BLURB: Putting a leash on a dominant sub is a task that may require two Doms to accomplish.
When relocation agent Eric Swann is assigned to ease young Connor Prescott into moving back to London, he expects the boy to be more enthusiastic—and less irritating.
Used to roaming freely among his mother’s D-list celebrity friends, Connor is anything but happy when his father decides to put him on a leash—a leash with a far too attractive handler on the other end. Secretly craving a man who knows how to yank his chain and show him exactly where the limits are, Connor does what he’s best at. He manipulates Eric into giving him what he wants, making the man reveal a side of him that Eric himself isn’t ready to accept.
Trained by one of the quirkiest Dom/sub-teams in the country, Dom Tyler Kane knows exactly how to handle a toppy sub. He keeps Connor on his toes, er, knees, in the bedroom, but when his capricious lover sets his heart on pushing yet another limit, Tyler finds himself not only with a dominant sub but also with a Dom who has yet to accept his true identity.
Reader Advisory: Due to sexually explicit content this book is intended for adult readers only. Contains scenes in which the main characters are sexually involved with secondary characters and vivid descriptions of unusual sexual practices.
While this book can be read as a standalone novel, it is best enjoyed as part of the series in order of release (Sub-Mission, Re-Submission, Sub-Culture, Sub-Dominant)

Connor smiled at him
and nodded. The dreamy expression made his eyes gleam seductively and Eric
forced himself to focus on the conversation.
“My experience with
guys was good. Sure, it was awkward at first, but I’ve always felt good with a
man.”
Eric raised his
eyebrows. “Always? You’re eighteen, for crying out loud. How many men have you
been with?”
Connor made a face and
avoided Eric’s gaze. “A few. How many have you been with?”
“This isn’t about me.”
“Why not? Why don’t I
get to ask questions?”
Eric sighed. “Okay,
fine. I’m twenty-six, and I’ve probably been with...a few more men than you
have.” He waggled his eyebrows when Connor looked at him.
The young man laughed.
“You big chicken!”
“I’m not a big chicken,
but I do have a big—” Eric bit his tongue. Shit. That wasn’t the kind of
comment he should be making in his young charge’s presence.
Connor didn’t seem
fazed. “I noticed. Are you a shower or a grower?”
“Um... A bit of both.
It grows some more but—Seriously, Connor, this is TMI. We shouldn’t be talking
about these things.”
“Why? What’s wrong with
two guys comparing the size of their dicks?”
“We’re not comparing
the size of our dicks!”
Connor smirked. “Aren’t
we? I know where you’ll be looking when I get up to use the restroom.”
“Connor! For fuck’s
sake, sit down!”
A sweet, sinful smile
on his face, Connor stood up, making sure to linger with his groin at Eric’s
eye level before he turned around with an unnecessary amount of butt-wiggling,
then he stalked off. The boy was either at least half erect or blessed.
When he returned,
Connor’s smile was still in place and even naughtier than before. Head held
high and back straight, he turned the narrow aisle to their table into some
sort of fashion runway. Stopping right in front of Eric, he tilted his hip to
give him an eyeful of his bulging groin before he sat down.
“Can you guess?”
Eric gritted his teeth.
“Guess what?”
“Whether I’m a shower
or a grower.”
“I can’t guess. I
haven’t even thought about it.”
“Liar.” Connor pouted,
but amusement danced in his voice. “You’ve been thinking about it ever since I
mentioned it, and you thought about it before. Did you imagine me naked?”
“Connor! Shut up now,
will you? We’re not alone here.”
Connor tilted his head
and looked up from underneath those ridiculous charcoal lashes. “Do you want to
go back to my room? We’ll be all alone there.” Green sparks glittered in the
dim light, teasing him, challenging him. Eric had known it was coming and had
tried to be ready when it did, but Connor still took him by surprise with this
alcohol-fuelled come-on.
“I don’t think that’s
such a good idea.” Eric forced the words out, watching Connor’s full, slightly
parted lips. He’d been thinking about kissing those lips more than once during
the last weeks and even more often on that evening. The thought of feeling them
on other parts of his anatomy had his blood racing to those parts.
“I know you want to,”
Connor breathed and leaned across the table, stopping only inches from Eric’s
face, almost close enough for a kiss.
“Connor, really, I—”
“I’ll let you put it
anywhere you want.”
“I’m not putting
anything anywhere except you to bed. Alone. We’re leaving. Now.” He signalled
for the bill, secretly grateful for the delay as his body and mind needed a few
minutes to calm down. Connor sat with his arms folded across his chest,
pouting.
When Eric had paid, he
got up and glared down at Connor. “We’re going back to the hotel now. No acting
up, no discussion. If you pull any of your usual stroppy shit on me, I’m going
to drag you along by the scruff of the neck. Got that?” He marched off towards
the door without even checking if Connor was following him. Outside, he waited
just long enough for Connor to catch up with him, then he led the way down the
road.
“Fuck, Eric,” Connor
panted. “Slow down a bit, will you? I was joking, okay? Don’t be mad at me.”
“I’m not mad at you but
I am taking you back to your hotel now.”
“Don’t you wanna get a
cab?”
Eric scoffed. “The
hotel is just around the corner. The walk will do you good.”
