Stone Peterson was as cold and hard as his name implied. Tossed from one foster home to the other is what gave Stone his cruel edge. He trusted no one. Men were for his pleasure only. Owning a leather bar, he had the choice of many. A guy would kill to have one night with Stone. But his method of f--king was rough and crude. He didn't care who he hurt. That is, until he met Ian.

Ian Holtz was a shy, retiring young man who felt shunned by his family. Always trying to please others, he would do anything to win Stone Peterson's approval. Despite Stone's cruel treatment, Ian loved him. He's thrilled when Stone makes Ian his boy slave and wears the studded leather collar with pride.

Stone's bar, Big Bear, is in serious financial trouble. Someone is dipping into the till and cooking the books. He employs his one and only friend, Gauge Matthews, to do some digging into the theft. Ian warns Stone that Gauge is not to be trusted, and Stone pushes him away in a rage. After all, he'd been friends with Gauge since he was 19. It was Gauge who introduced him into the exciting world of sex. Gauge is the only friend; the only person Stone ever trusted.

Using his powers as a witch, Ian summons a spell to bring to light the truth about Gauge, putting Stone into a rage. Through it all, Ian stands by Stone no matter how much he tries to push him out of his life. In the end, Stone realizes what he has in Ian and accepts him as his equal.
