#251-252 | Knives and Seasoning by Winona_Wren

Knives and Seasoning by Winona_Wren

People know him as Kylo Ren, one of the most talented chefs to ever grace the culinary world. He works as the head chef at the Michelin Star restaurant The First Order, which he runs with an iron fist and a fiery temper. Mistakes simply won't be tolerated. It's no secret that if you can't handle the heat, he'll gladly toss you out with the trash.

Rey knows him as Ben. For a very brief time, they went to culinary school together. Back then, he was sweet and helpful and definitely not the second coming of the devil himself. She's recently been hired as his sous chef, but she quickly discovers that things don't run as smoothly as she wants them to. They butt heads more often than they fulfill orders, and screaming matches are their shared language.

Maybe if he'd stop staring at her like that, she'd be able to get this damn order out to tables 10, 28, and 5...

Maybe if she'd stop grazing up against him while he worked, he'd be able to come up with that new menu his demanding patron has been impatiently waiting on...
