“I know you,” Pavel stated. “I see you. You’re desperate to be needed, but you don’t trust anyone will actually invest their time and energy into you. Despite your loneliness, you prefer surface-level relationships because it’s safer. This applies to friendships as well. If you’re the one who draws that line in the sand, you feel like the distance between you and others is your choice. I don’t just want to breed you, Zane. I want to connect with you through more than just my cock. I want everything you are and everything you’ll ever be and more, and I want all of that to be mine.”
