But Jurgen’s so not the relationship type.Right?Original Prompt:Dear Author,Those boots are hot, right? The veiny arms too. I bet he gets really sweaty riding that bike all day. mmmmhmmmm You can't see it in the pic, but I bet his hairy chest just glistens with it.I would love a story about this cop.

For three years, Little Dude has been my whole life. I made the choice to adopt as a single father, and I’m darn good at being a dad.

He’s a guy. Yeah. And seems the total opposite of me. Plus, I think he’s straight, but I swear sometimes he looks at me and is thinking about how good we’d be together. It makes me a little nervous. And a little hot.Whatever I do, I have to put Little Dude first.

M. Caspian - 2015
Now Noah wants to do more than look, but can Noah convince Logan to see him as someone other than the boy next door?Reader advisory: This story is fantasy and involves a coercive relationship, under-negotiated and unsafe sex, and the application of maple syrup to an orifice it was never designed for. It should in no way be considered a blueprint for either a healthy partnership, or proper waffle procedure.

It took almost losing him to see that, to understand, to comprehend what he truly was to me.Mine.My precious boy.My beautiful Beo.Dear Author,He calls me “Master”, but I’m the one who’s really a slave to his heart.
