    There is a fantastic little French novel called Lobster about exactly this.

    A lobster survives, after seeing his father be eaten, only to fall in love with the woman who ate his father. The novel is the story of his pursuit and erotic encounter with his father’s devourer.

    From goodreads (fuck Amazon):

    Aboard the Titanic, Lobster watches Angelina devour his father, before being plucked out of the aquarium himself. Just as he is put in the boiling pot, the ship hits the iceberg and the pot is thrown to the floor. Lobster survives, with some changes: he finds himself sexually attracted not only to a human, but to the very human who ate his father. He gives her one life-changing orgasm before their tragic separation, following an ugly incident in one of the lifeboats.
