Nicely done. The sonnet seems to have fallen off its pedestal in modern poetry, at least for some, but I still like them when they don't sound like hyper-Victorian love poems. This doesn't. I like the tension in it, the desire masked as questions. I also like the way you switched the rhyme scheme starting in line 5 to include some internal rhyme, and near rhyme (angel, fable, handle). There was a little too much end stopping rhyme for my liking, although I did like line 6, and with the variations already mentioned, that's a quibble on my part.
