Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 23
Lilith came back after an hour and brought the necessary items to the kitchen and tried to prepare it but her mother came out from nowhere to lash out at her.
"Get out of the kitchen! I asked him to prepare it and not you; stop acting as if you've been doing anything in this house."
"But mum, what do you mean? I can cook too!" Lilith glared at her mum, feeling embarrassed that she would say such a degrading word to her in the presence of Xenon.
"Leave that place immediately, let him do his job!" Xenon scoffed at her words and ignored her. He didn't even know why he was doing all of this but he would leave once he was done. He would get her account number and transfer the amount of money his grandmother owed her for medications.
She stared at him with a sneer, irritated at the fact that her step-sister's son was too beautiful, too graceful with every move even though he had nothing.
She had cut ties with her family when she discovered that her mother was the only one without any supernatural abilities. She was married as a human into the Senei family and Xenon's mother, Laurel had always been the shining light of the family which pissed her off.
She felt used and unwanted in the family and hated Michelle with everything in her for being the wife and choice of the king while her little one was just a standby spectator.
Through the help of Draco, her mother planned and caused her death for Abigail to take over her place since the King cherished his daughters and it was successful, killing her and her husband on a journey in a ghastly car accident.
This only made the king mad and sent him with high blood pressure, Michelle was able to tame him down despite the pain but Draco had other means by poisoning him to take over the throne and banishing Michelle from Viscaria.
Now, looking at Xenon right in her house as an excuse to pay for Michelle's debt; She felt so angry and fulfilled. He might not have his powers yet but he would soon have it no matter how tiny it would take. He looked exactly like his mother, taking her eyes and his father taking his facial structure.
He was extremely cute and that pissed her as hell and hoped for Andrea and Alec to kill him as they'd promised.
The duo reached out to her desperately last night, explaining how they needed him terribly or the state would be in Chaos soon with the level of power he possessed. They didn't tell the details of what that meant about bringing chaos aside from making sure he was here while she cunningly dragged him out. Not even her husband was aware and she didn't care, she needed everything that had to do with Laurel and the Senei out of her way completely.
Xenon was going to prepare a Risotto porridge, he was glad that it was a simple dish that wouldn't warrant his powers as he used the broth made from meat, fish, or vegetable used to cook the rice to be savoury and added butter, and cheese, wine, and onions to enrich the flavour.
Maria walked in and gasped in a frown, looking at what he had done so far.
"I'm sorry I came late, you seemed to be fast." She apologised sweetly, taking the apron hanging by the corner of the kitchen, and came to stand near him, such that their skin brushed each other to send sparks through Xenon's body.
"It's okay, we still have a few to do, I'll make the Pasta filling and mozzarella cheese to be laid on a baking sheet and–" He looked around to be sure there was an oven or something to make sure it was well cooked.
"There it is." Maria smiled, pointing at the rusty old oven, kept on top of the cupboard and Xenon sighed.
"Yeah, I need that to bake it too," He told her and she nodded, her dimples sinking in as she wiped the fish and cleared the mess he made while he was preparing the meal.
"So you are a chef?" She asked him and he shook his head.
"Not yet, I'm just an apprentice, " Xenon replied, trying not to look at her. Her cleavage was full on display in the red singlet she wore, she now wore a bonnet but her blonde hair still escaped and fell freely to the sides. Her bum short was another heavy distraction making Xenon lose focus as he imagined how it would feel in his hands.
He knew he was having forbidden thoughts and needed to get the hell out of the place before he dropped his self-esteem and did something nasty about his half-cousin but she was making things difficult for him as she turned fully him.
"Wow, I thought you were because you act like one "
"How?" Xenon chuckled. "This is the first time you're seeing me."
"I know, but I caught you chopping the onions and veggies like an expert, and the aroma of the Risotto is on the edge!"
Xenon gasped.
"Are you okay?" He asked in worry and she frowned.
"How?"
"I mean, are you feeling normal? Hungry, extremely?"
He asked again to be sure, his heart pounded heavily cause If his powers had taken over from him while cooking them he would need to flee cause not only would they crave the food, but the neighbouring community would find their way here.
"I'm hungry, but not extremely. You're acting weird are you okay?" She asked him if he nodded, releasing a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, it's just–" He shut his eyes, not able to explain his reaction as there was no way he would tell her the actual reason.
He froze instantly when she cupped his face and bit her lips.
"It's okay, I know my mum is putting pressure on you but you don't need to act so careful."
She told him, her chest heaving softly with her boobs following her movement and the fact that her legs were almost between his legs made him release a shaky breath.
"Sure I'm fine Maria, let's serve the meal." She smiled and nodded, squeezing her way to have a glimpse of the pot, and brushed her ass at his groin making Xenon gasp as she bent over to open it.
"I think it's ready."
"Ye..yes, I'll get the plates " He stuttered, feeling so uncomfortable. He needs to leave this house!
"No, don't worry. I'll do that instead." She held him still with her hand when he tried to move and brushed her way out again, making Xenon feel the softness of her ass through the fabric she wore and he stifled a curse from his throat.
Fuck! He needed her and this temptation was pushing him to grab her back and pin her on this counter. He wanted to yank those shorts and spank her hard, to see her jiggle and squirm and the thought alone made his dick twitch in his pants.
He was now hard, which was now shameful and he watched her pass a plate and he dished the meal, going over to the living room to present it as they still discussed.
"Maria!" Lilith yelled her sister's name angrily as she stared at Xenon to her sister.
"Lilith, why are you yelling at me huh?"
"Mum is calling you and she says this should be the last time you should be in the Kitchen with him, he's here to work and not to gist around." She fired back irritatedly and Xenon almost rolled his eyes.
"Good thing, I'm about to leave. I can't stand here." He muttered under his breath and Lilith turned to face him.
"My room is next, you haven't arranged it yet and my mum is so pissed about it." She said and Xenon scoffed out in amusement and Maria glared at her in fury.
