179 Burrito-making Competition

He was about to ask what all the fillings were for until the bag with tortilla wraps landed in front of Ronan.

“Um, Ronan...”

“Yes?”

“Are you hosting a feast? Just how many people are you inviting to this date???”

“Only you and me,” Ronan said cheerfully. “I think you can eat a little more. You are too skinny.”

Lucien scoffed.

“Were you not the one who said that my butts are squishy?”

Ronan steepled his hands below his chin in a cute manner.

“I like your squishy butts. Eat more.”

.....

“...”

Lucien pursed his lips in displeasure.

“Maybe you should eat more so I also have some squishy butts to grab.”

Ronan chuckled.

“Why don’t we have a small burrito-making competition? The loser has to eat all the burritos that the winner prepares.”

“Heh.”

Brimming with confidence, Lucian leaned in and said, “You are going to lose, Ronan Silverback. What does a rich boy like you know about making burritos?”

Ronan leaned in as well and replied, “I don’t think so. I have better taste than you.”

Without further ado, four resort personnel were recruited as judges for the impromptu competition.

Ronan and Lucien gave each other one last glare before they went to work on their unique burritos. Each of them had to prepare two burritos that were cut in halves for the judges to rate. There was no limitation on the amount and type of fillings. Anything can be used.

Ronan took care of spreading molten cheese over his tortilla wrap before he stuffed his burrito with salmon filet, caviar, tomato, and lettuce.

Lucien did a lot more work on his burritos. He first minced the cabbage and red onions. He then fried them over the fire, adding black beans and ground beef one by one. The fragrant smell that emanated from the pan was enough to make the bystanders salivate.

At last, he arranged the steaming fillings neatly on his tortilla, topped it with shredded Gouda cheese, and rolled it carefully so that the filling did not spill out.

After both Lucien and Ronan were done with the wrapping, the chefs helped them to roast the burritos over the fire pit.

The burritos were served on two small plates in front of the judges along with salsa and sour cream. The red-rimmed plate had Lucien’s burrito while the green-rimmed plate had Ronan’s.

“Please taste them and tell us which one tastes better,” Lucien said.

The four judges exchanged funny glances before they tasted the burritos in front of them one by one.

In order to respect the Alpha, naturally they tasted the green-rimmed plates first.

“Hmmm,” they nodded in appreciation while nodding toward each other after taking the first bite. Beaming with pride, Ronan shot Lucien a victorious look.

“I told you that I have better taste.”

Lucien rolled with his eyes and said nothing in return.

When the judges tasted Lucien’s, though, they could not stop eating. After they were done, they showered Lucien’s creation with praises.

“Amazing! Mr. Clearwater really knows how to make proper burritos!!!”

“This has to be one of the most authentic burritos that I have ever tasted in my life!”

“It reminds me of my dead grandmother!”

“The perfect combination of the fillings makes me want to cry!”

The winner of the small competition was clear.

Ronan’s face darkened visibly. He crossed his arms before his chest and pursed his lips.

The four judges looked like prisoners who were about to face the gallows.

Patting Ronan on the back, Lucien grinned at the taller man.

“I told you that you are going to lose.”

The four judges were dismissed right after to preserve what remained of Ronan’s dignity.

The Alpha took his seat and sulked while Lucien happily rolled up his sleeves to make burritos for Ronan.

He took out not one, not two, but five burrito wraps at once.

Ronan widened his eyes in shock.

The Alpha thought that his lover was an excessively petty person. If Ronan had won, he would not have forced Lucien to eat five burritos in one sitting! How evil! This angelic-looking man in the white sweater was a devil in disguise!

Lucien was extremely good-mooded.

He had been wanting to punish Ronan Silverback for some time. Ironically, it was Ronan who dug his own grave.

After he finished roasting the five burritos, Lucien strolled over to the waiting Ronan with a huge grin.

He picked a burrito from the plate and held it in front of Ronan.

“Come, Alpha. You should keep your word,” Lucien taunted while he pressed the end of the burrito against Ronan’s lips.

Aggrieved, Ronan pulled his lover to sit on his lap. He then obediently opened his mouth and ate his lover’s creation.

It was not bad. Ronan did not say it out loud, but he claimed credit for sourcing the best ingredients for Lucien to pick from.

If they had sent Lucien off to go shopping for ingredients, Goddess knew what cheap, low-quality meat and vegetables he might get from the supermarket.

Although they were very good, Ronan was still unable to devour five burritos for brunch.

After eating only two, the Alpha cuddled his lover and shot him a barrage full of pitiful looks.

“I can’t eat anymore,” he begged. “Please don’t do this to me.”

Lucien chuckled.

“Then what do you want to do?” He teased. “Are you going to waste my cooking?”

Ronan lifted a burrito, dipped it into salsa, and held it before Lucien.

“Help me eat,” he begged further.

Lucien broke into a smile. He thought that the Alpha in front of him was both shameless and adorable. He spouted big words prior to the competition, but after he lost, he not only failed to deliver but also tried to make the winner share his punishment.

The sauce dripped down Ronan’s fingers when Lucien finished eating the burrito from his hand. The man then proceeded to lick Ronan’s fingers clean.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

His tongue danced around Ronan’s middle finger before he sucked it into his mouth.
