watpadd-y. also there’s a lot i think you can get away with when reading something that you’d hate in real life (almost all dark romances) but this was ridiculous my heart just broke for her. 
He doesn’t discuss boundaries before doing anything (which of course turns out awfully with her being retramutised) which makes it assault and also sends her into shock as he basically recreates the most traumatic moments of her life. 

and then goes on to say (while having sex with her) he’s nothing like her dad even though he put her in the exact same situation he put her in against her will

 

he feels bad but then says he’d never apologise are you fucking kidding me. he never does aftercare even when he’s supposedly falling for her (he does after he assaults her whoopdydoo - but even that was more consoling her) fucking hate this guy also his whole broody thing fuck off, firstly very wattpaddy also you can’t even begin to compare his past to hers.
