All he wanted desperately was to taste Lucas’s lips again. He was already too close, his breath warm against Lucas’s face as he murmured, low and urgent, “My Lucas… I’m craving to taste your lips again.”

The words barely left his mouth before reality struck. Just as he leaned in, instinct overrode desire. With visible effort, he stopped himself. His body protested, his heart pounding hard, but he managed and pulled back as a shaky breath slipped out. “Oh dear, Lucas” he whispered, almost to

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 59. Bitter truth

    As Lucas turned and walked away, Alex’s fingers were already moving as he went to his office. “Please, let me take you home.”He stared at the screen the moment the message was sent. His chest tightened because he already knew what the answer would be. Knowing Lucas had been pulling back but still, he waited with slim hope. Seconds stretched but no reply came in. Restless, Alex pushed back his chair and hurried out of the office, hope flickering stubbornly in his chest. The instant he stepped outside, his phone buzzed. It was Lucas’s reply, “No need, please stay off me.” The words landed heavier than they should have. Alex exhaled slowly, his shoulders sagged and it hurt. But he knew that at least Lucas would be home safe. That thought was the only thing keeping him upright. He turned back inside and returned to his office, forcing himself into the chair and pulling a file closer. He wanted to do some paperwork to quiet his mind. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Eve

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 58. Sharpened interest

    As the staff started cleaning up, Zenith had left the kitchen for the locker room. But suddenly changed his mind, he didn't want to miss any detail of Alex and Lucas's show. Then again the way Lucas shut him down showed that he was pissed about something. It sharpened Zenith's interest the more. So he needed to find out what it was and use that opportunity to his advantage. Suddenly a smile curled up his lips as he recalled what had happened earlier.*** It was almost evening already, when they were dealing with a late rush. The kitchen was buzzing, orders piling up, voices overlapping, heat rising. It was the perfect time. Zenith waited until Alex was pulled away into a brief talk. Lucas was beside the walk-in fridge. Zenith grabbed the opportunity immediately. “Lucas,” Zenith said smoothly, appearing beside him at the walk-in fridge. “I need your help inside, now.” It wasn’t a request. Lucas hesitated only a second before nodding. Saying no outright would raise que

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 57. Lucas’s resolved

    Either way, Alex knew one thing for certain. The damage wouldn’t be small. That night, none of them could sleep well. The next day at work, Lucas became a shadow of himself.He arrived early, kept his head down, and buried himself in tasks that didn’t require conversation. Every time Alex got close to Lucas’s station, Lucas found a reason to keep his distance. If Alex turned toward him, Lucas turned away. Short answers replaced smiles. Distance replaced warmth.Alex noticed immediately. It was subtle—but Alex knew Lucas too well already not to feel it. The easy closeness from the night before was gone, replaced by something sharp and deliberate…avoidance. “Lucas,” Alex called softly when he intentionally passed by the prep station. “I need to finish this,” Lucas replied without looking up, hands moving faster than necessary.Alex hesitated, then stepped closer. “Did I do something wrong…” “I’m busy, Alex,” Lucas cut in, voice polite but firm. It was too

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 56. Alex’s fear

    Lucas managed and responded, “He is not bad. He is a cute man.” “Exactly, he is so gorgeous and breathtaking. I called him a while ago, but he was busy. I hope he calls me back.” Lucas felt jealousy grip him. “Nat, maybe you should forget about…” “Talking to him?” Nathan cut in.“Come on Luc, you don't understand how I feel about him. Trust me if you're into guys, you will eye him. Everything about him is awesome. I don't even know if I'm obsessed with him because I still miss him a lot and I wanted to try to win him over. What do you think, Luc?” “Nat, I don't know what to think right now,” Lucas muttered, his heart aching. Nathan chortled at that. “Don't worry, okay. I will just try. If I fail, I will cry on your shoulder. And Lucas?” “Yes?” “I meant it,” Nathan said sincerely. “For your new job, put in your best, try one of your new recipes. Serve him to taste, my Alex likes getting practical. Take care of yourself, okay.” “Thank you, Nat,” Lucas replied s

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 55. Unexpected truth

    He felt uncomfortable about the fact that Lucas and Nathan knew each other. His countenance changed on seeing Nathan’s name but he covered it up immediately, dropping the phone back without answering the call. Then he turned back to Lucas with a light smile. “Maybe in the future we’ll get practical together,” he added quickly, lips curving into a teasing smile. “Or even compete over who can create a better recipe. I believe I can win you over.” “Hm. Don’t be so sure about that,” Lucas shot back, scrunching his face into an exaggerated, playful glare. They burst into laughter, the sound easy and unguarded, filling the small space between them. The conversation drifted on with short stories, jokes, light confessions, but carefully avoiding anything too deep. It was just enough to feel close but not enough to feel dangerous. Later, the car slowed at Lucas’s stop. “What about your friend, Nathan?” Alex asked out of curiosity, though his eyes flicked toward Lucas. “Is he around

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 54. Untold secret

    Alex’s hand slid to Lucas’s back, holding him closer as if he had been waiting forever for the moment. Lucas let himself sink into it, eyes closed, the world narrowing down to the feel of Alex’s lips, and the steady rhythm of his breathing. For a brief, fragile moment, everything else…his father, the threat, his secret…all faded away.The only thing that mattered was them standing there engrossed in their affection. After they pulled away they stayed like that for a while, staring at each other, no words, heart thudding with unexplainable emotion. Alex’s arms were around Lucas, loose but certain, as if he were afraid that tightening them might break the moment. Lucas moved resting his head against Alex’s shoulder, breathing slowly for the first time in what felt like hours. The world had gone quiet, but it felt warm and safe. Alex pressed a light kiss to Lucas’s hair, then another to his temple, nothing demanding, just presence. Lucas closed his eyes, letting it linger, le
