The Rancher by JA Lafrance
“What’s your safe word, Cindy?” I ask growing impatient with wait. Cindy knows what I
am about, she doesn’t like the dominant in me but likes that my cock is so big and my stamina is
over the top. It doesn’t hurt that I have a beard lining my face and emerald green eyes that seem
to entrance all the ladies, just never the ones with staying power.
“I don’t have one.” She moans like she is auditioning for the next adult film. Why do
women think they have to sound like the female on the porn movies, they are forcing that shit.
“Bullshit Cindy, this isn’t your first time with me. You know what I want, stop acting so
dumb. It’s unbecoming of you.” I growl and pinch the bridge of my nose. I hate this crap, it
happens every single time.
“Did you just call me stupid?” she screeches. She sounds like a damn screech owl looking
to be seen.
