Romancing the reader

A while back I participated in the following writing assignment:

In three sentences, “romance the reader" with the following words: desire, connection, magnetism, attraction, envy, power, indulgence.

Here’s what I wrote:

I have an insatiable desire to form a connection with you that transcends a simple magnetism or attraction. I want to make it so real, so strong, that it is the envy of all who observe. The power of this bond is their inescapable indulgence, like the unintentional voyeur who stumbles across lovers in a secluded outdoor rendezvous and can’t peel her eyes away from the steamy amorous scene.

Whew! Where’s the fan? Maybe I missed my calling as a romance novelist.
