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 looked around at what he supposed was his room. The bed was king sized and the mattress one of the most comfortable he had ever tested, not that he had tested many. For all of his age and his determined stand in defense of his sexual orientation, Brian’s past held just one ex-lover, his college roommate, Alan.


All of the rest of his sexual play had occurred at the club.


The Dom would get off on the whipping, and he would get off in the shower later. He knew if he was honest with himself, pain was not his overriding aphrodisiac. It was control, giving over control and submitting to a physically superior, dominant, raw, alpha male. Donald K. Drummond fit him to a tee.
