A Novel Affair

"The readers want more. We need you to step it up a notch."
With these crushing words, Milo's publisher sets him on a daunting mission: to delve into the infamous BDSM scene for inspiration for his next novel. Milo, also known as the author Sage, has always found social interactions challenging due to his autism spectrum disorder, but this new assignment proves to be an even greater challenge. At a meeting for members of the scene, he encounters Ren, a seasoned Dom who offers to guide him through this unfamiliar world. As Milo immerses himself in the intricacies of the Dom/sub lifestyle, the lines between detached research and personal desire begin to blur, pushing him to confront boundaries he never knew he had.

Ren knew it the moment he spotted him at the Munch-he had to have him. Timid and jittery, barely able to meet his gaze from across the crowded room. The man introduced himself as 'Phoenix', and from that moment on, Ren was determined to capture this elusive firebird. It doesn't take long for him to discover that Milo's interest in the scene isn't personal but professional. Still, Ren isn't deterred. After over a decade in the BDSM community, this is the first time someone has truly piqued his curiosity-and not just as a potential sub. But breaking through Milo's walls proves to be the most difficult challenge Ren has ever faced as a Dom. Slowly, he comes to realize that his interest in Milo goes far beyond curiosity. It's something much deeper.

While the BDSM lifestyle isn't for everyone, I invite you to approach it with an open mind, as it is often depicted as more extreme than it truly is.
