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 need to keep you here until the neurologist sees the scans. Jim here is going to talk to you and make sure you don’t go to sleep right now. Although I see no swelling in the brain, someone needs to be with you and Jim is a licensed PA. You will have a nasty headache tonight and feel nauseous on occasion. I can’t tell you more until I get the test results.”


Cisco turned to Bear and said, “Buddy, you need a cup of coffee right now with me.”


Bear noticed Cisco’s demand and followed him out of the room. “Is this kid a sub?” Cisco asked immediately.


“That’s good, Don, because if he was, I was going to kill you with my bare hands.”


“Cisco, you know better than that. I do not hurt my subs. At most, nipple clamps and spankings. I did not fucking do this, and I am going to have the balls of the people who did. He is mine, damn it, or he will be soon enough.”
