for some reason, being at Sofia's mercy excited him. Maybe it was just the scent of her arousal and the pheromones she was emitting, and he would have gotten excited by any kind of scene she suggested. Well, except doing it in public. He was too reserved to enjoy exhibitionism. Then again, he'd also thought that he was too traditional and naturally dominant to enjoy being at a female's mercy. Not that he would really be helpless. Unless she used titanium alloy handcuffs, he could get free from any restraints, so fear was not part of the equation. Pain wasn't either. He wasn't a masochist. It was the power exchange, and also the atonement. He wanted her to forgive him, and he was willing to go to great lengths to clean the slate between them.
