What was he waiting for? A full minute went by in silence as Allison caught her breath, enjoying the feel of his squeezing of her tender spots.
"This isn't working, Allison. I'm not the enemy here. I care about you and I do want to help you, but you're right. You are an adult. You haven't consented to my discipline and guidance."
His words filled her with dread. She did want him to stop spanking her, but more than that, she didn't want him to release her. She felt truly safe for the first time in a long time locked in his embrace. He may be wailing on her defenseless bottom, but she had no doubt that he was doing it because he really thought it would help.
It only took a few seconds to untangle themselves from his iron hold on her. The coolness of the room as she stood naked in front of him gave her goose bumps. She was unsteady on her feet, but he leaned forward to grab her hips to steady her. She could feel her nipples hardening as the perspiration she'd worked up moments earlier dried in the cool air. Zach raked his gaze across her body greedily.
"I'm not going to apologize, but I am going to give you a choice to decide for yourself."
"Decide what?"
"If you're going to turn yourself over to me."
She wasn't sure she understood. Embarrassment had her blushing. "I told you, I want you. I don't know what else you want from me."
"That's just sex, honey. Anyone can have sex."
That answer surprised her. "But… what then?"
"I want you to submit to me. I want you to let me take care of you. Help you through this rough spot you're in."
"How would I do that?"
"Promise to follow my rules. Submit to punishments if you break a rule."
Her breath caught at the words submit and punishment. Her brain revolted but the rest of her body melted further. She'd never known a man like Zach before and she knew she didn't want to let him walk out of her life.
"I… I'm not sure I know how."
His smile lit up his face and made her knees weak. "You don't have to, honey. I’ll teach you. All you have to do is be my good girl."
She collapsed into his arms, wanting nothing more than to be his anything. He cradled her, rocking her as she let fresh tears fall down her cheeks.
Her sore backside rubbed against his rough jeans, reminding her of exactly how her hero liked to deal with naughty girls.
"I'll take it you're ready to listen now."
She was ready for a lot more than listening, but she held her tongue.
"I need your promise, Allison."
She found it hard to even whisper the words. "I promise."
"Promise, what?"
He wasn't making it easier. "To be your good girl." That made him smile.
"And what will happen if you don't take care of yourself and break the rules?"
Oh God, she couldn't say the words. "Please, isn't my promise enough?"
"No. I need to know you are submitting to what will happen if you break the rules again."
There was that word again. Submit. She hated and loved it in equal measure. She closed her eyes, embarrassed by his dominant stare. "You'll spank me."
"Yes, and more. I have many ways to discipline you that don't even involve spanking." The lusty quality of his stare set her heart racing faster.
His hands moved from her hips to her ass, squeezing her punished flesh. In that moment, she knew she'd submit to anything and everything this man wanted to do to her body, as long as he kept looking at her with that look in his eyes.
