“Are you going to tell me you just get off on giving orders and you were joking about fucking me?”
I took his face in my hands and kissed him as I worked my hips against his.” When I finally pulled back, he was wide-eyed and panting. “No. You’re getting fucked, and yes, I do get off on giving orders.”
“Fuck. I don’t know what I’ve gotten into.”
“Isn’t that part of the fun?”
The lock clicked, and I opened the door. “Inside. Now.”
“You’re not going to murder me, are you?”
“Isn’t it a little late to be considering that?”
He shivered. “Possibly.”
“You’ll survive the night.”
“That isn’t reassuring.”
“It’s not meant to be.”
The uncertainty on his face only made me want him more. “I like you like this, scared and trembling. I like knowing I can make you this way, even though you’re strong enough to jump on the back of an angry bull.”
“The bulls aren’t as calculating as you.”
I laughed. “That’s very true.”
Rogue moved sideways, keeping his back to the wall and his eyes on me. When he reached the door, I grabbed him and pushed him inside. “You won’t get away.”
“Fuck. You’re….”
“What? Tell me.”
“Hot.”
I smiled and flipped our positions so my back was to the wall instead of his. “Kneel.”
He hesitated but eventually obeyed, sinking to his knees in front of me.
I wasn’t going to need anything to hold him there except our mutual desire.
I cupped his cheek. “You’re beautiful.”
“Yeah.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at that. “And not shy.”
“You can’t be in my profession.”
“Or if you are, then you have to pretend to be someone else entirely. If you’re determined enough, you can always hide.”
He nodded.
“But you can’t hide here, not tonight. I’m going to expose you completely.”

ROGUE
I looked up at Ghost. His words seemed to hang in the air between us.
I’d never been willing to let anyone expose me like that, but I’d often fantasized about being completely at a man’s mercy, about being able to let go, to do whatever he asked, to accept every pleasure he would give me. I craved that. I had for years, but I’d never had the courage to search for it. It was like Ghost could read all my fantasies right from my head. How did he know?
He was right about me putting on a facade. I’d been hiding most of my life, hiding from my father, hiding how scared I was from the crowd that cheered me on at the rodeo, hiding my real self from the other bull riders and from all the people that pursued me on the days when things went my way. Rhys knew the real me, and Grant did too, mostly, but even with them, especially with Grant, I tried to keep some parts of myself secret.
I’d taken on the role of the one who didn’t care because it was so much easier than trying and not measuring up. I’d become the one that could be counted on to fuck up and make the stupidest choices no matter how clear the right choice was. I was the one who was expendable. Grant and Rhys were the true heroes, and I was the joke of a brother who gambled with his life on the back of a bull.
I tried not to let them know that it hurt because I knew I could be something else. Rhys knew too. I was sure he did. That was probably why he tried so hard to make me consider the consequences every time I made a stupid decision. Ultimately, he let me make my choices once we’d graduated from high school, but tonight, I wasn’t making a choice to impress anyone. I wasn’t making a choice to try to repay anyone. I was making a choice for me.
“Expose me, then,” I said.
Ghost smiled down at me as he unzipped his pants. “Are you ready to do exactly what I say?”
I licked my lips, then nodded.
“Put your hands behind your back.”
I did as he said.
He pulled his cock out and stroked it. His hand moved slowly up and down, mesmerizing me. I wanted to lean forward and lick the drop of precum that was beaded at the tip.
“You look hungry.”
I smiled up at him. “I am.”
He pressed his thumb against my chin, pushing downward. “Open your mouth. I’m going to let you eat me up.”
I opened wide as I stared at his fat cock, hoping I’d be able to take it all. It had been a while since I’d sucked a guy off, and I wasn’t sure I was up for what Ghost had to offer. I was sure as hell going to try, though. It wasn’t like he was giving me a choice. He was going to take what he wanted no matter how hard it was for me. That should scare me, but it relaxed me instead and made me feel more confident.
