Page 55 of Wild and Bright

When she whimpers, my heart seizes with panic. “Shit! Did I hurt you?”

She curls forward and grabs my shirt, yanking me in her direction. “Absolutely not.” Her eyes are wild. “I loved it. Do it again.”

I exhale, shutting my eyes. “I’m sorry. I’ve never done…this kind of stuff before.”

“I can tell.” I hear a smile in her voice.

“I’m going to have to get used to it.”

“Oh, honey, it shouldn’t take you long at all. You were born a dom.”

When I take in the look on her face, I realize in an instant she really means it. “You think so?”

“Absolutely. It’s pretty much what you do all the time. You boss everyone around, and they’re all so afraid of you, they do exactly what you say. God, I could see it all over their faces tonight. Jeff looked like he was going to have a heart attack when you told him you weren’t coming out on stage. Even Hunter is terrified of you.”

I lift a hand to halt her, my cheeks warming. “Alright, I got it. No need to go on and on about it.”

A slow smile spreads across her face. “Maybe you should punish me for sassing you.”

My dick twitches. I could get used to this. Just before I raise my hand again, a realization dawns that nearly knocks me off my feet.

For the first time in my life, I have what I’ve always wanted.

This is what I wanted from her. Even as I told myself I couldn’t stand her, I secretly loved her wildness. Even when I told myself I wished she’d change, I didn’t really. Because I wanted it to be like this. I wanted us to be at odds and in harmony at once. I wanted her to taunt me. I wanted to taunt her back. I wanted to chase and grab her and kiss her and…

Love her.

“What’s wrong?”

Her question jerks my attention into the present. She’s looking up at me expectantly, and I can’t let her see what I’m feeling.

“Nothing.” I lower my chin, narrowing my eyes at her. “Turn over. I need better access to your ass. You said I can bite you, right?”

“Yes,” she answers, breathless.

I nod once before gripping her hips and roughly tossing her onto her belly. She releases a high-pitched giggle. “Oh, Cam, I told you, didn’t I? You were born for this.”

A smile tugs at my lips as I stare down at those white cheeks, tan around the edges. She has a beautiful ass. Plump and round and jiggly when she makes even the slightest movement. I raise my hand high in the air and hold it there for a moment. As expected, the muscles in her ass clench, and the sight of goes straight to my dick.

“Oh my God,” she says, “you’re killing me.”

My smile widens, but I don’t give in. Not yet. I want to enjoy this. When I finally bring my hand down across her ass, the sound is so loud and crisp, it startles me. My eyes roam her plump cheek, and as expected, a pink handprint starts to form. I can’t help but panic yet again, but I force myself to wait for her reaction.

“Holy shit.”

“That wasn’t too hard, was it?”

She flips over and props herself up with her elbows, glaring at me. “Stop fucking apologizing. Seriously. If you’re going to be a dom, be a fucking dom. It’s an instant turn off when you spank me like that and then act like a little bitch afterward.”

My lips part. “Did you just call me a little bitch?”

She bites her bottom lip. “I said you were acting like a little bitch.”

I want to smile, but with effort, I keep my face blank. I hold her stare for what feels like an eternity. With each passing second, I sense her apprehension grow. Without warning, I jerk forward and grab her by the hips.

“I take it back!” she squeals as I flip her over.

I yank her body to the edge of the bed. “You can’t take it back.”
