“I don’t know,” I said. As I unzipped his pants and reached my hand in, I felt his cock growing beneath my fingers, and I smirked. “I think you’re happy to see and feel me.”
“Harriet,” he whispered in my ear, the sound tight and almost delirious.
“Yes, Finn.” I licked my lips. I couldn’t believe I was doing this. I couldn’t believe I was touching this man to distract him. But maybe I was just using instinct, using it as an excuse because I wanted to touch him anyway. I wasn’t sure, but I could feel that my panties were wet. I could feel myself wanting him. I wanted to feel him inside of me. I wanted to have sex with him, and I didn’t care that I barely knew the man. Sometimes your body wanted to get to know someone better, regardless of whether you knew them inside and out.
“Harriet,” he whispered again.
“Yes, Finn.”
“What’s going wrong with the branzino?” he asked. And I stilled; my hand stopped rubbing his cock up and down.
“What?” I said as I looked into his eyes, and he chuckled slightly.
“That’s the oldest trick in the book, honey.”

“Look, I’m going to be very frank with you, Finn,” I said, as I played with my hair. I wondered exactly how honest to be with him. I wanted to come completely clean, but I also wanted to get that fat paycheck.
“Yes. Go ahead.”
He surveyed my face, waiting patiently.
“I haven’t been able to put forth my best work so far. One, I was a little bit upset about losing my previous job, and that got me a little bit flustered, and then I started this job so quickly in a new kitchen.”
And I had to admit that I wanted to groan at what I was about to say, but I knew I had to say it.
“Continue, Harriet, please.”
“I have to say that my immediate spark and attraction to you has caused me to be a little bit absentminded.”
I could see his eyes widening slightly.
“Really?” He raised a single eyebrow. “My being here has affected your cooking?”
“Yes, and no. I mean, look, normally, when I’m making and creating dishes, I’m solely focused on those dishes, but because we have this crazy sexual chemistry…”
I wanted to die, but I knew if he were like any of the other men I had known in the past, his ego would be eating this up.
“And when I’m around you, I get butterflies, and I just want to kiss you and touch you, and that’s got me not so focused on the food. And I made a mistake having Chelsea and Polly help me in the kitchen.”
I was so glad my sisters weren’t here to hear this because they would kill me.
“But they can’t cook for shit, and I’ve let them help in ways that I shouldn’t, because I was so focused on trying to make this party perfect and make you happy, and I let them add their touches, and I’m afraid they ruined the food and—”
“What do you mean, ruined the food? The other food is ruined as well, not just the deviled eggs?”
“I’m not sure, but I might need some time to make everything better.” I pouted. “I’m so sorry, Finn. I know you put your trust in me to entertain your guests.”
“My very important guests, I might add.”
“I know. Your very important guests. And I personally want to apologize to Dr. Port and everyone else. This is not my best work. I’m going to admit it. It is not the finest dishes I’ve ever put out. It is not the reason I won first place in the culinary competition my first year of culinary school.”
