Kindle Notes & Highlights
In my relationship with Paul, I’d been in the position of eroticising the giving of pleasure rather than the taking of it. To do it, I’d performed some kind of mental gymnastics early in my marriage that made it A-OK for me to get Paul panting, even if he rolled over in bed and fell asleep right after he got what he wanted, not feeling like he needed to return the favour. No, love isn’t transactional; it isn’t tit-for-tat. But damn me if it doesn’t wither and die when only one person is doing all the giving.
Had any woman looked at me like Nat did, to really see me? I was pretty sure they never had.
Lars is thinking about past conquests during his first time with Nat!?! WTF? NO! It pulled me right out of the story and killed the heat. This is even worse than hearing about ALL the women Thorn has fucked.
