Teaser Tuesday

In this second Teaser from Taking the Gardener, we learn a little more about Eric, the principle character and the ‘Top’ in this tale. After arriving in the village Eric recalls his first sexual experience and the early confirmation of his role as a ‘Master’ in the BDSM world.

Eric’s first proper sexual experience had come at the relatively late age of nineteen. It wasn’t that opportunities had never presented themselves before – they had, and in abundance. They had just never been the kinds of opportunities he was interested in.  He had bided his time, eventually working up the courage to take his first steps into the world that would eventually seem like home to him.The particular leather club he went to on the night of his nineteenth birthday had been rather infamous for being hostile to newcomers. Eric took its reputation as a challenge. He chose a ‘Beginner’s Night’ for his grand entrance (which was the only reason he got in the door, since he didn’t own any of the leather or fetish gear that would have been a requirement for entry on any other night). What he experienced that night cemented everything he had thought about himself since he first awakened to his own sexuality.The first thing he noticed was the sheer number of people in the club’s small space. The place was a heaving, throbbing mass of humanity. There were men in countless states of dress or undress: men in head-to-toe leather and men wearing nothing at all.
