Pistols and Plush Toys
D. Dove
Being the son of the head of the Russian mafia means that Nikolai has learned from a young age how to be hard. Ruthless. And with the Italians taking liberties on his turf, he knows he has to send a strong message. If that message has to come from Elliot Brooks, Mattia Vitale's sobbing boyfriend, tied up in an abandoned warehouse, then so be it.
But Nikolai is not a cruel man. And as he learns that being Mattia's lover might not have been… easy for Elliot, Nikolai starts to treat Elliot with a softer touch...
Pistols & Plush Toys has a 3 dove rating for some on-page SA and DV (not overly graphic and not between MCs), gaslighting, manipulation, food issues, trauma, mafia-typical violence, hurt/comfort, and plushophilia. It has a guaranteed happily ever after.
