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

“They lied. I put them in separate rooms and one asshole tried to incriminate the other asshole. In exchange for resignations and not filing discrimination charges with the Feds, they were willing to sign affidavits absolving Drummond from any guilt along with standard non-disclosure forms and non-competitive clauses. I gave them a week’s salary for every year of service, because you told me I had to do it. They were also given prepaid insurance for one year or until gainful employment and coverage of another policy, again, due to your insistence.


“I documented their blatant abuse of the young man and the possible legal ramifications of their behavior. I specifically spelled out to Robbins that the young man could file both criminal and civil suits against him in Federal Court. He had violated Federal Discrimination Laws and assaulted his victims. He just smirked. I informed him he could do time and be forced to pay damages to Brian Murphy and he smirked at me, Donald!”
