months…trying to figure out why Magnus had such a hold on…
““months…trying to figure out why Magnus had such a hold on me. He was nothing like the men I typically went for…though I didn’t really have a “type.” It was the control thing. In that, he had it in spades and the last thing I wanted was to be controlled. Then why the fuck did the idea of Magnus pinning me down and taking me however he wanted and for as long as he wanted turn me on instead of off?””
