A TASTE OF
PLEASURE Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Harlequin Kimani
Dani picked her jaw up from the floor and
froze. She couldn’t believe that Toni was standing in front of her, and that
his first image of her since the wedding was like this—frazzled and sweating.
“Buona sera, Chef. It’s good to see you.”
His voice washed over her and for a second
she’d forgotten that they weren’t the only two people in the room, until one of
the line cooks jolted her out of her head.
“Chef? The mazzancolle?” The young man slid
a plate in front of her and scurried away. She looked down at the bright orange
prawns, then back to Toni.
“What…how…what are you doing here?”
“I could ask you the same.”
Liam clapped his hands and steepled them as
if in prayer. “But we have no time for reunions. Sir, please, my table.”
Toni’s curt nod was followed by a look Dani
interpreted, as “we’re not done.” And by the aggressive way her blood was
pumping through her veins, they weren’t done. Not by a long shot.
Dani turned back to her dish, but her mind
was on the man that was opening the wine locker. How did he have keys to
Marcello’s wine locker? More images of the two of them in Brazil had her
sending out the dish with the server, then calling it back when she forgot the
sprig of parsley. She needed to get it together. On a deep inhale she focused
on the spices in the air again. Oregano, red pepper, sultry musk…huh?
Dani whipped around and there was Toni
leaning against the stainless steel counter, his arms and ankles lightly
crossed, smiling. He looked gorgeous, maybe a little leaner than she saw him
last, but his facial hair was perfectly trimmed, his navy suit over the white
T-shirt was impeccable, and his sandy-blond hair was just the right kind of
messy.
Liam was shouting a thank-you to the
heavens and waving around bottles of Lafite.
She wanted to go to the bathroom and
freshen up. She wanted to kiss that smile right off his face.
“How is this possible?” he said, his gaze
roaming down her front, then behind her to the entrées at her back.
“You tell me. How do you have keys to
Marcello’s locker?”
“We own this restaurant. How are you
standing here cooking for my guests?”
“I came to visit Marcello. What do you mean
we own? This is Marcello’s.”
“And his family’s. I am his nephew. How do
you know him?”
“I used to be his sous-chef.”
Toni jumped up. “Here? When?”
“It’s been eight years now.”
“I was in London at school then.” Toni’s
eyes narrowed. “How did this never come up at the wedding?”
Dani’s eyes darted around the room before
she spoke.
“We didn’t do much talking.”
His wicked smile took Dani’s breath away.
“No, I guess we didn’t.” He shook his head. “I can’t believe you are the one
saving our asses.”
