Every day, he is going through the motions and barely managing to keep the excruciating pain from overtaking his life. There is precisely one ray of sunshine in his days - Kai - the smiley, awkward barista at Starbucks. For some reason, Silas finds comfort being around Kai and soaks up as much light as this sweet boy could give him. For the short time Kai has worked at Starbucks, he has secretly watched one man from afar, hoping that one day he would notice him back. He looks all mature, business-like, and always sad. One day Kai finally gets the chance to speak to him. And this is where their story begins. Will Silas be able to let go of the past and start fresh? And will Kai be able to heal the gloomy man with his smiles? Tropes: age gap, hurt comfort, daddy/boy kink Content warnings: mature sexual content and language Trigger warnings: sexual assault, grief

*2nd book in TPS series* MM; Completed; Book 2 in Series Each book can be read as a stand alone, but the characters will be seen again in other books. I recommend reading in order for the best experience. 18+, BDSM Victor loved Shawn and trusted the male from the day he first met him. He had always thought he would spend his entire life with him and enjoy the male as his dominant. However, things changed and the story of trust slowly fell into one of pain and betrayal. Cade always desired a submissive after his own painful, abusive past with a hateful dominant. He was taught by Aiden how to cherish a submissive and looked forward to the day he could. What he did not expect was to find a poor, abused boy in the club desperate for help, but unwilling to find it.
