Does anyone like The Highwayman? I'm currently working on an erotica based off of the poem and I found myself up against a predicament. I can't decide whether I want to stick with them just having their kiss or to make the moment a little more than that and have them make love. Thoughts anyone?

If you haven't read the poem, I recommend it!

THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
