Now, he’s made my well-being his concern.
And I’m supposed to put his at risk.
His hand keeps stroking, the heat from his spanking making me dizzy. “Good girl,” he whispers more softly this time. His praise sends pleasure through me.
Shame and desire are so closely linked I can’t tell them apart. I don’t know where one ends and the other begins. My body feels like every nerve is focused on him.I almost confess right here over his lap.
But the sting of another spank cuts me off.
By the time his hand finally slows, I’m undone. A tear slips free. His palm lingers, stroking the sting he left behind, his touch painfully tender against the fire he’s just ignited on my skin.
“You did so well.” His breath warms the shell of my ear, dark silk wrapping around me. Then he’s pulling me up, settling me on his lap, and he’s wrapped around me like that bear hug from the first night when he kissed me. “What are you feeling?”
I brush away a tear. “Truth? I thought that game was over.”
“Overwhelmed?” He studies my face so intently that I have to look away.
He scoops my chin, drawing back my face to his.
I give a tight smile, admitting the strange truth, “A release. One I needed.”
“You took your lesson like a good girl. And good girls deserve to be rewarded.”
My chest tightens. “Rewarded?” I whisper naively.
His fingers slide down, trailing inside my thigh. His voice deepens, edged with steel. “I’m going to put my mouth between your thighs and taste how wet you are for me. Because you are wet, aren’t you?”
Heat floods my cheeks. I want to deny it, but the ache between my thighs pulses with every word. He tests his theory by rubbing the gusset of my panties.
I moan loudly, my head falling back.
He chuckles low, almost cruelly. “You tried to hide it, but your body doesn’t lie. You loved every second of me punishing you. Now you’ll love my tongue even more.”
Before I can protest, he shifts me, guiding me onto my back across the sofa. My dress rides up higher, settling around my hips. His hands slide my thighs apart.
“Look at you,” he growls, eyes locked on my scantily clad body. “Soaked from being spanked. From obeying me. You love it, don’t you, good girl?” His thumbs hook into the lace at my hips, tugging the thong down and tossing it away.
I squeeze my eyes shut, shame prickling. But then his hands grip my knees, spreading me wider, forcing me to surrender.
I’ve never felt cool air on me like this before and never had someone study me so closely. It feels too intimate, too intense. A horrible dread and surge of excitement rush through me as he looks up at me from between my legs.
“Eyes on me, Erin.” I want to groan and hide my face in my arm, but his command leaves no room for escape. “I’ll make you remember to care for yourself. You’ll feel me here, kissing, licking, owning you.”
All I can do is try to breathe.
He flashes a wicked grin at me. “Has anyone ever done this to you before?”
“No. You’ll be the first.”
He gives a low moan, my admission clearly turning him on, and I’m rewarded for my gift by his mouth suddenly on me—hot, wet, relentless. My gasp shatters into a cry as his tongue flicks, licks, and claims. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt in my life.
“Good girl,” he hums against me, savoring me, each word vibrating into my core. “You take it so well.” Shame twists with need, spiraling tightly until I can’t tell them apart. My hips arch helplessly, chasing his mouth, and he praises me for my greed. “That’s it. Give in. Show me how much you love being mine.”
All I can do is drown in the sinful pleasure of his tongue, the filthy words, and the terrifying truth—I feel like I’m going to explode. The building climax feels like I’m going to pee and sneeze at the same time. Or implode. It comes for me fast, hard, and biting.
With my fingernails digging into his shoulders, I scream his name. “Lucian! Lucian!” He laughs against me, pushing me over the edge, and I cry out, “Oh god!”
When I can’t take any more, he pulls back, watching me closely as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. I collapse against the bed, weak and trembling.
