My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Gideon McCade Had been a Navy SEAL and CIA agent so has lots of blood on his hands. He uses BSDM club Catharsis to dominate willing submissives to get him through daily life now he is a civilian - but never permanent just short temporary contracts. When his former life comes back he gets pulled back into the shadows taking away his hope for a life in the light. Sebastian Phillips has his career as a tattoo artist sidelined and so works as a composite artist for the local police department while he lives with a congenital medical condition so he immerses himself in his art and seeks the catharsis of submission. But with life weighing heavily on his shoulders and darkness encroaching, he yearns for a contract with a Dominant that sees past the protective barriers he’s erected to the vulnerable submissive within. The connection between Gideon and Sebastian is undeniable but they both consider themselves to be too damaged and so rely on an impersonal contract to fulfil their physical needs. But staying emotionally detached becomes impossible, and breaking their contract seems the only option. Will Gideon’s need for vengeance and Sebastian’s declining health destroy what’s grown between them, or will they help each other find their way back into the light?
They were both so damaged that it was heartbreaking to read this story even though the HEA at the end was worth the anguish and tears on the way to get there. I really did feel as if I was there with them and living their lives, frustration and heartbreak as everything progressed. There was a lot of danger and drama in this story, especially on Gideon's side as well as Sebastian's medical issues. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was MM mature content with a D/s dynamic including suspension, spanking, flogging and whipping.
