“Our final item is rape fantasy.”
Ilias watched Josslyn’s face, waiting for her reaction.
She blinked, then let out a low, slow breath.
He didn’t know how to interpret that.
“And you…don’t want to do that one?” Josslyn asked after a moment.
“Do I want to rape you? No. I don’t. Because I’m not a hideous asshole.”
Josslyn’s intelligent gaze focused on him, eyes narrowing slightly.
“But you like having all the power,” Josslyn said gently.
He flinched, because that was true, and if one went purely by logic, his desire to be in control could be stretched to include a willingness to decide both if and when there would be sex.
“I like pushing subs to their limits,” he said slowly, “because it’s a way to make sure they get what they need.”
She nodded, no judgement in her gaze, though he did feel judged. He probably could have left it there, but Josslyn deserved the full truth.
“I like making the decisions about what a sub is and isn’t allowed to do with their body.”
“Not a service top,” Josslyn said.
“No,” he agreed. He knew plenty of Doms that would be categorized as service tops— those who used the power exchange as a way of taking care of their subs, and meeting subs’ needs. He took care of his sub’s needs too, but he needed the control for its own sake, not just as a tool that allowed him to ensure his sub was satisfied and happy.
“Rape fantasy is incredibly common,” she said.
“I know.”
“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to—”
“Wanting to rape someone?” He knew the word had come out harsh. “Yes, there is.”
Josslyn untucked her legs, putting her feet on the floor.
“Rape is about power, not sex,” she said.
He nodded, because that was the point.
“You and I, we already like to mess around with power. Twenty-four hours ago, I didn’t know you and yet I willingly engaged in a power exchange with you. The first time I saw you I knelt for you. I initiated the power exchange with that physical action.”
Ilias nodded, agreeing with her words, but his throat was too tight for him to add anything.
“Rape fantasy is probably the original power exchange fantasy.”
He grimaced at that. “True.”
Josslyn shifted to sit beside him taking one of his hands in both of her own. “Ilias, if you don’t want to do this, then we’re not doing it. I’m not going to ask you to do something that will make you feel bad about yourself.”
“I’m that obvious?”
“Well…yes. I mean it’s fairly obvious why you’re so twitchy about this.”
“I’m not twitchy.”
“You’re a little twitchy. But that’s fair. You’re a Dom. By definition, you understand consent better than 99 percent of the population.”
