Holding my gaze, he removed a curtain tie from one of the bedsteads. I was confused when he uttered huskily, Put your hands out in front of you. I obeyed.' Jane Eyre has lived a sheltered, callous life. Orphaned at a young age & despised by her remaining family, she is shipped off to Lowood School & can only dream of tenderness & affection. Upon accepting a governess position at Thornfield Hall, a world of passion, desire & sex explodes before her naive eyes in the form of the brooding, dashing master of the house: Mr Rochester. After playful attempts to evade Mr Rochester's advances, Jane finds herself succumbing to his savage, brutal lust & losing herself in the intense heat of her yearning. Jane believes that beneath Mr. Rochester's dark, handsome & sometimes brutal exterior there must be a heart, & she is desperate to find love in his hungry caresses. But then, she discovers something in the attic... & everything she thought she knew about Rochester is changed for ever. Sex collides with corsets in a burst of erotic ecstasy & dark secrets, & one of literature's finest novels will never be read the same again. ...
