“You like that, princess? You like the way I discipline your bad behavior?”

“No! Yes—oh, you asshole, oh, God!”

Her legs fell open, and I rubbed her greedy clit that throbbed for a firmer touch. She was right on the edge of orgasm and would do anything to get there. Unfortunately, for her, this was where the real punishment came.

After a few more swats, I teased her clit again until her fingers curled and she whined my name in that way I fucking adored. I knew she was about to shatter right there and come hard all over my hand.

I removed my fingers and smoothed my palm over her heated ass cheeks. Then gently pulled down her skirt.

“All done. You took your punishment so well.”

I lifted Landon up and shifted her so she sat fully on my lap. I smoothed back her tangled her and looked into her stunned blue eyes, blurred with a raw hunger that made me almost come in my pants. I’d never been wanted like this before.

I’d never beenseenlike this before. It wasn’t about the pleasure I gave her. I could tell the way she reached up to touch me, to sink her fingers into my hair and bring my mouth close to her. I could see not only the lust carved into her face, but something so much more…something fragile and real and deep.

Something like love.

“Adam?” Her lips trembled. “Why did you stop?”

I kissed her, my tongue thrusting into her mouth, gathering her sweet taste, wrapping myself up in her flavor and scent and the sting of her nails on my scalp. “I told you. Your punishment is over.”

She ground her pussy over my thighs. “I need to come. I’m going to die if I don’t.”

I counted to three in my head before I answered her. “Princess, that’s not going to happen tonight. Not unless you do what I asked you, remember? Strip and kneel at my feet.”

Her jaw unhinged.

Chapter Eleven

Landon

Listen to This is Heaven

by Nick Jonas

Istared at him, still half drugged by the arousal that pumped heavily through my blood, making me weak. My entire body hurt with a throbbing hunger that only Adam could fulfill.

What the hell had just happened?

The inner voice popped up to answer.You got your ass abused and you loved every second.

Yes, I’d read about all this stuff, but it was like being a voyeur, safe to be turned on from the sidelines, like a book or movie. Tonight, Adam had dragged me into reality and though it had been uncomfortable at first, I wasn’t about to lie to myself. With each smack on my ass, I hadn’t been wriggling to get away. I hadn’t hated being spanked and humiliated.

I’d lit up like a fucking Christmas tree.

Even now, with confusion swamping my mind, I loved his gentleness. His big, rough palm smoothed my hair back,caressed my cheek. His gaze held such intense care and pride, as if by taking his punishment so well, I’d made him happy. My head said it was screwed up, but my body contradicted the rationality, confirming I was turned on in a way I’d never experienced before. Plus, he’d asked me every step of the way, giving me plenty of time to back out or say the word red.

Still, my body raged with an empty ache I needed to fill. I’d die if I had to leave with such backed up sexual energy. And now he was calmly telling me after taking his spanking, I still wasn’t going to get off?

“I did what you said.”

He pressed a loving kiss to my lips. The combination of edgy pain and sweet tenderness made me spin out. God, why did I love the contradiction so much? My body begged for more. “No, you didn’t. I asked you to get on your knees and you refused.”

I treated him to a full pout. “You weren’t clear about what was going to happen.”

“Because you don’t need to know. You just need to do what I say.”

His tone was mild, but his gaze narrowed in command, getting me all melty. When he deepened his voice and bossed me around, I got so hot. “So, if I kneel, you’ll give me what I want?”
