Author's Summary:
Professional dom!AU, wherein Clayton got full custody of Ian when he was ten years old and Mickey somehow found the redhead’s website, outlining the services he provides.

Review:
Mickey is not exactly someone who seems to be all that submissive (and he's not, outside of specific scenarios). That makes this all the better. I just love how he's still so much himself, but he also likes being tied up and ordered around the bedroom. He even straightforwardly hires himself a dom because it's something he needs and wants. That he meets Ian and they click so well is another matter altogether. An awesome other matter that makes for some really hot scenes.

A few things. Ian does still have other clients that he sees while he's seeing Mickey as well (he's doing this for money, after all). You don't and can't forget this, as Mickey is confronted with that fact a few times, though Mickey himself is all right with this for the most part. There's also a scene at the end where you find out that Ian has a boyfriend, except said boyfriend knows all about Ian's prostituting and is accepting of it (though nothing about Mickey). Still, it was a bit of a jolt for me, and not an entirely pleasant one at that.

But I still enjoyed this fic. There's a lot of sex scenes, but Mickey and Ian's encounters with each other mostly revolve around Mickey's sessions with Ian. So it's understandable (or so I tell myself, um). It's fun and hot and sometimes you want to knock the characters's heads together, but it all works out in the end in a satisfying way.
