Such a hard chapter to decipher.
But are we really surprised by Hayden's reaction? Brett pushed all his buttons, and the worst ones : his emotional traumatic ones. After 2 years of emotional torture (being bonded and thrown like dirt), Brett comes back as if nothing, clinging to him, with the same forced mechanisms, control, material stuff and yet again no emotional vulnerability from Brett.
Hayden said no in every possible way, yet Brett keeps burning everything about him. What's left to do? Especially, what's left to do when you're extremely disappointed and hurt by someone, yet still painfully and cruelly enamored by them. Brett said he wants it rough, and Hayden is pushing this to the limit, the limit of coldness, roughness.
My 2 cent thoughts :
1. Hayden is testing Brett by giving what he asked for in such a disgusting way.
2. The challenge is here for Brett to change, to still go with the roughness but ask genuinely for something more, the affection, and not by empty words but by opening himself.
Like the s*x they had in the car, it was rough but affectionate. Also, just remember how Hayden treated Brett when he first saw him again in season 3, happy, wrapping a scarf etc
Brett is really reaping what he sow

Disappointed by chapter 52. I don t understand hayden's reaction.
