The point of the matter was simple-- it wasn't fool proof, taking suppressants that is. It had its perks, for sure, like allowing one to be perceived as a neutral, which gave you a better advantage over that of a sub when it came time to get a good job and it also gave you a shot at living a Dom free life. But that's all it really was a shot . Not many could handle living without a Dom. Because unlike many subs are led to believe, suppressants aren't fucking fool proof. They only take the edge off. The edge off of that insatiable and damn near uncontrollable need . The need to be compliant and polite in the presence of literally any Dom. The need to be taken care of and handled as though you can't even think for yourself. Now, some subs had no issue with their status and having little control over their life, actually, many were quite happy just living purely to please their Dom. Liam however, was not one of those subs. **I also have this posted on AO3** **No part of this story should be copied or republished elsewhere without my written consent.**
