There are aspects I really really liked in this story and aspects that made me uncomfortable.I liked Cavan and I liked reading the glimpses into his mind, what he was thinking, what he was feeling. I tend to be on the side of the sub when I read a D/s story. We don't get much of Cavan, but what we do get is moving and heartbreaking.I can't say the same for Biton. I wasn't able to find a connection with him, even if he does a lot of things right and he is really sincere in his relationship with Cavan, he tries to help him as much as he can. I liked when he showed Cavan the tenderness of love making, when he tried to make him undertand that he had a choice. There are two things that made me uncomfortable: the fact that at the beginning he knew that Cavan was abused and still had sex with him restraining him (I know he didn't know the extent of the abuse, but I wouldn't have taken Cavan in the playroom so soon) and the fact that he contemplated Love very quickly. But kudos for seeking a therapist for Cavan and suspending sexual contacts as the therapist told him to do.I also think that the "criminal" aspect of the plot was too out of proportion in such a short story.I would recommend this story for the hurt/comfort aspects of it. I'm going to read the sequel.
