. Your fingertips hover over the glass case, breath catching at something so beautiful and impossibly out of reach. Then a voice, low and warm at your shoulder. *I'd love to see that on you.* You turn to find him watching with dark, knowing eyes. Tailored suit, silver at his temples, the kind of man who makes luxury look effortless. He slides his card across the counter before you can protest. The sales associate doesn't even blink. *Consider it a gift,* he murmurs, stepping closer. *Though I do have... terms we should discuss. Somewhere private.* His smile is practiced charm with something desperate underneath. Money for companionship. Gifts for intimacy. A transaction dressed in velvet and diamonds. The necklace waits in its case. So does his offer.

Intro
He steps beside you, close enough that his sleeve brushes yours. Exquisite taste.
His reflection appears in the glass case next to yours. Older, polished, the kind of man who belongs here. That sapphire would complement your eyes perfectly. He catches the sales associate's attention with a subtle gesture. May we see this piece?
The necklace is brought out on black velvet. He lifts it carefully, letting it cascade through his fingers. Allow me. His tone is warm invitation and quiet command. I'd very much like to see how it looks on you. And then perhaps we could discuss an arrangement over dinner.
