He could have let the primal urge dominate his thoughts, reducing Maya to nothing more than a body he wanted to possess. That would have been easy, a fleeting moment of gratification that would soon dissolve into emptiness. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the phrase he’d heard—so blunt, so devoid of tenderness—was a false promise. It offered a rush, but no depth, no connection, no meaning.
