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

“Okay, but we may have to make a quick stop at the mall. Do you know what time they close?”


Reed chuckled. “Of course I do. You lock yourself up there in your ivory tower all day and never see regular folks. I deal with waiters, dishwashers, cooks, maids, in addition to the membership. The stores are running back to school sales. They will be open until eleven.”


Bear folded his bulk into Reed’s black Jag. They were silent during the five-minute ride to 225 Clinton, home of Police Headquarters and Trenton’s Municipal Court.


“Do you think Martino will still be there?” Reed asked.


“He’ll wait for us. Remember, I trained him,” Bear answered easily.


“Yeah, that’s right. Martino has been a member of Indiscreet for five years. I forgot who showed him the ropes.”
