Just fulfilling your desires, Lisa!

Today's passage is from "One with the Night" by Susan Squires, a book that's all about romantic trysts in 1822 London.

She had to face the truth. She had never felt so alive, so connected to another person as she did with him; not her father, not her friends, and certainly not with Mr. Blandings. The act of sexual congress with Kilkenny might not be exactly transformation, but it had changed forever her perception of pleasure and intimacy. And she had to admit she wanted it again. Now would be ideal.

My favorite part? You guessed it: "sexual congress."

Brings new meaning to the term filiBUSTer.
