Claim Me, Love Me by Jaiyde Thomas
The only way to fall in love is to take the first step.
For Caleb, that first step leads to fear, violence, and the death of the only boy he’s ever loved. He won’t—can’t—admit who he is to himself. How could he ever share his deepest secrets with someone else?
Josaiah has known he was gay since he was seven. He’s experienced in more ways than one—with sex, with other men, and as a Dominant. But love is something he can’t accept or give, and he’s walled himself off from any kind of affection.
Can Caleb confront his ghosts and learn to love himself and his new Dom? Will Josaiah remember how to love, and be loved in turn? As Caleb and Josaiah take the first few steps toward each other, their pasts threaten to overwhelm their future.

“I usually wait to bring this up until I’ve gotten to know the guy a bit better, but something is calling to me about your personality. Are you a submissive?”
I couldn’t help but ask the question that had been rolling around in my mind for days now. He cleared his throat and opened his door. Fuck. Too soon. My door opened, and I swung my long legs out of the vehicle. Smiling up at him, I took his hand as he guided me towards the steps of the apartment building.
“Here’s my number,” he said as he slid a card into my fingers. I felt the bumps, and my mouth dropped open. “Yes, “tion involves something more in depth.

“Here’s my number,” he said as he slid a card into my fingers. I felt the bumps, and my mouth dropped open. “Yes, I told you I have a blind friend. I went to see him last night after . . . that incident.”
“You are something else, Caleb,” I said as I reached out for a hug. I abruptly lowered my arms. “I’m sorry. Is it okay if I hug you?”
“Just hold my hand, please.” The whispered words were back, and my fingertips itched to lift his chin and command that he repeat himself. However, I reached for his hand, and he took it, electricity shooting from our joined hands up my spine. Holy hell!
I could feel his body shaking, and I yearned to hold him, to comfort him and tell him that he was safe with me. There was only one thing to do though, and I slowly unwound our fingers. Climbing the steps and opening the door, I turned back.
