Today my Owned For Christmas Blog tour starts with a stop at Female First with a little discussion about loving your true self. An issue that I believe many struggle with--I know I have--along with many of my characters.

I hope you'll stop by and take a look.

To celebrate the release Total-E-Bound's Tied to the Billionaire anthology, we're hosting a blog hop, to introduce all our readers to the billionaire's we love.

Start by reading my interview of Richard Barrett, the hero of Working For Him. This Dom knows just how to make all the ladies swoon, especially the ones he employees.

WE: Thank you so much for being here today Mr. Barrett. I know you’re a busy man and have a lot to do.

RB: I’m happy to be here.

WE: And Mrs. Barrett, I’m so glad you could make it as well. 

SB: It’s Mrs. Carter-Barrett actually. I’m thrilled to be here too. Any press, is
good press for the company.

WE: Um, sure...Mr. Barrett, for all those at home, can you describe to how you became a billionaire?

RB:  I’ve always been fascinated by air travel, even from a young age. My parents had a private jet, and we would often take trips to see the world, but I was always more interested in the flight and the pilot than the locations we were going.

At sixteen I got my first pilot’s license. And I was hooked. After graduating from Wharton with my best friend Dante, we started our own airline,
Vertical Aeronautics. In the eighteen years since its creation, we’ve grown the business to the largest airline in North America.

WE: Wow, that’s very impressive. You seem to have a real passion for your
work.

RB: Thankfully, its one I share with my wife. He grabs his wife’s hand and looks lovingly into her eyes.

WE: That is fortunate, but I happen to know that’s not all you share a love of. When did you first explore the world of BDSM?

RB: He straightens his posture in the chair and looks forward. I believe in college sometime. Dante brought me to my first club. I just walked around and watched at first. It was all so overwhelming, people spanking, whipping, caning all over the place, in states of semi dress. I felt completely out of my element, until I watched a dominate in one corner blindfold and spank his submissive. I got so aroused by how she knelt before him, begging for each slap, I almost came on the spot.

I went up to the Dom after and asked how he could make a woman do that. He laughed, and asked me why I wanted to know. When I explained how it made me feel, he explained to me the basics of BDSM and told me to come back when I was sure what I wanted. I came back the next night.

He taught me everything I know. All the tricks I still use to this day. He
looks at his wife, curling his arm around her shoulders and tugging slightly on her hair. She blushes and looks down. 

I make a point of teaching what I know. Other Dom’s need to know the best ways to keep their sub happy, while also keeping her safe and protected.

WE: I understand you wanting to protect other subs. But have you ever made a mistake in your BDSM?

RB: Physically no. But I definitely made a mistake by not letting Serena know how I felt about her earlier. I almost lost her because of it. Thankfully, she found a way to forgive me.

WE: You are one lucky man. Why do you think Serena is the one?

RB: Serena’s the only women I’ve ever been with that truly wanted me. Not my money, not my dominance, but me. She’s truly one of a kind. I was blessed to have found her.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as a submissive?

RB: Her ability to give me everything in that moment. With Serena there’s no half way, when she submits she gives me everything. More than I deserve some times.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as an employee?

RB: Her passion definitely. It’s what lead me to hire her. It’s what makes me
thankful every day that she works for me, and not the competition.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as a wife?

RB: laughs. I think we should be married at least a month before I start picking favorite traits. 

WE: Fair enough. So what plans do you both have for the future?

RB: Well, I’m definitely looking forward to some quiet. It’s been crazy with all the interviews and reporters interested in hearing about our story and our marriage.

WE: looks down sheepishly. Sorry about that.

RB: Shakes his head. We’re definitely looking forward to spending some time as a married couple and getting back to an equilibrium. 

SB: And there’s a lot of integration work to be done with Argonaut Air.

RB: Very true pet. We just bought out another airline, Argonaut Air, and we’ll be spending quite a bit of the future merging the two companies. After that, who knows. The future’s ours. He brings his wife’s hand to his mouth and kisses her palm.

WE: I don’t want to keep you too any longer. Thank you so much for your time. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you again soon.

RB: Winks. You can bet on it.
