Jacob allows deeper intimacy, despite the emotional risk.
Denying the power of Vivienne's submission and passion is impossible.
Vivienne stirs emotions that Jacob is unable to repress, and the relationship careens into uncharted waters. He can't blame Vivienne for envisioning a different sort of relationship than they have. After all, Jacob takes her on dates then shares the playroom with her, which sends conflicting messages."Jacob's heart sank when he thought of what he was leading Vivienne to believe. He wasn't the right man for her, except in the playroom. Romance, dating, and relationships had not gone well for him in the past. He wasn't cut out for sentimentality.
Although Jacob had taken precautions to keep the darkness he harbored away from Vivienne, his recent behavior might prove to be his undoing. Intimacy drew a woman closer, when what he needed was to maintain distance. She didn't need to know about his past, or see inside him. Nor did he want her to. The fact was that Jacob was setting Vivienne up for disappointment, and the way they were going, it would be a big one."
