Puppy on a Leash
Emily Alter

Um. You know that friend who harbors a crush on the man everyone tells him it’s bad news?
That was me, and that was how I ended up knocking at Tony’s door and begging for his help with a college professor, and how shit got… derailed.
Tony
I was supposed to be keeping my distance from the inner circle at Plumas, dammit. I might’ve helped found the local BDSM club, but I didn’t belong in the inner circle, no matter what some of them had to say about it.
Jaime, though? I couldn’t deny the pup intrigued me. I’d always thought they needed to be put on a tight leash, and maybe doing it was what I needed to quell all those voices inside my head.

Puppy on a Leash includes puppy play (obviously), spankings that might or might not be as intimidating as they look, spider gags, a professor/student relationship but not really (they’re in different universities), and a group of friends who might or might not understand what’s going on in Jaime’s head most of the time. Hurt/comfort, milestone achievements, and themes of found family abound, too.
