Jolie’s knee. “I like what I see and I’d like to see a hell of a lot more of it, so, with that in mind, what will it be? Do I take you home, or…”
    Richard let the words sit there as he switched on the engine and then reached across to fasten Jolie into her seatbelt. He deliberately let his fingers graze her nipples, and her sharp intake of breath was music to his ears. This had to be her decision, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t try some ungentlemanly persuasion. He clicked her seatbelt in and kissed her nose at the same time, causing his girl to go cross eyed in her attempt to focus on him, and he grinned.
    “I should warn you though, I need to make an appearance at my sister’s first.” He glanced at Jolie, as he fastened his own seatbelt, and he could almost see her debating her options in her head. The urge to push her for an answer was a twisting knife in his gut, but he forced himself to be patient, and waited for her to speak.
    “Well, if you need to go and see your sister, I’ll only be in the way, so—”
    “On the contrary, you would be a life saver if you came along as my…” He paused as her eyes widened at his interrupting her, and with sudden clarity he knew what he had to say. “Date, girlfriend, significant other … put whatever label you’d like on it, just as long as you’re mine.”
    Another one of those gasps escaped her lips, and his groin tightened painfully. He really couldn’t wait to hear her making those cock hardening sounds while she was tied to his bed.
    Soon, they just had to get through this interminable party.
    “I—that is … you don’t date women in the office.”
    Her cheeks heated as she said that, and she didn’t seem capable of looking at him while she fiddled nervously with the hem of her dress. Richard reached across and put his hand over hers.
    “I don’t, but I very much want to date you.”
    Again with that sharp intake of breath, and pressing his advantage he rushed on.
    “Well, date is too tame a word for what I really want to do, but it will have to do for now. Say ‘yes, Sir’.”
    “Yes, Sir.”
    “Good girl, that wasn’t so hard now, was it?”
    He smiled when she shook her head and worried her bottom lip with her teeth. Her nervousness poured off her in waves, and the wave of protectiveness he felt toward her made him reach out to her again.
    “There’s no need to be so nervous, little one.  I’d skip my sister’s if I could, but it’s my birthday and—”
    “It’s your birthday?” Jolie looked mortified at having interrupted him, and also more worried than ever, so Richard shrugged.
    “Yeah, it’s no big deal, but my sister is apparently throwing me a surprise birthday party, so I have to show my face, and act suitably surprised, you know.” He pulled a face when she didn’t say anything to that. “I hate surprises, which is why my brother-in-law told me. Plus, he no doubt knew that I was thinking of not going at all.  I’d rather forget about turning forty, you know.”
    Her eyes widened at those words, and he grinned.
    “This is your cue to say that I don’t look a day over thirty or something.” He winked at her to show he wasn’t serious, but Jolie frowned at him.
    “You don’t, but that’s not what I was thinking.”
    The back handed compliment did feel good, especially as little Jolie here was eleven years his junior. Another reason why he’d stayed away from her, despite his immediate attraction to the redhead.
    “I’m glad to hear that. I had visions of you declaring me far too old for you.” His gut twisted when she didn’t laugh that off, but simply continued to study him.
    “With all due respect, Sir, you’re talking nonsense.”
    She giggled when he pulled back in surprise. That unexpected sass was rather delightful, and she wasn’t done yet, it seemed.
    “And at the risk of earning myself a very sore behind, you surely know that. I just have a hard time figuring out why you’d want me with
