The Final Cupcake

in Scholar and Scribe2 years ago (edited)

Unblinking, he watched her take the last of it. Swallowing hard, she ran her tongue to the corner of her mouth, licking the cream from her lips. Deftly inserting each frosting-coated finger into her mouth, she sucked slowly, eyeing him, challenging him, arousing him. She watched the tell-tale signs of her imminent victory: his pupils dilating, pulse throbbing, and chest lifting. Trying to hide his arousal, he clenched his chest tight, willing himself to breathe calmly. Lacey's lips curved into a smile as she heard his unmistakable panting.

"I know when you're fake calm," her voice purred as she stalked closer to him, gliding her fingertips up the base of his neck. Winding her fingers around the stray curls, she grasped and tugged, pulling his head back. Like a good little predator, she exposed his jugular. Like a sweet little vixen, she pressed her lips to his throat. Rising up onto her tiptoes, she crooned into his ear.

"Don't you want to know how I know?" It was her turn to tease. He smiled, enjoying how she could turn tables expertly.

Nipping gently at his ear, she continued to toy with her prey. "Because you breathe differently."

Before she could react, he spun in her arms and lifted her onto his waist. Her legs wrapped involuntarily around him as she tried to use leverage to gain control. Surrendering momentarily, she allowed him to carry her into the kitchen.

With slightly jarring force, he set her down onto the counter.

"You don't play fair, Lady Lacey."

"Fair is relative, Sir Dex."

"Is it, now?" Closing the distance between them, he backed her against the cupboard. "Well, then I say it's fair that I take you away from all this and make you my little kept woman."

"Not on your life," she grunted, pushing his chest away from her and angling to hop off the counter. Unfortunately, he had her pinned with her legs still around him. Moving off the counter was giving him more of a play than she was willing to sacrifice.

She was so easy to antagonize when she was feisty; it was almost too easy. "Well, my sexy kitten, we weren't talking about my life, were we? We were talking about yours." Amused arrogance darkened his eyes as he maneuvered into a better position. Grabbing behind her knees, he pulled her towards him, hoping to catch her off-balance, physically and mentally.

Sniffing in indignation, she growled, "My life is mine, and yours is mine too! I built my empire and I'm not giving it up." Countering his attack, she slipped her leg out of his grasp and drove her foot against his chest, sending him backwards. "You give up yours!"

He grabbed her ankle to keep from stumbling back, but her words impacted him more than the shove. She had never asked him this before. At any time, he would have willingly sold off his business and traded everything in for her, but she had always retreated when he had pursued. Was she serious? Is this really what she meant by wanting it all? Would she have him? He felt shy, awkward, and vulnerable. Like a pimple-faced, sixth grade boy asking out the junior prom queen, he quivered. All that he had amassed, all his confidence and bravado melted away; his bones liquified to jelly and his joints morphed to goo.

But he appeared sexy, strong and cocky. The sarcasm dripped from his lips, and his laughter had a bite to it. "Give up mine? Ha! Become your trophy husband? ha- HA! What makes you think that I'd trade it all my fortune in for you?" He realized too late that it was too much. Seeing the quiver in her lips and the sheen in her eyes, he regretted his defensive techniques. Now he just wanted to crush her in his arms with love and make sure that nothing ever hurt her, ever again.

Lacey held his gaze. She was terrified, but mentally acknowledged that to truly have it all she had to be willing to make bold moves. This was just another merger and acquisition, right? She only had to provide a strong enough offer for the merger to be a win/win proposition. But what? He was right. What did she have that would want to make him be with her? Why choose her when he could have anyone? She didn't know. She had no answers. She spied the final cupcake from the batch and giggled.

"Because," she scooped a glob of sweet cream off the tiny cake, sending a blueberry rolling away from its cushioned pillow of frosting. "I'll be the best cupcake you've ever had."

He leaned forward to capture her finger in his mouth, snickering with pent-up, giddy, silly, life-altering, world-changing laughter. "The only cupcake I'll ever want again?"

"Your final cupcake," she nodded obediently.

"With chocolate drizzles?" he beamed.

"I'll even give you the cherry," she retorted, fire renewed in her eyes.

Barking with laughter, he felt his world shift into a whole new orbit with her as the center of his universe. Grabbing her face with both hands, he planted his mouth against hers, both claiming her as his and surrendering himself to her.

"Miss Lacey, will you really?"

"My dearest Dex, I most certainly will."




This is the final portion of my 3 part serial fiction for Scholar and Scribe/Dreemport Challenge! This was SUCH a wonderful challenge to get my creative juices flowing hehehe!!!

LOVED IT!!!! It so did not disappoint Ms. Dreems... I smiled the whole way through... and I could not help giggling at the ...

"Because you breathe differently."

!LOLZ !ROFL

This was sooooooooooooo playful and sexy and cute and... geez I cannot believe they both almost called too many bluffs... I would have been so cross with either of them if they had played out the drama of a tv soap and not communicated properly 😂 Instead... it was the perfect balance of wit and charm and left us all with a wonderful moment of awe and aw - so adorable... our hearts just melt and we as readers get to leave the story, happy ever after hehe. I loved the final cupcake bit - my heart is full for Lacey and Dex ❤️

oh.. hahahaha and i'm glad that you noticed that nod to the first part about "fake sleeping and breathing differently" and "fake calm and breathing differently"hahahahaha

i always like to tie things like that together LOL

It was fabulous... a laugh-out-loud moment! Very clever to come full circle and put the shoe on the other foot 😂💗

I love it! At first I thought there will be a wild and harsh scene HAHA, I really hate my mind 😂 but to be honest it still a hot scene even there is no what Im expecting. Lolz Nice work!

hahahahahahaha yes - i prefer to leave all that super sex in the minds of my readers to unfold as they.... need LOOLOLOLOLOLOL

don't hate your mind - embrace it and carry the story on beyond my ending into the magical dreeeeeems of your mind tonight!!!! hahahahaha

and its ok... you don't have to tell us what you see. keep that to the grey matter between your ears ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Steamy Dreemy. This is so much fun! Went back and read every one. (Haha, that rhymes)
Cute, cute...cute.
The ultimate thing, though, is that Lacey identifies as a cupcake. Haha, that’s very cleverly done - the all powerful woman personifying as an frivolous cake. He cracks her facade, she cracks his, and they crack the crinkly paper around those cupcakes with aplomb.

Seriously gorgeous writing 🤗❤️💕

hehehehe wasn't that a nice little bit of vulnerability from her????

After all she asked him to give up, I guess she decided she might wear a little frosting for him LOLOLOL

I really did fall in love with their playful feistiness!!!! Thank you for visiting Stylish!!!!!

Bravo Dreemie. In the end their love conquered all, Dex is so brave and in love. Willing to give everything for Lacy. I also like how you manage to do all the sexy scenes while keeping it PG.

!PIZZA
!LUV

hehehehe yes - it's more difficult to convey those sexy scenes in PG - but a fun challenge to accept!!! thank you for coming to visit hehehehe

A challenge you passed excellently

Sweet ending, as sweet as the cupcake.. The love birds are romantic..nice story 😊.. No harsh scenes or whatever, just pure love...

hehehehe yes i try to stay away from too many obvious things. better to let the reader imagine what they'd like and fill in all the blanks for themselves hehehhe

thank you jane!!!! :)

Nipping gently at his ear, she continued to toy with her prey. "Because you breathe differently."


Reminded me of this scene from Maverick (1994), which I watched (for about the 5th time) with the fam not long ago.

Annabelle : How'd you know I was bluffing? I didn't do any of my tells. I didn't shuffle my cards, I didn't pull my hair, I didn't even flick my teeth.

Maverick : You held your breath. If you'd been excited, you would have started breathing harder.

HAHAHAHAHAHA i had forgotten about that movie - and now I want to watch it tonight - that was a GREAT one!!!

not sure if you read part 1 - but it was actually an homage to how she was "fake sleeping" and when he asked her if she knew how he could... he told her she was breathing differently. hehehehe

so - kinda just a play on that part - i always like to bring it full circle when the Muse allows!!! hehehehe

thank you for your visit! (and for the movie recommendation for tonight!!) - Jodie Foster was WONDERFUL in that. She always plays such a sharp, intellectual mind - it was SO fun to see her as a blonde bombshell hehehehehe

Just watched "The Holy Grail" with the fam tonight (it was the first time my youngest kids have seen it). It reminded me of 1990, when dialup internet was a brand new thing. I was 'surfing' and found the complete scripts to "The Holy Grail" and "The Princess Bride" and printed them out for my girlfriend (now wife).

She started reading aloud from them and then just kept laughing and laughing as she continued. Things were a lot simpler then.

ok so... i have never watched The Holy Grail hahahahaha I know. i know... everyone says HOW???? LOL but i have a better one for you - I have also never seen The Godfather. hahahahahahahahahaha

that is so awesome that she was reading the scripts and laughing!!!!!!! oh man - that is so awesome! hahaha

have you actually read the book - for the Princess Bride???? the author breaks the fourth wall over and over - and its SO great. there are all these little things in it hahahaha so funny!!!

Sorry, I did not catch Part 1.


... now I want to watch it tonight

As soon as we finished watching it, I thought, "I need to watch it again just so I can figure out what wrong words to 'Amazing Grace' they sang at the stagecoach driver's makeshift funeral."

Annabelle : Well, you all don't have the exclusive on tells! You both have the same height, the same build, you both talk the same, you both kiss the same, you both draw your guns the same, and you both sing the same wrong words to 'Amazing Grace'.

and..... did you get them???? OLOLOL

or do i have to listen too hahahaahhaa

and no worries about the part 1 hehehe was just sharing the inside track with you hehehe

😱😱 Holy Merlin!!!
Still don't know what's going on?!?! What an ending!
I think after this finale, I need to excuse myself to the restroom! 😱
It was like an cupcake erotic novel but without "the happy end". 50 tastes of cupcake, 365 cupcakes, After we Eat the cupcake.

"I'll be the best cupcake you've ever had."

Is it hot in hear? 😰

!LOLZ !PIZZA

@darthsauron, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.

More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes... lots of sneaky little innuendos in there to have the adults sweating - but still PG-13 enough to fly right over the heads of the innocent hahahahahahaha

50 tastes of cupcake.... LOLOLOL that's a good one!!! heeheh think someone will publish me??? hahahahahaha

Great work Dreem! I've thoroughly enjoyed the back and forth between Lacey and Dex and you've kept the dialogue playful and realistic. It takes a lot of skill to write spicy scenes like this without giving too much away and you've done so perfectly!
!PIZZA

hehehe yes- it's always a challenge to give just enough without giving too much! lol

i like my spice level to be a 3 LOLOLOL

(but I fully invite the reader to take it as far as they want in their own mind! hahahahah)

Thanks so much for coming to visit and enjoy this cupcake story hehehe

I'm still catching up on everyones posts! Sooooo MUCH READING! I absolutely love it!

oh my gosh - me too.. LOL i tried to catch up last week and just ended up missing more and now there are more dropped hahahaha

HUGE SUCCESS I THINK!! :)

Yes 100% a huge success! @samsmith1971 and I started to chat after the party last night about some continuing collaboration possibilities! Just need to do some thinking about how exactly it would work with our creative writing focus but I'd love to keep up a partnership contest of some kind with you all! It's just been AMAZING <3
!PIZZA

as you can see with @ecency... we love continuing our partnerships :) so let's keep talking! hehe

sam.jpg

thank you @vyb and @samsmith1971! hehehe

Most .... Part. She wrapped her legs around him and unwantedly allowed him to take her to kitchen.. LOL..

This was lovely and it ended so well. Love requires some form of sacrifice and commitment from both parties. Even where there is disagreement or misunderstanding at any point, communication will aid to strengthen their resolve.

hehehe i'm glad that you enjoyed it. and so glad that Dex and Lacey worked it out so they could spend life together hehehehehe

Delicious writing with silky prose and finger-licking innuendos. It's like watching a seductive tango dance except with more cream and cakes. 😜

For the love of cupcakes I luuurved that hehehe.

Beautifully done right up to the final whistle Ma’am:)

If there is no season two follow on then I will ride my donkey across the big dam and seize your baking trays hehehe!

This wowed me 🥰🥰🥰. I enjoyed every part; like how she finished the final cupcake having made up her mind to be his everlasting cupcake.

I loved their communication skills.
This is FABULOUS @dreemsteem 👍👍👌

😊❤️

Love is the only win win.

Loved your story from beginning to end.

💥

Wow, what a perfect blend of sexy and nuanced! There was so much going on here... not only was the piece hot as hell, but there was such a deep emotionality and conflict taking place between the two characters! It's a shame I wasn't able to stumble across these posts earlier, that way I could've followed the story from start to finish with my votes. Have 100%, you earned it!... along with some engagement tokens: !PIZZA !HBIT !WINE !CTP
