good. I had to slap Sam on the back of the head gently when I caught him checking her out as she got juice from the fridge.
“A masked charity ball we’re all invited to in New York in a few months.” I had to think quickly.
“Oh, I love masked balls!” She grinned toward me before taking a seat at the breakfast table. “What do you boys have planned for today then?”
“Golf, mostly. Oliver promised us a round,” Sam beamed. I looked at her apologetically. I knew golf wasn’t her thing, but I had promised the boys the last time I was here.
“Well, then you boys have fun. I’ll go find Claire. I’m sure we can find something to do while you’re gone. Make sure you take Richard, too.”
“Good idea, Beautiful.” Leaning over the table, I pecked her lips before getting up to go find Richard in his study.
“No, I don’t care how long it takes. We need to be patient. This isn’t a game…” Richard stopped talking as soon as he noticed me by his study door. “We’ll finish this conversation later. Good bye.” Abruptly, he hung up. “What can I do for you, Oliver?”
“I wondered if you wanted to join me for a round of golf later. Sam and Tom are coming too.”
“Yes, that sounds wonderful.”
“Who were you just talking to?”
“A client. He’s going through a divorce, and he’s a little stressed.”
“That’s one service I know I’ll never need from you.”
“You’re still going through with this ridiculous proposal?” I’d told my uncle of my plans to ask Jade to marry me a few days ago. Knowing he’d be less than happy, I thought it would soften the blow if I told him early.
“Yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything .”
“It’s your life, Oliver. Who I am to stand in your way? You are a big boy now.” That was the problem with Richard; I could never tell if he was patronizing me or not. Either way, I didn’t care. I was going to ask Jade to marry me at her birthday party. I just needed to make it special enough for her to say yes.
I patted my jacket for the sixth time, checking to make sure that the ring was still there. It would be just my luck that I’d forget it. It had been a long month in New York waiting for this day. I only hoped all my preparations paid off.
“You really aren’t giving much away,” Jade mused as we approached my private jet. Duncan pulled up, getting out to open the door for us.
“This is the first birthday I’ve been able to spend with you. I want to make up for the others I’ve missed. Today is going to be full of surprises.”
“You gave me enough this morning,” she giggled. Worshipping her body was just a start. “Six orgasms before breakfast is a new record for me.”
“I love having you for breakfast,” I smoldered, cupping her sexy ass. “In fact, I might have more of you on the plane. ”
“Oliver Kirkham!” She hit my chest, squealing as I backed her up the stairs to the plane.
“It’s your birthday, Beautiful. Today is all about you.” Capturing her lips with mine, I darted my tongue in to meet hers. My cock began to stir again, but it would have to wait until we’d taken off, if not longer.
“You know I would have been perfectly happy to spend the entire day in bed with you,” she purred, running her hands down my chest until she was stroking the belt on my jeans with her fingertips. “Are you going to tell me where we’re going?”
“You’ll see,” I grinned. “Come on. Let’s take our seats.”
Jade eyed me suspiciously as we got into the waiting limo Duncan went to pick up when we landed in Macon. I took her hand in mine, running my thumb across her knuckles.
“We’re not going to the mansion?” she frowned when she noticed we had turned in the opposite direction.
“Not yet. I thought we’d have a late lunch at Lake Tobesofkee first.”
“Like a picnic?” she beamed. I nodded with a gleam in my eye. It would also give Claire more time to prepare the garden. It had been
