A story of relationships and learning to live and love as life and circumstances change. This story has been described as a BDSM romance novel. I wrote this story beginning in 1998 and finishing in 2002. I have made slight edits and corrections for SOL.
ATTENTION: Chapter 22 ends with a scene that is not coded. Straight males may want to skim the last 10% or so of this chapter. Sorry, but it was a necessary part of the story.
