Heh, I did love the bit about Simone subconsciously training Emerson to obey her commands.
If you think about it, the entire no-touch theme is a sort of constant bondage, and the car-divider is a type of cage.
And for a bit there it looked like they were about to set up some kinky fun...one to have, one to hold indeed. Just let the poor blond be your ponygirl!!!
