The Coquette chapter one : Who is a Coquette

Who is a COQUETTE?

A coquette is hot & cold, she constantly stirs up hope then disappointments. She is the deadliest woman you could ever meet. Her seduction unlike that of a Siren, appears innocent and not premeditated. She is the kind of woman that reels you in with signs of affection love and lust; and easily show hints of the  same affection to mostly everyone in your circle all in an innocent manner with no visible motive and a childlike approach.

She quickly moves from being an object of attraction & lust to a bone of contention in every circle she finds her self.  She stirs up a chain reaction of envy, jealousy, inflated egos;  She becomes the standard to which everyone else evaluates their value and esteem.  She heightens the most animistic nature of man "RIVALRY". In a Century where the lines of sexual orientations are blurred the power of a Coquette is gender-less and limitless.

I have met a Coquette, and her grip was devastating. She led a siege against my fortress of Calm. I consulted the archives: Caesar couldn't escape Cleopatra; Mark Anthony became a slave; Troy couldn't escape the face that lunched a thousand ships; Agamemnon couldn't avoid the lure to reinforce his ego. 

Ninon  de  l'Enclos  drove the prominent men of the 17th Century French court crazy because  she only offered her sexual favors as an award to one man Pa time. One man whom she deemed to be the most important man in France. Soon she became the single standard of prominence in 17th century France. 

If Casanova Giovanni the greatest seducer and rascal couldn't escape the grip of the Nun of Murano; then how can I escape this Coquette? 

Help!!!  Help!!! Help!!! i cried; where are my Kings? 

One after the other they all fell prey to the lure of her innocence, each saying to himself "I would conquer her & prove my Superiority over others". All my allies raged against each other and i. This only made her move from trying to conquer me to being the prize of the Conquest of Kings.

Fair is her skin; She moved closer as we sat on the setting Sun, she moved closer taking sharp seductive glimpses at my lips and . . . . . .
