Not Quite Acceptable IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM

THE HELL.

Sex while sleeping? Sex while sleeping? Do you know what is absent while one is asleep? THE ABILITY TO CONSENT.

Taking a break from this book, suspect the rage will overwhelm any enjoyment I might get from reading it for awhile.

Well, that would actually depend. If one is in a long-term relationship - a functional one - with a standing agreement to have sex whenever, than I think waking up because your partner is trying to get frisky is pretty nice. IMO.

I mean, I've never been in this situation but since I've been together with my partner for 11 years, I don't expect him to explicitly ask my permission before starting a make-out session.

But I bet that wasn't the book's situation, hmmmm.

Yeah not so much. The heroine straight up tells the hero not to. >( Their relationship is not the most functional thing at that point of the story.
