Rowan couldn't remember a time when he was truly happy. Especially not suffering from his mother's so-called care or his father's complete indifference.

The only time he was even a little bit free was every Friday night at the club with his friends.

And even there, he wasn't ever quite good enough. Not quite good enough to relax and let his Little self truly come out to play, and especially never good enough to get a Daddy of his very own.

And to further complicate things, he'd adored Master Gabriel from afar for the last two years, except Master Gabriel was a Dom that wanted boys on their knees, and Rowan just wanted to be in his lap.

Then Rowan makes a really bad decision out of desperation and Master Gabriel comes to his rescue. Will Master Gabriel discover that Rowan is exactly what he's been searching for all this time? Or will he simply pick up his whip and go look elsewhere, leaving Rowan just a Little alone.
