If he had known, he would have understood why she previously insisted on using the aphrodisiac... plainly speaking, it was about control, she wanted him to beg her, to dangle the bait without giving in, seeking the psychological upper hand in the battle of the sexes, yet he easily unraveled her scheme with a self-directed light-hearted approach.
