Kiss me with the tongue of a venomous serpent. Caress me with fingers analogous to the legs of a black widow. Trace my outline with the tail of a scorpion, and I'll tell you how much it stings. I am immune to your advances. None of your toxins can incapacitate me for long. I've played this game too many times to be weakened. In the end, it will be you who succumbs.
