I’m so embarrassed to admit that I actually read this story. I don’t know why 
That love interest is awful. Right from the beginning he’s a giant douche canoe. There’s no justification for what the “LI” did and I agree- at the very least, those scenes should be removed. It sets a very bad example to readers. What he did wasn’t okay at all.
Just wait… I’m almost willing to bet $50 that this story becomes featured, r*pe and all.
