Adam's dominant, Damien, has applied for the two of them to become members in the highly exclusive Langston Society, a men's BDSM network of the city's most powerful and influential. Though Damien Roberts surely falls within that category, he agrees that they must go through the Langston's rigorous screening process. Rather than questionnaires or resumes, the Langston uses only one metric to assess potential partners: the worthiness of the submissive. So it is that Adam finds himself standing alone before a gathering of the city's most powerful and sexually dominant men with only one task: obey.
