His palm connects with my ass with such force that my entire body jerks forward.

"Ten," I snarl, then clamp my lips together. I will not cry out. Will not allow him the satisfaction of finding out how much he’s hurting me and turning me on.No, no, no.I squeeze my thighs together. Curl my fingers into fists and squeeze my eyes as he slaps me again.

"Give in to me, Sparks," he rubs his palm across the burning skin of my arse, "and everything will be okay."

"Nothing will be okay," I grit out through clenched teeth, "and I am not going to—" He presses his lips to the curve of my butt and I shiver. He licks the abraded skin he’d just smacked and a groan spills from my lips. Damn it… The contrast between the pain and this tenderness… It’s too much.

"Arpad," I breathe.

"Hmm." He presses little kisses up the curve of my spine, while he slides his fingers between my legs again. He slides one finger inside of me and I gasp. He adds a second and a third, then begins to work them in and out of me.

I shudder and he pushes aside my hair, then tugs down the T-shirt to kiss the nape of my neck. Goosebumps pop on my skin. Oh, my goodness, how can the touch of his lips on my skin be so…everything? He licks around the shell of my ear, then sucks on my earlobe. My toes curl. I clench down on his fingers and a groan sounds from above me. "You’re so hot, so wet, Sparks."

He presses his lips against the side of my neck, then bites down gently. I buck in his hold and he straightens, then folds his fingers around my nape. I shiver. His grasp is both dominating and soothing...somehow. He slides his hand down, presses his palm to the small of my back, and warmth pools between my legs. He scissors his fingers inside of me, then twists, and I gasp. Tremors begin at my toes then spiral up my legs.

That’s when he pulls his fingers out.

Arpad

Her shoulders bunch, her thighs spasm, the sweet scent of her arousal fills the air, and damn it, but I don’t want to stop. I want to turn her over, bury my face in her pussy and suck on her clit, lick her lower lips and bite on that swollen flesh until she comes all over my face. But… I will not. The hard column between my legs protests. That’s when I know I need to get her off of me, need to put distance between us for a little while… Just until she’s learned her lesson. I lick her cum off my fingers then swing her off my lap to place her in front of me.

Her knees buckle and I hold her until she finds her balance.

"What are you doing?" She gasps as I tug the T-shirt,myT-shirt, down about her knees.

"This looks better on you; you should keep it."

"What?" She gapes as I straighten and brush past her to the stove. I flick on the flame under the skillet.

"Arpad," she snarls, "what the hell are you playing at?"

"Not playing, just teaching you how to behave." I add the vegetables to the skillet, then crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them.

"I’m not a bloody pet," she snaps.

Adorable. I can’t stop the smile that tugs at my lips. "No, you’re more than that." I pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

"You could have fooled me," she mutters.

"Doesn’t mean I don’t need to tame you." I glance over my shoulder.

She folds her arms around her waist, draws herself up to her full height. "I need to call my office and make sure everything is okay."

"It is."

She gapes at me. "How do you know? Did you—" she pauses, scans my face. "You didn’t." Her cheeks redden. "You did not get in touch with my team and tell them where I am."

"Someone had to do it, so they wouldn’t get alarmed, considering you were," I look her up and down, "otherwise occupied." I smirk.

Her cheeks grow fiery, then she curls her fingers into fists. "So help me, Arpad, if you messed with my company and my employees—"

"Relax, Sparks," I drawl, "I had Edward pass on the message to your second in command that you were taking a few days off and couldn’t be reached."

"Right." Her shoulders sag, then she tosses her head. "I’m never not reachable." She sniffs.

"You need some time off. Isn’t too much stress a deterrent to conceiving?"
