Banter/Fun Alphas and their sweet tooth

Does anyone else find it goddamn adorable when a super alpha hero like military or mafia has a massive sweet tooth?? Something about a possessive and dangerous hero melting for a cupcake sends me into giggles and feet kicking EVERY TIME. Tell me it’s not just me??

I recently read a fantasy RH series with an MMC who is, essentially, an actual deity of the ocean, and he doesn’t need to eat because he’s a source of endless power anyways, but he ONLY eats sweets and it’s truly delightful.

It also gives him bad gas which is hilarious.

It reminds me of the movie 'Meet Joe Black' where Brad Pitt plays Death, and there's that memorable scene where he, as Death, discovers peanut butter and it becomes his favourite.

Ugh, I loved this in {Hans by S.J. Tilly}. It was especially funny because the FMC was actually a terrible baker and they were all awful, but he was too obsessed with her and ate them anyways lol
