The Billionaire’s Proposal

CHAPTER FIVE

It was Luke, his childhood friend but they relocated to England when they were still teenagers, so that made them both lose connection and contact. James immediately stood up from his seat as he rushed to go and hug Luke.

"Jesus, I can't believe this. Is this Luke or my eyes are messing with me? You look so good, rich, and sophisticated bro. I missed you all these years, friend”, James said as he hugged Luke tightly.

It was more like an emotional reunion for the both of them because they felt they weren't ever going to set eyes on each other.

"I came to New York to search for you because my company didn't only sign a contract with yours, I've been hearing about it all over the press and media. I miss you Jammie foodie foodie.." Luke said as he began to laugh.

James grew apoplectic with shame but he could do nothing about it. "Don't dare call me that again you spoiled brat," James said and they both burst out laughing deeply.

They talked about a whole lot of things and gave each other the best gist about things that had happened over the years.

"One of the major reasons I'm also here is to invite you to my wife's birthday which is coming up in a few days here at our family house in New York. I would definitely wanna see and have you around bro," Luke said calmly, not sure if James was going to accept his invitation.

"Of course, I'm going to be there. You stood by me then and I will do the same for you now." James felt very much relieved speaking and talking to Luke because it had been a long time since he had the opportunity and privilege of speaking with a genuine friend who understood him very much.

They both exchanged contacts as Luke headed out of the office to the garage where he had parked his customized Mercedes Benz truck James escorted him behind while they chit-chatted on the way. Indeed, the moment was old but it was gold.

After Luke had gone home, James was happy about reconnecting with an old-time buddy that he had counted off not meeting again for the rest of their lives. Luke on the contrary was happy too that he had met James too.

*****

The day for the birthday party of Luke's wife was here. It was the thorough definition of class, wealth, and sophistication.

Every end of the royal castle spelled wealth. Luke had arrived in style too as he was given a grand welcome because he was not just a billionaire, he was equally a childhood friend to Luke.

Most people that came around came in pairs, married, or in a love relationship. The color of the day was white so everywhere was just filled with the immaculate and beautiful radiation of the white color.

July, the chief celebrant, and Luke’s wife was the real deal, she was looking so hot and ravishing and sexy that anyone could hardly overlook. Just the mere sight of her gave James a hard time but he didn't seem to care because if the opportunity to have a thing with July came, he would utilize it without thinking twice.

July was a tall woman above six feet, curvy and hot. She was of African descent too. Time for the dance was up and the celebrant headed inside to use the master's convenience when James entered.

"Oh sorry ma'am that I barged in without knocking, I didn't know this was the master's bedroom and convenient. I'll leave now please”, James said.

James had walked in on July naked. She had gone in to change into more casual wear as she was done with the main outing.

It's no big deal Mr handsome. You're very charming I must say, my husband had told me about you earlier and I must say, you're just too cute." July complimented him.

July was still standing unclad before James with only her lingerie on. The b***r James was having couldn't be hidden anymore and he tried every possible best to conceal the embarrassment.

"I will have to leave, July, we are going to meet soon."

James had gotten to the door when July called him back in a filthy manner. "Don't you like what you see? This body is all yours”, she asked, moving close to him.

He was dazed and shocked at the same time because he couldn't believe that Luke's wife could throw herself so cheaply at him but he still tried to play a good friend but deep down, he couldn't wait to go down on her.

She was a vision of seduction in lacy lingerie, and the scent of her perfume intoxicated him.

"What about your husband, Luke, what if he finds out or catches us right now?" He asked concernedly but the lady was already deeply engrossed in the moment.

"Come on, we ain't kids and he can never find out. He's been cheating on me all this while even with my best friend but I chose to be calm so he has no moral right to judge me." July replied, holding James' right hand as she placed it on her body.

Their eyes locked, and desire ignited. July moved closer to James, and they both began to kiss passionately and intimately. They reveled in the forbidden pleasure they found in each other's arms.

"Oh yes, you're so manly James, my husband sucks at romance and foreplay and he barely puts me in the mood. He would only mount me like some piece of wood and climb down in no time. Thank you, sweetheart, you're the best birthday present I've received ever,” she said in a very sweet and quiet voice.

James cared less about what July had to say, all he was after was the maximum satisfaction and pleasure he was going to derive from going down the bed with July.

The feeling was tremendous and heavenly for the both of them until a heavy knock on the door spoiled them.

"Oh Jesus, who could that be? What am I going to tell your husband that I'm doing with his wife right inside his matrimonial home?" James was feeling kind of guilty because he didn't know what exactly to think about concerning what just happened.

"You don't need to fret handsome, I got this and nothing is going to happen." With that, July tied her towel over her bosom as she headed to get the door.

"Who's on the door, please? I was in the bathroom." She shouted convincingly as she made me hide behind the wardrobe. It was Luke on the door, he came to check up on his wife July.

"Sorry babe that I had to interrupt your bath, I just came to check up on you, I've missed you and I can't wait for this party to be over so that I can give you the best bedroom treat that you can imagine." Luke was already aroused by the mere sight of his wife but he didn't want to go further.

He knew that they had a whole lot of guests to attend to and he had to stand in for her until she was done bathing.

"Alright babe, I'm going to be waiting till then but for now, I have to go back to the shower to complete my bath. I will catch you later downstairs," July said as she shot the door.

James came out from the back of the wardrobe and breathed an air of relief. "We will continue some other time, I have to go downstairs to the reception ground to avoid raising suspicion or running out of luck again. You have my contact and you can always call me," He whispered.

They both hugged intimately as James too walked out of the room to the reception ground downstairs. He immediately ran into Luke who wasn't that pleased seeing him because he had been searching for him.

"Old boy, where have you been, I even thought you had gone home without informing me," Luke asked.

"Far from that Luke, I went to use the restroom and I missed my way so I had to walk through this whole building before I found my way out," James explained convincingly to Luke.

"Are you sure you weren't doing anything with a random girl or something? you are a bad old guy, I know what you're so capable of doing," Luke whined.

They both burst out laughing as Luke led him around the beautiful castle and introduced him to a whole number of people who came for the birthday ceremony.

It was time for the birthday photoshoot as July glamorously stepped out of the castle looking like a Barbie. She wore a long floral pink gown and a white high heel. Luke was confused about the similar fragrance he was perceiving from James's body.

"I can't understand this but I must say that I'm perceiving the same fragrance my wife uses for her body. I don't know if you use the same perfume or body spray,”He said confusingly.

“You mean my perfume?” James asked in fear.

“Yes but the issue right now is that the body spray of hers is customized and she's the only one who owns it. I can equally see some lipstick stains all over your white suit," Luke replied as he touched James' dress.

James was visibly terrified because he was too shocked to even say a word.
