Marcus taught Thomas to embrace who he is, a sexual submissive who responds to the touch of only one Master. But when Thomas's father died, his North Carolina family needed him, so Marcus let him go. Now he knows he made a mistake. Since Thomas abandoned a promising art career in New York, Marcus offers Thomas a way back into it. On one condition-Thomas must spend a week with him in the Berkshires. Marcus knows he can be a selfish bastard. And he won't hesitate to use that to give his submissive everything Thomas truly needs.
