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

“Boy,” Bear snarled. “For causing this, you will shower alone and be done in less than fifteen minutes. I will see you in the breakfast room. Tell Maria I will have my coffee in exactly twenty minutes.” Brian looked back up and reacted like a jack rabbit chased by a fox. He headed through the hall to his suite and hurriedly used the less private hall shower while Bear used the one en suite.


As soon as Bear saw the white of Brian’s ass disappear around the corner, he broke into a full-throated laugh. How his boy managed to tease and play with his uncertain temper and avoid the consequences was beyond his comprehension. However, Bear mused, the cub only baited Papa when they were alone.


In public, he was respectful to the point of reverence, and he seemed to have an innate sense of timing.
