    Marla, perched on her opulent chaise lounge, was an intriguing mix of beauty and enormity. Her eyes gleamed with a playful glint, as she swirled her martini glass.

    John, an old friend of Marla's, was taken aback by her transformation. He was visiting her after years, and her change was beyond his wildest imagination.

    Marla, sensing John's unease, decided to break the silence. With a seductive smile, she asked him to feed her, using her charm to hide her desperate need.

    John, although confused, obliged Marla. He fed her, bite after bite, as she relished the food, her eyes closing in pure bliss with each morsel.

    Marla's insatiable hunger alarmed John. He realized that her seduction was a mere ruse to get him to feed her.

    John, now visibly uncomfortable, decided to confront Marla. He asked her about her obsession with food, his voice shaking with concern.

    John, shocked and saddened, promised to help Marla. He realized that his friend was battling an addiction and needed professional help.
