nodded.
When the covering was pulled away and barrier between his neck and collar removed, Blake helped him to his feet and Ty nearly collapsed. There had been no pain, no physical hardship to endure; it was the full weight of the commitment behind the metal circling his throat that nearly drove him to his knees. He didn’t fall, however, but stood in the center of the stage; with Blake at his back and in front of those gathered, Ty puffed out his chest and proudly displayed Blake’s collar.
“Although this collar represents Ty’s submission to me,” Blake announced, “it’s also a symbol of my devotion and commitment to him and his to me. It, as well as the band around my wrist, is a constant reminder of the promise we made to each other. It is the promise of forever, and I’ll work every day to be worthy of him.”
As everyone stood and applauded, whistling and calling out congratulations, Ty reached up and lovingly stroked the collar. Forever. Ty gave in to the overwhelming emotions, throwing his arms around Blake and burying his face in Blake’s neck as the tears started to blur his vision.
Blake held him tightly, giving him a minute to get his emotions under control before pulling back slightly and lifting Ty’s chin. “Go show it off so I can take you home.”
Ty sniffed and grinned as he wiped at his damp cheeks. “Yes, Sir.”
He started to pull away, but Blake stopped him and leaned in close, speaking against Ty’s ear. “And when we get there, I’m going to fuck my beautiful boy through the mattress.”
A shudder went through Ty at the harsh growl in Blake’s voice, and he groaned loudly when his cock was grabbed in a tight fist and pumped a couple of times. Ty practically ran off the stage. The sooner he accepted the congratulations from their friends, the quicker they could go home.
B LAKE had seduced his mind and demanded his focus, and in return Ty had given him his body to command. Yet in the end, Blake had found his soul and given him the home and family he was always missing, and Ty was his forever.
Author’s Note:
Thank youto everyone who followed the Whispering Pines Ranch Series and demanded Ty’s happily ever after. I hope I was able to do Ty and Blake proud. These two men have some very interesting friends who deserve to have their stories told. Watch for a new series coming to Dreamspinner Press April 19, 2013, called Guards of Folsom. Book #1 Pup features Tackett and Micah.

Chapter One
I N ELEMENTARY school—first or second grade, the exact date elusive now—Tackett Austin had discovered he was different. He’d shown up on the playground late for recess, the groups already decided. Some boys played ball. Others used index finger and thumb as a pretend gun, running, ducking, rolling, and shooting at each other. Then there was the group of girls playing hopscotch, boring game, while another group of girls sat on the monkey bars watching the boys and their antics. Tackett, without hesitation, joined the girls on the monkey bars and watched the boys. He took a lot of ribbing for that choice, got called names like sissy, freak, bullied by the other boys, but he didn’t pay them any attention and never questioned the
