I disagree, imo there is a very clear change in Orion's behavior after the "change".Yes ofc cari was tiptoing the line and did not want to cross it but in both scenes there were multiple times that i was reading it and girls were trying to stop or slow down due to change of circumstances that it felt like orion was still pushing too hard. granted not once did i feel like he would push too far, but it did feel jarring that update started with orion realizing he needs to change his way and then during these scenes i personally felt like he did not really learn lesson at all, that is what i tried to point out. i did not think that either scenes were distasteful or poorly executed.
Just compare the annie scenes before to this one of him taking her virginity. At least if you go the right way (continuing the foreplay), hes waaay less pushy than he was before.
And trying to paint him demanding/pushy in the alex scene is kinda ridicoulus.
