“She also crawls to him.” Maverick grins. “That’s an underrated microtrope if you ask me.” “Remember that other book where the guy tells her to lose her ring and crawl? Hell.” Grant fans his face. “I wish I had the balls to say that to a woman. I wouldn’t be able to get the words out.” I wonder if I could get Lexi to crawl to me. She’d probably put up a fight and flat-out refuse in the name of feminism, but I bet I could convince her by crawling to her first. I’m all for an equal power dynamic if it means watching her temporarily hand over control again.
