Yes, I love that cute, rosy blush that appears on their cheeks at
those times. Rei looks so sexy the few times that we see her blush...

It's the whole "violent seduction" thing. - having the shy, timid
virginal girl there solely for the pleasure of her strong, cruel
master/owner, to use and abuse as he chooses. 

You know the sort of thing you see in hentai doujinshi - she begs him
to be gentle with her as it is her first time, and he just says "no"
and laughs at her. Then he forces her to have sex with him as roughly
as possible and makes her enjoy it.

I wish that I could turn back time,
'cos now the guilt is all mine.
Can't live without
the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride,
because of that, it's killing me inside.
