The very first one WAS a dream.
Second one...tutor thought it was a dream again and extorted the Duke. So technically the Duke was raped.
Third one...the Duke got him drunk to interrogate and tutor thought it was a dream again and propositioned the Duke, again. It was more mutual drunk sex than rape.
Fourth one, yeah the Duke got pissed and made demands. He was jealous and thought that the tutor was aware of everything and just using him.
Fifth one, was due to the drugs. The Duke was basically being used by the tutor to relieve the poison...that was something they both acknowledged.
Sixth one, the Duke thinks they are dating and tutor thinks it's sex friends.
That's as far as I got because of a loading issue. Will read more later.
I’ve read some ridiculousness, but my patience has a limit. Multiple “I thought I was dreaming” s*x sequences almost back to back, then a misunderstanding, then a r*pe, then another r*pe, then more forced s*x to relieve the drugs from THAT r*pe, good grief I give up. I have whiplash for sure. And I’m only at chapter 28?? I’m not opposed to dark themes or even dark s*xual scenarios, they can work well if it’s supposed to be that type of story, but this tale is also trying to play itself off as as some kind of lighthearted comedy? The tones are everywhere. It feels like they didn’t actually know how to get things started between the Duke and the Tutor so they just went with the quickest, easiest route possible. Set-up and atmosphere not needed. Too bad, man. It’s a drop!
