Limitless
by Sjd PetersonAn Underground Club TaleEven within the context of the Underground BDSM Club, Joshua's desires are dark and extreme. Hopelessly addicted to pain and the high it gives him, he has no limits. Joshua would quite literally rather die than use a safeword, and he accepts that might be his fate. As much as he depends on others, he has yet to find a man who can gain his trust, and he has little hope that he ever will. For Nash, acquiring Joshua from another Dom at the club is only the first step in what will be a long and arduous road to lure the young man back from the brink of self-destruction. He must do the impossible and win Joshua's trust, and he must be the one to set limits in their exploration--something he's unaccustomed to as a Dom. But Nash knows dominance doesn't always mean pushing a submissive's boundaries. It's about establishing a bond and fulfilling another man's needs. In Joshua's case, he'll have to strike a balance between meeting the young man's expectations and drawing firm lines that will save Joshua from himself.
