Busting The Greenhorn

By C.C. Williams

Tech blogger, Jake Landon, is on a mini-vacation. Having escaped San Francisco for the quiet Russian River, Jake seeks nothing more than a relaxed three-day-weekend getaway. Stetson-wearing horseman, Chet Hairston, is an old hand at stallion breaking, He’s used to having things his way . . . or else.

Crossing paths one night in a restaurant, the two men begin a game of cat and mouse. Each unfamiliar with their opponent, neither man is sure of the ultimate goal . . . just his own raging desire. Can the strong, masculine rancher rope in Jake's passion? Could a willing and adventurous city boy be the one to fill that void in Chet's bed?

Busting The Greenhorn rides hard and puts you away wet!

Busting The Greenhorn

I – Roping Him In

Yeah? Well, fuck you, too! Jake slammed the phone on the desk. God-damned, right-wing homophobe!

These days who cares if their freelance writer is gay or not? Between the Proposition 8 debacle and the defeat of legalized marijuana, he could hardly believe he lived in California anymore. He sighed. Whatever happened to the land of fruits and nuts?

After he returned the handset to its charger, Jake Landon walked around the antique oak desk, out the office and down the hall into his bright, cheery kitchen. The room lightened his mood a little. There are advantages to working from home, he thought as he cracked a Corona and glanced out the window at Knob Hill.

Cyrus padded in and sat at Jake’s feet, looking expectant. The writer bent down and scratched the Lab’s head. You don’t care who Daddy fucks, do you? No, you don’t, do you? Actually, Jake couldn’t remember who he’d fucked last time or when it had been.

Taking another beer from the icebox, Jake continued to talk to his pet. What Daddy needs is a vacation! Doesn’t that sound great, Cyrus? He returned to his office and booted the laptop, opening a browser. Now where should he go?

The last pier of the Golden Gate Bridge disappeared behind him into the fog and Jake began to relax. This weekend, his long overdue vacation had arrived and he was heading up to the Russian River. For the next three days, he intended to pamper himself, sleeping late, eating rich food, and letting his business worries take care of themselves.

Three clients had pulled out, all claiming they were reducing their advertising expenses. But he knew better—the tech world had become as gossipy as a beauty salon. Everybody was shifting rightward. Tech used to be the fringe, now it tilted toward the conservative side. Sheesh!

Heading north from the Bay on the 101, Jake decided there was no need to rush at all; he exited the busier route and took California 1 toward Mill Valley. The drive along the coast would reinforce the vacation experience. The sun rose further, burning away the fog. Crossing into Sonoma County, he headed to Valley Ford and then took the Bohemian
