Temptation

There he stands, only knee-deep in the water and the moisture glistening off his naked body. Muscles taut, body lean, dark hair the color of night and dripping droplets of water glistening like stars. He is temptation, the Captain of Gondor. Boromir bends to splash more water on his body, then turns to fix his eyes on me! His silver-grey gaze shows he knew I was here all along. "My lady?" he beckons me to join him. For a few fleeting moments, I contemplate running, but the temptation is too strong. I rise from my place, disrobe, and join him.
