Pay to Play

Rate this book
After Brady's dad loses his job due to injury, he and Brady struggle to make ends meet. Brady knows there's only one way he can earn the money they need, only one way to bring in the kind of cash that can prevent their house from being foreclosed on–by becoming a camboy.

With his alter-ego character Blue, Brady starts performing on live streams, taking tips for his audience's escalating requests. Soon, the hard boundaries Brady made between himself and Blue start to blur as the money and attention keep pouring in.

When Brady gets a message promising a whole lot of money for an extremely taboo private video, Brady doesn't say no. The kind of Daddy play this patron wants could get Brady in a lot of trouble, but with so much money on the line, Brady finds himself willing to break his own rules, and maybe even enjoy himself in the process…

Pay to Play is a 32,000 word novella with a 6 dove rating for father/son incest, noncon, somnophilia, Daddy kink, sex work, sex toys, voyeurism, and deception.

Reread: 20 September 2025.


Then, everything was ready. He swallowed hard, looking at himself on the screen. He shifted to check his dad’s sleeping face. He was still out. Brady was really going to do this. He was really, really going to do this.

Another great novella by D Dove. Despite knowing where it's going, the buildup and eventual scenes were still satisfying.

If you're into noncon somnophilia and father/son incest, this is the book for you. It's drugged noncon somno. 👀

My only complaint is that I want more Dove books.


Moments:

On the third day, Brady gathered his courage and signed himself up on sex work site.


Now discomfort oozed in. Because not only was Brady thinking about messing around with his dad, he was considering doing it without his consent. His dad would be unconscious, an unknowing participant.


That was fucked. That was so, so fucked.


It was dizzying to know that he’d done that. That he was pleasing his Daddy.


Brady turned off the camera and the light. He stood there in the dark naked, waiting for his eyes to adjust. He’d expected the guilt and shame, but he hadn’t prepared for the ache.





Kinks/content: Smashwords, father/son incest, noncon somnophilia, sex work (cam boy), sex toys (dildos, ejaculating dildo, butt plug, dildos with knots, inflatable dildos), lingerie, Daddy kink, deception, first time.

Well that was all kinds of wrong, but well-written, engaging wrongness just the same. My only complaint was wanting more than the somewhat abrupt ending. Taboo to the max but done with care.

I am literally obsessed. I just don’t have words. I rarely blush. But good Lordy this book. The ending! THE ENDING! Jesus Christ.

Camboy + actual Daddy + somno = obviously I was going to love this and I did! I do wish we’d gotten more after the big reveal but this was such a fun read. The blurring of lines between Brady and his online persona was so well done 👏🏻

everything but the last chapter was perfect :') yes, i saw that ending coming from a mile away, but i still had hope, ok? i'll just make my headcanon and pretend that this last chapter doesn't exist, because i don't wanna taint all the fabulous angst and boiling hot smut i got ♡

‼️ MAJOR SPOILER ALERT NOW ‼️ there's no way of discussing my pet peeves further without spoiling. you've been warned.

so... ok, i get it, y'all have a kink for completely creepy fathers, nothing wrong with that! truly, i'm quite literally the last person who could judge y'all! but i like my fictional incestuous fathers dealing with crippling guilt, being caring and, well, fatherly.

when you have paragraphs over paragraphs of the son thinking about how painfully he misses his father, and what gets him going on for the first time is remembering the hugs, security and care he used to get from his dad, it's hard not to get pissed off with the conclusion being that the father had been beating his meat to his son's suffering for months.

making your son (who worries about your depressive state 24/7 and became a sex worker majorly because he couldn't handle your pain anymore) carry all of the guilt over the lust alone, and secretly tempt him with money until he gives in while believing he became a pervert and abuser of his own father... well, there's nothing that could make me hate a character more.

idc if it turns the sex scenes "consensual"; non-con from the son, given the story's circumstances, was a ten times less awful outcome. besides, it also makes for a more interesting, tragic story from both sides, and way more compelling big reveal.

before that last chapter, this is a story about a depressed father slipping further away each day, poverty and longing driving a son to the extreme, and the tension of what will happen when that broken father discovers the lengths his son has gone for them. after that final chapter, the story is reshaped into a suffering, longing son being manipulated by his secretly horny father into becoming an abuser and hating himself. i prefer the first option much more — and that's where my four stars are at.

I can’t find any reason not to give this a full five stars, so imagine me throwing them at all the words in this book.



He wouldn’t even need that much either, just enough to get them out of the red. Brady wouldn’t need to make this a career to afford the mortgage. If he could get just a couple hundred people willing to pay to see him, then–then it would be enough.



I’m… obsessed? I think I love it.

The twist was exactly my first thought of how everything would play out, but it was written so well, I don’t have any complaints.



Maybe Blue was an exhibitionist, excited for the venture. Excited to get in front of a camera and take his clothes off. Blue liked to perform for strangers behind screen names.

Right? Right.




Suddenly he wasn’t shy and anxious Brady, he was someone else.

Blue.




That was what Blue would do, but he wasn’t Blue right now. He was supposed to be, but something had slipped and that character had fallen away when Brady wasn’t looking. In the camera was his own guilty face, eyes wide and dark. His bottom lip was swollen from where he’d been biting it.



The separation of Brady and Blue was so interesting and such a fun way to throw Brady’s morals to the wind (after a little dilemma). The way Brady just wants to make everything better for his dad(dy)? Stoppppp.



And maybe it made what Brady was doing on the Internet easier too. This was direct evidence that what he was doing mattered, it was making a difference. Even if his dad didn’t know where the money was coming from, being able to cook, being able to get the collection notices off their back, that mattered.



I just really loved Brady and his internal struggle. The final chapter was extra icing on the cupcake and holds my favorite (twist-spoiling) quote:

Brady was almost ripe for taking, but not yet. Slow and steady would get them there.

I believe this is the first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m certain it won’t be the last.

One of this author's best works, and a new favorite of mine. The build up was done amazingly and the tension during the taboo scenes were crazy good. I loved the ending, you could see it coming but it was still very satisfying. Now I need a sequel really bad.

4.5⭐

Pues le iba a poner las 5 estrellas porque me lo he pasado genial, pero es que no termina.

¿Y LUEGO QUÉ?

Cómo me lo dejas ahí????????

Quiero ver a Brady enterarse de que DaddyBlu3 es literalmente su padre. No vale dejarlo en medio de la nada, jo.

Pero la verdad es que me ha ENCANTADO. Adoro todo lo de los streams que hace, me encanta cómo se prepara y cómo se lo toma tan en serio y verlo avanzar e ir ganando seguidores ha sido muy interesante. Sospeché que era el padre desde el principio así que estaba muy atenta a sus comentarios y me ha gustado un montón como Brady va cayendo poco a poco en lo turbio hasta que ya no puede evitar dejarse llevar porque se siente demasiado bien.

Por eso, por lo mucho que me ha encantado, me da tanta rabia que se quede ahí.

D. Dove cannot disappoint. From the content warnings and description, it's obvious where the story heads. To a father and son doing some not so family friendly things. What's not obvious is how you get there. The buildup is tantalizingly sexy and well played out. There were so many parts after DaddyBlu3 was introduced that I was expecting one thing, but pleasantly surprised to see it head in a different direction. Not your typical incest story.
Minus one star for several grammatical and spelling errors (not too hard to work out).

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Content Warnings:
- Somnophilia (Dubcon)
- Father/Son Incest

- Survival Sex Work in the beginning
- Dubcon

Kinks:

It's well written and hot. But I only give it two stars because there is no confrontation/things getting out in the open at any point.
The entire story is leading up to the father and son colliding and it just never happens. It feels like one long dirty tease of a book without any release.
The story is essentially unfinished.

Kudos for the premise and the writing. Was horrible disappointed by the lack of a proper ending.

Really good! Dad is injured on the job and so his son (Brady) has to quit college and go to work to save their house and pay all the bills. Problem is, he can't make enough money at his convenience store job, so he starts camming. This becomes a slippery slope and one viewer has some unusual requests of him....but offers big money he can't resist. I wish there was a bit more insight into the dad in this story (told from the Brady's point of view).

ще одна добре написана smut-heavy оповідочка з questionable елементами. останнім часом мені ці книжечки заходять якось на ура аж, лол. лузаю їх, як сємочки! облаштування сюжету тут було органічним, сцени сексу чудові, напруга та мотивації — on point. розв'язка була цілком очікувана, але прикольна й gratifying all the same. в декотрих митях не можна не помітити певної схожості з 'family affair' цього ж автора, але мені обидві зайшли, тож нарікань не маю. сиквел би таки отілось, однак 👀

“D-daddy–” He moaned, high and needy. “P-please, I–”
His dad’s cock kept hitting him deep, plunging right into his core, and almost popping out when he pulled up. The sounds of it filled the room, skin slapping wetly together. He turned back to the screen to watch it, to see the thick length ruining his ass.


I need my 'cest stories to be well written, have hot sexy times, and for there to be a loving connection between the MC's and this story hits all the targets. The final sex scene was filthy hot..I think I'm blushing. I loved the ending from daddy's POV! It wrapped up all my questions but I wish we got an epilogue with them or maybe a part 2???

Honestly a pretty decent novella. Someone recommended this to me and I had never read Dove’s work before so I didn’t know what to expect. The writing was good for a smut book, I actually felt there was a decent plot. The plot twist got me at the end because I was NOT expecting that. You kind of want a part 2 after that. Good and quick novella

I enjoyed this book very much! I loved Brady’s struggle with his desires and the internal battle he faced. If only he knew the truth. The ending was disappointing. I would have loved a confrontation and relationship progression but I guess you could only expect so much from a novella. A follow up from Clayton’s POV or maybe alternating POV would be awesome

It started off strong and the writing was good, but I was hoping for some more interaction between the MCs. Too much inner monologue and repetitive. I ended up skipping lots of pages just to get to the good stuff. The smut was hot when it got there. Although, the ending was disappointing. I wanted the truth to be revealed. It felt unfinished.

What a yummy novella. Though I wanted more between the two.

So the build up is quite slow and natural and kinky. I liked the whole camboy set up. And I wished there was more between the two consensually. It is still a wonderful book but I wished for the last chapter to be longer.

Well.....that was an anti-climax🫠

Really loved the build-up, but I'm dissapointed with the ending. Yeah, it's implied what's going to happen....but weren't we as readers all expecting of actually reaching that point? Praying there will be a sequel cuz this didn't satisfy me 🫤

Loved this book. I was looking for something like this. However I will say the plot twist was quite predictable. I still enjoyed it very much.
