checked.
Nathan seems to catch my confusion and he quickly explains.
“I always threw a party for my uncle when he was alive. Even though I know it’s sort of unconventional, I throw a small celebration each year on his birthday. It’s my way of honoring his memory with his closest friends.”
I nod.
“Of course, Mr. Thompson. How many attendees are you expecting at your celebration?”
“A hundred and fifty, possibly two hundred. I’ll have a more accurate count once the party is closer.”
I try to avoid raising my eyebrows in surprise at the number. Two hundred people sounds like a lot more than close friends, but who am I to judge? My only job is to make sure that this party has all the food and desserts anyone could possibly need.
“Absolutely,” I tell him with a polite smile. “I can accommodate your needs without a problem.”
Now it’s his turn to smirk at me, obviously catching my not-intended double entendre.
“I mean-“ I start, trying to save myself, but it’s no use. He starts laughing out loud and I quickly follow suit.
“I’m so sorry,” I tell him, catching my breath. “I didn’t mean anything by that. I just meant that I won’t have a problem getting enough food.”
“I know, but it’s not every day I meet women who aren’t afraid to joke around with me. It’s pleasant.”
I blush, but try not to. His words warm my heart in ways he could never imagine. I made him laugh and he’s a billionaire who just told me that I’m not like all the other girls. He has no idea how amazing it is to hear those words.
Though I’m not terribly self-conscious about my size or my dating history, it doesn’t mean I’m used to people judging me before they get to know me. Once people find out that I’m a professional baker and chef, the knowing glances are enough to make me want to tear my hair out. I’m not fat because of my job! Furthermore, I don’t think it’s particularly fair that no one looks twice at a skinny person who happens to work in the food industry, but as soon as a chef happens to be overweight, it’s the end of the world.
End of soapbox.
“Let’s talk about your menu ideas,” I say, trying to shift the discussion back to business. The event is, after all, only a few weeks away. If Nathan wants everything to be perfect – and I know that he does – then we need to get to work as quickly as possible.
He hesitates only a moment before leaning forward and almost whispering, “Any chance you’ll be on the menu?”
If I was wearing panties, they’d be soaked right now.

“And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Red Thundercock!”
The crowd goes wild as the announcer screams the name of the hottest dancer at the club. He’s the entire reason Sasha managed to drag me out here tonight. She yanked up the picture of his abs the club has showcased on their website, along with some other, uh, not-so-suitable pictures.
I was wet before the picture finished loading and then we were out the door.
Now, surrounded by throngs of screaming women, I’m glad we got here early enough to land spots in the front row. I almost feel sorry for the women at the back of the room who can't see what I'm seeing. I'm almost close enough to touch.
Almost.
Red comes out, surrounded by smoke and lights, dressed like a super-sexy soldier. He rips his top and pants off to the beat of the music, revealing his thick, girthy cock. The only thing separating me from his dick is a thin layer of satin.
Well, that and the glare from the security guard standing just to my left.
I’m sure he’s used to girls trying to climb on stage. His eyes warn me silently that he’s watching me, just waiting for an excuse to kick me
