“I would like to think that you don’t normally fuck men in the wine cellar. I hardly know you though. I want to change that Jackie Keller and I hope if I call you you’ll agree to go on a real date; one in which we wear clothes. I would love to see you in a pair of blue jeans and a cowboy hat. If you can ride a horse like you just rode me, I’ll be amazed.”
Jackie gathered her hair back up in a bun. “We’ll talk Beau. I’m not willing to be one of your many conquests. Expensive baubles don’t impress me and I’m not looking for a husband. What happened tonight was amazing but I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the future.”
They shared a final passionate kiss before walking up the stairs. Jackie allowed Beau to go up first so it wouldn’t appear suspicious. Jackie grabbed her clipboard, wine and re-entered the ballroom.
“Thanks for the wine. I’ve got the table from the Blue Star Ranch and they’re drinking like fish. Quite a raucous bunch. Um, none of my business boss but your shirt is inside out. Are you okay?” Mark whispered in Jackie’s ear.
“Oh, I had a stain that I wanted to treat and it was easier if I took of my blouse. Must have put it on wrong. Thanks for saving me from being embarrassed. People may have thought I was screwing around with someone in the wine cellar.” Jackie was flustered as she crept away to the restroom.
In the bathroom, Jackie had a moment to process what had just happened with Beau Savage. She had known him for 24 hours and already he was complicating her life. Hooking up with a wealthy cowboy was not a part of her plan in Wyoming. She didn’t have a plan for the Clear Creek Resort other than to move on to a property in Nevis or Antigua. Her assistant Colette came into the restroom with Jackie.
“Thanks for throwing me the shift in the dining room tonight, as it’s a nice change from sitting behind a desk. I’m glad I found you because Beau Savage is asking to speak with you. What’s going on with him? His companion is getting tipsy and she’s all over him. Confusing because he sent you flowers — oh well fill me in on Monday,” Colette said.
Jackie sighed and went out to talk to Beau, which was bound to be interesting.
“Mr. Savage, you asked to speak with me. Is there a problem?”
Tiffany was hanging on to Beau’s neck, which was still marked with Jackie’s lipstick.
“On the contrary Ms. Keller, I wanted to compliment you and your staff for your excellent service. The attention to detail is unsurpassed. I’m going to leave something with the concierge to show my thanks.” Beau said while smiling the entire time.
The ballroom was loud and busy as guests started milling about after dinner. Beau laid his hand on Jackie’s thigh and squeezed it making her jump.
“I’ll make sure they know that you’re pleased. If you need anything else please call.”
“I will, I definitely will Ms. Keller.”
“Can I have someone bring your car around because it looks like Ms. Smythe is ready to go home,” Jackie said because Tiffany could hardly sit up straight.
“That would be great. I’ll drop her off at her condo downtown on my way back to the ranch.”
Tiffany managed to speak up. “No, no. I’m going home to the ranch with you Beauregard. I always go home with you. Don’t be a party pooper.” Spit was gathering around the sides of Tiffany’s mouth and Beau was beginning to become embarrassed.
Beau mouthed the word sorry and blew Jackie a kiss goodnight as he led his drunk date to his waiting car.
Beau woke up alone and happier than ever that there was not a woman next to him. He was determined to have Jackie Keller beside him soon. He couldn’t get the beauty out of his mind. It was Saturday and Beau had a rare day with nothing on his calendar. Before he called Jackie because it was only 5:30am, He decided to visit with his grandfather. Beau wanted to tell anyone who would listen that he had finally met someone special.
Beau put on Jeans, UC-Boulder sweatshirt (his alma mater), a beat up cowboy hat and a pair of broken in boots. He walked out to his garage where he kept his collection of about 20 vehicles. He had a couple of Harleys, trucks, sports cars, sedans and his favorite classic Mustang collection. He enjoyed looking at his cars but he left the garage without putting his keys in the ignition.
The stables were calling his name. Horses and the open land were two of the reasons he loved Wyoming and it had been too long since he had enjoyed them. The ranch hand on duty was shocked to see Beau. “Mr. Savage. What can I do for you? I was unaware you’d be riding this morning; had I known I would have gotten your favorite horse ready,” Linus said.
“I’ll relax and walk around the place while you saddle up my favorite stallion. It’s been so long since I’ve set foot in here so I hope Han is still about.”
“He sure is. We take him out and keep him exercised because we know he’s your favorite. Something seems different about you Mr. Savage. Have you just arrived home from vacation cuz you seem very relaxed.”
“Thanks for noticing Linus. I’m just happy. I didn’t even know I was unhappy before.” Beau smiled as he visited the stalls, which he had neglected for so long.
Beau rode Han to his Grandfather’s house. Surveying the property that he was anxious to show Jackie.
“Hey Pops!” Beau tipped his hat to his Grandfather who was surprised to see him on horseback.
“Never thought I’d see the day when you showed up here looking like a real cowboy. What brought this on?”
“You said yourself that I’d know the right one when I saw her. Well, I think I’ve seen her. All I can say that today the sun is shining a little brighter.”
“Do I know her?” Jacob Savage asked.
“No, she’s new to the area and I can’t say I know her too well myself. She works at the Clear Creek Resort so she’s different from the women I normally take home. Jackie has a level of class and beauty that’s unmatched. She’s a college graduate and not interested in snagging a billionaire.”
