Perfection isn’t everything, although it’s everything Leo wants. His desire to become the perfect chef may keep him at the top of his class, but it drives his friends and family crazy while keeping love and passion on the back burner.<br><br>Then Leo meets Dock, owner and chef of the new and popular restaurant, The Birches.<br><br>Although Dock isn’t a trained chef, Leo finds the food he cooks delectable and the man behind the food irresistible. The lessons taught at the hands of an untrained cook may be just what this uptight chef needs to let go.

The Birches

“It’s beautiful here,” Leo said as he leaned against the back of the restaurant. He liked being naked outside with the cool breeze touching him seductively. It gave him a delicious chill and the spicy cold heat of the soup was invigorating.


“Yeah, there’s something about it,” Dock said, handing over the loaf of rustic bread he had brought out. Both men drank from the bowls, and Leo ripped a wedge of bread and chewed hungrily at the hearty crust.


“I think it’s you,” Leo said after he had swallowed the bread. “I think you are the reason this place is so…” He looked around again until his eyes rested on Dock’s naked body, but he couldn’t finish his thought.


Dock laughed and shook his head; Leo watched as he drank lustily from his bowl.


“I mean it,” Leo said. “I mean, there is something about you.” He felt his cock begin to stir and knew that he wanted a second helping.
