   Summary

   Nick has always craved safety, gentleness and sometimes, the sweet surrender of giving up control. With Charlie, he finally finds a place gentle enough to hold his deepest wants and rough enough to feed his secret hunger. One night, in the quiet of a too-small bed and a flat that isn’t quite home yet, they discover how giving up control can be another way to say 'I love you'.

   a soft, raw exploration of trust, praise, submission, and the lingering echoes of wanting to be perfect — even when you don’t have to be
