Writing good erotica is rather like writing good religious discussions. No matter how profoundly writers may feel, either can come across as clinical or cloying or both.
When writing romances, I focus instead on indirect statements which leave as much as possible to the reader's imagination. And a great writer who uses a similar approach is Deanna Raybourn.
In the Lady Julia Grey series, Lady Julia Grey and investigator Nicholas Brisbane form a relationship that from Day One involves a certain amount of animal magnetism. At one point during the investigation, during a confrontation in the park, Lady Julia, the narrator, is interrupted in the middle of an apology:
"Brisbane, say something. If you wish to strike me, do it and get it over with. I know you are frightfully angry, and you have every right."
I stopped then because he made me. He did not strike me; instead he did something I had never expected. He reached for me. It was some time before he let me go.
Yup, it's exactly what you imagine.
And well-rendered as well.
