Lucca is twenty-five, human, spoiled, and very happily owned.
On Aconche, humans are pets. For Lucca, that means a collar, a cozy crate, rules, discipline—and O’li, the seven-foot alien botanist he adores more than anything in the universe.
Four years after O’li chose him, Lucca knows exactly where he belongs: at Daddy’s side. Unfortunately, O’li occasionally has to do unreasonable things like go to work without him.
When an important laboratory problem sends O’li across the city and Lucca to daycare, one very long alien day puts Lucca’s separation anxiety, obedience, and determination to be a good pup to the test. There are strange art projects, terrible nutritional paste, new friends, public discipline, an alien market, and one extremely necessary treat waiting along the way.
But no matter how strange Aconche becomes, Lucca is learning one thing for certain: home isn’t a place. It’s wherever O’li comes back for him.
A cozy, kinky, slice-of-life MM sci-fi romance featuring an alien Daddy, his bratty human pup, pet play, caretaking, discipline, and a very strange planet that is only beginning to open up around them.
