There are books that excite, books that provoke, and then there are books that cut deep and leave a mark. Kept Down, the fourth installment in The Pisbak Files series by stein subman, does all three — and more.
Master Simon and his slave, pisbak, have been together for over a year now. On the surface, they’re thriving — a dynamic, unapologetically kinky couple building a life on love, obedience, and shared understanding. But beneath that surface, life, as it always does, reveals its darker edges.
Old ghosts return. Emotions swell. Tragedy strikes. Pisbak’s ex spirals into chaos, slave brother Huub loses a former partner, and an old friend dies — each event shaking the bonds between men who are otherwise deeply grounded in ritual and desire. Amid this emotional turbulence, pisbak finds himself unexpectedly drawn to another Master, and a forgotten bet from the early days of his submission resurfaces, demanding a reckoning.
And then there’s the experiment — Master Simon’s bold attempt to deepen his slave’s surrender. But in doing so, He finds Himself tested in ways He didn’t expect.
Make no mistake: Kept Down is not light reading. This is a story for readers who want to go deeper — into intense emotional spaces, into the psychology of power exchange, and into rough, honest, and daring S&M sex. Yet what truly elevates this book is not just the eroticism — it’s the conversation, the exploration of identity, vulnerability, and trust among men who live within the leather and kink scene.
If you’ve read the previous parts of The Pisbak Files, this one will hit harder. If you’re new to the series, prepare to be pulled into a world that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t sweeten the truth, and doesn’t play it safe.
Kept Down: The Pisbak Files Part 4 is available now on Kindle.
