The Cost Of Touch

The Cost of Touch

Gavin Davenport is the man everyone envies. Powerful CEO by day, polished and untouchable. But at night, he lives behind a mask as Silas—a discreet, high-end escort who gives his clients exactly what they crave: pleasure, safety, or simply the illusion of being seen.

He never expected Calla Faraday.

Shattered by years in an abusive relationship, Calla isn’t looking for romance—just a way to remember how to feel safe in her own skin. Hiring Silas is a risk she’s terrified to take, but from the moment he looks at her, she realizes this isn’t a transaction. It’s a lifeline.

As Calla slowly reclaims her power, Gavin’s walls begin to crumble. She makes him want more than the mask, more than his double life—more than he deserves. But Gavin has secrets that could shatter them both, and when the world they’ve built is threatened, he must decide if he’s willing to risk everything…

Because some touches heal—and some cost everything.

⚠️ Trigger Warnings

• Past emotional, verbal, and physical abuse (Calla’s ex)

• On-page violence and brief assault (ex confronts Calla)

• Themes of power imbalance (escort/client dynamic)

• Explicit sexual content (consensual)

• Gavin’s morally gray actions (revenge & destruction of the ex’s life)

All violence and sexual content is consensual and handled with care, with healing and empowerment themes throughout.

🔥 Spice Level:

🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5 (High Spice)

• Multiple explicit sex scenes that range from tender to intense and dominant

• Includes light praise, mild possessiveness, and sensual exploration with a strong emotional bond

• Balanced with an emotional slow burn—spice escalates as Calla regains control and confidence

Think: slow-burn tension that builds to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing intensity.
