            She reminds him of chocolate.

            When he tells Lance, Lance ruffles his hair and asks him if he wants a taste. She looks completely innocent, although what he is thinking about is anything but. Red smacks her, lightly though, for always making him sex-crazy, and then kisses her. His wife does not look impressed.

            Being with her is a kind of mixed experience. In one way, it’s absolutely wonderful, but in another, it reminds him of everything he left behind.

            It’s an awfully hard secret to keep, and he wishes there wasn’t this element of subterfuge to their relationship. They both know that it’s safer this way – should the media get wind of the marriage, the rumors will be flying. First, there will be all the speculation about their marriage (or more accurately, their sex life), and then every time one of them is caught on camera or video with another person, oh, heavens! Celebrities are always having affairs!

Sometimes it’s exciting, having fame, when they can use it to win public support, but at other times, he just wishes the world would leave them alone.

            But now, as he kisses Lance, he has to confess that it’s a lot better than chocolate… bitter or not.

            She shakes her head, as if she knows what he’s thinking, and sighs.

Yes, I know that this theme isn’t chocolate, but that was what popped into my mind when I looked at the prompt. Must be all the baking one can do in the summer when one has free time…
