No he doesn't rape her per say. There are some growing pains in the bedroom and the first night of nuptials on one partners end is a little rough due to being intoxicated.

Does the plot mostly revolve around sexual tension/desire and therefore is shallow? Here's what I mean. Ooooh, he wants her. Ooooh, she wants him. But... (There always has to be a but.) Yes, there are "circumstances." Uh-huh. Circumstances that prevent immediate satisfaction. But if only our lusty hero and heroine can wait until they overcome those circumstances... Shallow as a mud puddle in a drought.
