She was doing it on purpose. She had to be. No one ate cake like that. No one in public, anyway. It was as if every single choice he had made in life had led to this moment where he was being forced to watch Edea eat cake in the most erotic fashion possible.
The group had been dragged along by Edea on another one of her dessert binges. The Eternian had wanted to visit the new sweets shop after its grand opening, and had been on the verge of a Florem-wide tantrum when they decided to give in and let her have her way.
When they'd arrived, Edea had quickly ordered one of everything on the menu, while Agnès and Tiz had been more content to sip milk and marvel at Edea's metabolism. Ringabel had ordered a simple coconut cake, taking small bites so as to savor the flavor.
Edea, however…
"Uhn…" she moaned as she took another bite of cheesecake, a dollop of whipped cream hanging off the edge of her lip. A girl had no business making sounds so loud, so…suggestive in public, especially with regards to things like cake. Agnès and Tiz were starting to stare themselves, though the vestal's face was beet red, hidden partially by her hands.
"It's so rich and creamy…" Edea purred, licking away the whipped cream and taking another bite. This time, she flicked her tongue out and licked the edge of the piece, taking away minuscule bits of cream and graham cracker in the process.
"Oh, crystals." Agnès whispered, her breath coming out in short, ragged gasps. Tiz seemed to be frozen in time, his eyes locked onto Edea, and refusing to so much as blink.
"It's so sweet, it just explodes in my mouth." Edea moaned. She finished the last bite of her current slice and started on a new one, letting out a joyous squeal.
Agnès, surprising the table, stood from her seat, quickly spoke "Ineedtousetherestroom." and disappeared faster than anyone's eyes could track.
"What's up with her?" asked Edea in a deceptively innocent tone of voice.
Ringabel shrugged, though, from the way he saw Agnès wring her hands over her lap, he could guess why she ran off as she did.
"Her loss. This cake is sooooooooo goooooood…" Edea took a bite of a piece of strawberry cheesecake. Her reaction was instantaneous and explosive.
"Oh, YES!" she exclaimed, pounding the table with a fist. "Yes, yes, yes, YES!" Edea threw her hair back, letting out a long-drawn out moan that drew the attention of every male (and more than a few females) in the store.
Wordlessly, Tiz stood, muttered a barely audible "Excuse me.", and disappeared into the bathroom, hunching over slightly.
Ringabel remained, the pompadoured man's face stoic and impassive, completely belying his inner emotions. He had to draw attention it, and soon, before they were forcibly escorted from the restaurant.
"Edea." he said, interrupting the girl mid-bite. "You…are aware of the sounds you're making, right?"
The Eternian stared at him quizzically, tilting her head in that adorable fashion, a habit she had picked up from Agnès. "Huh? What're you talking about?"
Ringabel blanched. Surely she was pulling his leg. "Those, ah…noises you make when you're eating. Those…suggestive noises."
"What 'suggestive noises'?"
"…Will you excuse me for a moment?" Ringabel asked, getting up from the table and going to the bathroom as well.
A positively evil smirk adorned Edea's features as she took another bite of cake, much more normally than her previous times.
"That was almost too much fun." she chuckled, finishing off her slice. Cake always tasted better after a prank.
