California Dreaming (A Marketplace Short Story)

The bonus story from "The Trainer" is now available as a stand-alone single ebook. Michael LaGuardia attends one of Geoff Negel's orgiastic play parties for newly minted owners and slaves in The Marketplace. But there is trouble in Negel's California paradise. Michael wonders, why can't everything be free and easy? Isn't bondage supposed to be fun? In this prequel to "The Trainer," Michael gets his first inkling that ownership and slavehood don't confer instant perfection, and fantasy isn't reality.
