Becoming His Master (Neighborly Affection Series-Book 4) by M.Q. Barber
Experienced dominant Henry Webb has a new task of teaching a wounded submissive what his value is and this should be easy. Jay Kress is new to the world of servicing his master but he is challenging his very experienced teacher. Jay is still fragile after his horrible experience outside of the safe submissive play so Henry has his hands full. Henry won't take advantage of Jay's trust or claim him as his own that is what he is thinking at least.
Jay wants nothing more than to be a submissive that he allowed himself to be hurt outside of the safe consensual play. Henry is an experienced Master Dom and wants to train Jay to find the perfect master opposed to the bad experience he already had. Henry is the perfect Dom, kind and thoughtful and very respectful of his submissive's limits and desires. These two men spend a lot of time together and the hero-worshiping comes into play and is not always a good thing. Henry discovers this when he starts to fall in love with Jay. Henry has never kept a submissive for himself but as he gets closer to the more and more, confident Jay he realizes that he's everything he's ever wanted. Henry knows that this is a fragile relationship and he wants to make sure that Jay doesn't feel obligated. Everyone who sees them together can instantly tell how much Jay is in love with Henry.
I quite enjoyed the story and I haven't read too many BDSM novels but this one really reached out to me. I love the connection these guys had for each other and how fragile their connection was. Jay was so damaged by an earlier experience and Henry never falls for his submissive so when they both let down their guard is when the love was released. I love how Henry and Jay help each other in such different ways was so special to read. This is a great BDSM novel for someone just getting into the world of master/slave. You won't be disappointed in Becoming His Master by M.Q. Barber!!!

Becoming His Master (R) Excerpt © M.Q. Barber 2015
Henrys watch showed quarter to eight as he mounted the stairs toting carryout meals for himself and his submissive. The hour found the second floor a modest hive of activity as players donned their preferred personas and headed upstairs to the sandbox. Eventually, he too would join the procession, with Jay in tow. For now, he turned right and stepped through the wide double doors into the salon.
The area set aside for himself and young Mr. Kress showed Emmas unmistakable influence. Tucked into the farthest corner of the room, a three panel screen of wood and fabric created a private dining nook. Best pray the younger man didnt recognize the scenes depicted, though the intent shouted for all and sundry to pay heed.
A pair of yellow ribboned women cast admiring glances his way. Muting his growl, he stepped past them with a curt headshake. Wont interfere, my ass.
A paean to Greek mythology and literature graced each panel. Achilles and Patroclus circled each other with shields and spears, their sandaled feet the only flesh not on view. Apollo strummed his lyre while a boy Hyacinth, given the field of flowers lay at his feet. Beautiful Ganymede proffered a cup beneath the sheltering wings of Zeus as eagle.
Stalking across the room, he considered the ready excuses sure to be on Emma s lips. A shield to keep the boy from prying eyes, lest his table manners prove less than impeccable. Hadn t he himself insisted on protecting Jay from possible criticism No, of course the scenes hadnt been deliberate. Convenience had dictated the choice. In no way had she meant to imply Jay Kress was his eromenos.
His beloved boy. His to mentor and protect. His sweet lips to kiss, his beautiful thighs to fuck.
Cock pressing at his fly, he swore in silence. Was there no mercy to be found
He rounded the screen.
Jay sprang to his feet.
No. No mercy at all.
Despite Emmas claim, his student wore a suit as well as he wore leather shorts. Temptation beat at him, an unrelenting pressure, the image of his submissive on his knees with the same earnest delight on his face.
He forced himself to turn and deposit the bag on the table. Slow and easy.
Youve set a lovely table. He told himself navy wasnt Jays color, despite the good sense hed shown to pair his suit with a solid white shirt and a pale blue tie with a diagonal thin-stripe in white. I trust your wait has been a pleasant one
Yes, Master Henry. Jay stood straight and tall, a slender vision of grace. Mistress Emma showed me what to do.
Its just Emma, my boy. No title. Shes a submissive here, as you are. He unpacked the tote. Salads first, the light containers atop the others.
But shes in charge of things. Jay tilted his head. He started to roll his shoulders before stopping himself.
Warm foil container deposited on the table, Henry paused in his work to study his submissive with more care. Yes, she handles some functions at the club. The neat half Windsor had to be Emmas doing. She also submits to her husband. Likewise, the white rose boutonniere pinned with Jays red ribbon, the symbol of his ownership. The younger mans purity and innocence bound under his protection and control.
Pinned. Of course.
Tell me, how many pins did it take until Emma was satisfied with the drape of your jacket
Im not sure, Master Henry. Jay half smiled, his eyes shining. She made me stand still for a long time, though. Do you like it
With such an enticing invitation, he smoothed the fabric from the lapel to the right shoulder.
Jay caught his breath and rocked his hips.
Quite handsome, he murmured. Such promising responses his pupil gave, eager physicality impossible to miss. But you cannot relax, can you Afraid youll disrupt her handiwork if you so much as breathe too deeply.
I dont mind, Master Henry. If you like it, he didnt say, though the worship in his gaze made the words unnecessary.
Humming, he traced the edge of the lapel downward and unfastened the button holding the jacket closed. I mind. Hanging the jacket on the chair back wouldnt do any harm. Your comfort is my responsibility during our time together.
He pushed the coat from the boys shoulders. Hed remove his own to ensure his dinner partner felt no awkwardness.
No, no, please. Jay clutched at the fabric, fighting the motion, his voice rising. Master Henry, please.
What the devil was he
Please dont take my ribbon, Im your good boy, Im yours
Henry kissed him.
He knew the instant their lips touched he ought not have done it.
Soft and pliant, the younger man opened his mouth with a throaty little whimper.
Irresistible. A possessive haze descended, snarling heat pushing out from his center. He ground his cock against his submissive and claimed his mouth.
