I am ready, love, for you and all that you mean. When I touch your skin do not expect me to quake, and know that your kiss will not leave me unarmed or unnerved. You are better served by a steady hand, and confident lips, and the gentle curve of your hip will only make me sure.
I am ready, love, for all that you should require. Do not fear that the fire of your gaze will scorch me, or that I will wilt and wither under your hand. I will not pale, as I hear men have, beside your charm. It can do me no harm to love you more.
