Temptation — ring made of white and yellow gold with tourmaline, covered with black rhodium

She stood there, warmed by the last fading rays of the August sun. In her palms, a sweet fruit ripened under the pressures of desire and hunger. In an instant, we both faced temptation. 

For a moment, I imagined myself as the snake that once changed the course of history. However, unlike the archetypical beast, I had neither treachery nor cunning. I just stood there and silently praised God for his talents in drawing women. In a world full of masterpieces, my gaze sought only her. She will soon take her leave and only the scent of her former presence shall remain. She lives on in my eyes, alone with the hunger I felt then. And she is not mine. It seems that I am realizing this for the first time. Temptation can be as simple as a fresh sip of hormones that push a man forward and fill him with the power of desire.
