it 'd started earlier that morning and grown progressively worse all day . theres no way theyll be ready for dinner at six . you dont know how much i wanted to see you today . his voice was deep , causing shivers to flow through my body . `` i know you 're hungry , '' i said , trying to comfort him . its a habit thats hard to break . how could he forget how much he wanted him - the burning desire that he felt there and then , and would stay with him long into the night ?
