George and Elliot knew letting lust consume them was a bad and dangerous thing, but they couldn't bring themselves to slow down. They had a strong physical attraction and no matter how hard they tried to spend one night just cuddling, they always ended up in a sweaty, exhausted heap. They felt a little ashamed of themselves, sometimes, that they never got control of their libidos.

However, they knew there was more to their relationship than lust. Lust was a factor, but they were in love enough so that they never worried that it was just sex. They just had to be careful to keep a balance. They could do that, they were sure of it.
