“Big-ass snake” is just a euphemism for a particularly oversized male appendage.

No actual reptiles are present in this story, or were harmed in the making of it. Pass on it if codependence and neediness isn’t your jam, or if you’re looking for something deep, dark, or angsty. Read this one if you like cinnamon, spanking, and big-ass snakes*, all served up with a side of possessive OTT sweetness that will turn you into just as much of a heart-eye emoji as Noah is. But what does surprise me is just how far he wants to take the total servitude thing once he’s got that collar on… and how fucking hot it turns out to be when he insists that anything goes.ĪNYTHING GOES is a 103,000-word dirty AF gay college romance between a cocky (not-so) straight boy who likes to call the shots, and his ride-or-die, babbling little mess of an adoring bestie, who may or may not have been pining for him all along. I mean, come on now, who wouldn’t be down with winning the rights to a little Master-slave action? Assuming, of course, that I end up “Master” in that scenario.īut instead of it being the hot chick I’d had my eye on who’s wearing the slave collar for me at the end of the night, turns out it’s my best friend, Noah.ĭrunk off his ass and total shit at poker even when sober? Yeah, not really a shocker when Noah loses.

Poker night in the freshman dorms is always a good time, but when someone tosses a collar in the pot, the game suddenly gets a little more interesting.
