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

“Donald, we don’t have enough time for you to let me cool my heels with Sally,” Mavis said, almost shouting to get his attention.


“I’m sorry, Mavis. What did you say?”


“Brian may be in jeopardy,” Mavis said, her voice high with anxiety and agitation.


Mavis now had his full attention. “Tell me,” he said. Unlike knights on white chargers, Donald Drummond preferred to have the facts readily available before battle. Intelligence was the key to victory.


“I began to track down a number of Drummond employees who left without giving any notice or with so little notice there might as well have been none. Quite a few were minority employees or members of the gay and lesbian community.”


“That is not unusual, Mavis. We hire from the community. It is a community of small minority enclaves.”


“Donald,” Mavis almost screamed, “please let me continue.


That young man’s situation may be dire. You better hope they don’t know where he lives.”


“Quickly then Mavis, cut to the chase,” he stated.
