He wanted her with all the capacity of one-Woman man with his whole heart and soul.
 Nathaniel gave silent thanks that she was alone when he arrived, for he knew that he could not have trusted himself to meet her without manifcstng deep feeling. One touch of her fingers and little rivers of desire were coursinc all over his body. She had no chance of pre- venting him from sweeping her into his arms and covering her face with kisses. He etrode across to her from the door and took her so without one word passing between them.
