Description

About the book

He asked for pain. Luca gave him praise. The praise broke him open wider than anything else could.

Aaron Blake is thirty-five, one of Manhattan’s most successful criminal-defense attorneys, and emotionally numb enough that winning no longer feels like winning.

Luca Santos is twenty-eight, a high-end escort who specializes in intense, negotiated kink scenes followed by careful aftercare. His rules are simple: no attachment, no between-session contact, no kissing.

Aaron’s intake form changes everything. Under emotional needs, he writes one sentence: I want to feel anything.

Luca understands immediately that this client is different.

What begins as controlled intensity becomes praise, care, panic attacks, boundaries, and the slow realization that softness is not weakness.

Aaron hired Luca to wreck him. Instead, Luca gives him a reason to stop disappearing.
