“I don’t think so, Harriet,” Finn’s deep voice sounded in the kitchen. “We need to go to my study, and we need to talk now. You have some explaining to do.”

I knew I was about to get fired, and Finn would have every reason to let me go. I had a feeling he wouldn’t even pay me for the hours I had worked because, frankly, I hadn’t done a good job. I was nervous as we entered his office.

“Close the door, please,” he said as he walked over to his desk.

I closed the door and then turned around and stood to face him. I took a deep breath. “I know what you’re going to say. I—”

“What am I going to say, Harriet?”

“You’re going to say that the food thus far hasn’t been acceptable, but…”

He nodded slightly. “That’s correct. What happened to those eggs? You—”

“I know. I know. I nearly killed people and—”

“What?” he said. “What are you talking about?”

“Chelsea told me that you guys had to call nine-one-one because someone had a heart attack.”

“Oh, no. Dr. Port had a little bit of indigestion. He’s fine. He burped. He got it out.”

“Oh, okay. Phew,” I said, relief crashing over me like waves. At least I wasn’t going to get sued. My parents would have just loved that.

“Harriet, I’m going to ask you a question.”

“Yes, Finn?”

“Are you or are you not a professionally trained chef?”

I felt my heart racing as he looked me up and down. I was nervous as he walked toward me. “Now, think very carefully about your answer.” His eyes gazed into mine with a serious look.

“Um, okay.”

“Depending on your answer, you may get another spanking.”

“What?” I stared at him, my jaw dropping. He was hot, and I was always down for some kinky fun, but I didn’t think this was an appropriate time for him to start pleasuring me. Even though I really wanted it.

“I said, depending on your answer.”

“I know what you said.” I started laughing. I couldn’t stop myself. I watched as a look of surprise crossed over his face.

“What’s so funny, Harriet?”

“Just you. Like, you’re going to give me a spanking if you don’t like my answer? What the hell?”

“I think you know what I mean when I say that.”

“I know what you mean. You’re going to give me a spanking, and then you’re going to touch me, and maybe you’re hoping we’re going to fuck. But literally people just spat up my appetizer. I need to make sure the next course is better, and I’m not going to be able to do that if I’m in here banging you.”

His lips twitched. “That is true.”
