Roped and Ridden

By Angelique Voisen

Submissive Barrett Graham does everything by the book. Work hard by day. Play hard at night, collared, and on his knees. After catching his Dom cheating, Barrett quits his office job in the city and moves into cowboy central.

His new boss, ranch owner Leo McLeod, is a sin to look at, but he hits all of Barrett’s wrong buttons. Hot one moment, cold the next, Leo’s as confusing as hell. Leo tells Barrett he won’t last long, but Barrett intends to show Leo even a born and bred city boy can learn new tricks.

Prologue

"Didn’t you know? Toby’s been fucking three or four other subs whenever you’re out working during the day, or when you’re out of town. Wake up, Barrett." Rory’s words from the night before reverberated through Barrett’s head. They turned into a mantra as the hours ticked off, making it impossible to do any real work at the office. He numbly glanced at his desktop. The numbers on the report looked incomprehensible. Then he took a long look around the gray-and-black corporate profiles of the office interior with colleagues in designer suits weaving around cubicles. He snorted in disgust.

What the fuck am I doing here?

Everything looked so fucking dull and normal it made Barrett hurl. Suffocating. He loosened his tie, the tie Master Toby gave him last Christmas, but it didn’t help. He tore the dark purple fabric off in one jerk and tossed it into the garbage bin by his desk.

Barrett, Chris wants that report on his desk before lunch, Larry, one of Barrett’s colleagues, said, passing by his cubicle.

The report Barrett hadn’t even started yet. How could he, after Rory unloaded that bullshit on him? No way he was going to be able to focus on work, let alone function properly like a normal human being at this rate.

Hey, Larry. Tell Chris I need to take care of an emergency.

What emergency? Hey, Barrett, where are you going? Larry called after him, but Barrett had already grabbed his bag and was on his way to the elevator.

He hardly remembered getting into his car, breaking the speed limits, then getting a ticket for the first time. Barrett had always been a careful driver. It was one of the things Toby liked about him. Barrett drove the way he tackled life—analyzing a problem from
