Cory was a one million dollar baby hold in captivity by the same man who possesed his father and, after his father's dead, has killed his mother. Cory is like a slave, if he wants to eat he has to fight, fuck or suck. But he feels no rage for his master, he wants only love, a warm embrace, even if from the very man who holds in leashed.

But one night he meets the eyes of Michael, a former fighter, now retired. Michael is tall and muscular but he has a gentle smile. And in his eyes he reads the same things he used to read in his mother eyes: love. And so he knows he can no more live like this and he has only a way to be free: die.

Michael fall in love at first sight with Cory. He doesn't know why, but when he sees this guy he only wants to protect him, to care for him, to love him. No other matter, not his life or his work. Cory is an innocent soul. He only knows how to give, not to receive: he doesn't know he could receive something, he thinks he not deserve to receive nothing. And instead Michael gives to him all and asks nothing for that.

This is not a long romance, but in few pages Sedonia Guillone has written a tender story, with two hearthbreaking characters. I don't know who I prefer: Cory, who can love also his tormentor, or Michael, who fall in love at first sight like a teenager.
