PROLOGUE

AMBROSE FAREYE

As I sit here in my new house, I look back over my life and it is hard for me to imagine that I was born twenty-eight years ago into this city of humid warmth and coastal beauty. It is a city where the sun seems eternally present, and the scent of the sea is never far away. Tampa, Florida, is my first and most enduring love, the city where I took my first breath and coming back here is bittersweet.

Growing up in Tampa, my childhood was bathed in sunshine, beautiful sunsets and the hustle and bustle of tourists in the heart of Florida's Gulf Coast. I remember the laughter of family gatherings, the echoes of baseball games that resonated in the air, and the countless hours spent at the beach, where the sand felt like a warm embrace beneath my young feet. The city's blend of Cuban, Spanish, and American influences created a rich tapestry of experiences that would shape my life in ways I couldn't have foreseen.

My fascination for the game of baseball was ignited at a young age, and I would spend countless hours in my neighborhood park, perfecting my skills with my dad. As I matured, my love for the sport deepened, and I knew that I wanted to contribute to this world of athleticism.

In my high school years, baseball wasn't just a game; it was a passion that consumed my every waking moment. I was the one always seen with a baseball glove, the unmistakable crack of a bat echoing through my neighborhood as I practiced tirelessly. Those sunny Florida afternoons were filled with the camaraderie of teammates and the sweat of dedication. Playing for my high school team, I honed my skills, and it was there that I realized that I had a future in the sport I loved. The scouts took notice of the dedication and hard work, and it was no surprise that I earned a spot at the University of Florida on a full scholarship after high school. It was a dream come true, a chance to play at the college level, representing not just my school but the entire state of Florida.

My college years were marked by both success and challenges. I poured my heart and soul into the game, and it was during my senior year that an unexpected opportunity arose. The Atlanta Furies, a Major League Baseball team, drafted me, turning my dreams into reality. That moment was one of unbridled joy, a culmination of years of effort and perseverance. I embarked on my professional baseball career with determination, representing the Atlanta Furies with pride. The exhilaration of playing at that level was unlike anything I had experienced before.

It was during my time playing professional baseball when I entered the world of BDSM. It was a time when the glory and pressure of professional baseball consumed my days, and the quiet solitude of my personal life begged for exploration. It was a world I had never considered before, one that seemed a world apart from the testosterone-fueled atmosphere of the baseball diamond. Little did I know that this exploration would uncover desires I had long repressed.

My first glimpse into the world of BDSM came through a chance encounter with a fellow player, a teammate who, unlike the rest of us, bore no hesitation in exploring the darker realms of pleasure and pain. He would talk to me about his experiences and explain the Lifestyle to me.

As my curiosity grew, I decided to accompany my teammate to a play party one night. What I found there was a world of opulence shrouded in shadows, a world where inhibitions melted away and people explored the deepest recesses of their desires. My initial experience was overwhelming, a sensory overload that left me both intrigued and apprehensive. The sounds of whispered desires, the sight of provocative attire, and the scent of anticipation hung in the air. As I ventured deeper into this seductive labyrinth, I observed the rituals of dominance and submission with a mixture of awe and trepidation.

Over the last few years, I continued to explore the intricacies of BDSM, participating in workshops and immersing myself in the lifestyle. The duality of my existence, the disciplined athlete on the field and the passionate Dom became an integral part of who I was. As I ventured deeper into the world of BDSM, I also grappled with questions of identity and desire. The realization that I was not alone in my yearnings, that there were others who shared my passions, was both liberating and affirming. I found that BDSM was a world where authenticity was celebrated, where the masks we wore in our everyday lives could be shed, and where the true self could emerge. The lifestyle also taught me valuable lessons about communication and consent. Negotiation, a cornerstone of BDSM, emphasized the importance of clear boundaries and mutual agreement. Trust was the currency of this world, and it was the foundation on which every scene was built. The bonds forged through BDSM were built on a deep understanding of one another, on a level of intimacy that transcended the physical.

Now here I am again back in the city where it all started. Last year was my fourth year with the Atlanta Furies, a pivotal moment on the baseball diamond changed the course of my career. As I slid into home plate, the adrenaline pumping through my veins, I felt a searing pain in my knee. The diagnosis was harsh but undeniable, a torn ACL. It was a crushing blow, one that sent me into a world of rehabilitation and uncertainty. The game that had been my life, the sport that had taken me from Tampa to college and then to the professional league, was now in my rear-view mirror. My whole life changed during that one slide into home plate. Yet, the challenge of recovery and the desire to return to the field burned within me. Fate had its own plans and even though I couldn’t play anymore it was that passion of the game that led me to my current profession.

As the baseball season gets
