STILL CALLING HIM DAD: ISOLATED GATE, ABSOLUTE CLAIM by Zane Croft

Months into the isolation, Ryan already wears the permanent steel around his throat and the locked cage that never opens. The remote gate has closed behind them. The new house sits deep among the pines, far from any road that matters. Mark has rewritten every rule around the body he owns—longer retention, heavier chains, the constant low hum of a plug that stays seated for days. Ryan’s belly stays soft with what he is made to keep. The silence has become ordinary.

Then Mark opens the next folder.

A third man will cross the locked gate under absolute hierarchy. Every touch, every load, every moment of shared use will route through the only voice Ryan is allowed to answer. Jealousy will be harvested. Arousal will be directed. The training room will hold them for multi-day continuous protocol while the gate remains closed and the notebooks grow thicker. What began as grief and forbidden want has become a sealed property, a welded collar, and a body that no longer remembers unlocked nights or empty mornings.

Still Calling Him Dad is the final, unflinching volume of absolute ownership—remote isolation, permanent metal, open-ended retention, and the quiet terror of realizing there is no version of yourself left that wants to leave.

Content warnings: extreme power exchange, permanent chastity and body modification, isolation, hierarchical sharing, intense psychological possession.
