There, setting her on his knee, and gliding one hand over the surface
of that smooth polished snow-white skin of hers, which now doubly shone
with a dew-bright lustre, and presented to the touch something like
what one would imagine of animated ivory, especially in those
ruby-nippled globes, which the touch is so fond of and delights to make
love to, with the other he was lusciously exploring the sweet secret of
nature, in order to make room for a stately piece of machinery, that
stood up-reared, between her thighs, as she continued sitting on his
lap, and pressed hard for instant intromission, which the tender Emily,
in a fit of humour deliciously protracted, affected to decline, and
elude the very pleasure she sighed for, but in a style of waywardness,
so prettily put on, and managed, as to render it ten times more
poignant; then her eyes, all amidst the softest dying languishment,
expressed, ait once a mock denial and extreme desire, whilst her
sweetness was zested with a coyness so pleasingly provoking, her moods
of keeping him off were so attractive, that they redoubled the
impetuous rage with, which, he covered her with kisses: and kisses
that, whilst she seemed to shy from or scuffle for, the cunning wanton
contrived such sly returns, of, as were, doubtless the sweeter for the
gust she gave them, of being stolen ravished.
Thus Emily, who knew no art but that which nature itself, in favour of
her principal end, pleasure, had inspired her with, the art of
yielding, coy’d it indeed, but coy’d it to the purpose; for with all
her straining, her wrestling, and striving to break from the clasp of
his arms, she was so far wiser yet than to mean it, that in her
struggles, it was visible she aimed at nothing more than multiplying
points of touch with him, and drawing yet closer the folds that held
them every where entwined, like two tendrils of a vine intercurling:
together: so that the same effect, as when Louisa strove in good
earnest to disengage from the idiot, was now produced by different
motives.
Mean while, their emersion out of the cold water had caused a general
glow, a tender suffusion of heightened carnation over their bodies;
both equally white and smooth-skinned; so that as their limbs were thus
amorously interwoven, in sweet confusion, it was scarce possible to
distinguish who they respectively belonged to, but for the brawnier,
bolder muscles of the stronger sex.
