But the club's newest boy—the tall, muscular Kenneth—captures his attention more than any man has for a while. If only Kenneth didn't belong to another Master.   After Kenneth's Master died, he allowed himself to be lured into a relationship as Master Preston's slave.

When Preston joins a sadomasochism club, Kenneth begins to yearn for the handsome, older Master the other boys speak so highly of. But he despairs of ever escaping the clutches of Preston, so resigns himself to his miserable fate.   Amidst turmoil at the club over whether there should be rules to keep the boys safe and in light of Preston's play for power, Saul searches for a way to save Kenneth from what he's sure is a deadly situation. However, there are several club members who refuse to give up the old traditions and insist that no restrictions be placed on their playtime.
