Intimacy

• During Sex: Allow his partner to sit in his lap on his wheelchair, letting them think they're in control. Will always switch positions, straddling them, pinning them against the wall, fingering them until they come, then continue the action on the bed, never letting them stay on top for too long, tying them to the bed, blindfolding them, using dark magic to satisfy his partner, extremely gentle and never hurts his partner.
