several hours, trying to master recipes and get the ratios just right. I kept my distance from Travis, not wanting to give him the wrong impression.
“Here, let me help you,” Travis chimed in behind me while I reached on my tiptoes for the top shelf. I backed up and let him in front of me. His long arms had no problem reaching as he gracefully handed me the bowl I was trying to reach.
“Thank you.” I nodded, trying to keep a small distance between us.
“No problem. Hey, the others were talking about getting a drink after. Do you want to go with us?” he asked, as I walked back to my station.
“Sorry, I can’t. I have to grab Stella after this and get her in for the night,” I responded, hoping that was enough.
“Oh, okay, maybe another time then.” He smiled and walked the other way.
Blakely approached me shortly after with a wide knowing grin on her face. “Where the hell did that eye candy come from?” She was basically drooling as she fanned her face.
“Oh, Travis. We met a couple times before,” I answered quietly, hoping he wouldn’t overhear Blakely and I talking about him.
“Oh, please tell!” She sounded like an excited child.
I laughed at her eagerness, but gave in anyway. “We first met at a coffee house when we ran into each other, causing me to drop my phone and crack the screen. Then we ran into each other at the children’s museum over the weekend. He has a five-year-old son.” I was hoping she wouldn’t further the interrogation, so I slowly started to walk away as I placed my bowls in the sink.
“Sooo…is he single?” she persisted.
“As far as I know.”
“Sweet.” She bit her lip and turned to stare at him. “Unless you’re interested?” she glanced back at me.
“No, he’s all yours.” I smiled, and walked away.
I was the last one in the kitchen when I heard the door swing open. I felt warm arms wrap around my waist, and soft lips nuzzle my neck. I moaned as I caught Drake’s scent.
“This is a pleasant surprise.” I turned around and kissed his full lips. He grabbed my hips and lifted me up on the counter without loosening his grip. He grabbed my face in for a deeper kiss, running his fingers through my hair. I smiled, knowing we were in a public place, and could be caught at any moment. ,
He slowly unfastened the buttons on my chef’s coat one by one. “You look very sexy in this,” he teased continuing to kiss down my neck and chest after each button had opened.
“Oh, this old thing?” I grinned, tugging on my collar.
He smirked, and continued pulling my shirt off, exposing my naked skin. He continued as he moved his lips down to my neck, kissing his way to my breast, unsnapping my bra in the meantime. He rubbed my nipples between his fingers, making them hard. I moaned in his ear, and tilted my head back, giving him access to me.
“Let’s pull your hair down, baby.” He tossed my chef’s hat to the floor and took out my hairpins. I always pulled my hair up under my hat, and only allowed a few wisps to fall on my face.
He reached behind me, softly grazing my bare shoulder as he grabbed a red silicone brush; keeping his eyes locked on mine. I shot him a confused look, and he raised his eyebrows, giving me a reassuring smile. I went along with it, curious as to what was on his mind. He brushed it down my torso, and a shiver ran through me as the bristles touched me.
“Drake…” I pleaded. He teased me as he dragged the brush down my body, just barely touching me. He was making my body ache.
“Hold tight, baby.” Drake pushed my pants down, exposing my panties. He pulled them to the side and inserted two fingers deep inside me. I moaned out, letting him know I was enjoying him. He quickly unbuttoned his pants, reached around for his wallet again, and let them pool to his feet. After sliding the condom on, he pressed against me and slid inside.
“Christ, Molly…” he whimpered on a heavy sigh. “You feel amazing.” He
