hot take perhaps but the trend for riara enjoyers seems to be dom rafe … to counter this i think we must consider that rafe spends a lot of his screen time lately stonefaced and brooding in silence but the second he’s in front of kiara he turns into motormouth and is pacing and panting affected by the mere sight of her. consider how the last time he was alone with kiara for longer than like five minutes he turned into a blubbering mess almost unprompted and opened up in a way he didn’t to his own gf. he’s a live wire clearly but he just wants to be seen and understood by kie in particular so badly… oof! sounds very eager to please.. sounds very much like if she ordered him around he might bristle at it but eventually relent and melt into a subby little puddle … consider that the dom front might be posturing of some kind, him convincing himself he’s a Strong Reliable Man.. for the same reasons he proposed to sofia for some damn reason .. but that since he can’t pretend to be anyone he isn’t in front of kie he might want to be dom with anyone that isn’t kie … who i think would Love bossing rafe around. cue that gif of him kneeling in front of her in barbados
i read something once ages ago about how christian grey from 50 shades doesn't actually reflect typical bdsm dynamics; a successful, powerful man with a lot of control at work wouldn't want to bring that home. kink is about escapist fantasy (y'know, like the whole core of 50 shades itself) and a man like grey would want to go home and be tied up and slapped and edged and ahve his hair pulled— and i bet rafe cameron would feel the same way regarding his own struggles to be in control of work, his family, his reputation... 🤭
i've even been victim of dom!rafe before because i'm only human LOL but i've been watching animal kingdom lately and shawn hatosy's character has me learning things about myself... much later than i expected would still be happening... so sub rafe calls my name
