Some men are content to assume their role of choice, or the role which they default to, without argument. Others will strive for more, pushing and forcing their way ahead, always believing there can be something better - and enjoying the mayhem they leave behind as they find their way.
Those who know me at all would know that I am the latter, and yet only one who has shared my bed has dared to delight me in such a way, challenging my claim to the upper hand at each turn. I enjoy his struggles for dominance every bit as much as - in truth, perhaps more than - the undeniable victory I win over him each time, no matter how spirited his efforts. For all the amusement he provides, I might take pity on John Hardin - but I know that in his heart, he enjoys the contests of will and strength as much as I do.
Indeed, we suit each other well - for the only thing which he may enjoy more than the contests themselves is his eventual defeat at my hands.
