Struggling to hold on . . .
Connor is beginning to realize what he's up against. A system that's kidnapped hundreds of young men like him. Broken them, trained them, and sold them to the highest bidder.
And step by step, they're doing it to him. Molding his body. Conditioning him to obey. Getting him ready for auction.
Connor still thinks that he can fight them. That he'll be different from all the other boys they've taken. That he'll find a way to save himself and his frat brother, Jake. But with every step in his training, it's getting harder to keep believing that.
Connor tells himself that he's only pretending to break. That it's just an act, a way to buy time while he plans his escape. That he's not really giving in to their conditioning.
But maybe the only person that Connor is fooling is himself.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:This is a work of fiction, and no actual jocks were enslaved or harmed in the making of this book.
Per the Kobo standards for erotic fiction, readers are assured that prior to any sexual activity every character in the book takes the following precautions:
• They check the ID of all other parties to the sexual activity and confirm that they are eighteen years or older and legally of age in the jurisdiction in which the book is being read.
• They submit to genetic testing to verify that none of their sexual partners are siblings, cousins, or other close relations of theirs.
• They are tested for sexually transmitted diseases — whether real or fictional — and are cleared by a doctor to safely have sex with other fictional characters.
• They are inspected by a veterinarian to confirm that they are not an animal or mythical creature.
• They sign informed consent documents for each of the sex acts that they perform in the book, which are then notarized and stored in a secure location.
• In the case of BDSM play, they establish a safe word with their partners and quietly whisper "I am consenting to the activity we are performing" throughout the sex act. In situations where a gag has been employed, they communicate the same information by sign language. If both bound and gagged, they communicate the information by tapping out morse code with their foot.
For the sake of brevity and a coherent narrative, the author may omit the description of each character performing each of these precautions. However, readers should assume that these steps have been taken throughout the story.
