I was just talking to a friend about making a basil pesto using truffle macadamia almonds and fresh tulsi, and I suddenly felt unbearably pretentious.

My husband has been a hobby chef for decades, we have a bunch of specialty food stores and international markets that we can afford, and pesto is pretty simple. Is it because it sounds fancy? Is it because I've always been poor yet spent my teens years surrounded by the wealth of The Hamptons and the celebrity pretentious therein? Just make the damn pesto.

Business Idea

How has technology changed your job? *MACADAMIA NUTS FARMING IN KENYA: A HIGHLY PROFITABLE BUSINESS*If you have been keen to follow the agribusiness news and trends in Kenya, you must have noted that macadamia nut farming is one investment channel that informed farmers are putting their money into.The local prices of these nuts have been consistently going up and the international market is also…

Macadamia Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast to 2022-2028

Over the forecast period, 2022-2027, the macadamia market is expected to grow at a 6.8% CAGR.

The COVID-19 pandemic's influence on the Macadamia Market has been negligible. During the worldwide lockdown, macadamia output, demand, and supply chain have remained stable. Thankfully, the global COVID-19 epidemic had little or no influence on South Africa's macadamia industry, as export markets remained open and prices remained high, albeit shipment to China was seriously impacted. Most South African nut producers and processors had implemented severe health and safety procedures to protect their employees and families from becoming infected with the virus.

The market is growing at a faster rate due to the growing importance of healthy eating, which has been boosted further by the pandemic, and consumers are increasingly choosing nuts as a healthy snack option and incorporating them into their daily diets, resulting in long-term healthy growth of the market.

Australia, Hawaii in the United States, Kenya, and South Africa are the world's largest producers of macadamia nuts. According to the Australian Macadamia Association, favourable meteorological conditions with good precipitation in the majority of districts resulted in good production in 2020. In South Africa, however, poor conditions during flowering and early nut development, mature orchards, trimming, and insects and illnesses resulted in a decreased macadamia crop in 2020.

On the consumer front, Global Macadamia Market is gaining traction, with increased demand coming mostly from European countries. The widespread use of processed macadamia in many industrial categories, such as food and beverage and cosmetics and personal care, is also contributing to the global market expansion of these nuts.

Segments of the Macadamia Industry

Macadamia is a genus comprising four tree species native to Australia that belong to the plant family Proteaceae. Macadamia nuts are native to northeastern New South Wales, central and southeastern Queensland, and the Northern Territory.

The Geographical Segmentation of the Macadamia Market (United States, Canada, Guatemala, Germany, Netherlands, China, Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Brazil, South Africa, and Kenya). Production Analysis (Volume), Consumption Analysis (Value and Volume), Export Analysis (Value and Volume), Import Analysis (Value and Volume), and Price Trend Analysis are all included in the report. The study estimates and forecasts the market in terms of value (USD thousand) and volume (metric ton).

Rising commodity demand and a lack of supply in the global market produce disparities in the commodity's demand-supply situation, necessitating investments in the industry and contributions from government organisations, which may act as a growth stimulus for the market's development. The Hawaii Macadamia Nut Association, for example, has conducted research on nutrition management and leaf sampling, integrated pest management, orchard floor, canopy management, micronutrient management, and many other areas. One such effort was on macadamia fertilisation, which included all of the crucial aspects impacting fertilisation, important soils in macadamia nuts, identifying nutritional status, soil analysis, tissue concentration for bearing macadamia nuts, and other factors.

In addition, the Southern African Macadamia Farmers' Association, a South African organisation, worked on projects including Phytophthora control, pruning, other pest control and management, cultivar breeding, and so on in 2019. Additionally, Global Tea's attempt to increase macadamia nut planting in Malawi is supported by a $4 million joint investment announced in 2018 by the International Financial Corporation (IFC) and the Global Agricultural and Food Security Program (GAFSP). IFC is also collaborating with macadamia cooperatives throughout the country to develop their management capabilities, allowing them to better serve and support growers. As a result of all of these activities, production has increased while the quality of the nuts has improved.

The Australian macadamia crop has expanded steadily over the years, owing largely to persistent investment in productivity improvements and more than doubling tree nut exports. Macadamia is an Australian native that is primarily farmed in northern New South Wales and Bundaberg. However, these nuts are also grown in the Northern Rivers. In 2018, increase was noted throughout all growing zones, including relatively newer locations such as Emerald north of Bundaberg and Yamba south of Ballina, which has driven the country's macadamia nut production.

Australian macadamia is the most sought after in the world, with 75 percent of the country's production exported. The Australian Macadamia Society predicted the farm gate value of macadamia output in 2020 to be USD 293 million, based on a five-year average production of around 46 thousand metric tonnes. The market for macadamia nuts is projected to be driven by shifting consumer attitudes towards healthier diets, as well as the growing relevance of macadamia nuts in international markets.

happy valentines!

Surprise! I’m your valentine @lovinmullen! Happy Valentines Day and I hope you enjoy these little headcanons!💖

thank you so much to @swingsetboys for organizing this and generally being amazing!

-After Andi got grounded for the high school party her phone was taken away for a bit. Amber freaked out at first thinking that Andi was mad till Cyrus (lord bless his peace making soul) filled her in on the situation. A letter arrived two days later in Andi’s mailbox, guess who it was from? Amber. It was an explanation to her parents and a was signed with “Sorry if I got you in trouble! Heres my address and keep exploring the world Bambi! There are many more things like that pool in Italy” (Andi has that note in a scrapbook)Thus begins a pen pal relationship, full of not so unrequited crushes, scribbled hearts, holding of hands and eventually after stealing a flannel from each other...a kiss. 

•Cyrus saw it coming from a mile away. No one just decides to go to the Spoon on every single day Amber is working and sit there with hearts popping from her eyes. 

 Andi will call Buffy or Cyrus and gush about a moment that happened. Little does she know that theres group call happening between the Kippen siblings, Marty and TJ are about to knock Amber out “Oh my god Amber if we hear about Andi’s eyes one more time!”. It becomes a cycle of calling. They even drew a diagram of how it would go. 

Andi calls Buffy calls Cyrus in groupcall, then afterwards Cyrus calls TJ who calls Marty who calls Amber to confirm that feelings are present who calls Andi to talk about her annoying brothers. Then everything repeats.

This can repeat for hours but hey it works.

-Ambi becomes official and everyone e x p l o d e s. It was expected but WOAH IT FINALLY HAPPENED? The pining is finally over thank schnitzel

-To celebrate one month Andi made a bracelet for Amber, she was hesitant at first and said “Are you okay with a girlfriendy thing?”. Amber acts chill about it but internally is screaming.

-(They worked out Amber somehow getting Jonahs bracelet a while ago). Andi gets her phone back soon and they are the couple who uses 22 emojis per text but its adorable! 

-In the end when they do the lanterns again Amber doesn’t put anything in hers. When Walker asks why she glances at Andi and shrugs “I already have everything I could wish for”

Bonus: Their first kiss was in a canoe! It flipped over causing them both to get soaking wet. On shore Amber lifted up their towel to block anyone watching right as Andi leaned forward to kiss her her again.

-Marty learned that Buffy moved away and that was the first time he messaged her since their fight, he apologized and said he hoped that she would have a good life in Arizona. 

-She kept him waiting for a few days because she’s still trying to figure out her feelings, friendship or crush?

- “Marty, thanks for apologizing. Can we talk when I visit?” He immediately says yes! 

-Once she comes back they talk. Its has a few embarrassing moments, some sad as well but in the end they both leave, hearts pounding and thoughts occupied with how even if they were friends how it could be different someday. 

Bonus: Marty comes out to Buffy as trans and Buffy comes out to him as bi. They go to parades together and will wear their respective flags with pride! Marty is the one to paint the flags on their cheeks. 

Bonus bonus: Its been almost 5 months since they talked about the crush situation and the FaceTime calls keep getting longer 

Bonus Basketball: Buffy and him play during the off season of basketball, soon Marty joins the guys basketball team. They still play against each other every Saturday morning.

Heres some Hogwarts shenanigans! 

Gryffindor: TJ, Buffy and Leo the Locker Boy

Slytherin: Amber, Reed and Natalie

Hufflepuff: Cyrus, Marty and Iris

Ravenclaw: Jonah and Andi!

The GHC became friends in 1st year, interhouse friendships for the win!

Marty joins the group 3rd year after the Yule Ball, he and Buffy dance so the group adopts him 

Buffy and TJ’s rivalry starts in 2nd year after a fight with who got the Quidditch field, then he insulted her and her skills. Not even a rap apology was going to be enough for him to be admitted into the group. He is Quidditch-Player-Who-Must-Not-Be-Name

TJ lashed out at her because he wanted to be Quidditch Captain but she was the one who got the position

They make up after Cyrus has a Charms class with TJ, the reason? Both agree that Cyrus is a very soft kid and we will protect him at all costs. 

(Buffy suspects more but doesn’t push at the reason why TJ does that little smile when Cyrus figures out a spell)

He writes an apology, near the end of the letter it says “You were right. You are the best Quidditch captain Hogwarts has seen” After this their rivalry is more of a friendship.

Andi finds the Room of Requirement and decides its going to be a LGBT+ club (she gets permission), the next time she walks in a pan flag appears above her head.

Cyrus helps her set up a network of kids who might want to attend 

Amber, Iris and TJ are more of the popular group so when Amber and Iris walk into the Room on a meeting day you can imagine the surprise. 

“Are you sure that this is the meeting Iris? They won’t stop staring” 

Andi is shooketh because holy heck my crush is coming to the meeting be chill Andi, b r e a t h

She greets them and after some snacks from the house elves everyone feels comfortable talking to each other and introducing themselves

Amber and Iris say they’ll be regulars.

Andi had to lie down after that meeting. 

Cyrus has Potions with TJ during 4th year. Mrs. Deborah, the teacher, sat them by each other to make a potion and it exploded first try. TJ got frustrated because he mixed up some numbers but Cyrus just laughs “Its okay! We can try again” 

Thus begins Smitten Kippen 

Don’t get him started on when they made Amortenia, they were supposed to share with the class and Cyrus declined. 

TJ in that moment: Oh my god what did he smell

Cyrus to Buffy and Andi later: I don’t see what the big deal about Amortenia is? It just smelled the same as when TJ sits by me like he does in Poti-wait                                                                                            Buffy and Andi: Are you okay??

TJ and Cyrus are the disaster gays of Hogwarts. 

They’ve tried to ask each other out almost 30 times now. But it always gets interrupted by something, a troll, a werewolf turning etc. 

Cyrus has almost given up until 5th year where at a Quidditch game he gets TJ’s scarf.

It was like the meme where someone says their cold and the other person piles warm clothing on them. 

He only needed the scarf because the blush was real in that moment, nothing could cool him down. He hugged TJ said a very rushed thank you then ran to the stands. 

After that game he gave TJ a sign that said “I’m not Kippen when I say I like you” 

It becomes almost a game to see who can out flirt who

Special blueberry macadamia muffin was delivered to the Gryffindor common room. Book about lizards sent to Hufflepuff with a note in the cover. Plenty of notes sent to each other during classes.

The one who makes a move is Cyrus, TJ writes him a small poem and he marches up to TJ after dinner to say “TJ Kippen will you go out with me?”

Nothing interrupted him and TJ said yes so fast it was like something possessed him

They have a cute Hogsmeade date <3

Buffy and Marty are the most competive friends anyone has seen. Mention Quidditch? They jump for the chance to see who gets the Snitch. Spells? Get under cover this is going to be a BATTLE

Due to these competitions they get sent to the hospital wing many, many times. 

They ate too many Weasley sweets and didn’t realize they both ate a vomiting one. 

Madam Pomfrey banned Weasley treats after that, said that students were too irresponsible (a healthy black market trade arose)

Once they got out and realized they both had actual physical harm happen because of a competition Marty proposed something

Marty: Look Buffy I love our competitions...but could we stick to banter for now?                                                                                                    Buffy: You know what would be convenient? Lets go on dates, easier way to banter with each other                                                                        Marty: *screams* 

He agrees after falling down a staircase they were walking down. 

(back to the hospital wing Marty) 

By the next day it was back to regular banter! With the occasional hand holding and kiss if one of them said something a little too silly

This is the one year Jonah and Walker are beaten in the Best Couple Competition. 

Speaking of Best Couple Competitions...the year Cyrus and TJ become public is the year they almost beat Wonah (the nickname for the pairing) 

Cyrus kisses him on the cheek, his hand and on tiptoes he’ll kiss his nose but never the lips. 

TJ is totally okay with this but wonders about it sometimes. 

Skip ahead to the final Quidditch match, they’ve been dating a few months. 

TJ (about to get on this broom): Hey how about a kiss for good luck? Its the last game it might work                                                                  Cyrus (rolling his eyes): Okay you dork

Cyrus pulled him down by his collar and gave him a brief kiss

TJS FACE WAS BRIGHT RED and Slytherin was crushed by Gryffindor in a record amount of points.

Amber and Andi are a background couple most of the time, content with sitting in the library by a window. You can find them if you know where to look, the tree by the lake or near the kitchens where they sneak into for a snack. Amber is always wearing a headband from Andi and Andi will be wearing a charmed ring from Amber.

Bonus: After they both graduate, TJ is hired on a Defense of the Dark Arts teacher and Cyrus is the Arithmancy teacher. TJ goes on to be the headmaster! He makes new policies that allow students to be more comfortable with their sexuality and genders/

Bonus Bonus\: TJ and Cyrus go to Andi’s GSA weekly meeting and thats how they come out to each other. They walked in and both went “Shit”. That was the quietest they have ever been together. They walk out together and separate after throwing each other a quick smile.

I got frustrated at how no one wanted to take the damn post so I took it so we could finally get the elex out of the way even if it meant completely stepping out of my comfort zone. Where would you like to travel to next?  Thailand or Vietnam would be great. Or just to go back to Sagada would be enough. If you could win three dream vacations to anywhere, where would you go?  Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. Would you rather ride a camel or an elephant?  Neither.

Are you a free spirit? I can, but I also can’t. Do you want to lose weight? No. I want to gain it. Which insects scare you, if any? Cockroaches. Do you think it's silly to be afraid of a tiny insect?  No. Have you ever experienced paranoia? Sure, sometimes. Have you ever hallucinated? Only one time when I was 8 and had a really high fever. I was saying some weird shit to my grandma. Were you raised religious? Yes. Didn’t see the point by the time I was 10. Have you ever been abused? Verbally, mentally, and emotionally. Do you think the cops should do more about bullying? Everyone should do something about bullying, not just the cops. Besides, Filipino police are useless for the most part.

If you could afford to get your hair professionally done, what would you get? Maybe a trim and tiny bangs hahaha. Then dye it dark green.

(Just a bit of warning, not every detail in this fic is accurate, sometimes I do it to fit the story but I always try to be as historically correct as possible.)

February 1896

Buenos Aires, Argentina

 The pub was unexpectedly filled with lively people tonight as barrels of whiskey and tequila are being consumed by the minute. Men were singing and hollering with ear-knocking noise as hired dancers swayed their bodies sensually according to the strums of the guitar. Yet by the corners of the pub, illuminated only by incandescent bulbs, lie a much quieter spot for those who wish to drink Cuervos in silence. And also for those who wish for secrecy.

 “Anything about Lee Chocolates…?”

 Despite the dim lighting provided by a poor flickering light bulb, it was easy to discern that the man was stocky, tall and had an unkept beard as he kept on asking in pure Argentinian Spanish. You, on the other hand faced him with your face concealed in a tan colored scarf and as equally suspicious-looking as the other people in that part of the pub. You were glad that there weren’t people near your table—just two other customers who seemed to be minding their own business.

 What you didn’t know was that the young Asian man sitting one table away wanted to laugh at your unguardedness. Ever since your conversation began, his ears were trained on your table as he pretended to watch the ice in his glass of brandy melt. If Soonyoung was there to ask what his opinion was, he would’ve told the other guy that he was getting utterly bored. Not because he was just watching his ice until it melts, rather it was because the chase was getting dull.

 He saw you lean on closer to your client and whispered. “I heard they’re making a new line using chocolates from Cote D’Ivore.”

 Ah yes. The eldest of the young masters had settled in Cote D’Ivore to develop new recipes and cultivate specialty cacaos in the area—well that was what Soonyoung had told him since he was the one in charge for protecting the young master Jihoon and he’d better warn him so that these shady people would never step a foot on Cote D’Ivore.

 “You’d have to be more specific than that or you won’t get anything,” the rough voice of the man had woken the Asian man back to the task at hand and heard you replying next.

 “I know. Don’t be so impatient,” you said with a glare and threw a kraft colored envelope on the table. “Here’s the map. Now give me the payment.”

 Though it wasn’t the best work, it had given you the best income—information-selling, that is. However, you don’t sell just any other information; you were selling information about the international chocolate business. Now that Lee Chocolates had begun revamping its decades long operations, it was one of your bestselling info yet.

 You took the small packet handed out to you within seconds and stood up since you had another client right after that. The Asian man waited for the stocky guy to leave before he also stood up and left his table with a grin.

Xu Minghao is out for hunting.

April 1895

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

 Minghao didn’t expect coffee to look like red berries.

 As a person hailed from Fengtian, China, he was more familiar with tea and though he has heard of coffee being imported from Arabia, he has never seen the actual plant. However, as the bodyguard of the youngest Lee sibling, the job offered him the opportunity to learn a lot about chocolates and the ingredients that goes with it.

“Alright, let’s go Minghao!” Chan’s lively voice had him turn around from where he was standing—observing the lush coffee fields before him.

“Has young master sealed the deal already?” he asked as the young man grinned at him and placed an arm over his bodyguard’s shoulder. Even though Minghao was basically Chan’s servant, Chan treated him like he was his best friend.

 “It was a great deal! Jihoon would love an additional ingredient to play with,” Chan replied enthusiastically and patted Minghao on the back. “Come on, let’s visit the market and see what they have there!”

 Chan’s job in particular was to source out ingredients to make new chocolates with and it was always a dangerous task to take. There were a lot of competitors in the chocolate market and everyone wants to get ahead of the other even if it meant taking the less moral route. Minghao was there to alleviate that sort of problem in Chan’s mind, so he can travel worry-free. Chan has no idea how his bodyguard doubles as an agent in taking down those who leak information about Lee chocolates.

 And that was what he was doing that night in a damp alleyway pretending to be beggar.

 You were coming down the alley as silently as you could, covered in a long dark trench coat despite the rather humid weather. It was the first time Minghao had seen you physically but knew what you looked like because of the photograph provided by the family’s chief of security Choi Seungcheol and he had finally confirmed that the photo didn’t do you justice by how you seemed like a femme fatale in real life.

“Here’s the recipe for Blended Varietal Truffles with Amaretto,” your voice had his attention back to you again and silently waited for the reply of the person on the other side of the wall which was beyond Minghao’s view.

“Are you sure this is the one by Lee Chocolates?” a man with British accent asked and you nodded.

“You don’t trust me?” you replied but the British man scoffed at you and handed an envelope Minghao assumed was cold cash.

“You better hand me another recipe in six months,” the man demanded.

“Then pay up higher. The company’s being stricter now and it’s getting harder to obtain these things,” you replied with a scowl on your face. “The second Lee son is now managing the company and they have a complete arsenal of countermeasures.”

September 1895

Zurich, Switzerland

Chan had finally finished dealing with the orange liquor suppliers under Jihoon’s request and while Chan was busy with his skiing, Minghao was hanging out at the other part of the resort, eating a frankfurter as he casually eavesdropped once more to your conversation.

“They’re now expanding to exotic recipes, but I got you their truffle machine designs,” you said in a low voice as you handed over a folder.

Minghao had his eyebrows raised at how you were so talented at getting those sort of information. He was sure Yoon Jeonghan, the head for factory management wouldn’t be so happy.

“Good. Here’s the money,” the German replied and handed over his payment which you instantly secured inside your coat.

 November 1895

Constantinople, Ottoman Empire

Travelling was one of the many benefits of being Lee Chan’s bodyguard and personal assistant and Minghao could actually decide where they’ll go next since there really wasn’t any system of choosing in the first place. So since he was tracking you down, they went to Constantinople—a place Chan has never set afoot before.

“Wow. Do you see this, Minghao? These are pistachios!” Chan exclaimed excitedly as he handed out a fistful. Minghao took one and saw that it had an beige colored shell with a green nut resting loosely in the inside.

“Go on! Taste it!” Chan urged his rather hesitant bodyguard so he simply removed the shell and place the green nut back on Minghao’s palms. “It tastes great, you know!”

 Minghao warily placed it in his mouth and chewed it slowly—savoring the rather distinctive nutty flavor. Nodding his head, Chan grinned at him and continued talking about the pistachio.

 “You know, I’ve always been searching for Middle Eastern pistachios! The ones cultivated in the Americas die off easily so we can’t use them as ingredients,” Chan said as he popped another one into his mouth. “Plus, they’re extremely hard to ship since they go on fire so suddenly.”

 “They do? Why?” Minghao asked as Chan offered him another handful.

 “Dunno. Researchers are still figuring it out,” Chan remarked as he shrugged nonchalantly. “But we better find a way how to get these things into our cargo.”

 Later that afternoon, Minghao was enjoying himself with a bag of pistachios as he watched you yet again leak confidential company information. Well, it’s not like it’s not taken care of. There are members of the security department of Lee Chocolates that takes care of the people who bought the information from you and Minghao wasn’t part of it so he simply focused on his job.

“I finally got where they source their macadamia supplies,” you said, sitting on a park bench with an older woman sitting behind you who was smoking.

Oh no. Chan wouldn’t like that. Minghao pondered as he chewed on another nut and saw the smoking woman take a piece of paper which you slid down and gave you your sum of money.

“Excellent. We’re counting on you with the new specialty cacaos,” the woman replied and then stalked off the park as dusk loomed over the streets. Minghao popped the last pistachio in his mouth and went back to the hotel where Chan was deciding which country to go next.

February 1896

Buenos Aires, Argentina

 You were actually getting late to an appointment with a client tonight who actually asked for a sampler of the latest pistachio-coffee creation which wasn’t even released on the market yet. You always commended how good the people working in Lee Chocolates are with how they found the ingredients, how they make the recipes, how they market it, how they manage everything so efficiently and how they hide their secrets so well these days. Honestly speaking, you were actually running low on information to sell and was starting to think of switching to another company to infiltrate.  

 Entering an expensive hotel, you wondered if your client was filthy rich but you only stayed in that state of wondering since the client never gave out his identity, just a place to meet up. You climb the stairs in a hurry and in your coat lie the box of chocolates you were supposed to give. Arriving in front of the designated room, you knocked after taking deep breaths.

 “Come in,” a voice answered from behind the door and you walked right in, making sure to lock the door so there wouldn’t be any disturbances.

 The room was just like the interior of the hotel—classical European with brown wallpapered walls, light pink sconces and elegant armature made from Argentinian wood. They looked expensive but what looked more expensive was the Asian man with dark brown hair and a tiny smirk on his lips lounging casually on the comfy king sized bed. He was looking at you deviously as soon as you entered the room with his stylish black coat, white button up, and dark wool trousers.

 “You’re late,” he said to you in perfect Argentinian Spanish with his rather distinctive voice.

 You walked forwards and placed the box of chocolates beside him on the bed in a loud plop. You weren’t really interested in keeping the meet up longer than a few minutes so you simply did your part of the agreement and it was time to do his.

 He eyed the box and then back to you—throwing off a knowing smirk. “How can I be sure if you delivered me the right one?”

 You raised your brows at him. “You’d better trust me.”

 “Or else what?” Minghao grinned and gently opened the wooden box with his deft fingers. “Trust doesn’t grow on trees, love.”

 You didn’t reply, instead, you watched him take one of the dome-shaped truffles inside the felt lined box and prodded it on his lips enticingly, gazing at you as if saying, “Would you want a bite?”

 Taking a deep breath to forcibly remove yourself from his spellbinding eyes, you shrugged and looked at the porcelain lamp glowing dimly on the nightstand. Minghao was chuckling at your disoriented state and popped everything inside his mouth.

 “See? It’s the real deal. It was so hard to get them, so pay up!” you demanded as you hung your coat over your arm yet the man seemed to be taking things leisurely.

 “Patience, dear,” he replied, grabbing another piece and stood up. You were surprised how tall he was as he stood before you but what was more surprising was how close he was to your face.

 Taking advantage of your shock, he tilted your chin up to meet his eyes and nudged the piece of chocolate to your lips like what he did earlier. He was gazing at you intensely that you were sure you’re gonna melt faster than the truffle on your lips. Unable to resist, you took a small bite out of the chocolate and savored its coffee goodness with the nutty flavor of the pistachio bits.

 “It’s delicious, don’t you think?” Minghao suddenly said in a low husky voice which made your stomach go up and down. “Would you let me take a bite too?”

 You weren’t given the opportunity to produce a reply, instead, you felt his lips on yours as he swiftly slid his tongue in your mouth, relishing the decadent taste of the chocolate. The suddenness of the situation had stunned you to complete submission and you weren’t able to fight back with how dominant he was holding your waist, pushing you flush against him.

 The chocolate had long melted inside your mouth yet Minghao continued to kiss you oh-so-sensually, forgetting about it and simply enjoying how you taste. He had long wanted to do this; probably ever since he had seen your photograph and now, here you were moaning between his arms. It was so good. So, so good. Yet at the same time decadent by nature.

 He removed himself from your lips and began attacking your neck—leaving dark marks here and there—but Minghao didn’t care if you’ll see them in the morning. It was a proof of your sin.

 “No…wait…” you tried to control the situation but the young man continued nibbling on your skin as if he hadn’t heard you.

 “You’re a bad liar,” he whispered against a darkening splotch of skin as you allowed his hands to travel between your legs, noticing how wet you were becoming. “Such a bad, bad liar.”

 In your rational mind, you wanted to stop. You don’t just go sleeping with random men who looked utterly delectable as his soft lips suckled on your pulse point, making you groan in pleasure. Yet, you can’t deny it. The man was handsome with his dark hair disheveled by your fingers pulling at them, as he removed your scarf and blouse off of you, as well as your traveling shorts—leaving you on your undergarments which Minghao removed so easily. You were glad you decided not to wear such heavy dresses tonight or you’ll take forever to undress.

 Minghao led you to the bed and had you lying on the soft pillows as he hovered above you. You never noticed when he began removing his clothes but now, you saw him only with his black trousers on. Relishing at the sight of his defined muscles, you were yet again mesmerized as the haze of lust clouded your mind. Minghao was looking at you with a grin as he explored your body with his hands.

 “Chocolates are well known aphrodisiacs, you know,” muttered close to your ear as he littered more truffles on your chest and stomach.

 Your rising body heat and his warm tongue was beginning to melt the chocolates as he kissed and licked your sensitive nipples—ravishing at how the slickness of the liquid chocolate felt on your skin as he groped your breasts. As soon as he was done licking the chocolates off of you, he once again crashed his lips onto yours which had you tasting the remaining chocolate on his tongue.

 Breaking off the kiss, you felt him move lower until he began kissing your inner thighs. You were already soaked from the erotic food play from earlier and it just simply made it easier for Minghao to draw slow circles on your clit—turning you into a whimpering mess. Without warning, he slid his a finger into your dripping core that had your back arching in sheer pleasure; moaning out anything you could say. Eventually, he inserted another digit into, then another as you continued to grab on the white sheets until your knuckles were white.

 “Please…I’m…close…” you muttered between breathy rasps, begging for him to continue and as soon as Minghao had heard your words, he curled his fingers to reach your sweet spot, making you give out a choked cry.

 However, when you were merely a few pumps away from climaxing, the young man had stopped with a low chuckle rumbling from his chest.

 “No…please…please…” you whined when he took his fingers out of you and had you suck on them which you gratefully did—swirling your tongue and tasting your juices on his fingers.

 “Naughty girls don’t get to come, love. Now come over here and suck me,” he ordered you with so much authority in his voice that you had no choice but to obey obediently.

 He was kneeling in front of you with pants open and his cock out of the confined restraints of his underwear as you crawled towards him. But before you could do anything, he prodded your mouth open with his thumb and placed a piece of truffle on your tongue; his eyes glinting in mischievousness as he looked at you below him.

 You caught his idea and gradually slipped his cock between your lips. Your tongue twirled around the head as the chocolate began melting in your mouth as he fisted your hair, controlling your movements. Your hand then made its way to the base of his member and pumped the remaining length you couldn’t fit.

 Minghao groaned at the sight of you bobbing your head up and down his shaft as the dark stains of chocolate remained on his skin. And when you stared into his eyes with you lips around his cock, Minghao had to bite his lip to stop himself from coming in your mouth. He then forced himself to slip away from you and had you lying back down on the mattress as he spread your legs apart.

 “Ready for me, love?”

 Even though it was a question, he didn’t need a reply. Minghao rubbed his shaft between your folds just to tease you and when you were beginning to whimper, he finally gave in and pushed his cock into you roughly.

 Shocked at the sudden feeling of fullness, you arched your back as you gripped on the sheets for dear life. He was ramming into you with intensity as you cried out incoherent words repeatedly like a mantra. Minghao then shifted his position, grabbing your leg and placing it over his shoulder as he continued to thrust into you relentlessly.

 “Y-yes…ah—oh my god,” you cried as a familiar feeling pooled in your stomach. He then reached out for your clit and rubbed it relentlessly; biting his lips to hide a grunt because of how tight you were gripping him.

 “Come on, love. Come for me,” Minghao coaxed as he changed angles and pounded right at your sweet spot.

 Sound of skin slapping echoed inside the room together with your heavy breaths and loud moans. Minghao was completely enamored with how you looked so utterly fucked out with your tinted cheeks and lidded eyes as he continues to pounded into you until you were crying out; reaching your orgasm. Within a few more thrusts, Minghao pulled out and came on your stomach as you dazedly watch him kiss your lips once more.

 You never realized that you fell asleep until you woke up a while later.

Though, you didn’t expect to be handcuffed on the bed railings as your hazy eyes registered the Asian man who just gave you one of the best nights of your life, sitting lazily on a chair in front of you. Immediately panicking, you pulled on the restraints but the young man only gave you a mere chuckle.

 “Just how naughty are you love? Having sex with a man without knowing his name,” he spoke first as he glanced at his nails, seemingly uninterested on you.

 “You…! What…what is this?!” you shouted yet the man simply scoffed and brushed a hand on his still disheveled hair which you may or may not admit as sexy.

 “Can’t you tell, love? You’re being tied up,” he replied with a grin, leaning against the backrest of the chair. “You’ve been a very, very bad girl lately.”

 “What…what do you mean?”

 “Oh you know what I mean,” his lips crept to a smirk as he stood up from where he was sitting—slowly walking towards you with his hands on his pockets. “Selling information about Lee chocolates and all. Unfortunately for you, I work for them.”

 You blanched within seconds after you heard his words as your eyes grew wide. There was no way out of this anymore.

 “Oh my god. You’re…you’re Xu Minghao...Lee Chan’s bodyguard,” you muttered in a small terrified voice as the owner of the name held your chin up to look straight into his eyes.

 “That’s right, love. Unfortunately, you won’t be seeing anymore clients,” he told you with a menacing grin. “We already took them down.”

 You were about to say something when he placed a finger on your lips to shush you.

 “But you don’t have to worry about that, love. Fortunately for you, Lee Chocolates is open for hiring.”
