*A continuance of "Good Boy" But can be read independently* Pain is nothing new. Scott King lost his true love to lung cancer five years ago. He has since coped by burying himself in his work and keeping Danny's items in a shrine-like manner. He's taken by surprise when a business partner introduces him to Puppy--a lost sub with sad eyes and an uncaring Dom. Scott is stunned to find himself pulled into Puppy's baby blue eyes and even more surprised with the need to bring the poor boy home and show him the love and affection he'd been denied his entire life. Puppy has always assumed himself to be a burden. Haunted by his past with an emotionally unavailable Dom, he feels he doesn't deserve the love and kindness extended toward him by Scott. But as they grow closer Puppy grows more and more aware of the impact Danny's death has had on Scott. He begins to question if Scott is truly over the death and available to care for Puppy emotionally. Together they need to heal their hearts from all the pain they've dealt with. *Warnings: ManxMan, death, sexual content, strong language, mature situations, bdsm*

He yells, he screams and he hits. And all Eden wants to do is to be something more than the worthless trash that he has so vividly convinced her she was. One day, she meets Stella King. Stella has gone through subs like tissues. None of them are necessarily bad subs, but they just seemed to be missing something. Something she soon discovers Eden has. Will Stella be able to convince Eden she's more than she perceives herself to be? Or will she always be James's worthless sub?
