Page 75 of Lust

I push open the door, and there he stands with his back to me. He looks so big and intimidating.

I love it.

“Well.” My voice is breathy. “What did you need to…talkto me about?”

He turns around, and his dark gaze is so intense my legs turn into jelly. “We’re not going to do much talking.”

I smile. “We’re not?”

“I wouldn’t be smiling, Mariana. You’ve been a bad, bad girl.”

Heat shoots into my groin. “Have I?”

“Yes.”

After shutting the door, I step toward him, and his tall form looms over me, and that fire in his eyes sends shivers through my body. “What are you going to do to me?”

He takes my hand and leads me to the bed. “Punish you, of course.”

My heart pounds. “Really?”

“Yes. You’ve been begging me to spank you.”

“What did I do?”

After sitting on the bed, he lifts me up and places me on his lap. His big fingers brush over my cleavage. “You’ve been distracting me all day. With this dress.” His eyes narrow on my chest. “Your bra is showing. You pulled it down.”

I nuzzle my head against his shoulder. “Maybe.”

“No.” He grips my waist and pushes me back. “No cuddling. Not yet. Not until you’ve had your punishment.”

“Is it a sin to wear a formfitting dress?”

“Not a sin.” His voice is hushed. “But you disobeyed me.”

“How?”

“I told you I needed to focus on being a pastor today. You’ve been distracting me on purpose.”

I grin. “Have I?”

He hums in agreement. “And not just with this dress. You were shamelessly flirting, too.”

I gasp out a laugh. “Flirting? With Jake, you mean?”

He grabs me by the chin, narrowing his eyes on my face, and heat shoots into my gut. “You know you were.”

Oh my God, is he really jealous? How absurd.

How delightful.

“So that’s why you interrupted us and all but ordered him to leave?”

“He needs to know that he’s not allowed to touch what’s mine.” He lifts me in the air and sets my belly on his thighs. As he presses his hand on my lower back, the ache between my legs intensifies, and I groan.

“Don’t move,” he growls.

“Oh God.”
