Blurb: As I awaken to this new night, I have no idea what Theoden has planned for me. I know there are more lessons he wants to teach me… I just don’t know how painful… or how pleasurable they will be. I do know that I’ve given into Theoden in ways that I’d never thought I would. Not only that, but he’s made me feel… pleasure unlike anything I’d ever experienced. I want to resist him, I need to resist him, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to resist him. His hold over me is stronger than my will to fight him and with each passing day, I know that I’m losing this battle. On top of personal experiences, I’m discovering secrets the human world never knew. I’m beginning to understand why the humans lost the war and how insignificant my rebellion actually was. This realization has been the cruelest lesson of all.
Review: This segment reminded me about how much I love dragons. Not just any old dragons, but hot sexy, dominant dragons that feed on lust and sex. But, don’t get me wrong, because there is a lot more to these dragons than just sex!
We know Théoden is half vampire/half dragon. He is the Lord of the Fifth District, the highest of the other four districts, so he is pretty highly ranked. In other words, he is one heck of a bad ass. Up to this point, we have only really seen his vampire side and what that means to Noel and his place in the vampire hierarchy. Well, that all changes this time around when Théoden decides it’s time to take Noel out into public.
Noel still has a few minor setbacks, but nothing that isn’t quickly fixed with a few sharp reminders from Théoden or his “brothers.” He is taken to feed, which he still has a few issues with, but he gives into this more quickly now that the repercussions are so fresh in his mind.
Then, they are off to give Noel a treat. Yes, Théoden is feeling generous this time around, though he still never fully gives up that edge of control he exudes. So, anyhoo, they go to visit Théoden’s best bud, Tylendel, a Knight of the Dragon Realm. There is obviously a lot of history with these two, though we only get a tiny glimpse. Ty is a pretty potent dragon, and he shows that when he pushes Théoden’s limits and goes a bit too far with Noel, much to Théoden’s aggravation. He is alpha, mysterious and extremely sexy. Let’s just say, these dragons have some kind of special skills. I cannot wait to learn more about Ty and the other supes in future episodes.
So, I loved that we are moving beyond the training point and learning more about the other creatures in this world. Noel is finally getting a little closer to Théoden and his brothers, which is shown in various ways throughout this short segment. As with the others before it, Control is a fast-paced, highly charged story that can easily be read in one sitting. This is a serial, but don’t worry about having to wait long for the next episode, as Nicholas has been on a pretty tight schedule, feeding them to us about every two weeks. If you’re tired of fluffy supes, definitely give this fabulous series a try.
Overall Impression: I loved it!
