Diana Gabaldon, Voyager

He had been in her half a hundred times by now, but always beneath furs, with others all around them. He had never seeen how beautiful she was. Her legs were skinny and well muscled, the hair at the juncture of her thighs a brighter red than that on her head. Does that make it even luckier? He pulled her close.

"Aye. I...I liked it some. No one taught you such?"

"There's been no one," he confessed. "Only you.
