    Summary

    And Beatrice is not good; she is not holy; she is not worthy of her vows. She is taking advantage of Ava’s good nature, of her warmth, of her need for physical intimacy. She knows that she is. She knows that when Ava reaches for her in the dark it isn’t because she’s reaching for Beatrice so much as she’s reaching for someone. A body. Any body would suffice. Beatrice’s body, with its racing heart and its trembling fingers, with its weak-kneed sensibilities and inability to say no, just happens to be near.

    And Beatrice is not good; she is not holy; because she does not stop it from happening. She leans into it. She draws Ava into herself, she breathes in the scent of Ava’s shampoo, she revels in the warmth of her skin beneath her clothes, in the perfect way Ava’s soft curves seem to meld against her own hardness. Beatrice is all sharp edges. She is stern, she is steel.

    She is weak, for Ava and everything about her.

    Summary

    He frowns at her, before responding, “You, Ava Silva, are the bane of my existence.”

    “Wow,” She breathes, alarmed and somehow amused at the same time, “It’s not the first time I’ve heard that, but that’s definitely the fastest someone’s ever said it for sure.”

    “They were onto something,”

    Summary

    Chef AU in which Mary is an American chef in a French cooking competition. Ava is her sous chef. Lilith is also competing, with Beatrice as her sous, and sparks fly between the two teams.

    The title comes from this charming Harry Connick Jr. song of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uij5s69iEjs

     

    A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
    Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
    Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
    And that's the recipe for making love

    It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
    It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
    Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
    And that's the recipe for making love

    And if you've made it right you'll know it
    It's not like anything you've made before
    And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
    'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more

    I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
    I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
    No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
    And that's the recipe for making love
