i mean the only logical explanation i have is that he needed release through pain and having the ml fulfilling his wishes just after heaving his voice and knowing he's upset felt like an act of affection towards him...?
Was thinking of the same thing, and it may also be due to the reasons that it would take a lot/burden the 'normals' to grant him his wishes knowing that he's extensively hardcore with his approach. Or more simply said, other ppl who's not into bdsm wouldn't be able to cater to his emotional needs in this case due to his nature.
icb i'm only reading this now the me who loves anything that has to do with bdsm and vampires is screaming rn but as much as i loved this one i find the end a bit rushed not in terms of events but when it comes to their relationship there could be at least 4-5 extra chaps to rewards us for all the shed blood and tension
everything is perfect the story the characters the art i enjoyed reading this a lot and i'm actually reading it for the second time but i'm sadly and painfully pretending that scene didn't happen like what was the point?????? how can one assault someone they 'supposedly' love???? even if it was part of 'pushing him away' so he hates him more, that was a bit stretching it, no? i'm lowkey sick of how normalised sa and rape is in nowadays' stories
