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

Those nursing homes were the type of places where they warehoused the elderly poor quite like the ones he visited when he first came back from school. Brian read newspaper exposés that reported institutions where they tied the patients to chairs and placed them en mass, in front of a blaring television, which the management passed off as recreation for the residents.


Others were reported for medication mishaps resulting in serious injury to the residents and this was an everyday occurrence. Mary played on his fears, calling Brian with constant demands that he up the ante for room and board.


He spent the last year paying all of Irene’s outstanding bills and meeting Mary’s ever-increasing demands. A few more pay checks would bring him enough money to pay the necessary fees to get Irene established in a decent assisted living facility.
