It was finally the day of the auction "And now we are presented with a human who looks a little unkempt right now, but with a little care from her owner would be as good as new" the hosts voice rang over the speakers in what seemed like a dungeon used for illegal gambling. But I couldn't look much, being locked in a basement for three months without any form of light coming in, and suddenly being on stage where all attention and the center light was on me was enough to just make me shut my eyes and wait for what was to come. "We'll start with $25,000" is that really my worth. Do I really amount to nothing, that I have to be sold at an auction. "$26,000" "$26,500" "$30,000" "$30,000, is there anyone who wants to bid higher? Going once, going twice... This went in for a few more minutes and I gave up hope. This was it, this is where my life journey ends. I will get sold here then if my buyer is an organ trafficker he would probably kill me and sell off my organs. "Five hundred million dollars" a deep manly voice grunted from the corner of the room "Wow that's a very high bid...I doubt if anyone is willing to go higher than that. Going once, going twice, sold. Congratulations Mr Jimmie Hendrix, you just won yourself a hot looking toy...everyone is left to wonder what you will be doing with her tonight." Jimmie who was sitting in a dark corner of the room gave a sinister smirk and uttered under his breath "Found you!!!"

— „Zieh etwas an, das ich dir leicht ausziehen kann. Man weiß ja nie.“ Die Nachricht lässt mir die Hitze ins Gesicht steigen. Mit zitternden Fingern tippe ich meine Antwort: „Mal sehen.“ Alles begann mit einem Geruch. Rosmarin, brutzelnde Butter und etwas Süßes, das durch mein Fenster in diese neue Pariser Wohnung drang. Ich hatte gerade Thomas verlassen, ein Kapitel nach vier lauwarmen, behaglichen Jahren geschlossen. Ich suchte einen Neuanfang. Ich hätte nicht erwartet, die Besessenheit zu finden. Matthieu Beaumont. Drei-Sterne-Koch. Schön wie eine Sünde. Intensiv wie ein Brand. Unsere Geschichte begann mit einer geteilten Mahlzeit und einem Blick durch einen Innenhof. Sie explodierte in einer alles verschlingenden Leidenschaft, die mich schneller verzehrte, als ich es für möglich gehalten hätte. — „Schmeck das“, flüstert er und hält mir eine Gabel hin, seine dunklen Augen weichen nicht von meinen. „Und schließ dabei die Augen.“ Das Stöhnen, das mir entgleitet, lässt ihn dieses raubtierhafte Lächeln zeigen, das mir Angst machen sollte – stattdessen aber ein Feuer in meinem Unterleib entfacht. — „Dieser Laut“, sagt er mit heiserer Stimme. „Den will ich dir immer wieder entlocken. Aber nicht wegen Essen.“ Drei Tage. Ich brauchte drei Tage, um mich in einen Mann zu verlieben, den ich kaum kannte. Und dann zerbrach alles. Eine manipulative Ex namens Anaïs. Ein Verrat in einem Büro. Ein Geheimnis, das uns beinahe zerstört hätte. Ich hätte gehen sollen. Fliehen vor diesem Mann, der mir das Herz gebrochen hatte. Aber die Liebe folgt keiner Vernunft. Sie ist unordentlich, kompliziert, unvollkommen. Ich entschied mich zu bleiben. Zu kämpfen. Unsere Geschichte Stück für Stück wieder aufzubauen. Es ist die Geschichte eines Kochs, der kocht, wie er liebt: mit einer Intensität, die dich keuchend zurücklässt und nach mehr verlangen. Das ist unsere Geschichte. Unverblümt. Ehrlich. Gewürzt.

My girlfriend, Clara Sutton, had severe mysophobia. Before every intimate moment we shared, she required me to disinfect myself thoroughly in advance. She even set strict rules about how often we could kiss or sleep together, and how long it could last. Without her permission, I was not allowed to touch her. I had always believed she treated everyone this way. I even secretly felt relieved, thinking that I must have been somewhat special to her. Then came that night at the bar. During a party, her childhood friend, Ethan Ford, drew a dare in a game of truth or dare. Then, in front of everyone, he leaned in and kissed Clara. Although it was supposedly a punishment for losing, they kissed deeply for a full five minutes. Our friends laughed and jostled one another as they turned to look at me. Only then did I realize that Clara’s obsession with cleanliness had never been a universal rule. It had existed simply because she did not like me. Disheartened, I asked for a breakup. But Clara soon regretted it. With reddened eyes, she begged me not to leave.
