You can make someone think they're the enemy when in fact you are. You can make someone think they owe you something when in fact they don't. You can make someone feel they're making up stories against you when they're not. I know this because I did it to someone I loved and it was terrible.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to manipulate you." "Huh?" I asked, confused. "When I am attracted to someone, or they are attracted to me, I can manipulate them into doing what I want and I have no control over it." He said, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. "You're not forcing me to do anything." i mumbled, annoyed backing up from him.

And proceed the next steps one by one. He happily did what I said, move away from my action area and sat down on a chair. Contemplating me from where he sits! He grinned. A smile rose from his mouth.

Uses her body like equipment, but equipment he treasures. JAMES: The most complex and therefore most dangerous. Uses psychological dominance over physical force. Makes her want to submit more than forcing her to. Rough but interspersed with unexpected tenderness that confuses and disorients. Says things that get in her head. Most likely to make her question her own desires. Manipulative but in a way that feels intimate. "You'll experience all of us," Nicholas said. "Sometimes individually. Often together.

You know how to make men want you. You wear control like perfume. That's what makes you sort after…exotic…” My mouth fell open. “That’s not— I don’t do that on purpose.”

"But once I understood what you wanted, yes. I leaned into it. Let you believe the fantasy because it served my interests to have you searching for me, thinking about me, building resources I might eventually need." "That's..."

"That's survival," Serena corrected, no defensiveness in her tone. "You don't understand what it's like, Luca.
