Breakfast Sounds Good

Despite what part of her was thinking, Katie decided that having breakfast wouldn't be so bad. She turned around and continued towards the kitchen where Dr. Verlax was cooking. As she got closer she could see that he was cooking not only a batch of eggs over easy, along with some bacon, but he had prepared pancakes, as well. The smell was intoxicating and her stomach rumbled once more.

"Ah, there you are, Katie." Verlax greeted her, his back still turned, without turning around. "I'm almost done making breakfast, just sit down and I'll bring it over."

"Uh, sure." Katie didn't argue, her stomach was telling her to take whatever food was being offered.

She walked over to the kitchen table and took a seat. As she sat down, she could feel the dress ride up her thighs and expose her panties. She was embarrassed, but there was no one around but her and and the doctor. He was still busy preparing breakfast. Katie has since gathered her thoughts, and decided to make conversation.

"So, is 'Verlax' a family name?" She asked.

"What's that?" The doctor replied without turning around.

"Your name. Verlax, is that a family name?"

"No, I made it up."

"You made it up?"

"Yes. I wanted a name that sounded professional and doctor-ish. My father was a piece of shit who never respected the sciences, I'd never have taken his name. 'Verlax' sounded like something someone intelligent would have."

"Oh. Well, it does sound kinda fancy."

"Yes, and that is the point. People tend to give more respect when they have a certain name. If they hear 'Doctor John Smith' they don't have a good impression of the person. But, if they hear 'Doctor Verlax', they assume you are a genius."

"That's kind of silly." Katie couldn't help but stifle a laugh, but she had this nagging feeling in her mind she really shouldn't be friendly with this man. Didn't he **** her or something?

"Breakfast is ready, my dear." Doctor Verlax interrupted her thoughts.
He placed the food in front of her. "Here you go. Enjoy."

Katie was salivating at the smell. It smelled absolutely delicious. The eggs and bacon were perfectly cooked, the pancakes were golden brown, and the syrup looked delicious.

"Wow. You can really cook, huh?" Katie said astonished.

"Cooking is a form of science. You're measuring and mixing ingredients, just like when you are making a formula for anything else. It's just a bit more...palatable."

Katie giggled. "That's a funny way to look at it."

"That's reality." The doctor said bluntly. "Eat."

"Oh. Um, sure." Katie started taking small bites, but immediately realized the taste was overwhelmingly good. It was as if the food was designed to appeal to her the most, it was perfectly salted, the eggs were just runny enough, the pancakes were buttery and fluffy.

"Oh my." She said with her mouth full.

"Do you like it?"

"This is great!"

"Good." Verlax smiled. "I want to make sure you're happy, and well fed. You're going to be with me for a long time, after all, as my assistant."

"Right..." Katie swallowed her bite and began to realize what she had gotten herself into.

"Are you going to finish your meal?" The doctor asked, noticing she paused her consumption.

"Y-yes. I will." Katie was still hesitant, but her stomach was telling her to continue eating. She was a bit unnerved by what the doctor had said, and caught awareness that he was just staring at her now. She took another bite and continued to eat. Some more time continued to pass as she was eating a bit quietly now.

"Do you like the dress?" Dr. Verlax finally broke the silence.

"Not really." Katie muttered, mouth full of pancake.

"It's a bit short, isn't it?"

"Yes, but, I've always been a bit bigger than most. I don't really fit into smaller sizes very well."

"Yes, but I don't see why a bigger girl shouldn't wear something short. Your soft, feminine, and plump body is meant to be displayed. I think it's lovely and very becoming."

"Uh, thank you?"

"You're welcome."

Katie blushed a little, and then immediately shook the thought out of her mind. No. She couldn't let him flatter her like that. "I don't feel comfortable in this dress. I'd rather wear my normal clothes."

"Ah, I see. I'd prefer you to wear the dress." Verlax said plainly.

"But-"

"That's the way it is, Katie. I'm the one in charge, and you're my assistant."

"Right, your assistant."

"And as my assistant, you must do as I say."

Katie looked up from her plate of food, and met the doctors gaze. She could tell he was serious.
"Yes, doctor." She replied, defeated.

"Very good. Now, since I cooked for you, I'd like you to take care of the dishes. I know it is a bit archaic, and despite being a progressive man myself, I have a particular fondness towards women who can housekeep. I have some work to do." Verlax proceeded to leave the kitchen.

Katie stared blankly at him, she felt a bit degraded. "Alright.."

"Wonderful. I'll leave you to it," he said as he left the room.

Katie wondered to herself, was she really going to clean the dishes? The doctor seemed to disappear, maybe she could leave. She wouldn't be running on an empty stomach now, at least.
