The bittersweet tale of Bear and his Boy -- a BDSM Dom and his fledgling Sub -- who live “the life” in west central New Jersey, just north of Trenton. Donald K. Drummond is the Master of all he surveys -- a legend in commercial real estate in New Jersey by day and by night a Master Dom at the gay BDSM club, Indiscreet. What he couldn't find was a boy to call his own. That all changed when a nerd with taped glasses and worn Dockers barged into his office spilling his bottle of 1985 Bourdeau over his priceless Persian carpet. Brian Murphy came with a host of troubles, the least of which was his grasping aunt, his invalid mother, and his rather tenuous position in Donald's mail room. Can a Dom with issues of his own come to train and trust a needy boy from his own mailroom? It's all A Matter of Trust.

A Matter of Trust

The kid looked up, squared his shoulders into a pleasing line, and answered Donald as if trained to submission for years. “My name is Brian Murphy, Sir. I work in your mailroom.”


Donald didn’t listen to the kid’s answer so much as watch his body language in fascination. He crossed back to the couch and sat in close to test the waters. Donald’s gaydar never failed. The kid was gay, thank God. Did he have the submissive tendencies Donald suspected? Was Brian the type of boy he sought? Could his Master train him to absolute obedience? Donald knew he needed complete control in order to trust a boy again. Maybe Brian would have the strength to train if he felt strong emotions for his Master. Could Donald engender strong emotions in Brian Murphy?
