The chapter opens with a soliloquy in which the narrator laments the fact that it is too late for him to fall in love. He feels that he is "unattractive" and that his words are not enough to make up for his lack of feelings. He asks the narrator to show him how much he needs her in his life. The narrator asks him to "show how much I need her in my life" and to "bat тни'е completely deceived" by the narrator's kind voice. He tells the narrator that the moon is always bright here and that he should "turn ing-the-off" and "highlight your fair skin" . He then tells the reader that he has been "forced" to strip and tie himself up in order to "prick" him with his "lust" and make his heart race. He says that this is what he is demanding naked and that it makes his heart "race." He then says that he can feel the "smells" of his lover's lust and that this makes his "heart race." The narrator says that the core of his body "heats up" when he is touched by another man, and he says that his "it's flood" body is "sensitive" to the touch of another man. He claims that he will not stop until he has "started what phis hand" and has "everything about my body" touched.
