It was 3:20. Goldman had just finished stretching in the gym. He got on the treadmill and started walking. He wanted to work off some steam and clear his head. He glanced at the clock. Dalton was late. He was supposed to meet him in the gym at 3:15. Humph. Maybe he got lost in this big ass cabin.Goldman thought about the conversation he had overheard two hours ago. The girls hadn’t known they arrived, yet. They were making a big fuss over this guy Patty met at lunch. Apparently, a lot of guys had approached her during the past few days. Goldman didn't usually mind competition, but this was different. It would be an uphill battle to compete with fancy diplomats, lawyers, and plain out luxury lifestyle guys. He didn’t roll like that. He was a country boy who loved riding his Harley and eating a home-cooked meal. He was surprised that he cared so much that Patty had met other men. He didn’t like it. Goldman felt angry and discarded. I have
It was 7:50 p.m. Goldman, Dalton, and Billy stood in the living room waiting on the girls. They were dressed in black tie. Goldman pulled at his collar as he looked in the wall mirror. It finally loosened up around his neck without the bow becoming completely undone. Dalton and Billy were enjoying a brandy while they chatted.Gabriella came down the stairs. She wore a long, slimming green gown with wide straps. She wore long green gloves that covered her elbows. Diamonds and emeralds hung from her neck and ears. Billy beamed. “You are a vision, my honey. Like always.” Gabriella giggled. “Thank you.” The couple gave each other a smooch. Nick smiled. Goldman smiled and turned back around to check himself in the mirror again. His dark hair was parted on the side and slicked back. He was nervous. He didn’t mind wearing a suit, but black tie affairs weren’t his thing. Billy let out a low whistle
Patty lightly rested her hands on Gerard’s shoulders. His hands gently held her waist. They swayed to the band’s tune.“This afternoon you said you were in telecommunications, correct?” he asked.Patty glanced down. “Actually, Jackie said that. I’m afraid she made my job sound more . . . professional than what it really is.”“Oh,” he said as his eyebrow rose.Oh god, he’s going to think I’m a loser who’s desperate for a man.“I’m . . . a switchboard operator. I’m the lead switchboard operator, but a switchboard operator just the same,”He smiled. “Don’t be ashamed of having an honest job, my dear.”“I’m not ashamed . . . it’s just that . . . I thought you might not . . . approve,” she said bashfully.He tilted his head. “You think I’m that much of a snob?”Shit!“Oh no,” Patty said quickly. “It’s just that . . . you’re a diplomat and a businessman . . . and I’m sure you usually spend time with people who. . . have more to offer.”“It appears you have plenty to offer,” Gerard said as
Patty was having a great time. Gerard’s offer was professionally generous and personally promising, but it had a time limit. He gave her three weeks to think about it. Gerard wanted to find someone to take over Dawit’s administrative duties soon. He offered to fly her to New York for a few days to look around and get a feel of the city.She expressed concern about Rufus. Patty wasn’t going to leave him behind no matter how great an offer was. It turned out that Gerard loved dogs and he had two dogs in Africa. He agreed to help Patty acquire accommodations in New York where Rufus would be welcomed. He also expressed interests in learning more about English Mastiffs.She still had Gerard’s business card from this afternoon, so if she had any questions, concerns or if she just wanted to talk, he invited her to contact him.They quietly swayed to the music. Gerard gazed upon Patty's face with a relaxing smile. Dalton and Jackie walked on the dance floor. They started to dance. It was obvi
Jackie, Goldman, Dalton, and Patty ended up staying at the gala for another hour and a half because they didn’t want to disappoint Billy and Gabriella.It had started snowing on their way back to the chalet. When they got back to the chalet, Dalton and Goldman practically ran to the kitchen.Jackie, Patty, Billy, and Gabriella went into the game room. They had drinks and played pool. Jackie and Patty won one game and Billy and Gabriella won a game. They were talking about doing a tiebreaker when Dalton entered the room.“Having fun?” Dalton asked Jackie as he approached her.“Yes,” Jackie said. Dalton gave her a smooch on the lips. “You full?”“Yep,” Dalton said with a smile. “We had hoagies and chips.”“Where’s Goldman?” Billy asked.“He went upstairs with a bottle of scotch. He said he was tired,” Dalton said.“Or perhaps he’s waiting on someone,” Gabriella said with a sly smirk.Everyone looked at Patty.Her eyes widened. “What?”“Okay, let’s cut the bull,” Gabriella said flatly. “
Patty didn’t know how long she and Goldman tongued and lapped at each other’s lips, but she knew she was under a spell when they finally stopped. Her lids were heavy. Her breathing was deep and shallow. Patty was in a haze. She felt his hands move from her waist to her back. Goldman was standing behind her. He expertly untucked and loosened the ribbon to the bodice of her dark red dress. He gently shoved the dress down to her hips. Patty slowly switched her hips as he pushed the dress to the floor, covering her feet. She heard the ruffle of cotton. He was taking his shirt off. Patty was still in a haze as his hands glided up the waist of her red, longline strapless bra. That’s when she remembered she was wearing one of the pieces of lingerie Jackie bought her. The red bra came with matching panties and a garter belt. The garter belt held up her black thigh highs. Goldman kissed and licked her ear as he slowly squeezed her waist. She le
Patty was roused from her slumber by a titillating sensation on her hard nipples. She felt lips on the curve of her breast. She stirred as she slowly opened her eyes. Goldman was lightly kissing her breasts. His thumbs were grazing her nipples. Her womanhood was warm and moist because of his applications. His erection grazed her inner thigh.She lightly exhaled.“Morning, Patty Cake,” he mumbled against her tit. “How’d you sleep?”“Wonderful,” she breathed. She wished she could wake up like this every morning. What a sensual wake-up call. “You?”“Great,” he groaned and lightly bit the curve of her breast.She smiled and turned her head. The fire was still going in the gas fireplace. The morning light was trying to shine in from the curtains. The jazz music wasn’t playing anymore. “What time is it?”He raised his head to look at her. “Does it really matter?” he asked in a deep tone. His eyes were full of mischief and promise.“I guess not,” Patty said as a smile slowly spread across
Goldman watched Patty’s luscious apple ass sashay away. She looked good from the back, too.“Goddamn,” Dalton said with astonishment. “What the fuck has gotten into you?”He turned to look at Dalton.Dalton’s eyebrows were raised. His brown eyes were wide.“What do you mean?” Goldman asked.Dalton laughed. “Jesus, you’re obsessed with her.”“No, I’m not,” he said. “I just enjoy a good lookin’ woman. You know that.”“Goldman, I’ve seen you with your . . . women,” Dalton said. “And you’ve never been so - how can I say this . . . clingy. Not the way you were with Patty, anyway. Why did you make her stay in here with us to make a phone call?”“I wanted to see if there really was nothing going on between her and Carter,” Goldman answered bluntly.“What?” Dalton chuckled. “Her and Carter? Man, shit.” He laughed.“You’re laughing, but it’s possible,” Goldman said. “Did you know that Carter goes over to her house at least twice a week?”Dalton laughed again. “I don’t care if he goes over the
