Page 39 of Captivated By Him

“Jakub,” I say softly. Maybe I can appeal to his protective nature. “It’s going to hurt. You said you don’t want me hurt,” I remind him, seeing as that’s his entire argument for me to marry him.

“Damn right this is going to hurt,” he says just before a fire lights across my ass cheeks.

I cry out but it’s more from the shock of it. The last time he spanked me, he had eased me into it. A light spanking, then harder, faster, but now he’s going right into it.

“Stop!” I yell and swing my legs as the next blow lands. I scissor my legs, and the next swat hits the inside of my thigh, making me howl.

“When I tell you to stay somewhere, Nicole, you stay.” He hits my leg with his hip until I close them again, then brings the belt down again and again and again until I’m a blubbering mess.

“Please. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I can barely breathe well enough to apologize.

He brings the belt down once more then everything stills. Other than my pathetic little sobs, there’s silence.

Jakub carefully helps me back to my feet and then upright until I’m facing him. The belt is still in his hand as he wipes away the tears running down my cheeks.

“You spanked me,” I accuse him when my breath gets back in line with the rest of my body.

He grins. “I did. And I’ll do it again if you put yourself in danger. I’ll do it every time,” he amends, because he knows me well enough to know this won’t be the last time.

“I didn’t like it.” I drag the back of my hands across my cheeks. There’s a lightness to my chest that wasn’t there before, but I don’t know why. My ass is on fire, my cheeks burn from humiliation, and here I am wishing he’d wrap his arms around me and hold me tight.

Then he goes and does just that. He pulls me to his chest and hugs me, resting his chin on my head.

“When you spread your legs, I saw how wet your pussy is right now, Nicole.” He taunts me with my body’s betrayal.

“That doesn’t mean I liked it.”

“No, but it means your body reacts to it. This was a small punishment; you’re not supposed to like it. If this wasn’t a punishment, I’d be licking up all those juices. I’d be giving you so much fucking pleasure you’d be screaming and crying for another reason.” He moves his hips forward and the hard length of his cock presses into me.

My pussy clenches. He’s not wrong. My body has reacted, and I want his cock inside me. I want everything he’s teasing me with.

I pull back from him, reaching up on my toes to capture his mouth in a kiss. He cups my face, reciprocating my movements, but he goes further. It turns into a mark of possession, the strength and power he gives as he deepens the kiss. I’ve never wanted anyone as badly as I want this man right now.

Abruptly, he pulls back.

“But it was a punishment, Nicole. That means you go straight to bed, no touching your pretty little pussy.” He spins me around gently and pats my sore ass. “I’ll be up in a minute.”

I take a step forward, and a fog of desire and denial wraps around me as I move up the stairs and to the bedroom, doing exactly as he says because I don’t want another round of his belt, and more important, I don’t want to feel so much desire for his touch only to be denied.

Once I’m in bed, the blankets pulled up to my chin, the cloud of arousal diminishes, and I realize two things.

One, I’m going to be Mrs. Jakub Staszek tomorrow.

And two, I forgot my sandwich down in the kitchen.

Chapter 12

My cock aches just looking at Nicole lying on the bed, belly side down and the faint pink of her ass framed by the sheets that have sunk just below her cheeks. It’s early, barely morning, but I’m wide awake.

I need to get across town to meet with Dominik. Even pushed to the edge of the family business, I’m required to tag along now and then. But not even a cold shower is going to get my mind away from what I really want.

Climbing onto the bed, I grab her hips and pull her toward me, then flip her to her back.

Her dark eyes fly open the moment she’s on her back. She goes straight into fight mode, kicking her legs and trying to sit up.

“Shhh, it’s just me,” I assure her, pushing her gently back to the bed by her shoulders.

She blinks up at me, surprise in her sleepy eyes. “What are you doing?” she asks, wiping her hand across her face, pulling her feet up to her ass.
