Her sultry, sensual voice held his attention.
“I want it hot. Sizzling and intense. I want to feel the heat on my tongue, licking down my throat, consuming the rest of my body. You see, I’ve been playing it safe for too long. Now let me burn. Make me sweat, make me beg for relief, make me come back for more. I don’t care if you think I’m wanton for these gratuitous demands. I don’t know you and I don’t care. Just don’t you dare leave me cold.”
The waiter nodded. “Ma’am, I’ll be back with your Thai Pepper Steak.”

eeeew! (i’m talking about the Pepper Steak).. hehehe.
Hahaha! Be brave, precious. With lots of water.
Eeeew! (Me, too.)
I should order my next dish of curry the same way. Great ending!
You should definitely do that. Let us know how it goes.
Delightful!
Well written. I saw this coming, but I still think it was well written. And I only think I saw it coming because I was poised not to be tricked again! LOL! Good job.
love this . . . I actually was thinking maybe you were going to the gym with this one.
It works.
well – except for the red dress part! laughing at myself now.
Thank you, Michael, June, and Barbara! I hope you had as much fun reading as I did while writing it.
I’m hereby holding you personally responsible for my current steak craving.
You are not alone. I tricked myself into craving spicy food in the wee hours of the morning.
Deana and I will be eating Thai food in your honor this Friday. We’ll toast our teas to you.
well written
I thank you deeply for that honor. Enjoy.
I totally bought it and was getting excited for you, encouraging you in your shameless demand of rightful pleasure.
I don’t eat meat
You made me laugh, Jennifer. That was the reaction I was going for. Thank you.
(I wonder if you’ve tried hot potato and onion curry. It’s always my favorite in this little vegetarian restaurant that I know.)
You know, I bet this has happened more than once…. Nice misdirection!
Thank you, my dear! I’m looking forward to reading your take on it.
yummmyyyy. i like them hot! yey for Thai Pepper Steak
Wow! You got me with that one! Good job!!!
Thank you, stef and Teresa! You made me smile.
Oh, my gosh! So awesome! Love it. Now I am hungry. For Thai food. Yeah, that’s it.
ROFL!! I didn’t see that final line coming! Great economy of language!
LOL nice one! Some of you know I love endings with a twist, especially in these drabbles. You definitely had me with this one!
Magnolia, e6n1 and Aurora,
I’m so glad you liked it. Thanks for reading!
Fantastic! I’ve only recently started reading your blog, so I was totally hooked in: “Is she really going there? So brave!!!” The ending was so great – I cracked up.
I hope you don’t mind that I shared it on FB (with link, of course)! 
Well done!
Thank you so much! Of course I don’t mind the link. I’m delighted that you like it, because I really had fun writing that post. Have a nice day.
Hehehe. I think y’all are going to have to go easy on the surprise twist endings. I’m on to you now.
But it was fun, even if I knew you were going to throw in a twist.
Yes, I think this only really catches the newbies. But it’s still fun. Bwahaha.
