Synopsis
When Michael Nole propositions Dillon
Spade outside a BDSM club one evening, all he is looking for is a potential
client and a little kink. He gets much more than he bargained for. As a
prostitute, Michael enjoys sex but keeps an emotional distance between himself
and the men he sleeps with. His priority is to keep himself safe, but after a
night in Dillon’s bed, he finds the line between enjoyment and occupation
blurring.
Dillon hasn’t taken another man home
since his previous lover passed away six years ago, but there is something
about Michael that calls to his inner Dominant in a way he cannot resist. His
instincts want to claim the boy even as he reminds himself that he is only
paying Michael for temporary company.
Their relationship may have started as a
business transaction, but it’s difficult to remain professional when breaking
all the rules.
REVIEW
“Hey.
Wanna play?”
Now
that’s an awesome opening line. Sold!
This
story is big, even though it’s a short read. With this way of writing, clear
sentences, steady pace, picturing the scenes smoldering hot, I can easily handle
500 pages of this awesomeness.
Leaving
the BDSM club unfulfilled, Dillon is approached by a handsome guy.
After
a short conversation, Dillon takes Michael to his home to play.
And
oh my goodness can Dillon play. Originally Dillon is a 24/7 Dom.
He
lost his sub six years ago and since that moment he didn’t have any other. Now
here is one, in his home submitting. It costs him a fortune, but Michael is
worth every penny.
What
a great story. I love (almost) everything about BDSM but certainly the way this
Dom plays. Dillon is strong, independent, fair, and thoughtful about every
move.
Michael
is everything for Dillon.
The
way the author displays their scenes are intense and delicious.
It’s
a novella and enough developed to get completely involved. BDSM is the right
scenery for me to get enchanted.
Lovable
and endearing characters, likewise for the secondary characters.
As I
said, for me, this story could be much much longer.
For
now, I’m content about how this story went and ended!
And
hey, I saw it’s part #1 of a series, awesome!

“Hey. Wanna play?”
Dillon glanced up to find a young man
leaning against the hood of his car. At Dillon’s pointed look, he took a step
back, so he no longer touched the automobile.
“What gave you the impression I want
company?”
“You obviously didn’t find what you were
looking for in there” came the reply with a nod back at Harte, the BDSM club
Dillon had just exited. “If you had, you wouldn’t be leaving this early.”
“And you think you’re what I want?”
The boy shrugged.
Dillon peered at him. He appeared to be
in his midtwenties, fit and tight in the way Dillon remembered being before
he’d hit thirty-three. He was shorter than Dillon with dark-brown hair long
enough to grip: two things Dillon liked in a submissive. There was something
familiar about him as well. If Dillon wasn’t mistaken, he’d seen him heading
into a nearby motel a few times and never with the same “date.”
“Are you a prostitute?” Dillon asked.
The blunt question evoked an expression
of surprise, but it rapidly morphed into a smooth smile. “‘Prostitute’ sounds
like a job. It’s more of a hobby.”
“One you get paid for.”
“It’s a good hobby.”
Dillon cracked a smile. “How much do you
charge?”
“Depends on what you want to do.”
That was reasonable enough, and if he’d
been waiting outside Harte, he must know to expect kink and charge for it
accordingly. “Are you clean?”
“Yes, and condoms are necessary and at
your expense.”
“Expense? That sounds like a job term to
me,” Dillon teased.
He considered his options. The boy was
right. He hadn’t found what he was searching for in the club, and he held no
illusions he ever would. Even after six years, he couldn’t help comparing every
submissive he came across to the lover he’d lost. Harte called him a stubborn
old goat, but the thought of building a relationship from scratch exhausted
him. It was so hard to find someone whose rhythms and tastes fit with his own.
Granted, the club was designed for negotiation and mutually desired play, but
that was for the scenes that took place there. What about the rest of the time?
Dillon didn’t want a casual play
partner. That did nothing more for him than scratch an itch that would return
in no time. He wanted someone he could build a life with. He wasn’t going to
find that with a prostitute, but something about the stranger brought forth
yearnings Dillon hadn’t felt in years. He could take the boy home with him,
indulge in what he wanted in his own territory and under his own rules. It
would be a purchased illusion, but it beat going home alone and sleeping in an
empty bed.
“Come on,” he said, pulling his car door
open and unlocking the other side. “We’ll talk details when we get to my
place.”
“Your place? Don’t you mean a hotel?”
“My place,” repeated Dillon. “I don’t do
quick fucks.”
