Her Secret Ingredient by Lisabet Sarai
Blurb
Stir in a pinch to
stir up his passion
When the Tastes of France food channel offers
Mei Lee “Emily” Wong a series of guest spots, she jumps at the opportunity to
take her culinary career to a whole new level. Ultimately, she wants a show of
her own, but first she has to prove herself to Michelin-starred network founder
and effective dictator, Etienne Duvalier. A legend in the world of classic French
cuisine as well as a domineering perfectionist, Etienne is sceptical about the
culinary abilities of a woman from Hong Kong. To make things more difficult,
the master chef is also so gorgeous that Emily can't help being attracted to
him.
Emily tries to solve both problems by spiking
her luscious profiteroles with an ancient Oriental aphrodisiac. Unfortunately,
Harry Sanborne, the low-key, bespectacled producer for Emily's show, samples
the delicacies she intends for Etienne's consumption. His powerful reaction to
her secret ingredient comes as a pleasant surprise to them both. Harry turns
out to be far more impressive in bed than on the set. However, he can't do
nearly as much to advance her ambitions as Etienne. Emily tries once more to
tempt the exacting M. Duvalier with her special cooking as well as her feminine
charms. The outrageous results threaten to end her TV career forever - until
Harry steps in to save her reputation and claim her heart.

Excerpt
“How are you getting on with Monsieur le Chef?”
“What?” I
nearly toppled off my stool. I’d been focused on my iPad, poring over my recipe
files and trying to figure out how much I’d need to modify them to satisfy
Duvalier.
A firm grip steadied me. “Sorry! Didn’t mean to startle you.
Etienne said you might need some help with your test dishes.” When he was
certain I was not going to fall, the newcomer released my shoulder and extended
his hand. “Harry Sanborne, at your service. Head producer, chief bottle washer,
and all-around handy-man.”
A thirty-something man with longish black hair and
dark-rimmed glasses grinned down at me. He wore loose-fitting jeans, a green
plaid sport shirt and a dreadful beige cardigan sweater like something that
might have belonged to my Chinese grandfather. Somehow I’d expected the producer would be more corporate.
This guy looked like he belonged behind the counter at some back street
bookstore. He had scrumptious nutmeg brown eyes, though, brimming with laughter
behind his spectacles, and I heard genuine warmth in his voice.
“Mei Lee Wong. But you already know that. My friends call me
Emily.”
“I hope I can count myself in that fortunate number, Emily!”
He hiked his bottom up onto the stool beside mine. His baggy clothing didn’t
completely conceal the fact that he was lithe and fit. “So does he have you
cringing in terror yet?”
“Not exactly. Let’s just say that our culinary philosophies
are not exactly in sync.”
“He’s been at you about the sacredness of French cuisine,
hmm? Talking about how it’s a sacrilege to modify the holy recipes that have
been passed down through the centuries?”
I chuckled. “That’s exactly the word he used! The problem
is, all my recipes are riffs on traditional dishes. My specialty is
contemporary French-Asian fusion. I’ll have to start from scratch to give him
what he wants. And to be honest, I’m not sure I want to.”
The producer tugged on his chin with thumb and forefinger.
He reminded me of Rodin’s statue. “Actually, if you stand up to him, you’ll be
doing the network a favour. With
his looks and charm – yes, he’s charming on his show, believe it or not – he’s
still a draw, but serious foodies are starting to get a bit bored.”
“Oh?” I glanced at my watch. “Do you mind if I chop some
veggies while we talk? He gave me a deadline and I’d like to be able to keep
that, regardless of what I cook.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
I selected a six inch blade from the rack on the counter and
began peeling carrots. “Anyway, you were saying the viewers are bored?”
Harry swivelled his seat so he could watch me work. I didn’t
mind – I’d cooked in open kitchens, and if I was going to be on television, I
had to get used to having an audience. And somehow, though I’d known him for
only a few minutes, the dishevelled young producer made me feel comfortable.
”Yeah. The ratings for the channel as a whole are falling,
because he won’t work with any chef who refuses to toe his line. That’s one
reason the execs pressured him to contact you. Fresh blood and all that.”
“Hmm.” My knife rose and fell with satisfying precision,
creating uniform half-inch cubes of crisp orange. I swept the diced carrots
into a pile at one end of the cutting block, then started on the onions.
“Amazing. I could never do that. When I try to cook, the
results look like something from a slasher movie.” He flipped his hair out of
his eyes. “Anyway, the first two guest chefs the network hired – Etienne drove
them away.”
I set the blade down. I’d chilled the onions ahead of time,
but my eyes watered nevertheless. Harry handed me a handkerchief. What a sweet
guy. If only Etienne were more like him.
“He’s not going
to drive me away, Harry. I swear it.” I’d been the only woman in my class at
the Cordon Bleu school in Paris, and the only Asian. They’d made it clear I
didn’t belong. I’d stuck it out, three gruelling years to get my Grand Diplôme.
Then there was all the time working my way up the ranks: commis entremets, chef
saucier, sous chef.
It would take more than one sexy, stubborn Frenchman to stop
me.
I dumped the onions into a bowl and covered them with
plastic wrap, then paused. My beef burgundy used green apples and sliced Asian
long beans. Did I dare include such unconventional ingredients here in
Etienne’s kingdom?
“The other
guest chefs weren’t nearly as pretty as you.” Harry’s sincerity made me blush.
“Too bad he’s not more – uh - susceptible.”
You know how in cartoons they show light bulbs appearing
above the characters’ heads? That’s how I felt when the idea occurred to me. It
was so obvious, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it sooner.

“Even our Monsieur le Chef can be swayed by great
food. The desserts – oh, I’ve just got to try one of these...”
“No! Harry...”
Before I could stop him, though, he’d nipped a cream puff
off the pile and popped it into his mouth. His eyes went wide as he chewed and
swallowed.
“Unbelievable! Give me another...”
“Please, no...!” I grabbed at his arm, but it was too late.
He’d already devoured a second choux.
“Those are supposed to be for Etienne...”
“Come on, you’ve made at least two dozen. He won’t miss one
or two.” Harry made as if to reach
for a third puff. I hung on, trying to restrain him, but he was far stronger
than I. Under that dorky clothing, I felt his muscles tense and shift.
He halted, his fingers inches away from its target, as if
suddenly aware of my touch.
Turning away from the tower of pastries, he gazed down at me. Behind his
glasses, his mocha-coloured eyes gleamed with powerful purpose.
“Harry?” My stomach did a somersault. My cheeks felt as
though they’d just come out of the oven. Meanwhile he held me in that fierce,
all-consuming stare.
My right hand still gripped his left arm, near the shoulder.
He reached out to rest his on my shoulder, as if we were about to dance. “You
know, I actually see something a lot sweeter right here.” He slid his palm down
my back and pulled me to his chest with a decisiveness that sent my pulse into
overdrive. When he leaned in close, I smelled the almonds on his breath.
“Harry...I don’t think...”
“Shh!” He enforced this directive by fastening his mouth on
mine in an energetic kiss.
He tasted, unsurprisingly, of sugar and cream. His firm lips
moulded to mine while his tongue teased at the seam, coaxing me to open. I
shouldn’t have given in, but I honestly couldn’t help it. He might look like a
bit of nerd, but this guy really knew what he was doing. Wet, but not sloppy –
forceful, but not brutal – alternating between deep penetration and playful
flickering – he kissed with consummate sensuality. All I wanted was to swoon in
his arms, to let him take me over.
He seemed eager to oblige.
The hand on my back wandered down to cup my ass and pull my
pelvis against his. I gasped at the size and rigidity of the lump pressed
against my pubis. My nipples snapped into aching knots and moisture flooded my
already damp panties. He laced the fingers of his other hand through my hair,
using them to control the position of my head as he drank his fill of me.
His mouth slipped away from mine to nuzzle below my ear, somehow
finding the precise spot that’s directly connected to my clit. Meanwhile he groped my breasts,
squeezing hard – harder than I usually like, but now I actually wanted more.
Apparently he did, too. He tugged at my blouse, trying to
pull it out from the waistband of my skirt, and finally succeeding. The first
graze of his fingertips along my naked skin sent a wave of arousal crashing
through me.
“Wait – no – aah...oh...” My protests faltered as he deftly
extricated one of my breasts and caught the nipple between his thumb and
forefinger. He tugged on the taut node of flesh, twisted it, flicked it back
and forth. I swear I felt him doing the same to my clit. At the same time, he
caught my earlobe between his teeth, worrying it like a pup with a toy.
Oh God! He was all over me, fondling and caressing whatever
flesh he could access through my dishevelled clothing – and it was glorious!
Crumpling my skirt to the waist, he worked his clever fingers under the elastic
of my panties to stroke my soaked fur. I jerked against his palm, wanting him
to explore more deeply. He appeared happy to oblige, pushing into my channel
with his fingers while strumming my clit with his thumb. I wormed my way into his loose trousers and
clung to his cotton-covered ass, feeling his gluts flex as he ground his
astonishing hardness against my belly.
I’d never doubt my grandmother again.
X-Rated Excerpt 2 – From Extra Chapter!
The road dead-ended in a parking lot, empty save for our
vehicle. He helped me out of the car and walked me over to the iron railing
guarding the overlook. The night was crystal clear. Not a wisp of fog obscured
the twinkling majesty of the City by the Bay.
I grasped the balustrade, a bit nervous about the sheer drop
on the other side. Standing behind me, Harry rubbed his rigid penis against my
butt. Meanwhile, his hands snaked around to clasp and knead my breasts. “See
what I mean?” he murmured in my ear, twisting my nipples at the same time.
“It’s—uh—it’s beautiful, Harry. But I don’t think…”
“Don’t think, Em. Just trust me.” He continued to fondle my
tits with one hand, while sliding the other down over my belly to poke between
my thighs. “I’ll bet you’re wet.” He probed through the jersey of my dress,
finding my clit with his usual skill. “Yup, I was right. You love a bit of
danger.”
“No, not really—ah!” He rocked my bead like a switch,
sending spurts of electricity through my limbs. “Oh, God, Harry, we can’t do
this here!”
“Why not? You let me fuck you on the studio floor the day
after we met.”
“I— Oh, Harry, please…that was different…”
He had my skirt flipped up in back now, and my panties down
around my knees. One hand had lodged inside the front of my dress, where he
continued to squeeze my engorged breast. Meanwhile, he explored my wet crevice
with nimble fingers, thrusting into my pussy, sliding over my lower lips, then
making slick circles around my clit.
The smooth head of his bare cock bobbed against the backs of
my thighs. How had he managed to get it out of his trousers while still teasing
me this way? I reached behind me, wanting to grasp that lovely hardness and
share some of my pleasure.
“No!” He caught my hand in a sticky grip and returned it to
the iron pipe. “Don’t let go of the rail. Or do I have to tie you there?”
Lightning shot through me. I thought for a moment I’d faint
and topple over into the abyss.
“Tie me?” Craning my neck, I tried to read his expression.
Was he serious? The shadows made it impossible to tell.
