Plans

Octavia is actually worried for Asther’s sake. Even though she still hasn’t forgiven him for what he did to her back in the manor, when she looks back on the event, she’s sure that he did it for the sake of the mission. Still, this isn’t an excuse for him to use her body for the sake of this mission.

But there’s another side of Octavia that is annoyed with this event. A side of her that she didn’t want to acknowledge. That, in actuality, she wanted them to do more than just strip naked.

With their bodies in close contact like that, Octavia wanted Asther to own her whole. She remembered all the gruesome training she received under him. She also remembered how competent Asther is. Both as a fighter and a tactician. And for the first time in her whole life, she wanted a man to look at her and nothing but her. She wants his full attention, to grab her body like it’s his and his alone.

Yet nothing of this sort happened. That’s the full reason for the slap she gave Asther that night. Becaus
