Bethany's POV
I woke up to the smell of bacon. MMMM I love bacon. I slip out of the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and put my pjs on opening the door and making my way towards the smell. I enter the kitchen to a half-naked Jason standing at the stove cooking.
"Good Morning sleepy head." He said glancing over his shoulder at me flashing me a panty dropping smile. "I let you sleep in. It's nine already."
"What! We have to get to work. You have meetings Mr. Walker." I fussed as I started to go get dressed.
"Bethany, stop come back here." He said and his tone made me stop in my tracks and walk back into the kitchen. "It's ok. Remember I'm the boss." He said with a grin on his handsome face. "Besides I already rearranged all my meetings."
"Why would you do that?" I asked him as he put the yummy smelling food on two plates motioning for me to sit at the table. Sitting down I take a deep breath enjoying the smell of bacon. Did I mention I love bacon?
"Well, I had some very important things to take care of this morning. The men are already at your apartment fixing your door." I can't believe he has already got that done and rearranged his meetings. "I feel really bad about last night. Well actually the last two nights. I figured you could use the sleep since I keep you up so late the first night." I nodded and started eating. He really did owe me sleep and I do feel much better since I got some. I grinned at him and he grinned back. Why does he have to be so delicious looking and come to think of it he smells edible too. Bethany you idiot stop it he is a player. You can't fall for a player. I put my head down and continue eating. I feel him watching me.

"What? Is there something on my face?" I ask since he is staring at me.
"No, I was just admiring your beauty Bethany." Damn it there goes my face. My blush creeps up my face. Yup he is a player and damn he is good. No wonder he has a great sex life. I quickly finish my breakfast and take my plate to the sink washing it.
"Can I take a quick shower Mr. Walker?" I ask biting my lip feeling really nervous. I watch as he walks over to me placing his plate in the sink then places his arms on either side of me caging me in-between him and the counter. My body involuntarily shutters from his close proximity. What the hell is happening to me. He bends his head down and places his head in the crook of my neck inhaling deeply before standing back up and staring into my eyes.
"Bethany, you can do whatever you like." He whispers as his eyes fall down to my lips then back up into my eyes as he licks his lip. I want to lick his lip. Wait! What? I can't do that. He's my boss. He leans closer to me our lips inches from each other's. His breath fanning my face. All I would have to do is lean just a little forward and I could taste his ruby red lips. "I mean it Bethany; you can do anything." Shit, I have to get out of this room. I slip out from his grasp and head into the bedroom to get my clothes. I hear him following me. "Bethany, listen I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He apologized as he stood in the bedroom door running his hand through his hair. "The bathroom is through that door. There are fresh towels in the cabinet under the sink. I'll let you get to it." He backed out of the door pulling it closed. Holy Hell what was that? I have never felt like this. It's like my body is calling to his. I shake my head and hurry into the bathroom closing and locking the door before stripping and taking out a towel. I turn on the water adjusting the temperature before stepping in and relaxing into the hot water. My body is humming with sexual need, but I refuse to pleasure myself in my boss's shower. I'll just wait until I'm back in my apartment. I wash my hair and body enjoying the warmth of the water. After twenty minutes I decide it's time to get out and get dressed. I wonder if Mr. Walker wants to go to work today at all. After drying myself and getting dressed I make my way out of the bathroom. I walk over to my bag placing my pjs in and notice a note on the edge of the bed. I pick it up and read.

"Bethany, I had to go out for a little while. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. Your door has been fixed and I left the new key to your apartment on the kitchen table. If you aren't here when I get back, I'll stop by and check on you. Don't worry about work today. Remember I'm the boss. With Love, Jason." I feel disappointment that he isn't here, but I'm happy my door is fixed. I gather all my stuff and walk into the kitchen collecting my key. I step outside and close the door making sure it locked then open my new door. Thank God everything looks to be in place nothing out of order at least in the living room and kitchen. I head into the bedroom and gasp. My t.v that was smashed on the floor has been cleaned up and on the table is a new much bigger t.v. along with a note. "So sorry about your t.v. I hope this makes up for it. With Love, Jason." I didn't expect him to get me a new t.v let alone a much bigger one. Damn it! He is a fucking player why do I have to have these feelings for him? Why is he being so nice to me? I grab the remote and hop into the bed flicking on the t.v. Wow! I can see it so much better. I find a good murder mystery and start watching, waiting on Jason to stop by and check on me.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
8 185The Life Between Worlds - Prologue
"Kene comes first." Nephern and Sterthen, previously the first and second captains of the Sun Guard, were exiled. Banished to the edges of the empire that they used to call home. There, just outside of the city of Anghelen and on the edges of the Helefiran - the dark forest - they lived in relative peace, raising their daughter Kene. Nearly a decade has passed, and the "dark forest" hardly lived up to its name. For the two elite soldiers, the creatures that occasionally wandered out of it were barely a nuisance. Until now. Faced with a declaration of war from one of the Empire's oldest foes and the emergence of... something else... the two have to fight to hold onto the life that they built in exile. --- --- --- This story is continued here: The Life Between Worlds - VOL I
