“Does it bother you that I’m friends with Ty?”

“Not at all. I know you’re committed to me so why should it bother me?”

“Just checking.”

He fingered the string around my neck. “I like this bikini on you. You’re very sexy.”

I giggled. “Ever the charmer.”

“Shall we call everyone to let them know we’re engaged?”

“Not yet. Let it be our little secret for a day.”

Oliver sat down on the lounge chair and kissed me, caressing my breast with his fingers. I looked up at the buildings around us and felt my face heat. The building across from us had a direct line to the patio.

“What’s the matter?”

“People can see us,” I whispered.

“You’re not naked for heaven’s sake.”

“But your hand is on my breast.”

Oliver gave me a wicked smile. “Should I take you inside and do this?”

“I thought you had work to do?”

“I do but you come first. Are you declining sex?”

“I never said that, but I am a little sore.”

“I have the cure for that,” he said as he licked his lips.

“Later.”

He looked at me shocked. “I get it. I put a ring on your finger and now you’re freezing me out.”

“That isn’t what I’m doing.”

His phone rang before he could answer me. He rose from the chair and walked away as he talked to the person on the other end. I wondered what he was up to.

Chapter 15

“Were you really working this morning?”

“Yes. I had a bunch of things to take care of. Why?”

“Because this meal is unbelievable.”

At five, Oliver had a dress delivered to the penthouse. He corralled me in the bedroom, closing the drapes that looked out on the patio. I knew he had something planned but I played along as my excitement grew. I took my time in the shower and hoped he would join me, but he didn’t. When I came out, he was dressed in a light gray suit, lavender shirt and purple tie. A handkerchief the same color as his tie was neatly folded and sticking out of his pocket.

“Are we going out?”

“Maybe.”

“Tell me where,” I demanded.

Oliver held his hand up. “It’s a surprise. Get dressed,” he ordered.
