Payne — Lashell Collins

Payne Kelly is not a man to be trifeled with. Not on the job, not in a biker bar, and certainly not in his relationships with his submissives. His life is one of discipline and control, and that's the way he likes it. But he's tired of going from one short-term contract to another, so, when he goes looking for a sub to settle down with, his orderly world is thrown into chaos when he encounters the beautiful but troubled Phoebe White.

Phoebe's not sure what to make of Payne when he comes to her rescue one night. But when his knight in shining armor routine turns into an interview to see if she'd be a compatible submissive, Phoebe's too afraid to hope. Heartbroken over the death of her former Dom, she's doubtful anyone could ever measure up, and she sets out to prove that Payne's not serious about sticking around for the long haul.
