There are places where men and women can be as nature intended: either dominant or submissive, without fear of recrimination... University athlete Gerwald is a former farm boy with a gift for playing football and tinkering with technology. This jack-of-all-trades, however, has one skill even he is unaware of: he has the domineering qualities natural of a man born to be someone's Master. His potential is clear to the practiced eye of wealthy, mysterious Garret Steele, who takes Gerwald under his wing. Under Steele's tutelage, Gerwald learns about the finer things in life, about control, and the power and responsibilities of a "dominant." But what is a dominant without a sub? Cathy, a beautiful schoolmate Gerwald cannot stop thinking about, has desires that she couldn't understand. She wants to follow orders, she wants to please. She wants Gerwald to help her find meaning to it all. With the support of friends and the wisdom of a secret order called The Old Guard, Gerwald and Cathy discover that life, love and intimacy are more than what society dictates... *A dom/sub story for mature audiences Sample: He did notice from time to time the girl that John had called to his attention and when he could he observed her closely. As near as he could tell she had a few girl friends and stayed in that little group she belonged to... As he watched her, Gerwald noticed a flush creep from her neck to her face. When she got through the line she had a few words with one of her friends and ran to the restroom. Her friend picked both of their trays and found a seat. After she did not come out for a few minutes it dawned on Gerwald that perhaps she was hiding... Then he kissed her gently, "If anything happens between us it will be by mutual agreement, I won't take advantage of your nature unless you give me permission. Your secret is safe with me..." "I'm sorry, I'm just so anxious and scared about this." Then she took a deep breath and turned to face Joanna, "I think I'm falling in love with Gerry."
