of the crowd around them, Serena instinctively tensed.  She knew of his exhibitionist tendencies, but had always had trouble complying, especially in front of such a large and prestigious gathering.
    “Come,” Price said as he grabbed their glasses of champagne and stood.  “I’ve had a special meal prepared just for you.”  He led her to a large private dining room.
    Four of the five tables were elegantly set with fine china, crystal stemware and shining flatware placed atop napkins of the finest linen.  The table in the center of them all was simply set with one long white tablecloth and several rolls of hot washcloths.
    “I’m hungry,” Price grunted.  He wrapped his hands around her waist and sat her atop the table in the middle.
    Serena quickly understood that she was to be the main course on his special menu and lay back on the table.
    “Now, that’s a table set for a king.”  He slipped off one Louboutin and slowly ran his finger from her toes up to her knee and onward to her thigh.  “This gown is exquisite,” he grumbled as he reached the top of the draped slit.  With hardened fingers, he passed over the bodice of her gown and set his hand between her breasts.
    His gaze suddenly left her and he smiled.  “Dinner is served.”
    Serena followed the direction of his gaze and saw three handsome young waiters come in with platters of sushi.  Standing side by side, they awaited instruction.
    “Please,” Price said as he waved the men in.  “Allow me the pleasure of watching you set my lovely table.”
    Two of the young men blushed while the other hungrily licked his lips.  They approached the table and began placing various morsels on the table around her.
    “I want to eat them off her,” Price commanded.  “Not around her.”
    With nervous fingers, one of the blushing young men set a sushi on her bare shoulder.  He then hesitated as he held a piece over the bodice of her dress.  Price nodded, granting permission to soil the elegant gown.  The bolder young man set a series of morsels up her bare thigh.  With every piece he set down, his heated fingers brushed her skin in a tantalizing manner.  When he reached the top of her slip, he fingered the fabric of her gown a moment then daringly pulled it aside, exposing more of her thigh.  The young man licked his lips while his fascinated gaze took in every additional inch of flesh.  When he reached her hips, he seemed surprised by the lack of panties and his gaze quickly shifted to the crux of her thighs.
    Serena shot a questioning glance at Price.  Though he had a possessive streak and was easily given to fits of jealousy, he also had a voyeuristic side that enjoyed toying and teasing other men with the possibilities.
    His eyes riveted on the bold young man, Price seemed to enjoy the man’s fascination with Serena’s luscious body.  His eyes widened with curiosity as the brash waiter pulled Serena’s draped skirt apart, exposing all she held private.  He set a long, narrow piece of sushi just above her clitoris, and Serena let out an involuntary sigh as his finger lingered on the nub of nerves a moment.
    “Excellent,” Price muttered with hunger.  “I think I can take it from here.”
    The bold young man, obviously hungering for more, hesitated a moment before making his retreat with the others.
    “Now,” Price said.  “Let me feast on you, my lovely dish.”  At her ankle, he slurped up a small piece of sushi and quickly moved up her thigh.  When he reached the strategically placed sushi on her clitoris, he lapped it up with a wide and exquisite sweep of his tongue.
    The quick and titillating touch left Serena grasping the table cloth around her, but Price refused her the right to an expedient orgasm. He walked around the table and picked a sushi off her shoulder.  Holding the piece between his teeth, he came to her and with teasing motions he passed it over her lips, urging her to open her mouth, only to pull the morsel
