“I like it too.”

She looked up into his eyes and he glanced away nervously for a second beforemeeting her gaze again.

“I’d really like to explore what the future might hold for us. Would you like that?”

Her heart swelled and she smiled with glee. He wanted her too. Still feeling like jelly, she nodded before gathering herself to answer. “I would definitely like to continue seeing you like this. I don’t know if I’ll be able to have a relationship that doesn’t include my bare backside getting spanked over a man’s knees ever again.”

He chuckled and hugged her tight. “Good. Thank you for that, Raina. Now let’s get this test finished before I get the sudden need to ravish your naked body again.”

She giggled and pulled her clothes back on, feeling as though she was the happiest girl in the world. She sat back down next to him and they began going through the exam together and she couldn’t help herself as she threaded her fingers into his. He gripped her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing the tops of her knuckles with a look that promised many things to come.

Between the two of them, they finalized the test and administered it to the undergraduate class a few days later. The weekend after the exam, they were working hard together to grade the results of the test. Eliot had made sure that she did so with both a sore bottom and a rather large plug deep in her ass.

As they were nearing the end of the pile, he looked up at her with interest.

“So the holidays are coming up, what are your plans? Going to visit family?”

“No, not this year. There’s a few experiments I have to finish up for my thesis and flying out to see them seems like an awfully long trip for just a couple days. I plan on going out to visit my family next year though, after graduation.” She looked up at him, surprised to see a flicker of nervousness cross his face. “Why do you ask?” she pressed, curiosity getting the best of her.

“Would you like to spend the holidays with me then? Experience what it really means to be my woman, in all ways?”

“Do you really mean it?” She looked up at him, wide-eyed with excitement.

“I do. But,” he paused while raking his eyes up and down her clothed body, “you’re going to be naked the whole time. I will not allow you to cover even an inch of that gorgeous body from my view unless I wish to adorn it with something. Would you like that?”

“I would like that very much, sir,” she whispered excitedly. Her thighs twitched as she thought about all the things that would be possible in the privacy of his own home.

“Good. I expect you to arrive at my house on Friday. I will text you the address. Then, I’m going to take you to my condo in Vermont, which is at the foot of Mount Snow.There’s nothing quite like spending the holidays up north, surrounded by the white beauty of winter. Does that sound like fun?”

“Sounds like a winter wonderland,” she exclaimed, excited at the prospect of skiing and tubing on a mountain of snow.

“Once we arrive at my place in Vermont, I expect you to fold your clothes and leave them on the side table in the entryway. You’ll stay there with me for the weekend and longer if you like.”

“I look forward to it.”

“Good.”

Neither of them spoke much more as they finished grading the exams, but she was entirely comfortable in the easy silence. His commanding presence kept her calm and happy. She wouldn’t have changed a single moment.

When they were finished, he directed her to bend over his desk. She shivered at his command and sighed when he reached around her hips to unbutton her jeans. He tugged them down her waist, revealing her purple lace-trimmed satin panties. Her thighs trembled at his dominant touch. Rough fingers trailed up and down the back of her legs before they began to travel between her cheeks. Pressing on the base, he pushed the plug deeper into her ass and she whimpered at the feelings of pleasure and pain that raced through her body. She felt him grip the base and she wailed softly as he began to pull it from her tight rim of muscle. The widest point of the plug stretched her achingly slowly, causing her to cry out at the soreness. Once the toy began to narrow, it slipped out of her bottom easily. Rising up on her toes, she whined at the empty feeling.

His thumb grazed over her tender bottom hole and her hips arched back toward him. She knew she was incredibly wet and she sighed when he found the evidence of her arousal slick between her legs.

“Naughty girl. Look at how wet you are.”

She didn’t respond and only whined softly with her desire. He didn’t say anything, but knelt down and grasped the hem of her jeans. Roughly, he pulled them further down her legs and over her feet, leaving her naked from the waist down. He grabbed her hips and twisted her toward him. Gripping her bottom cheeks in both of his hands, he lifted her cleanly off the floor and onto his desk. He pressed her back, all the while sweeping folders and papers onto the floor.

“Spread those legs. If you close them, even an inch, I’m going to paddle that ass of yours so hard that you won’t be able to sit down at all tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir,” she wailed as she held her knees open wide so that he had the view of her pussy he desired. He placed his palms on either side of her thighs and pressed them open even wider. He leaned down and she groaned when she saw his tongue flick forward. Whenits rough wet surface scraped against her clit, she whimpered.

He lapped against her wetness, constantly changing the direction of his tongue, which left her breathless. Again and again, he would bring her to the edge before backing off again, causing her to sob with her need.

The coil inside her tightened again and again, her body climbing to heights she’d never been before. It almost felt like she was on a rollercoaster, rising high up into the air and about to hurtle down a mountain at any given moment.

He paused and she cried out. She needed to come.
