The man before him only lasted six seconds, and then it was his turn. He climbed over the fence and on to the back of the bronc he was going to ride. He was a buckskin, light tan coat with black mane and tail, he was beautiful. Todd grabbed on to the rope and steadied himself. Then he gave the signal and the gate opened. The horse started to buck right away, trying to throw him to the ground, but Todd wasn’t going anywhere. He squeezed with his thighs and held on a little tighter with his hands. He heard the bell go off when his eight seconds were up, but he continued to control the bronc. When he felt it was the safest time for him to jump off, he released his grip and threw his leg over the one side. He slid off of the horse easily and landed on his feet. The crowd was cheering like crazy, and they got even louder when he shot his hand up and gave them a wave.
With a big grin on his face, Todd jumped the fence of the arena and headed back towards his trailer. His stable hand met him half way talking a mile a minute. Tyler was new; his last stable hand met a woman and had to move out west so he hired Tyler. He was young, but he was willing to learn and had all kinds of energy. “Man that was awesome! The way you rode that bronc was like nothing I have ever seen. You were so in control the whole time, I wish I knew how to do that; so cool.”
“It’s what I was born to do.” It’s true that Todd was excellent with the cowboy stuff, the control he had was something other men only wished they could accomplish. The rodeo wasn’t the only thing Todd had to have control over. He controlled almost everything in his life, and the only things he didn’t were the things he couldn’t. He owned a ranch where he broke horses and he was damn good at it, he had a team of men who worked for him and they knew he was their boss, and his favourite thing to control was his women.
The man who sponsored the rodeo came to Todd’s trailer to present him with his buckle. He was a short, chubby man and he was filthy rich but Todd liked him. They had gotten to know each other throughout Todd’s rodeo career. “The bronc you rode is for sale. I don’t know if you’re interested but he’s a beautiful horse and you rode him better than any other man. I could give you a great deal.”
By the end of the conversation, Todd had a new shiny belt buckle, and a horse. Those weren’t the only things he was going to be taking home by the looks of it. There was a tall blonde with never ending legs hovering on the edge of his campsite. He smiled and lifted his hand towards her. With one finger, he beckoned her closer. She obeyed and walked right over to him until her breasts were almost touching his chest. He inhaled deeply, pulling her sent in to his nose. She smelt like shampoo and perfume and the smell was a refreshing change from the smell of manure and horses that had wracked his nostrils for the most part of the weekend.
He had planned to head home, the rodeo was only about an hour from his home; but he supposed he could stay an extra hour or two. He had been sleeping in his camper trailer the whole weekend, which he had pulled with his Dodge. He looked around to see if Tyler was still hanging around. He wasn’t. That boy had learned quickly that if there was a woman around, he was to get lost. He was doing his job well.
Todd didn’t say anything to the blonde, he wasn’t interested in talking. He didn’t even need to know her name. He grabbed her by the hand and led her to his trailer. He opened the way in and motioned for her to go ahead. He closed them in together and advanced towards the blonde. She had taken off her shoes and sat on the bed. He followed suit and removed his boots before pushing on her shoulders and laying her down. He used one hand to hold her wrists, which he pinned above her head and he used the other to slowly unbutton first her shirt and then her jeans.
When her bra was exposed, he pulled the cups down to reveal her breasts. She had averaged sized breasts, with high, tight, pink nipples. He drew one in to his mouth and started to suck and flick and nibble on it. The blonde moaned and he moved to the other. He released her hands just long enough to remove her pants and his clothes and then he put them back where they were, holding her down. Todd was always in control when he had sex. He decided the position, he decided the rhythm and speed, and he decided when it was over and how long it lasted. He needed the control to enjoy the release.
Todd moved his free hand to in between her legs and discovered that she was hot and ready for him. He took her mouth with his and lifted himself over her. He got positioned in the right spot, rolled a condom over his length and pushed his way in to her core. She moaned against hip lips as he filled her up.
He didn’t have a whole lot of time before he had to leave so he picked up the tempo, slamming himself in to the girl. If it wasn’t for his mouth being on hers and his tongue intertwining with hers, she would be making a whole lot of noise. She was tight and warm wrapped around him and he could feel the friction starting to build at the base of his erection. He let go of her hands and switched the position so that he was on his knees and her legs were spread wide in front of him. He used both of his hands to hold her hips and slap them against his own. The blonde started to orgasm, a soft pulling on him inside of her that set off his own climax. He kept pumping in to her until they were both breathing hard, covered in sweat and satisfied. He pulled out of her and discarded the condom.
Twenty minutes later, Todd was on the road home; pulling his camper behind him and being followed by Tyler who was pulling his horse trailer with Todd’s new stallion in it.

For the next week, Todd tried to break the buckskin but after each try he was no closer than he had been the first day he brought him home. He was working with him one day when his brother stopped in to see him.
“Hey man, how ya doing?” His brother, Rich, called to him as he got out of his SUV.
“Alright.” He called back, “just can’t seem to make any progress with this horse. Nothing I do works at all.”
Rich didn’t say what he normally would, he didn’t agree with Todd’s way of training horses. He thought he was too rough, too hard on them. He didn’t say that though, because he had already said it a hundred or more times. Todd did listen then so why would he listen now. Instead he said, “Aw that sucks. I’m sure you’ll get it.”
The men didn’t say anything for a while; they just watched the horse circle the pen. Then rich said, “Hey, want to take a break and go and grab a drink? Burgers are on me.”
Todd agreed and he opened the gate out of the ring. He went inside and showered quickly and they headed to town. There were only a few different places to go, and they only ever went to the same one. It was called ‘Sal’s’. It was a sports bar restaurant with the best burgers in town.
Sal, the owner, saw them come in and yelled, “Hey boys! Burgers and beer?”
“Hell yeah!” Todd yelled back to him.
The men picked a booth and sat down. The waitress came over with their beers shortly after and then with their burgers. The place was pretty full tonight, lots of people in playing pool and darts and getting a bite to eat. It was getting pretty late and the drinking crowd started to fill up the seats at the bar.
When their dinner was done, the two brothers asked a couple of other guys if they wanted to play a round of pool. One game turned in to four and before he knew it Todd was having a great time; only one thing that could make this night better. The door to the bar opened and that very thing walked in.
She was short, brunette and beautiful. He could see her bright green eyes from the other side of the bar and she had just the right amount of curves. He watched her cross the floor and meet up with a couple of other girls. They all hugged each other and damn wasn’t that beautiful. His focus returned to the new game of pool they had just started, but he watched the girl whenever he could.
One of the times he snuck a peek, she was looking back. He wasn’t embarrassed to be caught looking, he just lifted his hat off of his head and tilted it her way. Her eyes started to sparkle and he knew they were on the same page.
The night started to die down, groups of people heading for home. The pair of guys Todd and Rich had been pla
ying left, and Rich said he was ready to go. Todd looked back at the woman once again and she met his eyes.
“You go ahead without me, I’ll get home.” He looked at his brother and he was smirking at him.
“Okay, whatever you say.” He was laughing as he walked away.
The brunette left her group of friends as soon as Todd was alone and she joined him at the bar. “My apartment is just down the street.” She said to him under her breath.
“That is the best news I’ve heard all day.” He smiled at her. He stood up and grabbed her hand, “Lead the way beautiful.”
She giggled and walked out the door. They took a left and then another and walked a few blocks. They came to the little book store and she unlocked a side door. Her apartment must be above it. The door opened to a stairway and they ascended. He was correct; there was a small apartment at the top of the stairs with a small kitchen that they walked in to first.
She led him down the hall and in to the bedroom. “I’m just going to get cleaned up.” She said and went through a door which must have been a bathroom.
Todd just didn’t feel like waiting so he got up from the bed which he had sat on and joined her in the bathroom. She seemed a little surprised to see him at first, and then she saw that he had stripped off all of his clothes and was fully erect.
Instantly her eyes softened and a naughty smile spread across her face. Todd walked over to her and lifted her t-shirt over her head. He then unbuttoned her shorts and pushed them down her legs. She wasn’t wearing any underwear; well wasn’t that a turn on. Todd covered her mouth with his and licked his way inside. While their tongues danced, he slowly moved them forward so that her ass hit the sink. It was the perfect height.
He broke the kiss and bent down to lift her at the knees. He placed her so that she was leaning up against the mirror and her legs were spread wide open. He then got on his knees and tasted her. She was sweet and she smelled amazing. He flicked his tongue out and teased her a bit and she made some very satisfactory noises. Then he got serious and really went to town. He picked up a rhythm with his tongue, making circles and then flicking, sucking her in to his mouth.
The brunette climaxed so hard he thought she was going to fall off of the sink. Before her tremors had stopped, he straightened up and, putting a condom on first of course, pushed himself inside of her, hard. The girl let out a shout of pleasure and he began to move; rocking his hips back and forth, starting out slow. He held the girl by the hips and kissed her.
He began to pick up the pace, feeling his release build. The girl was going wild, breathing heavy and moaning loud. He kept going faster and faster until he was slamming his hips against her and he was moaning too. He knew his orgasm was coming, and fast, but he wanted the girl to get a release too; so he took his thumb and started to massage her while he pushed in and out. The girl burst in to another orgasm and mumbled some profanity as the pleasure ripped through her. Todd found his own release and pumped deep in to the brunette as he rode his own waves of bliss.

Very early the next morning, Todd slipped out of the brunette’s bed and headed for home. He descended the stairs and was waiting on the curb for his cab when he saw someone out of the corner of his eye. It was a woman walking towards him. It looked like she just came out of the doors of a bar. Todd couldn’t help but stare at her, she was tall, her hair was as red as fire, and she was dressed completely in black leather. Her tight bodice framed her breasts perfectly, and stopped just before her belly button which was exposed. The skin tight pants fell on her hips just right and the early morning light made the silver on her belt sparkle. She was wearing knee high black boots with skinny bright red heel on the back. Her red hair wad down around her shoulders and so curly it was out of control, going this was and that. Attached to her hip she wore what looked to be a whip, and around her neck was a silver choker necklace.
Todd could feel that his mouth was hanging open; he just couldn’t help it. As she got closer to him she saw that her eyes were so dark they looked black and she had high cheek bones and lips that were so perfect it hurt. All he could do was stand there and gape. She was beautiful, she was mesmerizing and she looked dangerous.
She walked passed him, giving a little wink when she met his eyes and then kept going. He didn’t get to watch her leave as long as he wanted because just then his cab showed up and he had to shake his head to clear it. He opened the back door and with one last glance at the woman in leather, he got in the car and the driver took him home.
He walked in the door of his house and immediately went for the shower. He felt the need to wash the brunette off of himself. He still couldn’t get the woman in leather out of his mind, her body and the wink she had given him. The more he thought about her, the harder his sex got. He tried to shake it off and jumped in the shower.
The hot water felt good on his skin. He early morning air had been chilly and the cab driver had the window down the whole ride. He shampooed his hair and shaved and washed his body with his favourite body wash. Even after all of the distraction, he couldn’t get the woman out of his head.
He looked down and saw that he was fully erect, and it seemed like it wasn’t going anywhere. He grabbed on to himself and started to stroke. The warmth of the shower and the tightness of his grip felt amazing. He closed his eyes and imagined that he was surrounded by all that leather, it had all fallen to the floor and she was standing naked in front of him and it was her hand on his skin and not his own. His orgasm hit him hard and he had to brace himself against the wall of the shower with his other hand to catch himself before he fell. He looked down and finally his sex was deflated. A woman had never had that kind of effect on him before; especially not one that he just passed on the street.
He worked with his new buckskin more that day, trying to saddle him up. Every time he tried, the horse would just move away or rear up. He was getting nowhere. Finally he gave up for the day and decided to go for a ride on one of the other horses. He saddled up his favourite mare and headed for the trails.
He owned a decent amount of land and it provided the perfect landscape for trail riding. He went down one trail and turned right on to a different one. Eventually he came out to a ridge and stopped the mare. They sat there quietly for a while, enjoying the fresh air.
In the back of his mind Todd could still see that woman. It was like his new obsession. He had to forget about it.
It was starting to get dark so he turned the mare around and went home. He brushed her down before he went in the house for the night and closed up the barn. He lay in his bed shortly after and fell asleep.
Todd dreamt about the woman in leather that night. He could see her hips, her legs and those amazing lips. This sexual dream was different compared to his normal ones. He realized in his dream that he was laying on a large bed; the sheets under him were black. His arms were held above his head and his legs were spread apart. He couldn’t move any of his limbs. Then he saw her. She was coming out of another room and she was wearing the same outfit he had seen her in. she was holding her whip and when she was standing next to him, she ran it lightly across the skin of his bare stomach, tickling and teasing him. He wanted to reach out for her but he couldn’t move his arms.
“No, no, I’m in control.” She said in a deep gravelly voice. She lifted her arm and flicked her wrist and the end came right towards him.
Todd woke up with a start. He had thrown the blankets off in the night; he was covered in sweat and fully erect.
For the next three days, all Todd could think about was the woman. Everything he did seemed to end in her on his mind. Finally he broke down and drove in to town where he had seen her. He pulled his truck to the side of the road and parked it. It was the middle of the day and the streets were quiet, everyone at work. The first thing he wanted to do was see what the bar was like she was coming out of.
He found the door and read the sign on the roof, ‘The Tiger’s Den’. He didn’t spend a lot of time in
town and he had never known this place was here. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He peered inside and all the lights were off and there was no one to be found. He saw there were the hours and some other papers posted in the window on his right so he went to read it. The bar didn’t open until 8:00 pm and closed at 3:00 am. The other papers were schedules of when the performers were on. Names like ‘Candy’, ‘Sparkle’ and ‘Sugar’ were listed as the dancers. He knew right then that this must be some kind of strip club.
All of a sudden Todd was very excited; if this list told him what the woman’s name was and when she was going to perform next, he could be here to see her. He looked at the schedule to see who had performed the night he was in town. The night in question was dubbed as ‘Dominatrix Night’. The names listed were Cassy, Jessica and the main act; Ember. He knew that was her. It had to be. It was a perfect name for the woman with the fire red hair. He looked through the list and saw that she was scheduled for that night.
Todd went home and paced around the house for the rest of the day, not getting a single thing done on the farm. That’s what he had hired hands for he supposed. Todd didn’t know what he was going to do when he saw Ember again, but he knew he had to. Maybe he would try to talk to her privately, see if maybe she’d be interested in meeting with him. It was totally out of the ordinary for him but he wanted to live that dream he had the other night. He wanted to know what it was like for Ember to be in charge.
Finally it was time to go back in to town, and he sped the whole way there. He found a parking lot close to the bar and walked down the street in the cool night air. The place was much more alive and pumping at this time of night. The sign was lit up and there was other neon colours coming from the windows. He could hear the music coming from inside and every time someone opened the door it got louder. There were a few people standing on the side walk smoking and talking loudly to each other. He walked passed them and pulled on the door handle.
