taking up from where i left off...

I think it's the story of the forbidden fruit all over again. Except in this case, it isn't necessarily forbidden; just out of reach. At least for the moment. And just the fact that it' s peeping out from behind the leaves, all plump and inviting, smiling coquetishly, inviting you to come over and get it knowing fully well that though you so want to you're very hesitant, is enough to triple it's appeal and your desire. Just the idea of making it yours is so attractive.

So what do you do? Throw caution to the wind, reach out an eager hand, pluck it off and take the fatal bite? Fatal not because you're going to die, but because once you give in, your inhibitions are for all practical purposes dead forever. Or do you remain content just flirting - just heightening the sensation to the point of no-return, and then pulling back? Or do you say goodbye, turn around, and walk away?
