“But it does.” I agree. We both chuckle. I reach over and trace her bottom lip. “If you want to treat me like a piece of meat, I’m not opposed to it. But only for you. And in private.”
Not for the public. Not for the views. I want something that’s just between us. Something that’s real.
“Noted.” She says. She bites the tip of my finger and then rolls over to her side.
The next morning I have breakfast ready. Lisa comes to sit down already dressed to conquer the day. Meanwhile I’m shirtless with briefs and an apron on.
“Why did you have a stranger fired? You didn’t know my cousin’s husband. Did you even learn his name before you had him fired?”
Wow. Right out the gate. I pour a cup of coffee and study her before taking a sip. “What brought this on?”
“I’ve been trying to understand you. It’s fine if you were wanting to play the macho hero -”
“Whoa.” I hold a hand up. “I never need to feel macho. However I do not tolerate that behavior when it becomes bullying, and you shouldn’t either. Don’t stand for it or settle and sayit’s okay.I believe in sticking up to bullies. I’ve been bullied by people at school and my dad. My nephew is being bullied by his dick of father. I’m not surprised he had that guy working for him for so long… now that I think about it. It checks. That’s his vibe.” I watch her over the rim of my glass as the hot liquid calms me.
“It was more than me, wasn’t it? It was personal. You’re trying to save everyone from what you went through.”
“Don’t analyze me. I’m not that deep.” I busy myself pouring her a cup of coffee.
“So you say. You’re right. That kind of behavior doesn’t need to go unchecked. You pushed me to do what I should’ve done long time ago. Thank you. I might’ve kept talking myself in circles if you hadn’t come along. I want to help you.”
“You already are. More than you know.”
“Doubtful but thanks. It’s no hardship getting to eat this good every day.” Then she says softly, “I’m going to figure out a way to help you the way you’ve pushed and helped me.”
Chapter 14
Lisa
We’re almost finished with shooting the competition. Casey is in the finals. I leave the studio early to focus on some of the videos I took. I want to piece something special together. Different angles of him as he is cooking. Slow shots of his hands working. Some closeups of his eyes and lips. Some of the shots are very sensual. I make two different reels. One is very seductive and the other is contemporary and upbeat.
The sensual and seductive one has me sweating. I add the right music and it’s… well, nobody could say cooking is lame, that’s for sure. I then notice the cupcakes Casey had left on the counter. Feeling mischievous I make a video of me eating them. A video that rivals the classic scene inWhen Harry Met Sally.
Casey: What are you up to?
ME: Pleasuring myself
Casey: Send pics or it didn’t happen…
ME: How about a video?
Casey: I’m waiting
Casey: I’m about to stroke out… You can’t leave me waiting like this
ME:
I giggle and scream. I can’t believe I just sent him that. Five seconds later another text comes through.
Casey: I’m on my way. Stay exactly how you are.
Oh my gosh. I quickly run to the bathroom to clean myself up. Do a quick shave of my legs, because just in case. Right before Casey arrives, I remember my videos of him. I need to post on his socials today. Since we’re both feeling feisty, I go with the mood. I post the sensual one.

I sit down on the floor with a new cupcake like I was in the video. Casey storms into the room. His hungry eyes land on me. “Too fucking perfect,” he says in a voice that is low and predatory.
“You wanna taste?” I ask innocently.
