I thought the love confession to Tiffany was sweet, and Ashley's shyness competing with her attraction/desire for the mc is pretty compelling. I actually thought romancing Kate was going to be similar to Ashley, but don't like how she keeps her guard up and looks for reasons not to trust Sebastian, when my mc, is just trying to be good guy and not the creep some think he is. Speaking of creep, I'm just not into the Dom/Sub dynamic with the secretary, its a big turn off for me. Wish there was a less aggressive/creepy way of seducing her.
Initially I was all in on going hard after Melanie, but I'm really conflicted as Marc is a good friend, doesn't cheat on his wife or lust after his stepdaughter. Despite Melanie's dysfunctional past with Sebastian, I feel like she relishes in teasing and tormenting him....alternating in telling him to back off/she can't cheat on Marc, but then making suggestive statements about Sebastian just taking her and her giving in. That said, in spite of their history, its kinda messed up Melanie is forbidding Sebastian from dating/going near Tiffany. For fuck's sake, she's an adult, is single, and is attracted to him, where he's also single (not for lack of trying) and equally attracted to her. If I had to pick only one girl to pursue, while its sad our mc never got to marry the girl of his dreams, I have no problem pursuing the next best thing, her daughter!
