MIRISA DECIDED to leave the children at the brownstone and rode with Meeks out to the Manor after lunch on Saturday. The staff was in full swing getting the house ready for the fundraiser, so they went into the library and curled up on the couch while Meeks did some paperwork and she read a book. The butler brought them coffee and meat pies around four.

“Must be nice to be wealthy and spoiled.” Mirisa looked up as James came through the door leaned over and kissed her

“I’m glad you made it back in time for tonight.”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” James sat down and picked up a piece of meat pie and sat back eating it. Garnett and Dominic walked in and Garnett picked up a pocket before acknowledging anyone.

“Garnett pull the sash, please.” Garnett reached up and pulled it as he picked up the bottle and sat down on the couch next to Mirisa. The butler came in and she asked for more food and fresh coffee. He brought back a tray filled with an assortment of the food they were having on the buffet and left with the other tray. Garnett wasted no time filling a plate. She didn’t know how he stayed so trim when he ate so much.

Mirisa reached over and ran her fingers across Garnett’s face. “I love the mustache and day old shadow. It makes you extremely enticing.” They all looked at Garnett and Dominic laughed because he knew she was attracted to the rugged look. She put down her book and walked behind his chair leaning over to talk to Dominic quietly. Dominic leaned back and put his hand over hers as he listened. Mirisa returned with a bowl of chocolate.

“Mirisa, do we get to play before the event?” James lit his cigar watching her.

“No, I am just in the mood for chocolate and they were sitting on the table so I took them.” Mirisa ate one very, very slowly while keeping her eyes on James.

“Then can we play in the stable after the event?”

“Depends on whether or not you know how much whisky it takes to play before I pass out.”

“I think we’re a pretty good judge of your reactions. What are you drinking tonight?”

“Nothing, I have to have my wits about me so I don’t do something scandalous.”

Mirisa put another cream in her mouth and Garnett reached up and turned her head and kissed her. She ran her fingers on his lips. “I really like the mustache.” She kissed him again then ran her thumb down it. Garnett grabbed her wrist putting her fingers in his mouth and sucked off the chocolate. She turned so she was facing Garnett and Meeks grabbed her around the waist and pulled her away.

“If this is any indication what you are like sober then I don’t think they’ll be able to handle you on whisky tonight.” She laid back looking up at him as she reached over picking up a cherry and biting it before putting it in his mouth.
