But that was silly, because it was Jake who ought to be grateful. Eduardo would be a magnificent Dom for any sub, but Jake was a terrible sub for anyone except Eduardo. Maybe even for Eduardo too. He hadn’t forgotten that night in the club, when Eduardo had thanked him for being good, how he’d wondered if Eduardo would prefer a sub who could behave like that all the time.
“Do you wish I could do better?”
“Better how?” A confused frown marred Eduardo’s handsome face.
“Like I was that night in the club.”
“That was just for show,” Eduardo said with a definitive shake of his head. “I wanted all those other Doms—all the ones who told me I was making a mistake taking you on—to see that the problem was them, not you. I don’t want you to change, Jake. I like giving you what you need. I’d hate for you to not need me.”
“I need you.”
“Good. Now, why don’t you go lie down on the bed? I’ll get the lotion.”
“I don’t have to go home?” He slept at Eduardo’s pretty much every night, but the last time he’d gotten serious punishment, Eduardo had made him go home after.
“Definitely not. In fact, I never want you to go home. I’d like for you to move in, if that’s something you think you’d want to do.”
Jake nodded, a little too close to tears for words.
“Then it’s a deal.”
Jake went into the bedroom on teetery legs and waited until Eduardo came in with the lotion and a glass of water. Eduardo helped him sit up enough to swallow the water, then stretched him out on his stomach and worked the cream into his skin, his fingers gentle and comforting. When Jake was loose and easy, Eduardo stripped off the remains of the suit he was still wearing and lay down next to him, plying him with tender kisses that ratcheted up in intensity. Jake’s hand found Eduardo’s dick, and Eduardo’s found his, and they pushed up against each other, grinding and grabbing.
“Probably not a good night to fuck you,” Eduardo groaned, “but fuck.”
“This works.” Jake opened his hand to surround them both.
“Mm, I’m appreciating how big your hands are right now.”
“I appreciate how big your cock is all the time,” he answered with a snicker. He squeezed tighter, moving his hand faster until any thoughts of joking fled and they came in synchronized spurts.
“Love you, Lalo.”
“Love you too, big guy. Here’s to many more nights like this one.” A last sweet kiss sealed the deal. Jake was moving in with the only man who’d ever figured out how to love him.
He rolled onto his back, thoroughly spent, and winced when pain flared up from his punished ass. Worth it, though. His head was cool and clear, no rage at all. Tomorrow he would write an apologetic email, which he would hate doing just enough to remind him to seek out Eduardo’s corrective hand before telling off a customer next time. And that would be it. It wasn’t the end the world. Just normal life, really.
He was mostly asleep before a low whine reminded him they’d forgotten someone.
“Earl.” He nudged Eduardo who’d also been mostly asleep.
“You were supposed to stay,” Eduardo said severely when he opened the door to find Earl on the other side of it, but of course he let Earl in anyway. Earl leapt onto the bed, staking out a spot right in the middle where he liked it best.
“Not tonight,” Eduardo corrected him. “Tonight I want to feel my guy next to me.” He patted the foot of the bed, and Earl slunk down there with reproachful eyes. Because sometimes there was still a little brat left in Earl too.

P. S. for Kindle Unlimited readers: I’m a Kindle Unlimited reader too. I love KU because I’m a voracious reader. We KU users are great readers, but we’re not always great about leaving reviews. Probably because we read so much and a lot of it is meh. But reviews are essential to how Amazon works, even the meh ones. Would you leave me a review?
Aftermath
Once upon a time, Casey flirted with a pretty boy at a bar, and that changed everything. Recently released from jail, he’s starting to rebuild without the family who raised him to hate himself. He’s got a new job, a room at his aunt’s, and community service hours at an LGBTQIA community center. But his biggest challenge is figuring out how to live as the one thing his father and brother drilled into him he could never be: a gay man.
Once upon a time, Brooks was a confident Dom with a particular taste for bigger men. But since his run-in with a dangerous homophobe, he’s lost his touch. Big, buff guys are hot but scary, and hurting people isn’t as much fun as it used to be.
Until he meets Casey, the big guy with the problematic past. Casey’s willing to do anything, but does his submission stem from healthy kink or from an unhealthy need to be punished? And is Brooks doling out release or revenge? Two people who share a past as violent as theirs could never fall in love. Unless, somewhere in the aftermath, there’s forgiveness.
Content warning: internalized homophobia, homophobic language, and references to homophobic hate crimes that have occurred in the past

Liam should never have sassed his best friend Kurt’s father that way, not when he knows how discipline is handled in the Santino household. Now Liam’s got two problems: Mr. Santino’s belt and Kurt’s bare hand. Or rather, he’s got one problem: the fact that all this old-fashioned discipline is making him hornier than hell.
Kurt’s determined to make Liam stop perving on his dad. Liam just needs one more punishment. Can the two college students work out an arrangement that satisfies all their desires?
This short story (approximately 15,000 words) features lots of spankings with various implements and a HEA ending.
Pledged
Pledging a fraternity is always a little nerve-wracking, but Blake’s racing pulse comes from more than a fear of rejection. He’s got one eye on Vadim, Delta Iota Kappa’s muscle-bound Chief Punishment Officer, and the other on that paddle. Pledging D.I.K. is going to be a whole lot more challenging, and exciting, than he ever anticipated.
Vadim’s been waiting three years for a little brother all his own, for someone to torment and humiliate, to initiate into all the pleasure, and all the pain, of belonging to their intimate fraternity for two.
This novella (approximately 20,000 words) features lots of spanking, a little humiliation, and a happy ending.
Deep Under
It was a routine traffic stop until the submissive in Jack recognized the Dominant in Maddox. Now Maddox and Jack are walking a dangerous line: on opposite sides of the law by day, on the same side of the bed at night. Can Maddox trust a man with Jack’s past, and does Jack even want him to? One thing’s for sure: Jack needs to be punished, and Maddox is just the man to do it.
