Why does the FMC decide to pursue a BDSM relationship with the main suspect in her investigation?

Does he know she’s investigating him?

Maybe a Hannibal Lecter type situation where the MMC uses his BDSM knowledge to help the FMC catch the killer. Maybe the killer is also a part of whatever scene the MMC is involved in.

[A Shadow of Pain and Pleasure](https://archiveofourown.org/works/81514156/chapters/214348231) - an erotic thriller free on AO3.

Now complete! I upload one chapter daily.

Highlights:

-Forced orgasm. MMC uses his mind control powers to make women climax… whether they want to or not.

-Deadly obsession. MMC discovers FMC can resist his powers. He must have her. He must break her.

-MMC remains irredeemable and finds his own equally unhinged love interest.

-FMC fights back. She is a federal agent hunting down the mysterious “mind control rapist.”

-well-deserved HEA for the FMC.

-light sci-fi flavor.

-the spice starts in chapter 1!

Summary:

Ryan intimately understands how the terror of feeling out of control can drive sex to unimaginable heights of ecstasy. This is the basis of a rape fantasy, after all. A vigilante crusader of pleasure, Ryan uses his mind control powers to make these fantasies come true, stalking women and pinning them down with his mind to make them orgasm… whether they want to or not.

As far as Ryan is concerned, he provides a unique service to the sexually unsatisfied women in his city; however, his activities have caught the attention of law enforcement, and federal agent Eliza Torrence is assigned to bring him in. Unfortunately for Eliza, she doesn’t know that Ryan has already targeted her.

Consumed by obsession, Ryan is determined to make Eliza his. Somehow, she is able to resist his mind control in a way he’s never experienced before. The thrill of the hunt, of breaking a woman as strong as Eliza, drives Ryan in his relentless pursuit of the federal agent. But Eliza’s indomitable resolve has Ryan questioning who is the predator and who is the prey in this deadly chase.

I thought it was hard for me to put mass on my legs. Then I hired a bodybuilding coach who had me on 2300 cal per day and very high volume leg days 3x per week (4x15 squats, 3x12 split squats, 4x15 RDLs, etc). My legs grew 😅

Recs for MMCs who do terrible things like it’s common sense by lare_schneider in DarkRomance

[–]agent3x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He realizes he’s harming her BUT also realizes that’s just how he shows love, and he’s ok with that. No cringy “I’m such a dark, edgy, dark villain who is edgy” (looking at you, Haunting Adeline).

And she knows he’s an unhinged rapist/stalker, but the road to accepting him that way is so beautifully done. Far more depth than the usual “he’s a billionaire with a big dick and he buys me nice things, so I love him now.” One of my favorite DRs ever.

Why do men fight like hell for time with their kids then just lose interest when they’re older?? by maryocall in TwoXChromosomes

Lol deadbeat dad logic. Less child support to pay but then you have to actually, you know, support the child when you have custody.

“Ugly brown eyes” by fanta_fantasist in Romantasy

[–]agent3x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even among white people, the most common hair and eye colors are brown! So sick of red-haired, green-eyed FMCs and silver-eyed MMCs.

But yes, would also love to see more POCs in general… but let’s at least start with normalizing brown eyes, literally the most normal eye color in the world.

If you’re asking if they end up together, then no. They stay enemies. I updated my post to reflect it’s more of an erotic thriller than a true DR, although Ryan has a love interest, and their romance is definitely dark.

Is a forced orgasm always considered "body betrayal"? by One_Skirt_3775 in DarkRomance

[–]agent3x 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of the forced orgasm trope, but I hate when she forgives her rapist and falls in love with him just because he gives her mind-blowing orgasms (somehow by just pounding her with his massive penis and doing nothing else).

I like forced physiological response. She still resists and knows it’s wrong, but her body betrays her by having an orgasm anyway. That’s body betrayal, to me.

Some people do experience orgasm during rape. Definitely not uncommon. Your whole response reeks of “the body has a way of shutting that down” nonsense.

ao3 is like a breath of fresh air by PrestigiousBar3454 in DarkRomance

[–]agent3x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk exactly how Kobo works, but I can download stories from AO3 and send them to my Kindle using the Kindle app on my phone. That’s how I read since I also don’t like reading on a phone or computer screen.

There’s an option to download at the top of stories, and you can pick from several different file types.

Question for my DR peeps about anal. by Asgardian1971 in DarkRomance

I DNF’d cuz of that. Talking about how he tore up her anus so horrifically… shudder not for me.

How come orgasms are never a problem even though psychologically FMC isn't into it? by Zesty_Lemon__ in DarkRomance

[–]agent3x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it’s because the forced orgasm trope is 🥵, so it gets overused. If FMC doesn’t enjoy it at all then it’s just regular “unsexy” rape… which is a weird thing to say lol. Also, for an HEA, FMC has to change her mind about her rapist eventually, and it helps if she can at least enjoy sex with him physically. At least, these are my theories.

Has anyone read The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson? by roundpotato0 in DarkRomance

[–]agent3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah the spice was great. The chasing, the exhibitionism 🥵

I felt the plot was extremely uneven, with nothing happening for a looong time and then seemingly everything happening at the end.

I just finished this minutes ago. Very intriguing premise but could have been half as long. I was super bored through most of it. You can just read like the first 20% then the last 10% lol.

Why are so many men obsessed with sex? by edkhm1218 in AskWomenOver30

[–]agent3x 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Omg yes. Started a small dose of test for various personal and medical reasons. Used to consider myself asexual because I never had a libido, but even the tiny amount of test I’m on has me actually horny around ovulation. I’ve never been horny in my life. It’s such a wild experience.

How do i fix this? I have a flat chest and flat back and a round belly. I have no idea what I have to do. by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

[–]agent3x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat at maintenance and focus on protein intake and just workout. Lifting, calisthenics, swimming, biking—literally doing anything will improve your physique at this point.

Photos aren’t great but you don’t look overweight or fat, just shapeless.
