Is he humiliated? The man who made his life a living hell has seen him cracked completely open, a whimpering quivering thing in the thrall of lust. Every filthy word that had so easily dripped from his tongue in that dream, every degrading act he'd bowed to, comes back as ghosts to haunt him. He should be humiliated. The Darkling certainly wants him to be.
But hadn't desire pulled him down too? Not a monster, just a man. Aleksander. Double-edged is the weapon he wields against Nikolai.
So even though he doesn't know what to think, what to feel, he knows he cannot give the Darkling what he wants.]
How could I forget? I finally found the one thing you might be useful for.
