Peace Within the Quiet — Sean Michael

Gloucester is a long-time Velvet Glove sub who's not getting any younger, and he's never found anyone to call his own. Then he meets Katashi, a quiet, serious Top, who's drawn to Gloucester, inviting him to a meal, and a session. The two of them find they have more in common than they thought, and begin a journey of a thousand miles with a single step.

Originally published on the Turn of the Screw Serial service and in the paperback volume, Velvet Glove 1.
