They tried red velvet—Terra liked it and Taurex did not.

“It tastes artificially red,” he said.

Terra stared at him.

“Are you saying you can taste the red food dye? What does red taste like?”

“This.” He pointed at the cake.

Marcia laughed.

“Well, we’ll mark that one off the list. Try this instead. No food dye at all—I promise.” She slid the lemon raspberry plate toward them. “It’s our bestseller.”

Terra took a bite first and her eyes rolled back in her head for a moment as she moaned with pleasure.

“Oh, yumm.”

Taurex had to shift in his seat to accommodate his suddenly hard shaft. Gods, she looked so beautiful when she was enjoying herself!

“Now that face is different,” he remarked in a slightly strangled tone.

Terra looked at him.

“What face?”

“The one you make when you genuinely like something.”

“Well, it’s really good.” She pointed her fork at him. “Try it—you’ll see.”

Taurex nodded and took a bite. Bright citrus flavor came first, sharp enough to cut through the sweetness, followed by the raspberry filling and a lighter cream than the other cakes.

It was so good Taurex stopped chewing and just let the flavors all melt on his tongue.

Terra watched him, smiling a little.

“Well?” she asked.

He swallowed.

“This one. This is the one.”

She laughed.

“See? I told you.”

“You were right,” Taurex said. He looked at Marcia. “This is the cake we want.

“Are you sure?” she asked. “You haven’t tried the others.”

“They are irrelevant.”

Marcia grinned.

“Well then, I guess we have a winner.”

Terra shook her head.

“Wait—we have to at least try the coconut. I love coconut.”
