Even though I know she’s just a character someone dreamed up for a smutty plot, I feel really bad for Mira. She has childhood trauma that is keeping her from speaking her mind with her grandmother at the heart of it. This CEO is NOT helping her in the right way at all.
During chapter 4, he should have just stopped and talked to Mira more after hearing some of the reason why she was scared to speak up, but he instead pushed her to do more sexual things. Yes, she was aroused from grabbing the leash and I get that he has the collar and he’s aroused by her lustful thoughts, but he has way more strength and can stop himself from going too far. Sure, she asked for more, but only after the CEO pushed beyond her boundaries to arouse her further.
I honestly like the overall concept (reencounter, guy wearing collar, d/s stuff), but how it was written kind of turns me off to wanting to read more. This really could have been better.
On a side note:
I know an old woman who has a “gift” like Mira. She can see things—many of which she did not want to know or remember. As a child, she asked her aunt why there was “black stuff” around her, then her mother dragged her into another room and shook her by the shoulders. She was harshly scolded by her mother to never say or speak of the things she saw ever again. Her mother’s sister (the aunt) died two days later, which scared her so badly as a child.
Even though she could see “Death” on people, she chose to never speak of it to anyone who had the “black stuff” around them again. And it turned out that her mother also had that “gift,” which she (the mother) cursed every day until her own death.
