I wanted herbeggingfor me. I wanted her insane for me. And that wasn’t going to happen if I didn’t leave her wanting more.

She was stubborn as hell, which I loved. But if I gave her everything she wanted right this moment? She’d claim later on that she didn’t want any of it and she’d get even more rebellious. I was always excited to tame a wild creature like Claire but you had to do it the right way. I needed her desire to overcome her pride so that she wouldn’t backtrack once she was satisfied.

“See, that wasn’t too bad.” I pushed her upright and helped her to stand again, my heart thumping wildly when I saw how flushed her face was and how dark her eyes were. “Maybe from now on you’ll learn to behave. I give you rules for a reason. You need to follow them.”

Claire stared at me, and for a second, I thought she might do something like kiss me or ask me for more. My cock twitched in my pants at the thought. I really, really wanted to throw her onto the bed and forget all reason, but I had a plan—both for Claire’s attackers and for the two of us—and I wasn’t going to let either of those get derailed.

“Y-yes, sir,” Claire said obediently.

I contained my smug smile. Oh, yes, I was going to get what I wanted out of her by the end, no doubt about it.

CHAPTER7

Claire

Ididn’t know what to expect when Vaughn pulled up to the cabin, but it sure as hell wasn’t a spanking.

When he threw that damn rock through the window I was startled, for sure, but I didn’t see what the big deal was. I was perfectly safe. I’d known it was him. I’d heard the sound of the Jeep. It hadn’t occurred to me that someone might follow Vaughn and get the best of him, that he might not have time to warn me. Or that someone might have stolen his car to fool me.

I supposed that maybe I should be a little less proud and defiant and a little more willing to defer to his rules. This was his area of expertise, after all. But his attitude about it was just so damn infuriating.

Yes, I’d left the cabin. I had been on the run and hunted for weeks! I was feeling stir crazy and needed to work off the adrenaline.

As he spoke, while he was firm, there was also… a ton of sincerity in his voice that I hadn’t noticed the last time. I felt a little bad but I also wasn’t going to just apologize and be meek and mild. Not to someone so domineering like Vaughn.

Then he brought up the cameras.

The thing was—I hadn’t checked out the security room. It felt like that would make this all real again. Like I would panic if I went down into that airless room and saw all the technology that proved I was in danger, that I had to be on my guard at all times. So I’d had no idea that the cameras weren’t just for the outside of the cabin, but also the inside.

My face heated as I remember what I’d done while those cameras watched. I was relieved that I hadn’t said anything out loud, otherwise Vaughn would’ve definitely heard me moaning his name or halfway roleplaying him fucking me.

I wanted to die of embarrassment.

And now, the spanking could just be a way to humiliate me, right? To teach me a lesson so that I wouldn’t break the rules again. It was hard to tell with Vaughn. His damn attitude was so… so…overbearing.

All right. He was the one in control and he knew it, and nothing that I did would change that fact. And I found it frustrating, irritating, and sexy all at the same time. I didn’t find it as infuriating as I first had, because I could understand it was coming from a place of concern.

But oh my God. From the moment I bent over Vaughn’s knees, I didn’t care about any of it anymore.

This, I realized in a blinding moment of heat that engulfed my entire body, was what I had always wanted from Richard in our sex life and never gotten. This was what I had tried to ask for but hadn’t even truly known how to define for him.

I felt like the complete center of Vaughn’s attention. With my ass in my air like this, bent over his legs, I felt completely vulnerable, but I found that I liked it. There was something thrilling about letting go of all my worries and cares and trusting this man with my body.

It was still a shock when the first spank landed on my ass and I found my pussy clenching, hot and wet, desperate for a touch, for someone to fill me up.

Oh my God.

Every smack seemed to set me further on fire. I could barely count out the words. And when Vaughn told me to call him ‘sir’… I thought I was going to spontaneously combust. By the time he was finished with me, I just wanted him to touch me where I was slick and bare. I wanted him to keep spanking me. I wanted to have something, anything to rub against so that I could get some relief, so that I could orgasm…

Vaughn pushed me upright and helped me to stand, and I felt like the whole world lurched with me. I had never been so off-kilter before. I needed more of him, his guiding touch, his firm dominance. My breath felt like it came too shallowly, too quickly. I had no idea what expression was on my face, but it probably gave everything away.

“See, that wasn’t too bad,” Vaughn said.

His tone was still firm but gentler than it had been before. I could tell I was no longer in trouble. I’d taken my discipline, and so the slate was wiped clean.

“Maybe from now on you’ll learn to behave. I give you rules for a reason. You need to follow them.”

“Y-yes, sir,” I managed to say out loud.
