After being in both a romantic and D/s relationship for more than three years, Royce Cunningham and Jack Parker have decided to take the next step and move in together. What neither of them could have ever predicted was a global pandemic complete with a quarantine and social distancing to happen around the same time.<br><br>Now they're struggling to navigate through these trying times while also dealing with the normal stresses of learning to live together. In doing so, they've unintentionally let a few cracks run through part of the foundation of their relationship.<br><br>It'll be up to the both of them to recognize what they need, and maybe a special quarantine-edition playdate or two, to patch up those cracks and remind themselves that even in a world of new normals, they can still be the same to each other as they've always been.

Bring Your Sub to Work Day

Holy shit, did Jack really intend to do this for the next two hours?


Okay. Okay, no, that’d…that’d be just fine; Royce could handle it. He just had to slow his breathing. Right. That’s right. In through the nose, out through the mouth. He could just…ignore how good this felt, yes. It’d be easy.

This wasn’t toe curling and muscle tightening and heart pounding pleasure.


Oh, no. No, no, Royce was going to come if Jack kept this up and he didn’t have permission and he wasn’t supposed to talk and he didn’t know what to do


Breathless and dizzy, Royce did the first thing that came to mind and shook his head. Fast and hard and desperate, and it must’ve been the right choice because not only did Jack take his hand away, he smiled approvingly.
