"A means to an end, an end in itself."

Warm reception,
posh atmosphere,
soft touches,
stimulating conversation
enjoyed and remembered
but only parts of a prelude.

Tingling toes,
seduced senses,
engaged minds
all indulged.

Artistry encouraging reactions,
detecting desires,
fulfilling fantasies.

The apex,
the moment (or moments)
of intense ecstasy...

Just a bonus.
