In Diana Gabaldon's "Voyager," the protagonist experiences a profound yearning that transcends mere physical attraction. This desire is not just erotic; it encompasses a longing for surrender and a deep trust in her partner. She craves the feeling of being dominated, which promises to erase her insecurities and let her lose herself in an intense moment.
This complexity of desire highlights the interplay between vulnerability and strength in intimate relationships. The craving to be taken powerfully reflects a psychological need to let go of control and experience a deep connection, hoping that through this shared experience, she can find a momentary escape from her doubts and fears.
