It took Molly some time to be comfortable in herself enough to get what she wants in the bedroom, but her assertiveness started before Sherlock Holmes. Her appetite for sex is a healthy one and she's not shy about it. She's learned over the years that men of any worth are turned on, not intimidated by this.

She doesn't, however, mind assertiveness on the part of her partner either. Being a bit submissive can also be a turn on when you trust the person you're with. Some days you feel like being in control more and some days you're happy to let the other person drive. And sometimes it's a shifting dance the whole way through.

She can feel his hand move to undo her bra and she wonders if he's going to succeed on the first go.
