John was busy baking. As a rule, cooking wasn’t an activity he found enjoyable. In fact, he hated it. John was the kind of person who tuned in to Delia Smith’s How To Cook and marveled at her ability to boil an egg. Tea and toast was about as far as his culinary skills went. When he wasn’t faced with the promise of a tray of airline food, he tended to dine out or order takeout from the local Chinese.

But then this wasn’t cooking in the usual sense. The oven was set at 250 degrees Celsius, which was the temperature Fernando had specified before going out to make his regular early evening drop-offs in the West End. He had been gone for just over an hour. Soon it would be time to remove the Pyrex bowl from the oven and allow its contents to cool before scraping the white residue onto a cool plate, grinding it into a fine powder, and then weighing it into little plastic bags with the scales Fernando kept for such occasions. But not just yet. Peering through the oven door, John could still see a trace of liquid in the bottom of the bowl. How much longer it would take for the remaining liquid to crystalize was anyone’s guess. One thing John had learned over the past few months was that there were no hard-and-fast rules about these things. Fernando was right. Cooking Ketamine was a complicated business, more an art than a science. Smiling to himself, John wondered what Delia would make of it.

This was the first time Fernando had entrusted him with cooking the K, so naturally he was feeling a little apprehensive. He’d watched Fernando doing it dozens of times, and had helped with the weighing and the bagging up. But to be left in charge of the cooking felt like a real honor. It was a sign that their relationship had progressed to a different level. A new bond of trust had been established. And despite the slightly worrying overtones implicit in the fact that Fernando was currently out striking deals while he was at home slaving over a hot oven like a dutiful wife, John couldn’t help but feel a warm glow of contentment, the likes of which he had never experienced before. After years of sleeping around, and insisting that relationships were only for fools and lesbians, he was finally forced to admit that he was in love.

Of course it helped that the object of his affection was a drug-dealing Brazilian with a body to die for, whose arrival in John’s life had made him the envy of all his friends. But there was more to it than that. The sex was the best he’d ever had, and after three months showed no sign of letting up, either in its intensity or its frequency. Fernando had a voracious sexual appetite, and not only when he was coked up to the eyeballs. Some nights they barely touched the stuff and still they were at it, hammer and tongs.
