About Fugue Who is the master and who is the slave? Fugue takes the brave reader into the dungeon playroom of a master and his boy. It's the kind of place where darkness skitters into corners, hiding in shadows where the walls disappear. A boy is chained to the pipes along the ceiling. Hooded, he can only experience the sensations his master delivers with his whips, fingers, tongue ... But in the boy's mind, a dream state takes him places even the master can’t imagine, places where the established pecking order is flipped upside down. As he's being whipped, tantalized, and tortured, the boy takes a mental journey on a late-night train where his adventures are even more raw and erotic than what goes on in this very dungeon. Come along for the Fugue and answer for yourself the question: who is the master and who is the slave?
Second Edition: Originally published with Amber Quill Press, 2008.

REVIEW:
As I read I found myself thinking “What am I reading”? When I finished, yep, “What did I just read”? But the fact that I’m still pondering this book days later tells me that Reed has accomplished what he set out to do – make his readers think. One of the joyful reasons why I read.
Just as a book can take a reader to another place sex has the ability to transport our minds as well. Rick R. Reed’s Fugue is a journey in both.
While alternating between a slaves musings of the scene he is currently in to that of an elicit rendezvous, allowing the reader to be a voyeur if you will, Rick R. Reed takes you on a tantalizing voyage in a scant 40 pages.
Reed’s descriptions ensnare the full on rapture of desire. Like a pinball bouncing around the bumpers, your thoughts ricochet from one erotic scene to the next, almost as breathless as the participants.
In its telling Fugue is a wondrous story of pleasure. It’s a rare peek into the innermost thoughts of a sub. What excites them and motivates their obedience, brings them to their knees, and gives them the release they so desire….emotionally and physically.
