“Oy, Brian… honestly, sometimes I just wanna smack your
pussy-arse upside the head. Your warped
sense of submission is quite frankly irritating to say the least. Who’s the servant and who’s the master is
just a matter of perception and you need to get with the programme. Who directs the fricking horse? Um, yeah, that’d be the rider!”
Okay, enough said. I’m
not a crazy person, actually. I do know
the book is fiction and Brian is just a figment of Nicholas Bella’s amply
endowed imagination. Kudos to him that
he can get me so frustrated with a fictional character because Brian’s acting…
well, I guess, just like a real person would in his situation, but I’m a little
tired of all the sulking and whining and the perceived slight to his
masculinity, because he doesn’t want to be ‘the girl ’ – read ‘submissive’ here. Honestly, like that’s even true – any femme
fatale would tell his attitude to take a hike, and grow a set.
Can’t say this was my favourite episode so far – I’m hoping
it’s just a transitional period and in the next he pulls out of it. I liked Brian far better in Hijinks (««««1/2 for
that one, btw) when he was coming to terms with his relationship with Raphael
and taking his lumps from Adriel just ‘like a man’. He seemed to realise his power there, and
then somehow in this episode he lost it. I was sorely disappointed too, with all of his
blunders – but I guess you’ve got to learn and grow, and just as painful as his
failures were for him to experience, it was painful for me to read it too – only
because I am invested now.
And besides the hot, harrowing sex-capades, that is one of
the things I like about Nicholas Bella’s books, the ability to draw you in and
really root for characters that often are very flawed and perhaps even,
sometimes, a little ‘evil’.
