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

“I don’t do discipline unless it is specifically requested. Do you wish to be disciplined on a daily basis, Boy?”


“What would please me is for you to answer my question. Do you require daily discipline to stay in a submissive head space?”


“That is better, boy. You answered my question. Other Dominants may train their submissives to answer their questions with platitudes.” Bear mimed a sub, “Whatever pleases you, Sir.”


“I have no opinion but yours, Sir.’” Bear grimaced. “I prefer an open, honest relationship. Whether you feel you require or do not require discipline, the choice is ultimately mine. However, if I ask a question, I would like an honest, well-thought-out answer.


I do not want to live with an automaton. Since you did wake me without seeing to my immediate needs, I will put five strokes on your ass sometime today. Now, my dear boy, give due diligence to your Papa Bear.”
