Sydney Greenbriar finds more than she bargained for
when she gets lost on her way to report for a new job and finds herself at a BDSM
club. Peering in through the window, her attention, and libido are both snagged
by one man delivering some old-fashioned discipline to a young blonde. After he
runs her off, both are surprised to discover she is the new cook he’d hired for
his ranch.
Caden MacGregor wanted to turn away the cheeky woman
he’d caught spying on his club without remorse, but desperation for a cook forced
his hand. Sydney proved to be a definite asset to his employees, and a royal pain
in his butt. Somehow, her penchant for getting lost and landing in trouble,
along with her determination to return to the club as a guest, soon slid past
his resistance.
It took a threat to Sydney and unearthing the truth
about what made her flee her home in Missouri to force them to admit their
feelings and get her to stay as more than his cook.
Publisher’s Note: This contemporary western romance is
intended for adults only and contains themes of mystery, suspense, power
exchange, ménage and adult themes. If any of these offend you, please do not

SCENE
“Uh, oh.” Sydney
took her eyes off the enormous cow who didn’t look happy with her and cast a
quick glance toward the sound of approaching riders. She winced when she
recognized the Dunbar brothers coming to her rescue. Caden was not going to be
happy with her. Again.
Was it her fault
she’d been daydreaming about her boss and ended up completely turned around? No,
her mistake was in thinking she could just retrace her steps and find herself
close to the house. Oops. The ‘bigger than life’ cow had charged out of
nowhere, snorting his displeasure and shaking his massive head at her as if to
say, how dare you trod on my turf! He couldn’t even be bribed into a friendlier
attitude with a sugar cube she’d been saving for Daisy, the little mare she’d
grown fond of.
Thank goodness her
cowboys knew what they were doing. Caden came trotting up behind her while
Connor rode between her and the cranky cow, his horse herding the heifer away
from them as Caden leaned over and scooped her up with one hard arm around her
waist. Her relief at their timely rescue changed to startled, breath-stopping
unease when she found herself lying face-down in front of him and the grassy
ground shifting in dizzying circles below her.
Before she could
get her bearings, he swatted her wiggling backside hard enough to feel the
discomfort and burn through her jeans. “What… oh!” The next smack cut off her complaint, the dull ache and warmth
spreading to her quivering pussy rendering her mute with astonishment.
“I’m spanking some
sense into you,” Caden growled, delivering one more slap before shifting her upright
and leaving her sitting sideways as he nudged his horse back into a trot.
Sydney was too
stunned from her body’s response to what should have been a humiliating
set-down to wonder much what Connor meant when he pulled alongside them and,
after one look at her face, called over with humor lacing his voice, “I think
you lost that gamble, brother.”
The rumble of
Caden’s low-voiced swearing vibrated against her shivering frame, and she
enjoyed his frustration as much as she was shocked by the low-level arousal
those few swats generated. She couldn’t even find it in her to be embarrassed from
Connor witnessing his brother’s actions. With a wave, Connor took off ahead of
them and Sydney braved a look up at her boss’ handsome, rugged face,
exasperation swirling in his cobalt eyes.
“I can explain,”
she offered.
“Really. How?” he mocked.
“I intended to
stay within sight of the barns, but… got distracted and then turned around.” She
wasn’t about to tell him she’d been fantasizing about being spanked and then
fucked by him. He may fire her over such an infraction. As much as she missed
her family, she was stuck here until she came up with a plan to return home and
keep Uncle Mike and his desperate actions from hurting her grandmother and
uncles.
“And, why didn’t
you call this time?”
She looked away
from those probing eyes that saw too much. Her lack of funds didn’t allow for
her to add minutes to the pre-paid cell phone she’d been using since fleeing
Missouri. She couldn’t reveal that without raising his suspicions about her
even more than her refusal to tell him why she didn’t have insurance to charge
for the medical bill the other day.
“I don’t carry it
with me around the ranch.” She shrugged. “I didn’t think I needed to.”
“And now you know
otherwise. You’re disrupting my work with your irresponsibility,” he chastised
her as they neared the barns.
“If you would
teach me to ride, like you promised, I would have something to do in the
afternoons,” she argued in defense despite finding it difficult to concentrate
on what he was saying while being held snug against him, his cock pressed
against her thigh, her butt still tingling from those swats. Even the girls
were on board, her nipples puckering into tight nubs.
“Maybe I’d have
time if I wasn’t constantly riding to your rescue.” Caden dismounted at the
barn and lifted her down. With his hat pulled low over his forehead, she could
barely see his eyes, but his tight jaw told her she shouldn’t risk pushing him
further today.
“I should see to
dinner. Thanks for the ride, boss.” Her buttocks clenched when she felt his
eyes on her as she strode across the lawn to the house, making her wonder what
her response would be if he were to slap her bare butt. Just the thought drew a
shiver down her spine and a heated throb between her legs. She bemoaned the
desperate state stress and loneliness forced on her and despaired ever getting
out of.
