Oof, thank god I'm not the only one who's thinking his affection was too abruptly. I think the novel manage to stretch the chapters of his sign showing affection.

I feel like I'd be more accepting of the ML's change of feelings if it didn't happen SO fast.
Like on the one hand, I totally get how Cayena's original behavior would repel him. Put simply, it was HARASSMENT. Touching someone however you want without their permission, following them around, attacking the people around them...that's crazy, harassing behavior just a few octaves below her husband's. I get that once someone is NOT acting that way and is being respectful of your boundaries and reasonable, there's the chance to get to know them and develop a relationship because it begins with mutual respect and friendship.
But the fact that his changeover happened almost IMMEDIATELY, really makes it come of as less a relationship that develops because of newly established mutual respect and more just 'now that she's not interested in me I MUST HAVE HER' trope that always annoys me. I just wished the author had made them friends and partners for a while before she made the ML fall in love.
Also, UNRELATED, but as someone who takes her bra off as soon as she gets home, I really respect the way the ML's tiddies are unleashed in EVERY scene where he's in his residence.
