This, My Body

A graphic tale of sex, food, and religion.  Antonio is a genetically engineered priest/sex slave whose skin produces chemicals called super-flavinoids, which improve the taste of food.  He utilizes his body to produce exquisite meals for his mistress.

I am the lover. I am the chef. I am the preterite priest.

I am the secret, unknowable ingredient. You may taste me a thousand times, but never hold my essence on your tongue or capture it in your memory.

I am the flavor of ecstasy. Taste me and know God.

–Prayer of the Assaisonnement Saints
