A guy who knows and admires a girl without yet having an opportunity to get intimate has a problem. It's the same if roles are reversed. How do you show that your interest includes the erotic without scaring the other person off by being too aggressive? Our restaurant helped Cupid along that way by giving a couple who came there on a date an environment rich in opportunities for double meanings and plenty of erotic subtext. What a date ordered from our dessert menu could speak volumes, and how it was eaten or shared between a couple. Clarissa's desserts were delicious--that made a fine excuse. They were also damn sexy and suggestive.
I had a similar problem with Clarissa. We had a professional relationship that was warm and productive. I had my personal rule about not hitting on employees, and losing my pastry chef would have been a disaster for the restaurant. The truth is I lusted for her and dreamed of her body but could not see a way to learn if she had any erotic interest in me without risking disaster for my business. Maybe, I thought, that exploratory visit by the scouts from an erotic club for the super-wealthy could lead to a work date for Clarissa and me. Maybe working in someone else's kitchen would loosen constraints and let us see each other as more than boss and employee.
When an offer did come, there was no difficulty persuading me to accept. We would be guest chefs at the club for an erotic dinner party for 12 couples. There was a generous budget, and we would be very well paid. They wanted Clarissa for the desserts, and I would be responsible for the main course. Clarissa seemed to know a great deal more about the requirements of the job than I did, so I resolved to let her direct me.
We had to plan a menu. We could let the regular club staff do appetizers and drinks. They suggested oysters of two varieties, marine and mountain, for appetizers, and that was fine with us. We agreed her well-tested recipes for "Clarissa's Breasts" and Clarissa's Pussy" were just right for dessert at an event of that kind. We made a list of all the ingredients and tools that she would need in the club kitchen, such as the special silicone molds. A thought occurred to me. Where did you get the molds?
She looked at me, then without a word, she took hold of the bottom of her shirt and lifted it up over her head. "I made them myself," she said. She held the pose long enough for me to see the copies of her tits that she produced using the molds had size, shape, and color exactly right. I didn't dare test texture or taste, but I sure wanted to. The shirt came back down. "It's the same as making a mold from a clay model. I learned in sculpture classes. I was just a model there, but the artists liked to show me their workshops." That would have been nude modeling, I was sure, and no wonder the sculptors were friendly.
I was silent a moment, thinking. "And?" I said, looking at a tray of her pastry pussies.
"Yes, that too," she said. "But I'm not going to show you. We have work to do."
The main course was my job, but Clarissa was eager to help. "Shall we start with lobsters?" she said. "The tail is suggestive of a healthy male penis in shape, color, and texture. We'll cook and peel them just before serving. They'll need testicles; a pair of potato croquettes will do nicely, and red caviar for a tip."
"Do you need molds?" I asked, intensely curious what her response might be.
"It's sweet of you to offer," she said, "but no. For the dessert, we have high realism. The main course should be more abstract and symbolic. We'll use the lobster's body and claws too, symbolic of male bravado and power. Making a realistic penis coming out of a lobster shell would be gross. But if we set croquettes to the sides and a little pyramid of red caviar where we take the tail fin off, I think people will get the idea.
"Then there should be a steak too, because why not? Lord Lobster, with his suggestively shaped tail, would preside over a thick, sizzling mound of beef, hot from the grill. We decided to add a triangle of dark sautéed mushrooms, suggestive of a woman's pubic triangle, and cut a slit exposing a pink and juicy interior where the mushroom triangle directed. We would arrange a seaweed salad around the edge of the platter and maybe other side items the pampered guests would request.
There were a million other details, most of which I let Clarissa work out with John, the event manager at the club. He was headwaiter, ringmaster, and master of ceremonies all in one. Their kitchen was large and well-staffed. Everything seemed thoroughly organized and highly professional.
On the night of the party, John had a lot to orchestrate, and I had to keep focused on my part of things at least until the main course platters went out. I had seen the dining room, of course, which was decorated to allow a theatrical entrance from the kitchen. Draperies and cushions gave each table a little space for privacy without blocking a view of the full scene. There was nothing openly pornographic, but everything was sensual and inviting.
John had made another request, that we be prepared should there be any last-minute requests from patrons to decorate a particular serving with jewelry. Three of my lobsters went out with a slender gold chain and a sparkling gem of one sort or another dangling between the lobster's claws. Similarly, a few of the oysters hid genuine pearls. I think those were surprise gifts from "the house.". The waiters would have little jewelry boxes available for a guest who discovered a little memento for the evening in her appetizer. I was too busy tending to last-minute details to watch the couples being seated.
John wore a bosun's whistle on a chain around his neck. I looked up when I heard it blow. Six waiters dressed as sailors paraded out of the kitchen, each pair pushing a cart stacked with appetizers. They were all fit and muscular. Each wore a hat with black ribbons like those worn by British seamen in the days of sail and a pair of white canvas trousers. Shirtless and barefoot, they looked fabulous. A private club like that didn't have to worry about health department rules.
I had to return my attention to the preparation of the main course, and when the platters were ready, I saw that in addition to the lusty sailor-waiters, there were six mermaid-waitresses who had been selected just as carefully for physical perfection.
All that the girls wore was two translucent veils, one in front and one in back, running from slender bands low on their hips almost to the floor. The thin fabric had a metallic sheen so that it shimmered and floated around their legs, with several inches of bare leg showing on each side, and of course their entire upper body. The mermaids collected their platters, and again at the call of John's whistle, paraded out to deliver them to the tables.
