Preston thought thirty days in chastity would be simple punishment: A locked cage, denied pleasure, a lesson in obedience after breaking his Dom's rules one too many times. He planned to fight, push and be his typical bratty self until Julian cracked and gave him what he craved. He was wrong. What begins as furious defiance slowly unravels into something deeper. Day by day the steel between his legs strips away control, noise, choice. Every denied erection, every ruined orgasm, every moment he kneels at Julian's feet and waits becomes a reminder: his cock isn't his anymore. His pleasure isn't his to take. And the quieter his mind grows, the safer he feels. It's a raw, intimate journey from resistance to surrender, where denial becomes devotion and the weight of steel teaches one stubborn submissive exactly where he was always meant to be... locked, peaceful, and utterly owned.

🚨‼️PLEASE READ‼️🚨 Due to my book getting reports, I have REMOVED all punishment scenes, hardcore scenes and sex scenes. All of those scenes will only be available on REAM under the $3 Tier. LINK IS IN MY BIO🩷 The series will continue on Wattpad as normal... just WITHOUT the scenes listed above. ----- Julian thought training Alec would be a mission... structured, contained, temporary. A way to help a broken sub find his way back from the edge without letting the past bleed into his present life with Preston. He was wrong. Alec arrives like a storm no one can predict: sharp-tongued, guarded, reckless, pushing every boundary Julian tries to set. He scoffs at rules, tests limits, vanishes for hours only to return marked and defiant. Yet beneath the attitude is a quiet desperation... a boy who learned early that love hurts, so better to hurt first and harder. Julian sees it and Preston sees it. And both of them refuse to look away. Preston, now fully collared and deeply surrendered, finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the orbit of Alec's chaos. Alec is not an easy book to read. His pages are torn, ink smeared, words crossed out and rewritten in anger. Most people would close him and walk away. Not Julian and Preston. They turn the pages together because they both know that if you have the patience to push through the fear and the rage and the self-sabotage... what waits at the end is a story worth cherishing. This is a story of three hearts learning... messily, painfully, beautifully... how to hold each other without breaking.

Preston is a reckless submissive who doesn't play by the rules. At least that's what his one friend, Sammie describes him as. Preston plays with Doms, spits them out, and never lets them touch him more than once. The reason is simple... he doesn't want to get attached. He believes if he leaves them first, they can't leave him first. Hurt is not something he ever wants to feel again... and he's happy with the way his life is going. A good job at the local animal shelter by day, and a secret lifestyle at night. He's cool... until this Dom takes interest in him. Too much interest. Preston knows who Dom Julian Voss is. He's the one who trains subs in Eclipse. The one Preston loves watching on stage and in the open play rooms, but Preston has never played with him, and doesn't want to. Until Julian convinces him to give him one night and promises the best scene of Preston's life. Unfortunately that was true... and now Preston has to dump him faster than the plague because Preston can't get attached to him. But Julian has other plans because he's already become attached to Preston. He pursues him hard... and eventually he convinces Preston to play with him after one very explicit scene on stage with Julian and a sub he was training. But the 2nd session turns into a 3rd and then... before Preston knows it, it's been 10, and feelings are starting to develop. Which is something Preston has always ran from.
