The following quote is from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 67, “Greasier Than Grease.” Copyright©️ 2009 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“He should leave; she was afraid. He knew that. But he knew something else, too. It wasn’t him she was afraid of. Slowly, slowly, he put out a hand to her, the fingers moving without his will, slowly, as though to guddle a trout.
And by an expected miracle, but miracle nonetheless, her hand stole out toward his, trembling. He touched the tips of her fingers, found them cold. His own were warm, he would warm her.… In his mind, he felt the chill of her flesh against his own, noted the nipples hard against the cloth of her dress and felt the small round weight of her breasts, cold in his hands, the press of her thighs, chill and hard against his heat.
He was gripping her hand, drawing her back. And she was coming, boneless, helpless, drawn to his heat.
‘Thee must not,’ she whispered, barely audible. ‘We must not.’”
