inducement fails

"Nothing could induce
me to do that," she coolly
cooed.

"Nothing could induce
me to do that," she purred,
coolly like a cat whose
sharpness of paw proves
a stroke upon fur goes all
wrong-way despite such
seeming-soft, inviting
fluff and gloss. 

"Nothing could seduce me
to do that," she rasped
in a harsh, grating
falsetto baritone
that rang like
hollow iron,
her eyes
flashing deadly-dully,
her expression blank and
stiff as an unidentified corpse.

Yet...
something...
...bewitching in her body
language told him yeah, you
know what? Go with the literal
level, here. Meant just
AS-IS,
never-
you
-mind
