“You made this?” she squealed, her lips wrapped around the fork, sucking every morsel from it. Her eyes danced with a mischievous sparkle as she stared at me in wonder.
“I did.” I replied, taking the humble approach. Nobody liked a braggart after all.
“There’s no way this is healthy.” she replied, taking another mouthful, her eyes still afire. I merely shrugged, a lopsided smirk on my face.
“Either way,” I began, “You’re going to have to work off those calories.” I said in my most seductive voice possible, my eyes boring into her as I began to take off my shirt.
She looked between me and the cake a few times, finally putting the fork down. She was young and attractive, and I knew some that would’ve felt a twinge of guilt at seducing one so inexperienced in life, but as the title says, this cake is guilt free.
