    It is awfully erotic.

    The two are both similes. The like in both cases marks a simile. I wish hyperbole was there. I'd choose that.

    d) simile

    Explanation:

    A simile is a figure of speech that aims to make writings and speeches more colorful and memorable by comparing one thing, situation or person to another while using the words "as," and "like." The sentence uses this literary device because it describes a situation by comparing "my body" and "her words and gestures" to something else while employing the word "like."
