and perhaps most importantly, he was damned stubborn.
Always the most important
Simon’s head filled with more erotic images, this time of himself licking her toes.
Buddy a toe licker
Oh, damn.
Me when the jokes land too hard
what could have happened to this man to make him lie to himself for so many years?
Wouldn't u like to know, mystery inc?
And in the end, it was inevitable.
I.AM. INEVITABLE. *Thanos kiss. smoochie smoochie
With shaking hands, he reached for the delicately scalloped neckline of her gown. It was a gentle fit, and he knew it would take no more than the lightest push to ease the delicate silk down over the swell of her breast.
Bro just full throttle going for it
“You bastard!”
Period, they should get a room
“I don’t know,” she admitted. “But I’ve heard rumblings. By tomorrow it will be all over London.”
Girl. ain't no way.
And although she barely dared think it, maybe he was wrong. Maybe he could have children.
Girl ain't no way you're becoming the villain
Violet scooted back, clearly uncomfortable with Daphne’s obvious interest.
Oh noooo sexual repressionnnn
All because he couldn’t face Daphne’s questions about his childhood.
He should probably communicate but ig itsnotv manly or some shit
He’d told her he couldn’t have children. He’d lied to her.
Girl no.
“Why, Simon?” She practically shouted the words.
I mean does it matter
There were some things a man didn’t want to deal with naked.
Understandable
“I told you that before we married. I gave you every option to back out. Don’t you forget that,” he said hotly. “Don’t you dare forget it.” “You made me feel sorry for you!”
She's being very icky tbh
“I will never have children,” he hissed. “Never. Do you understand?” “No.”
Oh no she's dumb and a brat
Dear God, what was she going to do?
Stop being dramatic and understand the person she claims to love? no? oh ok
To say that men can be bullheaded would be insulting to the bull. Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, 2 June 1813
I SINCERELY hope this isn't underlined bc people think Daphne is right.
Simon started to shake with rage. “I own this room,” he growled. “I own you.”
Yike
“Your actions, your choices—” she continued, her eyes growing very sad, “They have nothing to do with you, with what you want, or what you need. Everything you do, Simon, every move you make, every word you speak—it’s all just to thwart him.”
That's the first sensible thing she's said
He shifted restlessly, and Daphne felt the strangest, most intoxicating surge of power. He was in her control, she realized. He was asleep, and probably still more than a little bit drunk, and she could do whatever she wanted with him. She could have whatever she wanted.
Honey that is rape. don't rape him.
His eyes pinned upon her with a strange, pleading sort of look, and he made a feeble attempt to pull away. Daphne bore down on him with all her might.
hey girl you just raped your husband.
He saw the expression of pure ecstasy on her face, and then he suddenly realized—she had done this on purpose. She had planned this. Daphne had aroused him in his sleep, taken advantage of him while he was still slightly intoxicated, and held him to her while he poured his seed into her.
Yea actually incredibly disgusting of her
She shrank back. “I guess there are still some things you can say,” she said in a small, sad voice.
Girl shut the FUCK up what the hell
“Did what?” Daphne cried, pulling a sheet around her. “Simon, stop this. What did I do that was so wrong? You wanted me. You know you wanted me.”
you absolute dumbass bitch
The single sheet of paper slipped from Daphne’s fingers and floated slowly to the floor. A harsh sob escaped her throat, and she pressed her fingers to her mouth, as if that might possibly stem the tide of emotion that was churning within her. He’d left her. He’d actually left her.
What on gods green earth did you think would happen after RAPING HIM?
but she’d always assumed that if she worked hard enough for something, treated everyone the way she would like to be treated, then she would be rewarded.
Would.... would you like to be raped? bc that's what you did
Closing her eyes, she sent up a prayer. Please God please, she begged, let there be a child.
God you're so stupid
She wasn’t ashamed of her actions. She supposed she should be, but she wasn’t.
Completely unrepentant rapist is not a good look
After another week, though, she found herself smiling each morning, holding on to her secret as she would a treasure.
This is actually disgusting.
There was no better medicine for a broken heart.
U broke ur own heart
“It wasn’t about—what I did?” His eyes met hers evenly. “I didn’t like what you did.” “But that wasn’t why you left?” she persisted. There was a beat of silence, and then he said, “It wasn’t why I left.” Daphne hugged her knees to her chest, pondering his words. All this time she’d thought he’d abandoned her because he hated her, hated what she’d done, but in truth, the only thing he hated was himself.
And also u fucked up
“If you don’t want a child because you don’t want one, that’s one thing. But if you deny yourself the joy of fatherhood because of a dead man, then you’re a coward.”
Really should've said that INSTEAD of raping him
Nothing in life had ever felt that good before.
Just a little rape to make a breeder out of him
