Partner's jump to 4♠ indicates he is prepared to play at game even if you have as few as 6 points. So he must have 20 points or so. With your 14 that puts you in slam range.

Despite your conviction that this hand is going to slam you should NOT ask for Key-Cards holding a worthless doubleton. Instead, you make a slam try by bidding your cheapest control, 5♣.
Partner says 5. What is your next bid?

You can only say 5♠. Partner would have control-bid s if he held the Ace since controls are bid up-the-line. His failure to show it means he doesn't have it. Since you might be off the first two tricks you stop at 5♠.

Yes, partner should probably have opened 2NT. Sometimes partners don't make the bids you think they oughta.
