So when my mother’s latest boyfriend discovers what I’ve been hiding, I run, even though I’ve got nowhere to go. DASHIELL DAVIS knows it's not safe to want the things he wants. At least, not while he's living at home. It's why he keeps his desires a secret, and why he's saving up to get away. But when his mother's latest boyfriend discovers what Dash has been hiding, there's no time to save anything. Dashiell has to run. Even if he's got nowhere to go. CALLUM MOORE knows it's not right to want the things he wants. At least, not outside of the business world. Taking charge of his company and ruling it with an iron fist may have brought him success in the boardroom, but in the bedroom, he's convinced himself that it's not healthy to want that level of control. Until he finds a boy who needs it. In Daddy's Care is a 36,000-word gay romance featuring an age gap, a barely legal virgin who likes pretty things, a Daddy who tries to deny that he wants to be one, an interfering piece of sass who likes to stick his nose into other people's business - well, mostly just his uncle Cal's, but eventually Dashiell's, too - and a gift from Daddy that finally makes sweet little Dash feel... secure. Publishing History: This novella was first published in the 2023 Dirty Daddies Pride anthology. No substantial changes have been made to the story.
