Hi,
What exactly does the bold sentence in the following para from a novel mean?
Arun was incredibly hotheaded and jealous, and she had only to look languidly at the languid Billy for Arun to start smouldering somewhere deep inside. It might be wonderful to have a smouldering husband in bed later, Meenakshi reflected, but such advantages did not come unadulterated. Sometimes Arun would go into a smouldering sulk, and was quite spoilt for love-making.
Does it mean Arun had any many other choices, besides Meenakshi, for love-making or does it mean Arun was eager to make love with Meenakshi?
Thanks

Clarification: This is the point of view of the wife, Meenakshi, about her husban Arun. Arun is a man, Meenakshi is a woman.
