"I'm really not that good." I said quickly, flushing bashfully. "I'm just average in that department."
"Nonsense Ava. Soul's kitchen has been looking for a baker for quite a while." She said eagerly. "Our former baker went backpacking with his mate so we are short of hands. Would you mind helping out here and of course, you will be payed dearly."
The look on Freya's face was so hopeful that I didn't have the heart so say no.
And I missed working part-time at Alfredo's.
The pay, tips and customers were great, but it helped me take a little break from school works and my overflowing thoughts.
I looked around the warm and cosy eatery. Its happy and welcoming atmosphere. I loved a place that housed warmth and didn't mind working there.
I smiled at Freya and Gus' hopeful faces before nodding. "Sure I will."

Aiden's hand was warm as he led me into the house once we returned from Soul Kitchen. You could hear the loud and furious beat of my heart. It filled my ears like a loud drum as his touch invaded my senses. The heat of his touch spread all over my body from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I had never felt anything like it before. It was like he took a torch and lit my whole body on fire. My body was hot and soft and very much in need of special kind of attention. It didn't help that his hand has not left my body since we walked out of Soul Kitchen. For reasons only known to us, we had left Soul Kitchen right before Freya was about to serve Aiden his very favorite dish. It was like telepathy, the way we'd just stood up in sync. Aiden's hunger for food forgotten. Or was it something else? I was sure he could feel the things I was feeling at the moment. The instant pull and overwhelming liquid fire. He had said it himself. And

It felt like I was drowning in the force that was him. In the inebriating and sweet taste of him. The scent of his skin, wrapping me in a flurry of sense heightening bliss and in the pillow softness of his lips. It was ethereal, aeriform and too invigorating to be true. I had never felt anything like it. I felt heat pool at my core, making it ache with a sweet desire for more contact. The liquid fire settled there, craving for something so forbidden yet irresistibly good. Instinctively, my hands wrapped around his neck as a pleasurable moan I didn't know I could make left my lips. His hot and soft lips felt like velvety bliss against mine. When Aiden's teeth tugged at my bottom lips, willingly and without restraint, I opened to him and his tongue swept in like a wave on a seashore, exploring every corner of my mouth with a desperate need that drove me crazy and all I could do was tug at his silky soft hair, pulling him closer and closer, willing him to

I could feel his full straining member against his jeans. Begging and pleading to break free. Not helping myself, I brushed my tingling palm against it. Its warmness sipping through the hard jeans. And he froze. I gulped, both at the feel of his length and the sharp pleasure that went straight to my core. Aiden stopped his pleasurable assault in an instant. And that left me confused. How could he stop when I'd been so lost, so tucked away into the place he'd taken me to. I tried to catch my breath. "What's the matter?" His intense, dark gaze held mine in a hypnotizing lock as he struggled to hold himself back. "We shouldn't take it this far love." When my face showed confusion, he gestured to his hard, straining member. I followed his gaze and found myself salivating. Its imprint on the jeans, held it captive, so apparent and intimidating. All I thought of was how that would fit. But I had a more important matter. "Why no

Online classes were pretty lonely and boring no matter how strongly I believed it increased one's concentration level.Except it didn't have any need to increase my concentration level because, I had zero to no concentration at the moment. But I'd kept on listening on the lecture for the sake of necessary attendance with a promise to properly catch up on the lectures later.The whole house was quite and probably empty, with Layla going to work so early that I didn't see her leave and Aiden missing breakfast this morning.After Lory had set the table full with fresh brewed coffee and tea, pancakes and oven fresh bread, I had been the only one present at the large dinning room.It felt so lonely and sad that Lory had offered to sit with me while we ate, as I listened to her funny kitchen stories. After breakfast, I had excused myself to go

I was meant to come work at Soul Kitchen in the evening.The way I did my part-time job at Alfredo's and because Freya and I had discussed it.She had asked me how I worked at other places, and since I had important matters like lectures to attend to, she concluded evening shifts were perfect.However, I found myself kneading dough in the spacious but hot kitchen of Soul Kitchen after much persuasion from Freya to wait for my shift.I just wanted to let my mind be as I baked. That always helped me get my mind out of my head several times and hopefully it would work this time too."Dear, are you done?" Freya's voice was a little loud as she stood before me, a green apron around her waist."What?" I asked, like I just snapped back into reality.She smiled. "I asked if you were done Ava." I heard that before

"What the hell!" A scream tore through my lips as I entered my room.Behold, Aiden was sitting on my bed, unmoving at my outburst. He had swapped his usual sweatpants and yoga pants for a tailored dark grey suit and I have to agree that he looked so freaking hot and drool worthy in them.His dark eyes settled on mine for a second before going down, leaving my body hot and very bothered. I cleared my throat at his sudden silence while eyes came back to my face."Hi." I said awkwardly as he continued to stare at me."Um," he cleared his throat. "Your clothes are soiled. What happened to them?"I looked down at my jean short and black shirt and indeed they were soiled with flour since I and Freya had settled on a baking spree. The donuts had been a success, then add the endless order of angel wings bread, it w

The next day was almost same.In the sense that Aiden wasn't present during breakfast and the first half of the morning. But I had seen him around the house and had heard him speaking to Asher severally from my room.It was afternoon and I was already done with my lectures for the day. So as usual, I had nothing to do but idle around. I could not go to Soul Kitchen either, since Freya had been clear on me coming to work only on my designated shift.I was coming down the spiralling stairway when the front door burst open and in came Gus with his wide smile and boyish playfulness.Immediately he saw me, his smile widened in pure joy."Hello! My new favorite person!!" He hollered loudly, walking further into the room."Hi Gus," I grinned cheekily. I have never been so happy to see anyone walk through a door before.H

I looked up and found the teenager who just made her order seconds ago, staring at me with a confused expression gracing her young face.I offered her a smile. "Yes I am. I'm sorry we are taking time but I promise, your order will be here in due time." I rambled out.She smiled cheekily, the act lighting up her face in seconds. "That's not a problem. I don't mind standing here."I nodded. "Oh. Okay."We stayed there in silence, albeit an awkward one."How's my hair?" She blurted out of the blues."Excuse me?"Her smile widened a tad bit. "How is my hair? What do you think about my new hair color?"I raised a brow before taking in her hair which was surprisingly red, a shade brighter than my natural red one."Uh... It's nice?"Her face fell at my answer. I guess she was expecting a different answer."No no, I'm not saying it in a dismissive way." I further rushed. "Your hair is really nic
