A story from the Love Has No Boundaries event sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group.

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
An agile young slave is bent backward over the knees of his doting master; his bindings are loose and their arrangement is “in the cards”.
STORY LETTER
Dear Author,
This is a dystopian class-based society where being a slave boy is a prized position. For those not born into the wealthy class, there are few options for work. A position as a slave boy means security and safety from a life of poverty and the danger of the streets.
Dystopian - set in a world similar to ours but with a few tweaks. Usually a bit darker or a more frightening version of what our society could become
Thank you,
Bree Cheese (who loves dystopian novels and wishes there were more out there!)
