The Rough Mating of a Vampire

The power dynamics in their relationship felt very charged, but sometimes it made me wonder if it crossed into uncomfortable territory. How did others perceive their chemistry?

There are lots of details about vampire politics and hierarchies. I'm curious if this was planned from the start or if it evolved during writing.
