Page 74 of Innocent Intentions

Then she burst into my office, pale and frantic, and my heart fucking stopped. I was across the room in seconds.

Fear consumed me.

I hated it.

I hated that she has the power to make me feel that kind of panic.

When I realized what she was asking for, I was confused. Why would she want to do something that could open her up to perverts? I have more than enough money to support her. She doesn’t need to work. She doesn’t need to expose herself to disgusting men who would jerk off to her voice.

But she refused to see reason.

And when she spit in my face, I saw red.

Our first fight.

That’s a milestone.

Her fiery temper made me just as angry as it did hard. I wanted to pin her to my desk and fuck the attitude out of her.

I didn’t. But I wanted to.

I can’t let her see that kind of weakness in me.

So, I leaned into the anger instead.

As much as her fire turns me on, I can’t let her disrespect me. I’ve been too lenient. She needs a reminder of who’s in charge. She needs to be punished.

The thought makes my cock throb.

But now that I’ve had a few hours to cool off, I realize I may have been too harsh. I stand by my decision. No perverts get to listen to my girl’s voice. But narrating clearly means something to her.

Maybe I can find a way to make it work.

Maybe I can get Bash to track who listens to her audiobooks?

They can listen.

But I’ll know who they are.

And if I ever find out one of them is getting off to her?

I’ll handle him.

Hearing that she doesn’t record those scenes with another man helps. I would have put a stop immediately. That changes things.

So, I’ll think on it.

But first, I need to apologize.

And remind my sweet girl that no matter how hard she fights me...

She’s already mine.

It’s been hours since our fight, but I’m still fuming.
