Before Sam arrived, he was already prepared, even for each encounter with Angel.
He had a strategy for every aspect - his expressions, his words, everything was meticulously planned.
This time was no different.
He used his poised and unyielding demeanor to provoke the girl's intense desire to control.
Only by being difficult could he hope to fully conquer her, to take control, and perhaps even dominate her.
His expressions were a performance, his words a guided script.
It seemed like everything was under his control, but Sam's biggest challenge came from the raw, physical feelings he couldn't ignore.
Or rather, Angel's allure.
Despite knowing everything, the outcome, the depths of cruelty this girl was capable of, he still felt slightly dizzy when she came close, indulging in unrealistic fantasies.
