Cake



Today's muse: Sunday Scribblings

This week's prompt: Cake

* * *

Cake

Moist and sinfully rich, he cannot deny the greedy pleasure of consuming the heavenly sweetness. It’s not a matter of merely wanting—it is an all-consuming need that he cannot conquer. A raspy moan rolls out as his tongue emerges for the first taste; a tentative flick, like a question.

He wants to take his time, enjoy the flavour, savour the moment, but his hunger overrides all pretence at delicacy. He plunges to devour the salty syrup, crazed with the need to possess, to have and eat.

Panting, heart racing, he waits a few moments, then dips down to feast again.

Makes me almost want to eat cake, but I just don't like it. Now, give me a cookies and I'm in heaven. In fact, just give me the dough.

Makes me wonder who he be!

@Deborah: I was dribbling, too!

@W&W: I never got into the cookie dough thing. But somehow, cookie dough ice cream always makes it into my freezer.

@Dave King: Me too!
