Ash has only ever known pain and humiliation, his father has only ever treated him like a piece of meat instead of a son, so being sold to the highest bidder… yeah that tracks. Ash is baffled by his new owner, he seems nice if a little off, Giancarlo is not hurting him, not shouting at him, not giving him rules… Ash is at a loss, he has been taught to always follow the rules, always be a good boy, but how can he do that when Giancarlo doesn’t want anything from him, so they strike a deal, Ash can earn his freedom… but what if he doesn’t want to be free? What is if he just wants to Giancarlo’s?

Giancarlo is not normal, he knows that, anyone that lays eyes on him, knows that. On a collection he decides that he’s sees something for him… Ash…  He bought him on a whim but he doesn’t know what to do with the innocent virgin who talks a mile a minute and has a billion questions…. Ash is a conundrum a mask of innocence and meek will until he’s challenged, then his true fire is shown, funny and sarcastic… Giancarlo strikes a deal with the man, what he didn’t expect was the filthy power house with stamina unmatched to replace the innocent little twink. Giancarlo is taken by surprise which he revels in. This twink needs him and wants him, a way no one ever has. How will Giancarlo ever let him go when the time comes. He knows Ash is meant to be his, how can he convince him to stay?
