And it wasn't the kind of casual desire that sometimes drifted through a man's head when he saw a pretty woman, an acknowledgment of her attractiveness, the vague question of what it would be like to take her to bed.

They were the kind of legs that made a man think of hot summer nights and cool linen sheets.
