blaize swept tessa off the verandah step and carried her straight to his bedroom , urgency in every stride , urgency in ridding both of them of clothes , pressing her naked body to the pulsating power of his , kissing her with hungry passion , hands working fast to free her hair from its constraint , burying his face in its luxuriant silkiness , arching her body into the hard muscularity of his , groaning a primitive satisfaction in the yielding softness of her femininity .
