between wanting and needing
Tony had always prided himself on not being a slave to his designation. The way he was raised explained a lot of that.
He might have been a sub, but he never let that be his defining feature.
In the words of Marie Kondo, being a sub didn’t spark joy. In fact, at times, it flat out pissed him off that he had to submit at all. He’d never had a good dom before, and he didn’t even know what one looked like, mostly thanks to his father.
Submission—it was a touchy subject. Instinctually, biologically, he craved it, needed it. But what he wanted and needed didn’t really line up.
Things were going okay until they weren’t—until Tony made the mistake of trusting.

An abused sub, a traumatized switch, and gentle dom come together to heal. This is their story.
