Guilty Pleasure
Added 2023-09-16 16:00:04 +0000 UTCContext: Much, much later, she has him try the cookies she brought him. He doesn't show a reaction. She wants to find a sweet he likes, a guilty pleasure.
This was shown on Discord during our meet this past Sunday. Shout out to those who came out to hang out and chat!
“We’ll have to find you a dessert you like. Everyone should have a guilty pleasure.”
He didn’t respond, but his gaze moved over her. A warm flush spread. The fact that he could do that with so little effort embarrassed her. She was so tuned into him, so receptive to anything he deigned to give her when she’d been bored to tears with other men. They didn’t challenge her intellectually, physically, even emotionally. Roth thrived in every arena and took great pleasure in tossing her into the ether and then slamming her back to earth. There must be something wrong with her that she got off on that. The sensible part of her that had been groomed to follow her sister’s path believed she should have a life with smooth sailing. Controlled, contained. No high highs or low lows. Her sisters didn’t strive for love, but affection. They didn’t have fits of rage, just passing irritations. What was life without passion? Without giving into the need to scream and let go of all inhibitions? She broke off a chunk of chocolate chip and stuffed her face instead of stepping into him and seeing if he wanted to go another round.
