BLURB:

“All I want is a puppy for my baby boy. That’s all. Just a good puppy for my boy. The better you behave, the happier you’ll be.”

When Cammy’s Daddy asked him if he wanted a puppy, he expected the fluffy, four-legged kind. Instead, he finds that his Daddy meant something else entirely… and he isn’t sure what to think of the new addition to the household.

Zay’s life might not have been perfect, but it was still better than being kidnapped and sold into slavery. When his new Master tells him he’s going to be Cammy’s puppy, he has to decide just what he’s going to do…

REVIEW:

It’s been a while since I read a good dark slavery/non-con story, and this one packs a double whammy. One aspect is Cammy, who was apparently saved from his abusive family by Daddy and who now lives solely as a little/boy for Daddy to take care of. While some aspects of his life took some getting used to (diapers, bottles, etc., for example), he has come to embrace his role as Daddy’s baby boy. Cammy sees Daddy as his savior and a beacon of light in what was otherwise a very dark life. Cammy’s biggest problem these days is loneliness while Daddy is working, so Daddy decides to get a puppy.

Of course, it isn’t a real puppy, but another man, which at first causes Cammy some distress over having to share Daddy’s affections. But Daddy needs other things that he can’t or doesn’t want to have with Cammy, such as being rougher sexually. As much as I felt bad for Cammy, even though he is happy with his life, it is tenfold for Zay, who finds himself forced into puppy mode after being bought from human traffickers/slave traders. He was kidnapped from his life that seemed to be on track and has little choice but to obey with whatever anyone wants to do with him. Daddy makes it clear he has no choice right from the get go and is a very different person with Zay than the one he shows Cammy. Not only does Daddy make it near impossible for Zay to make any attempt at getting away, the threats are real and punishments are harsh and not hesitated to be carried out.

Zay tries to keep his mind together and focused on getting away. Unfortunately, he is losing that ability little by little as he is forced to do things and be exactly what Daddy expects, all for the sweet, naive and mostly innocent Cammy. Zay and Cammy’s bond seems to be growing, but with Cammy being practically smitten with Daddy, the chance of an ally seems slim. Alternatively, if they did get away, what kind of life would Cammy actually have when he cannot do the basest things for himself? Then there is the issue of Zay’s own body betraying him. Things will be much better if he just obeys, which he is finding out to be true. It is all quite the mindfuck, and I wasn’t quite ready to see this story end where it did. Thankfully, it seems there is a sequel in the works, as I’m really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out for everyone involved. If you can handle the age play stuff (and yes, I had more trouble with that than the non/con), and like dark stories with slavery aspects, be sure to give this one a go.
