'whisked away' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hurry into bed' is the wordplay.
'hurry' becomes 'rush' (synonyms).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'rush' going within 'bed' is 'BRUSHED'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for brushed that I've seen is " Red bush (anag.)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
