Chapter Ten

Despite the unspoken competition between them to exert control on one side and overbear it with headlong passion on the other, as Orlando and Perdita they managed to fit a lot of loving into the bare week they agreed to take from real life for wanting, and having, each other. Freya discovered the heady power of a touch or a look to tease her lover into such a stew of frustrated need that, by the end of a long day’s work, he was incoherent with passion for her by the time the children were safely abed and asleep.

She learnt how it felt to be so urgently wanted there was no question of refined couplings in the chastely curtained box-bed when he dragged her outside into his workshop, after a long and particularly fretful evening, to be hastily kissed and urgently taken on the workbench he padded with his discarded jacket with only slightly muffled enjoyment out here for the sake of not waking his children.
