I'd never tell him that, so I'm trying to make the best of my new living situation, but it's lonely, and I'm lonely, and it's the need to be held that drives me to search out a partner who will let me submit for the night. Going to my knees for another man brings up more feelings than I bargained for, and the complications that arise afterward only make things worse. Running to Silas and Marshall for help brings me right into the sights of the man I was trying to get away from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHunter Covington, Marshall's younger-but equally dominant-brother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHUNTER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccepting a one-night stand kind of proposition was supposed to be my last hurrah, but when the broken man I can't stop thinking about turns out to be the best friend of my brother's boyfriend, there's no chance I'm walking away.

I've played with power exchange before, but the circular nature of our dynamic feels special and new. The need to take care of Lincoln and keep him safe is visceral, but the pleasure I find when I sink down to my knees in front of him is indisputable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closer we get, the more Lincoln wants to run.
