He stares at me–taking me in–with his lips slightly parted. I struggle to hold myself in place as we gawk at each other. I want so desperately to run, but something is holding me back, keeping me in place.

About This Quote

The most common sexual fantasy is that of a perfect stranger. This is the fantasy in which we gaze upon a person and our mind instantly becomes blank. He stares at me—taking me in—with his lips slightly parted. I struggle to hold myself in place as we gawk at each other.

I want so desperately to run, but something is holding me back, keeping me in place. What am I afraid of? What is holding me back from running away from this situation?
