Sucking up (9)
I believe the answer is:
absorbing
'sucking up' is the definition.
('absorb' can be a synonym of 'suck up')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for absorbing that I've seen before include "Eating in" , "most entertaining" , "Engrossing" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
