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

“Brian, I don’t make a big deal of it, but I’m also gay, I’ve been out since my teens. With your permission, you and I are going to rid this company of Mr. Robbins and his cohort, Mrs.


Mueller, and put the rest of Drummond Real Estate on notice.


We won’t stand for harassment of any kind.” Donald buzzed Sally from the phone on the table next to the sofa. “Sally, call Mavis and tell her I want Brian Murphy’s employment file on my desk in two minutes.”
