“I hope this isn’t too forward, but I’m glad you’re staying. Anyone who isn’t twenty minutes early and dying to meet you isn’t worth your time, anyway.”
“How was your dinner tonight, really?” His question is so much more professional than I expected that I have to blink away my surprise before I can answer. “I wasn’t lying at the restaurant,” I tell him. “It really was the best dinner I’ve had.” His eyes search mine curiously. “And why’s that?” I let out a puff of laughter. “Are you fishing for compliments?” “I’m not sure I could handle a compliment from you.” I arch an eyebrow in response. “The service was exemplary.” An honest to God shudder runs through the man. “Yup, I was right,” he says, nodding with exaggeration.
“You’re…a chef?” He merely nods. “I… That’s… Wow.” A grin stretches across Ryder’s face. “I’d kill to know what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours right now.” I’m thinking you were hot before, but picturing you as a chef? Cooking, and then feeding me? I didn’t have a chef kink before, but I definitely do now.
I let out a nervous laugh. “I might be bad at it.” He shrugs. “Who cares? Are you doing it to be good at it, or to experience it?” I pause for a heartbeat. “That’s how you approach everything, isn’t it?” “Damn right it is. Life’s too short to live in a box.”
