I look over my shoulder at the guys, expecting at least a glimmer of sympathy, but every single one of them is staring at us in fascination. Rory gives me a filthy smile and I whirl back on Arben. “Are you kidding me? You said you were going to punish everyone. How is this going to hurt them?”

But Arben has snared my wrist, pulling me close. He looks pointedly at his massive thighs. “Lie down, princeshë. There’s no escaping your punishment.”

I feel my nostrils flare at his dark tone, but that’s as close to rebellious as I get. If he’s so set on spanking my butt, I’ll just grit my teeth and bear it. I’ve suffered worse in our defensive and conditioning sessions, after all. I can live through a few swats.

“Alright. Let’s get this over with.”

I hike up my dress, blushing at the fact I’m wearing a lacy thong. But I keep my eyes averted from the guys on the couch as I lower myself over Arben’s lap. His thighs are twice the size of mine and heavily muscled, and I have to bite back a groan at the scent lifting off his clothes. Arben is a smoky leather dream, and I cock a brow at him. “You sure this is meant to teach me a lesson?”

Before I’m completely settled, a big hand presses into my back while another comes down hard on my left cheek. The sting takes a moment to hit me, and then it’s a red-hot sizzle. “Ow!” I shriek, trying to scramble away. “That fucking hurts!”

Arben doesn’t bother responding to the obvious, bringing his hand down in exactly the same way again, only this time on my right cheek. Somehow, it stings even more, and I curse and buck, but he’s got me pinned. “Stop! That’s enough.”

“It’s not ten.”

“It’s two,” Rory says helpfully from the couch, but before I can send him a death glare, Arben’s hand is coming down again. He’s moved just enough to catch the edge of his first smack but also reach the tender skin at the top of my thigh, and tears spring to my eyes. “Fuck! Why do your hands have to be so fucking big?”

Rory chortles at that, no doubt ready with some filthy quip, but Arben steals the air out of the room when he spanks me three times in quick succession. The pain is like a wildfire, burning hottest on my cheeks but radiating down my thighs. A sob tears out of me, and I dig my nails into Arben’s calf. Of course, it’s like gripping rock, and doesn’t stop him in any way from hitting me again. One! Two! Goddamn owwwww!

“How the fuck does anyone like this?”

“I like it,” Kelly says quietly, and I’m so surprised, I blink at him through my tears. And the evidence is right there, his erection tenting his sweatpants, his cheeks flushed and his eyes wide. I watch as his gaze roams from my stinging ass, up my spine, to my flushed and tear-streaked face. “You look beautiful, Angel.”

I gulp, a hint of his arousal reaching me and making me squirm in a different way. It takes me a moment to realize Arben is rubbing soothing circles over my flaming skin, but right when I feel a trickle of pleasure, his hand comes down again and I screech. “It’s their turn!” I wail, kicking my feet. “I’m not the only one who screwed up!”

“Yeah, but we’d follow you into hell, Angel,” Rory says, and I peer at him through tear-soaked lashes. “With great sexiness comes great responsibility.”

I gape at this bit of wisdom, but Arben spanks me again, this time between my cheeks, and I almost vibrate off his lap. But my next sob becomes a screech when I focus on Rory again. “Are you seriously eating snacks and jerking off to my pain?”

Because he’s got one hand buried in a bag of Doritos and the other wrapped around his dick.

“Baby, if you could see the view I have, you’d understand.” He shoves a few more corn chips in his mouth and grins at me. “Besides, those are love taps. He’s going to destroy my ass a lot worse when he gets through with you.”

“Yeah, but you’re going to enjoy it!” My gaze skips down the row of my mates, all in some state of arousal except for Link. He won’t even glance at me, but Cam gets to his feet and comes over to look at Arben’s handiwork.

I peer up at him, hoping he’ll pull the medic card and call for an ice pack, but he just shakes his head. “She can take more. She’s barely pink on that cheek.”

My mouth drops open, the betrayal making me squeak. “Cam! You cannot be serious!”

But he just looks down at me with a small smirk. “You’ve got a few more in you. Tough it out, babe.”

Tough it out? Fuck my pack. The whole lot of them can go screw themselves.

“You’re animals!” I howl while I brace for the next blow. How many are we up to? God, I don’t even know. I press my sobs into my arm and hold on, but Arben speeds up now, finishing with a few quick smacks. And then he’s blowing cold air over my sizzling skin. I give a feeble kick, swiping at my eyes as he lifts me off my lap. When he sets me on my feet without so much as a cuddle, I glare at him. “You’re an asshole,” I mutter.

But he glares back just as hard. “You do this again, and I’ll spank you twice as long and twice as hard.”

My mouth drops open. “You wouldn’t!”

“It’s what’s called a deterrent, princeshë.” He smirks at my outrage. “Now I know you don’t enjoy it, I’ll keep my hand warm and ready.”

I’m tempted to stick my tongue out at him, but I tug my dress down instead, wincing as it brushes my tender ass. But when I try to flounce away, Arban grabs my wrist with a warning look. I glare back, but he stands to his full height, which even I have to admit is intimidating. “We’re not done yet.”

I want to yell at him, but he’s leading me over to the couch, and I have to admit I’m curious about what he’s planning next. When he jerks his head at Rory, I bite back a smirk. “Drop the snacks and go sit in the chair.”

Rory jumps up, his dick still in his hand, and gives me a kiss on my cheek as he bounces past. When he’s settled, Arben unzips my dress and presses gently on my back. “Lie down, princeshë.”

I look at my mates, but they’re already reaching to settle me across their knees, my head closest to Link and Cam near my feet. Their combined scent makes my mouth water, but I twist to look up at Arben. “What now? Are they going to spank me some more?”
