Page 40 of Relentless Pursuit

“That may be so, but I need to make sure you understand who’s in charge.” He tightened his hold on her hair. “When I deliver a punishment, it’s swift. I won’t do it out of anger, and I will never give you more than you can handle. Can you trust me to do that?”

She nodded.

“I’m going to take you across my knee.”

“Spank me?”

“Yes,” he confirmed. “Spanking can be highly erotic for both the giver and the receiver. I have ways to make a good spanking very sensual for you. Tonight won’t be one of those times. When I’m done spanking you, I’m going to fuck you.” Her breathing became more erratic with each word he spoke. “Hard.”

She squirmed under his hold.

“It will be about my pleasure tonight. I’ll take you fast, with no regard for your release. Do you understand?”

“Yes.” Her lips trembled, and disappointment filled her eyes. He wondered if she was disappointed that she had let him down or that she wouldn’t be climaxing.

“Come to me.” He extended his hand. “Across my lap.” He tugged her up and tossed her over his knees. “I’m going to strike you five times. You will not vocalize. There’s no need to alert anyone on the other side of the door as to what we’re doing in here.”

He continued to watch her, setting his palm on her back to gauge her breathing and make sure she was okay with what they were doing. She didn’t appear rattled. She was still and quiet.

“Give me a color.” Part of him wanted her to say red. He’d skip the spanking and move right to the fucking. That would probably be enough punishment for one night.

“Green,” she said. “I’m still at green.”

Brave girl.

“Very well.” He yanked her dress over her hips, exposing her black thong. “Coming into my club, when you know you shouldn’t, wearing a thong? Did you honestly think that was a good idea?” He lifted his hand and smacked it across her creamy, white cheeks. His cock hardened when his hand connected with her flesh.

“Oh!” she squealed.

“You’re not vocalizing, remember?” He brought his hand across her ass again, the sting on his palm more prominent than the first time.

“Sorry,” she whispered.

“Did you think I wouldn’t find out you were here?” Another swift slap. “It may have been a coincidence that I bumped into you getting off that elevator, but this is my territory. I would have found out.” He struck her a fourth time, not as harsh, smoothing his hand over her reddening cheeks. “Can you handle one more?”

“Yes,” she moaned. “Please...”

Striking her one last time, he rested his hand on her backside. “Stand up and face the windows. We’re going to make use of that view you find so irresistible.”

She moved off his lap and scrambled to get to the windows.

“Now you’re learning to obey me.” He stood behind her, much like the last time they were in this room, but this time she was his, and he planned to show her what that meant.

“Leave your hands here.” He took her wrists and pressed her palms to the cool glass. “Don’t move.” Lifting up her dress, he rested the skirt on her hips. “We’re too high up for anyone to see what we’re doing. The windows are tinted, so the building across from us can’t see in either.”

He hooked his thumbs in her thong and tugged it down her legs, leaving it wrapped around her ankles. Taking a step back, he took in her stance.Beautiful.When he inched closer, she inhaled a sharp breath. Unbuckling his belt, he dropped his pants and boxers to his feet.

As he gripped her waist in his hands, he lowered his lips to her ear. “This is going to be quick.”

“Okay,” she whispered.

“This is part of your punishment.” He took his cock in his hand and positioned it at her slick entrance. “The spanking was a warm-up.” He thrust inside her, pressing her into the window. “You’re here for my pleasure, and mine only.”

Her fingers scratched down the glass as she slumped forward, accepting what he gave her, taking her punishment quietly as he worked his lower body fast and hard. He cleared his mind, focusing on the warmth of her sex, indulging in the wet arousal he’d created.

The last few days hadn’t been easy. The witness was difficult and wouldn’t cooperate as Julian had hoped. He’d have to figure out how to change that particular situation. But he didn’t have any control over what happened in Dallas. He did have control over what was occurring right now. While he wasn’t pleased Kayla had disobeyed him, she was exactly what he needed tonight. As he pounded into her, all the stress left his system. His only concern was now slowly submitting to him.

“If those people down on the street could see us now, would they know how much you crave my cock buried deep inside you?”
