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

He advised the boy to start to bulk up and train to be able to meet the bullies on equal terms. Cisco knew from experience they only left you alone if you were not afraid and the only time you were not afraid was when you could give as good as you got.


In return for those extra fifteen minutes on a busy Friday night, Cisco found himself appointed Chief of Staff of St.


Ann’s hospital by the Board when the old chief retired. A Search Committee formed along with a Building and Trust Fund to bring St. Ann into the 21stcentury. Don Drummond chaired one committee and served as treasurer for the other.


Called to Mr. Drummond’s office at the hospital, Cisco thought he was about to be asked to resign. Cisco was gay and the leader of the group of doctors who pushed for reform in the hospital’s archaic attitudes and a bigger capital-spending budget so they could adequately serve the community.
