Vinny’s life is a cycle of guilt, shame, and failure. Trapped between a disappointed mother and a future he can’t face, even stepping outside feels unbearable.

His only escape is Griffin, a magnetic, beautiful chef he has never met, yet knows almost intimately through his videos. To Vinny, Griffin is perfect. Too perfect. His obsession runs deeper than attraction, it’s a hunger he can’t confess, not to his family and not to anyone.

One morning, locked in his room, Vinny gives in to his forbidden fantasy. But when the rush fades, he’s left with the same crushing truth: Griffin will never know him.

Or so he thought.

Because soon, Vinny’s obsession will no longer be one sided, and when their worlds collide, neither of them will ever be the same.

Sorry for the long wait. I had a lot going on in real life and, well, we all know money keeps us alive so I can keep writing 😅😂.


I really appreciate your patience and support—it means the world to me. Please tell me what you think of the new chapter, I'd love to see your comments.


Creation is hard, but your feedback and encouragement always cheer me up! 💙


BTW I'm thinking of creating visuals side by side and changing them to show the different progression in the story. What do you think?


Chapter 16 - Hey everyone
