The results have been tantalizing, annoying, provocative, stimulating, and, at least until recently, substantially inconclusive.
Итог получился дразнящим, внушающим беспокойство, провокационным, побуждающим к действию и оставался, по крайней мере до последнего времени, существенно неполным.

He took control back, drinking deeply of her silken mouth, his tongue stroking down the line of her throat, lingering over her pulse, his teeth scraping, tantalizing, while his body took aggressive possession, plunging deep and hard.
Он взял себя в руки и жадно впился в ее губы. Его язык ласково скользнул по ее горлу, задержался на трепещущей жилке. Его зубы царапали, мучая, пока он овладевал ею, погружаясь глубоко и мощно.

No stones have as yet been dislodged from the summit to be sent hurtling down, but, as we now discuss, a few tantalizing and promising pebbles certainly have.

They listen for a minute and it does not stop; the wild feeble warning, broken by tantalizing gaps of silence, goes on and on.
С минуту они слушают, но крик не умолкает; отчаянное, бессильное предостережение прерывается мучительными промежутками тишины, а потом раздается опять.
