Intense, strong twist
Surprised on reading that this turned out to be such a fantasy-heavy premise. Many intriguing hints given as to what sort of world the characters inhabit, which will hopefully be revealed later, as this chapter goes very much right into the action. While I normally prefer a build (though erotic romance is not my genre, so this very personal) it certainly pulls the reader along, and one can feel the main character's compulsion and anxiety. The final twist, though in a more standard erotica setting might class as predictable, is rendered extremely tense here by the unusual circumstances, leaving the main character very much on a cliff-hanger. One would definitely want to to find out more and not leave them in that predicament...
