It was rather delicious, to feel her drawing his self-revelations from him, as from the very innermost dark marrow of his body.

She wanted to know.
And her dark eyes seemed to be looking through into his naked organism.
He felt, she was compelled to him, she was fated to come into contact with him, must have the seeing him and knowing him.

And this roused a curious exultance.

Also he felt, she must relinquish herself into his hands, and be subject to him.

She was so profane, slave-like, watching him, absorbed by him.
