Finger-Licking Good

Did anyone ever teach you that smacking your mouth while eating was poor manners? Because they were wrong.

There is nothing off-putting about your saliva sloshing, finger licking, or mouthful moanings.

In fact, it fills me with hope and a promise you find it so delicious that you won't just stop at my fingers and toes.

Even at the sight of blood spurting with every heartbeat, I wouldn't dare scream and drown the melody you author while satisfying your raging appetite. Such music is blissful anesthesia to the pain.

I hope you save my ears for last so I continue to bathe in the sound. I would tell you so myself, if I could only inch my face a few inches to the left where my tongue sits: twitching on this stainless steel table I'm sprawled on.

Maybe in the struggle to catch it between my teeth where it belongs, I could satisfy my own food envy, and see what the hype is all about.
