What many of us experience in a glass of wine isn’t wine per se, but another part of ourselves, a sensual and free part of ourselves that seldom comes out because the ‘real’ world is in constant opposition to it.
I love to watch the moonlight, as it plays upon the ground.. The way it strikes the snow just right, and sparkles all around. Showing us the way to walk, and playing in your hair.. It shines just so and then it shows, our breath upon the air. Our Love is like the moonlight, it shows us where to walk..
On nights like these within these trees, it listens to us talk. I pledge my love to you this night, with witness from above.. I'll be just like our moonlight, and cover you with love.
I'll softly chase the shadows, that may haunt you in the day.. Then when the night is calling, I'm here to show the way. Like creatures of the forest night, that venture forth on wing.. The moonlight is our music, forever it shall sing. So dance with me tonight my love, and throw your cares away..
I'll hold you close and keep you safe, till the coming of the day...
Welcome... Your hand in mine, may I take your coat...please sit. "Coup de foudre"

A rare French Perigord truffle is then surrounded by this rich decadent ganache; it is enrobed in Valrhona dark chocolate and then rolled in fine cocoa powder. The result is pure extravagance!

"Everything you do seduces me. All you need to do is breathe and I would do anything for you."
It was the wildness of it that got me going: the primal lust, the sheer needs of two people in heat, quickly finding ways to express their sacred hunger to each other in animal passion.
It was the impatience of the way he tore my panties from my body, that really turned me on: I was all he could think of, as his lust got the better of him. I glanced back, and saw the underwear torn and discarded, a little strip of thin black material on the floor, and thought, Yes, this is the kind of impatient sex I’m looking for. The way they looked so small, and cruelly forgotten, was a beautiful symbol of how much we both needed to satisfy our lusts...
