Charlie needs a firm hand. He needs help. But what he needs most is someone to keep an eye on him while his Master, Ben, is out of town. Ben’s old roommate, John, might just be the perfect man for the job. John is dealing with a death in the family, trying to get his doctorate out of the way, and he has no place to stay. So watching over Ben’s pet, Charlie, seems to be the perfect solution. Charlie blossoms under his care, showing a whole new level of submission, and John is proud that his touch can bring Charlie some peace. Will Ben approve of the new arrangement when he returns?

Dr. Fell, the master from the popular Sip, Pet Sitting, is teaching English at a local college, and working on fixing up his cabin, but Ben, and Ben's sub twink want him to get back into the swing of regular life, worried that he's withdrawn after the death of his lover Rob. One night stands aren't helping, the beaten and hurt young man he finds hiding in the alley might just be what he needs. Jamie thinks he's getting what he deserves, but Dr. Fell and Ben work at getting the young man away from his cruel master, but will Dr. Fell be able to let go of his memories long enough to help Jamie really be free?

Dr. Fell has settled into his cabin and survived his first winter. He even feels ready to start looking for a boy of his own. He’s enjoying a few days of quiet before Colby, known to be a spoiled brat and pain slut, arrives for training. His peace is ruined by an emergency pet sitting and Charlie’s arrival. Can Dr. Fell’s renewed hopefulness get him through wrangling a spoiled brat, a sweet shy boy, and twink? A Short Leash originally appeared in Toy Rings.

Summer has arrived, and Dr. Fell is hosting a summer camp for Doms and their subs. He plans a festival sort of atmosphere, with commitment ceremonies and games, hoping for some fun, and some training. Of course, nothing is ever that simple, and when the other Doms put together a foundation for rescuing subs from bad situations, Dr. Fell ends up being nominated as the director. The first sub that turns up in need of rescue happens to be the stripper the boys hired for Dr. Fell's birthday, and there's another young man who's having trouble communicating his problems, and Dr. Fell knows he has to help. Can he deal with the camp, the rescues, and his own problems with finding someone special, all at the same time?

Nipple clamps may not be standard equipment for all couples, but in this smokin' hot Toy Box, they take center stage. In Dildos, Floggers and Nipple Clamps, Oh My by Vic Winter, Jamie and Derek are two young lovers in a sex shop for the first time. When they knock over a display and stuff anything in their cart just to get out of there, they find nipple clamps very useful. In Disciplinary Measures by Mychael Black Dennis is a office drone by day, and a kinkster by night. When his boss calls him out for being late after a really good night at home with his toys, Dennis thinks he might just have found the top he's looking for. And in A Secret Vice by Syd McGinley, Dr. Fell is back. It's August and he just has the one boy staying with him—Tommy. When Dr. Fell reminds himself how good nipple play can be, Tommy catches him at it. Will Dr. Fell be able to turn his pleasure into a lesson? Hotter than hot!

Doctor Fell has taken in several submissives for the Halloween holiday, all of them needing training of some sort. The one most in need of help seems to be Dexter, whose lackluster performance and shy ways are a cause for concern. Between that and twink and Laurie, the two other subs who are bound to cause trouble, Doctor Fell knows he has his hands full. Can he find out what's causing Dexter's distress in time for them all to enjoy Samhain?

Dr. Fell's quiet Christmas with his latest sub Tommy becomes a crowded house when Laurie, twink and Dexter show up to share the holiday. Dr. Fell isn't much on Christmas in the first place, but the subs are enthusiastic, and between the decorating, cooking, and discipline, he decides Christmas might not be such a bad day after all.

Dr. Fell would rather do just about anything than go to the mall, but somehow that's exactly where he ends up, doing Ben's shopping. He doesn't expect to run into anyone he knows, but when a certain Santa's Elf reminds him of their past acquaintance, Dr. Fell finds his carefully ordered world rocked on its axis. Interested as he is, family problems make it difficult for Dr. Fell to explore his attraction. Things come to a head when Dr. Fell realizes the solution to both his family issues and his new relationship lie in his past - and in the one person he's been avoiding for years. Is redemption just a plane ride away? Will Dr. Fell muster the courage to face his demons? Will the time away allow Dr. Fell to claim his Forever Boy before it's too late?

Dr. Fell has a wedding to go to, and he's not thrilled with wearing a flower, or with letting twink take his picture. Luckily, he has Dave to go home to, and that makes everything better. At least it should, but he and Dave still have a lot to talk about, and the wedding seems to have commitment on everyone's mind. Can he and Dave agree on how to proceed with their relationship?
