[This section is in Leo's POV]
Leo was fed up with the sort of back and forth relationship he had with Hunter. Every time he thought that he had made a step in furthering his relationship with this stupid blockhead, he would take a few steps back, causing Leo to feel frustrated over and over. In fact, at one point, he wondered if Hunter simply treated him as a pleasure stick.
This view had came to be when he was bounded and forced to endure all those different types of kinky "torture" by Hunter while he was laid bare on a sling. Although he said that he had forgiven Hunter for abandoning him there at the love hotel the following morning, he had actually still bore quite a strong grudge at that time. However, Leo thought that if he had continued chastising Hunter, he would eventually pushed the other even further away. Therefore, he had pretended to forgive him while still keeping the grudge deep within his heart.
