His heart pounded in his chest, a relentless drum urging him on, while his mind screamed for caution. The emotions swirling within him were overwhelming, a tempest of desire, fear, and longing.

He could feel every cell of his body begging him to touch her face. Even once. It was like a traveler in the desert, hungry for the thirst of water on his tongue, and then before his eyes was a beautiful Oasis.

However, if he drank from it, he would certainly die.
