Dr. Alex Greene and his best friend, Dr. Darren Webb, have known one another for several years. They've danced around an unspoken attraction for most of that time, but since they're both Masters in the BDSM lifestyle, they've never attempted anything more than friendship. That's all about to change when Darren suggests they both sign up at the Black Velvet Society website.
Alex is, at heart, a submissive, but he swore off all chances of submitting after a bad experience years ago. He harbors an intense crush on his best friend, Darren, but acting on it would mean submitting. When a Master named LaCroix at a BDSM website suggests a week-long, online-only session, Alex takes the plunge.
But LaCroix has a secret all his own, and when Alex discovers it, everything changes.
