Page 95 of The Owner's Temptation

He bends lower, his palm rubbing over the sting of my ass, soothing and cruel all at once.

“You’re soaking,” he says, almost to himself, but I hear the satisfaction in it. “So fucking wet for me and I haven’t even touched your pretty little cunt.”

Smack.

“I know that is what you really want, Angel.” His whisper is more growl.

A whimper breaks free before I can stop it.

Not just from shame.

But from fury.

I want to come. I want to scream. I want to claw at him for starting this and leaving me wrecked.

But all I can do is stay there.

Ass high.

Face flushed against the polished desk.

Legs trembling. Clit throbbing.

When the last smack comes—sharp, final—it leaves me breathless.

Then silence.

His hand glides over the tender flesh of my ass again, slower now. Almost gentle. Like he’s proud of his work. Like I’m some lesson taught, punishment delivered.

“Beautiful.” He murmurs.

And I hate how much Ilikedit.

How much I wantedmore.

Lucian leans down, his breath warm at my ear. His cock presses against me—hard, restrained,untouched.

“Watch your smart mouth, angel.” He takes in a deep breath, inhaling me, his nose pressed into my hair. “I do enjoy shutting it.”

That’s the end of it. He doesn’t kiss me. Doesn’t finger me. Doesn’t even look at me like I’m worthy of the release I need so badly.

He just steps back, leaving my red ass exposed, my legs spread wide. The cold rush of air stings as he removes his heat from me, and I bolt up.

I’m crying, my nose is running and as I sit up to pull my dress down, he stops me.

“Who gave you permission to get up?”

I want to turn around and slap him, then pull him into me and devour his mouth. Spread my legs and feel him slam his hard cock into me.

Instead, I stay here. My red ass cheeks burning as I stay still, just how he posed me.

He walks around his desk to his chair, unrolling his sleeves and reaching for his first cufflink.

“Go clean yourself up, then you’re dismissed.”

Without a word or a look back at him, I work my tight dress back down and leave. Slamming his door behind me.

Dismissed.Asshole.
