IN THIS CHAPTER - Now nearing her mid-20s, Lilly's love of making cuisine has meant a move to Europe where she starts her own business. Although surprised by what she's made to wear, Lilly is excited by the money she will earn when hired by a new client. A love interest brings Lilly breakfast and enjoys the sight of her pussy. Sebastian's expertise at cunnilingus starts Lilly's morning off on the right foot.

Lilly's eyes blinked open when she heard the knock at the door. She stretched and gazed at the cracked plaster over her bed. The drabness of her apartment was mildly depressing but then she giggled and kicked the blankets off. It was going to be a great day because the break she'd been waiting for had finally come through.
It took every last cent she had to get her catering business up and running and tonight was her chance to make a big impression on some very influential people. Lilly's Catering and Event Specialists had been contracted to supply twelve elegant meals for a small dinner party at Rebecca Tallenger's home in the hills overlooking Lake Lucerne, Switzerland.
Disappointing was the call last night from the only part-time employee she had. The young woman (also a student at the same culinary school Lilly had previously attended), was unavailable this evening. It was her boyfriend's birthday and they had plans.
But then she reasoned that serving twelve people wouldn't be a stretch. She had waited tables when she lived in Palo Alto, California, and in Lucerne; sometimes playing hostess to over twenty people at a time. While in school, as a senior she headed up one of its kitchens, which served a small, functioning restaurant that was open to the public. It had been a grind but she'd learned how to manage juggling multiple balls at a time.
She had also learned she didn't want to work in restaurants. The fast pace was exciting at first, and the beautiful choreography of a well-run kitchen humming flawlessly for hours was intoxicating. But she realized she'd never be able to keep up that pace for an entire career. The dream of becoming a celebrity chef and owning multiple restaurants was what led many to culinary school. For Lilly, it was the love of preparing good food and bringing some joy to the people she fed. She was a people pleaser at heart and it was easier and more gratifying to make a few people happy rather than an entire restaurant of customers and staff on the front end, along with vendors, accountants, and suppliers on the back.
Living extravagantly wasn't a huge priority, so saving wasn't a tremendous challenge. Although she did - eventually - want to earn a decent living, she was keenly aware that it took a ton of hard work to succeed and she was willing to invest in her fledgling business and herself to make it happen.
The rent for her very old, very tiny studio and first-floor kitchen was low because it was very old and very tiny. It was in what TV home shows called a 'Transitional' neighborhood. She wasn't sure which way the neighborhood was transitioning toward, but she kept her doors locked and her head on a swivel and, in general, felt safe enough.
She also made friends with her food. It took time and skilled labor to turn the first floor into a professional workspace and as the remodel unfolded, neighbors would stop by to see what was happening. She would bake cookies or have hot nibbles available and would sit for a cup of tea as a way of ingratiating herself. It paid off because she found cheap labor through the neighbors; a mother offering her contractor son up, a plumber recommending an electrician, or the kitchen supplies rep who knew a tile setter. Before long, the kitchen was complete and because she'd been making food for so many locals, when she did finally open for business, she didn't have to wait long before gigs started coming in.
It was small stuff, which was fine. Birthdays, wakes, parties, anniversaries, religious holidays that warranted family gatherings. Nothing too large and all manageable. It was humble food for humble, hard-working people. But people know other people and word gets around. When the offer came through her website to work for Rebecca Tallenger, Lilly was overjoyed and quickly accepted the assignment.
Switzerland attracted money because of its friendly banking laws and there were names those less wealthy heard about. Rebecca Tallenger was one of them, although Lilly couldn't recall ever meeting or seeing the woman. Through Lilly's contact page on her business website came a very short note: I am interested in what you have to offer. RT.
That was it. Things went from there through the client's attorney.
The knock came again, this time with more insistence. As she pulled back the covers, Lilly determined she would get to her shop later this morning (just 15 steps downstairs) and prep everything in advance. Then, closer to departure, she would fire up and get to work. Meals would then be stashed in a hotbox and secured in the beat-up catering van she'd purchased at a storage facility auction.
Lilly used the door as a partial blind to collect the package from the courier. Her outfit had arrived in a lovely white box ensnared in a pink silk ribbon and she knew it would fit her unique proportions perfectly. The client had required Lilly provide her 26-22-26 measurements before the esquire would send the 30-page document by email. When the knock came at the door, her computer dinged a moment later.
The delivery guy hardly noticed her nakedness as she signed for the package. She preferred to be nude when at home and since it wasn't even 7 AM, she was still hours away from being dressed for the day. She appreciated that Europeans were far less uptight than Americans when it came to nudity.
