Good Roasts For Haters Novels & Stories

“Hopefully, he won’t be vicious enough to drag your brothers into it.” Elvis’s icy blue, worried eyes finally met mine. We both knew exactly how heartless his father could be. His lips pressed tight as he cast his head downward, saying nothing. The chefs arrived then, carrying steaming plates on silver platters, the aroma weaving through the room. Vadim’s crew set down the main dish—Zhazhda krovy—a steak sculpted into the shape of a beating human heart, its surface deliberately undercooked, juices still dark and shiny. Exactly the way Elvis hated it.

I hated pot roast. But Alaric loved it so I used to make it once every week to please him. I pushed down the rage in me and forced a smile at both of them. "How thoughtful,” I hung my jacket on the back of my chair and took a seat. "Though actually, my favorite is the salmon with dill sauce. But this looks lovely." Seraphina's smile faltered, "Oh. I thought Alaric said…" "He must have been thinking of his favorite," I spat as I served myself a small portion. "An honest mistake."

Tyler said. "For real bro?" Liam asked again to confirm. "Shut up!"Tyler called the waitress and ordered a drink. "It's so better here. My house now irritate me." "Really,all because of a girl?" Liam asked while checking out a girl in a pencil jeans and sleeveless top. "Yes. She has this annoying aura. Whenever I see her I get pissed immediately. Tyler explained. "I once read a book. it says you fall in love with the person you hate the most." Liam said.

The full moon is 4 days away and I don’t plan on hiding from the pull of the bond this time around. I’m not the best cook, but I can do a few things well. I’m good on a grill, so I have a couple of ribeyes cooking on my charcoal grill. I love the flavor that coats a steak when it’s cooked over charcoal versus a gas grill. I made some roasted potatoes with rosemary and garlic for our side dish. I didn’t think to get wine, I only have whiskey; I hope she likes that. I facepalm myself at my lack of planning.

in response and continued drinking the coffee. What the heck does hmph mean? I placed the plate in front of him and waited for him to try it. His piercing blue eyes slid up to me, down to the plate, and back up to me. The silence made me squirm, but thankfully he put me out of my misery moments later. He picked up a knife and poked at the steak and sighed. “I prefer my meat on the rarer side. You know this, Imani. I don’t even have to cut this steak to know it’s beyond well done—cremated more like it. And the toast? Do you like eating black toast?”

He warned. “Screw you, Danny! You have always been an enemy of mine, I’m fucking used to it. Just do me a favor, will you? Get your thugs to stand down. I don’t fucking care how you are going to do it, but Rosalie is off-limits to you and your crew of hypocrites. Harm one hair on her head, and you’ll have me to contend with. I would fucking destroy you! Now get the hell out of my sight! You disgust me!”

“If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, but it had to be something you hated as a child, what would it be?” I laughed, the sound bright in the quiet room. “Brussels sprouts. My mother used to boil them until they were grey mush. I hated them with a passion. But now? Roast them with a bit of balsamic and bacon, and I am yours forever.” Killian chuckled, a deep, rumbling sound that I felt in my own chest. “Noted. I will inform the chef that bacon is the key to your loyalty.” “Your turn,” I said, poking his knee. “What is the most ridiculous thing you have ever bought just because you were bored?”

But I would let her do the talking. "Care to tell me what's this all about? Not that I'm trying to criticize you but it's unfamiliar to my eyes." Hilary gave me a timid smile. She bit her lip and rubbed her neck in coyness. "Umm, it's charred steak and broccolini with cheese sauce." "Oooh, sounds rich," I chuckled and then cut a strip of steak. "And it's medium-rare." Hilary laughed as she watched me in anticipation. "To be safe. You like it medium-rare, right?"

"So much for professionalism. Is this relevant?" Part of me is indignant. Part of me is still scared shitless But a part of me is doubled over laughing, my fear dissolving. I settle for keeping face and voice dead-pan. "Absolutely it's relevant. I make very good roast potatoes. Besides, it wasn't thyme. It was rosemary. And I always use a lot of garlic on a Friday when none of us is working the following day." "Twenty fucking years of waiting and looking for the woman, and another year inside, and this is what I have to deal with..."
