God, Nick really is an arrogant and entitled clown isn't he.bondagefreak wrote: ↑2 years ago The man chuckled at first, asked me what was wrong and then tried again, only to have me turn him away and push against his pecs a second time. He tried to close the distance between us a third and fourth time before finally getting the message and coming to the realisation that his advances were not welcome.
This is deeply concerning, and not to mention, literally rape.bondagefreak wrote: ↑2 years ago I'd refused his advances a few times in the past, but usually still ended up being handgagged and bred anyway. He could be real sweet at times and was generally very loving and attentive, but even though he treated me with care, I often got the feeling that he thought of me as some kind of possession. A highly prized possession, but a possession nonetheless.
People aren't playthings and possessions Nick!
I'm going to be frank and give an opinion that the VAST majority of you are going to disagree with.
You know how adults aren't allowed to have sexual relations with children, and teachers aren't allowed to have sexual relations with students (even if they are both over 18) as a result of inherent power imbalances meaning they can't give consent? I think it's a very similar situation here. Steven is unable to give consent, purely because of the extreme power imbalance physically, financially, relationally, and socially. This relationship is extremely toxic for both Steven and Nick, and it needs to end or significant reforms and changes must be made.
Just my two cents tho
) I could have actually said that I grew a beard in my absence! 
) this time I agree with him. The whole kidnapping was a very traumatizing experience for him, and so I sympathies with his fear and agree with his anger. He has every right to be stubborn about it and give Nick the biggest cold shoulder. And I also connect with him on a personal level when he said that he found it hard to not even cuddle up to Nick in bed at night. Had I been in his place and had Zack been Nick I too would have been grumpy about what happened; yet I'd also need a protective ( or even over-protective ) hulk to make me feel safe, regardless of the carelessness, and craziness he had shown earlier. Maybe just get close to him, place myself between those tree-trunk thighs but specify that: " I'm still angry!". But that's already fan fiction 
*faints*
. The only option that works for me, is being Nick's friend/buddy. Nothing wrong with it though as that would hopefully mean I get to partake in the binding of his captive(s)
