Kim's perspective on what happened with Aaron was downright intriguing. She seems to have not even noticed the position she was putting him in. To be fair to her, she was aggressive with him back in chapter one to great effect, so I could see her ignoring Aaron's legitimate complaints and assuming a little "enticement" would be enough to get him going again. However, she doesn't seem to understand that she flat out ignored him clearly not wanting to be part of her games or go another round with her last chapter. She seems to just think that Aaron's problem was just that she was too big for him (again, to be fair, Aaron did say that specifically, but clearly there was more to it than that).
I would have considered the possibility that she was manipulating Valerie here, but between her initial sad reaction when Valerie went to comfort her and that thousand-yard stare, I believe her. This sets up the way she treats Aaron a little later in the chapter pretty well. She feels wronged by him, and to her, sitting on him and physically intimidating him is justified, even though, in reality, it's abusive and wrong. So while Aaron doesn't come close to deserving her ire, I can understand why she would do that to him.
Another interesting part of that first segment was, again, how devastated Kim seemed by Aaron's rejection of her. It really bothered her, and this seemed to me as though it was another one of those chances for Kim to set herself straight. She just needed a little help, a little guidance. Unfortunately, she didn't get that from Valerie. Instead, Valerie didn't hesitate to meet Kim's urges, which put any self-reflection out of Kim's mind and ensured her that Aaron was the problem in that breakup. Bringing Darren into the fold was easy enough, and he went from wanting to stay out of Kim's business to being in the middle of it without a fight. All it took was Valerie and her to tag team him and make him cum in less than three seconds, and he went from macho "I said now, woman" to the guy that cooks Kim's meals on command.
While I'm sad that Kim is losing herself to her power and no one seems willing or understanding enough to help her, I love what she did to Charlie here. He set her on the course for his own selfish reasons, and now it's blowing up in his face in the most spectacular fashion. I enjoyed her telling him to "do his job," just like Pete does. Charlie thought he was going to get out from under Pete and run things, now he's got a much more dangerous master controlling him instead.
And the way she threatened Charlie at the end, while it's by far the most aggressive thing she's done so far, I can't bring myself to feel bad for him. Like Kim said, she's no longer his plaything; now he's her plaything! All that mental manipulation has earned him as a truly remorseless Kim who sees him as a tool and has no reservations about doing something terrible to him if he doesn't prove useful to her. As scary as that is and as sure as I am that this mentality is going to come to apply to other less deserving of Kim's wrath, I'm glad Charlie was the first to experience it at this level.
I'm really curious to see what Pete has to say next chapter. Aaron is going to come to Pete saying that Kim is a threat to him, and Charlie is going to desperately try to convince him that not only should Kim be booted from the show, but they should change the rules so that she can take two lovers, one of which is the same gender. I'm very interested to see how that weasel handles the situation.
Not only that, but I have a feeling Kim is going to cause some problems for the new girl. She knows Aaron is going to try to get with her, and based on how Kim's last interaction with Aaron went, I'm confident that she's not going to let him get what he wants on the island.
Oh, and aside from all this plot and psychological stuff, the smut in that first segment was fantastic! I loved that three-way action between Valerie, Kim, and Darren. Kim realizing she needs more than one lover is most likely going to lead to hotter and hotter scenes as the story presses on.
Lastly, Kim's personality during this both physical and mental evolution of hers is being paced perfectly. I liked how much more dominant she's becoming, now walking through crowds to make them scurry out of her way, sitting on ex-boyfriends, and casually expecting everyone around her to do exactly what she says. That bit where she pretended like Aaron was trying to get back with her was the hottest form of conceited. I'm eager to see this continue to develop in the chapters ahead!
