Gabbi Grey

Foster

I’m a successful entrepreneur who’s made a good life for himself. I’ve had a few intimate relationships, but none have lasted. Probably because I haven’t been able to be my authentic self. See, in my heart, I’m a pup. I want to curl into a wonderful Daddy and be petted, stroked, and praised. I long for piles with other puppies where we play and I can make friends. But who’s going to accept a forty-five-year-old man into that puppy pile?

Arnav

When I spot a good-looking man across the a BDSM playroom, I see myself twenty years from now. Only I hope I’ll have a smile instead of a forlorn look. I approach him, and learn he wants to be a pup. That’s great because I was made to be a Daddy, and becoming the handler for a sweet pup is no problem at all. Most people think I’m too young. Too inexperienced. Foster, though, sees the real me. The man who will happily give him what he truly wants

Jai

Six years ago, the guy I thought I loved told all my friends that I liked to wear paws and a tail and crawl on the floor being a puppy. He turned my private play into a cruel joke, and I ran. Left my friends, my family, home, job, as well as my puppy-play group, and tried to let distance and time heal those wounds. Now, I’ve been given the chance to serve as the director of the new Mission City Pride Camp for teens. But my fresh start turns sour when someone starts leaving dog treats on my desk. Can I stand up to bullying this time and show these kids they have a right to be themselves? Or am I going to run again?

Demetrius

When my best friend got cancer, marrying her was the only real help I could give. Then she died, and I was left trying to single-parent my hurting stepson and stepdaughter without her. When Keegan tells me he’s being bullied for being gay, I desperately want to help him gain resources to survive and thrive. Enrolling him at Pride Camp is step one, and I’m delighted to find the director is a pup I loved playing with back at Whatsup Pup Club. If anyone knows about being bullied and inner strength, it’s Jai. I’d love to reconnect with him on a personal level, too, but he keeps pretending he doesn’t recognize me. I figure leaving him reminder gifts is a good place to start, to show him I’m interested in man and pup. But he seems more and more stressed, and I wonder if I have it wrong. Is there any chance he’ll let me be the Daddy I was for those short, sweet moments six years ago? Can I take a load off his shoulders, or will he shut me out forever?

Lorcan
I had the world in the palm of my hand until a false accusation sent everything to hell. I’ve spent the past year struggling to reclaim my life. At fifty-two, though, I honestly feel my best years are behind me. Then my friend suggests I join him at Club Kink for pup night. Not sure how he knew I’d be interested, but it’s a night that changes my life.

Cody

When I came out as gay at sixteen, things got so rough I was barely making it through my days. A great therapist helped me survive, and even thrive. Now, as a newly minted psychologist, I hope to make that kind of difference for my own patients, LGBTQ or not. Inside, though, I have one more secret even my therapist never knew. And finally, I’ve found the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I keep telling my clients they need to reach for what’s important to their hearts. Tonight I’m reaching for mine, and hoping I find someone who wants what I have to offer.

Andre

Discovering my father was bigamously married to a woman on the other side of the country and was living two lives was a shock. To then find out that I have a brother I’ve never met living in Mission City, British Columbia, shakes my sense of family. I’ve reached out to him and let him know I’m coming to visit. Three problems. I’ve never flown in a plane, and I’m terrified. My brother doesn’t know I’m gay. And, most importantly, I don’t know if I can get through this trip without a chance to de-stress as a puppy, but I can hardly ask a stranger for the nearest kink venue.

 Zahir

Upon the death of my husband, a couple of years ago, I lost the love of my life. Marty was also my puppy. With his death, I tucked away my identity as a pup-Daddy, and tried to move on with my life. I’ve recently made some new friends as well as rescuing an adorable senior mutt. Friends, a real furbaby — my life should make me happy. But I yearn to be a Daddy again. At an airport, I spot a man who looks so lost that the Daddy in me can’t resist helping. At least I can offer Andre friendship…even as I yearn for more.

Raphael

My goal in life is to be left in peace. That just doesn’t seem possible. I have a dad who is fading away and needs my help. I have an ex-wife who constantly reminds me why we’re divorced. I’m struggling in a job I loathe. The only joy in my life is when I get to be a puppy and shed the crushing responsibilities for a while. The problem? I’m too chicken to attend pup night at Club Kink and I don’t know any Daddies in Mission City. So I’ve tucked that part of me away, and I just survive each day without it, but I’m running on fumes. In truth, something has to give.

Sloan

I love my life. Great job, great friends, great family. I have it all. What I don’t have is a partner. Specifically, I’m looking for a puppy. Finding one in Mission City might prove difficult, but I’m willing to try. Then a beautiful, damaged man crosses my path. My instinct to protect is strong. As is his resistance to accept my help. When we discover our desires align, it becomes my mission to help him find happiness. But convincing him he deserves to be cared for might be the toughest challenge I’ve ever undertaken.

Tobias

Years have passed since my last leading role, but the day I finally accept my has-been status, Vedant Roy comes knocking on my door. Damn fool thinks I’m perfect for the new movie he’s producing. He’s convinced I’ve still got it. Whatever it is. I can’t pass up the role of a lifetime, but between my fears this will be a flop and Vedant’s magnetic pull, I’m a mess. Why does this young man resurrect dreams and desires I thought I’d locked away long ago? And can I put in the performance the studio’s counting on, with Vedant lurking around?

Vedant

People say I’m too young to be a successful studio executive, but they’ve mostly shut up since my last series was a breakout hit. Still, in this business, you’re only as good as what you did today and I need another success story. I have a great project and I know the perfect leading man, too. Tobias has the talent and the gravitas to take this movie to the next level. But what I never expected was seeing the familiar signs of uncertainty and longing under that star persona. I’m not certain he recognizes the little in him, even as he calls to the Daddy buried deep inside me. Getting together while filming would be all kinds of wrong, but as Christmas approaches, someone needs to take care of that man.
