OH NY GKD ITS THE HOLLOW LOVERS AUTHOR THIS SHIT WILL BE GREAT
I think this progressed way to quickly on Hayden's end for someone who was literally tricked into this
in his defense, he bonded which he didn't have a choice in, it was biological right. so he knows he quite literally can't live without brett
Also the pleasure of finally being able to relieve himself of hiding how strong of an alpha also helped. Before he met Brett he said how disgusting it was to have those pheremones and spread them around. now he never mentions it since he's come to accept that part of himself especially when with Brett
Agree with you guys entirely but like I said development is way toooooo quick because clearly it was Brett who started this it's a bit typical.
I think he just wants some advice from him and cannot obviously ask like a normal person
Okay let's not forget the MC is such a dumb ass he really not for one minute has considered he's been in love with the ML since their time in the military he thinks it's a fleeting attraction which has been fleeting for the past 10 years
Art is so good but smut weirdly not smutty but a turn off even if you remove the rape from equation
it's tricky here. being a virgin in this situation, and like ... but, the duty of the wife is well established. the kid is scared, not mentally prepared, so for sure, it's not ideal. but it's about duty here, not choice. and the person who dictates that is the one with higher social stranding.
objectively, the husband did a thorough prep to make the encounter less burdensome for the MC. But there is some other kind of underlying trauma at play here too, like why the MC refuses to kiss the ML, and the extreme level of tension and stress throughout the whole encounter, might hint at something else having happened to him. (he's pretty.. he was a fallen Nobel forced into slavery, it doesn't take much to imagine what he might have suffered). *sigh*
mmm.... .......I like to overanalyze everything.
Okay when is the plot moving
