You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which 'til now has been silent. Silent! I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already succumbed to me. Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me. Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. You've decided.

Past the point of no return. No backward glances. Our games of make-believe are at an end! Past all thought of if or when. No use resisting.

Abandon thought and let the dream descend! What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us? Past the point of no return. The final threshold. What warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return!
