Orion leaned back on the couch, cake in hand, and with a grin, he stuffed the last piece into his mouth—frosting smeared across his fingers as he greedily chewed. The rich, sugary sweetness was perfect, and he couldn’t help but savor it. He wiped a hand across his lips, wiping off a bit of frosting, when he heard the door creak open.

He leaned back on the couch, acting like it was no big deal—after all, it’s just cake, right?
