“If you don’t come out of your hidey-hole to me in the next minute, I will come get you, and then I’ll blister your ass.” He tried to calm his racing heart when he heard her move the piece of wood she made to hide behind and start to crawl out to him.

He exhaled. “That’s good.” He scowled when she stopped and leaned her forehead against the closet doorjamb like she was hiding her face. “Closer.”

She shook her head. “I can’t.”

“Why not, Sweetheart?”

“Because I can’t look at you, and I don’t want you to see me,” she murmured.

His heart hurt for the pain in her tone. “Why, Baby?”

“I just can’t. Please leave me alone.”

“I can’t do that,” he said.

“Just for a little bit,” she whined.

Sebastian shook his head. “No. We’ll settle this now. The longer we wait, the harder it will be for you.” It was killing him to see her so wounded and in distress and not be able to touch her.

Chapter Eighteen

God, why couldn’t he just leave her alone? She hated herself for showing him her secret place when they had moved her into his apartment. Now, there was nowhere she could hide from him.

Sage felt the tears running down her face and neck and saturating the top of her already wet t-shirt. She tried several times to stop crying, but she couldn’t.

“Please!” she yelled.

“It’s not going to happen.”

She heard him sigh.

“I know you heard me talking to Cason.”

“I don’t want to talk about it!” she screamed.

“Well, too bad. This is poison for both of us and our relationship, and I’ll fight with everything I’ve got to keep you with me.”

Sage couldn’t hold back the sob that burst from her throat.

“That’s it,” he said. He stood and walked to her. He lifted her in his arms, easily holding her as she fought to get loose.

“No, no, no,” she chanted when he walked to their place and locked the door behind them.

“Enough,” he growled, but she didn’t listen.

Sebastian took her into the bedroom and stripped her pants and panties off before laying her over his lap.

It made her angry how easily he could handle her even when she was out of control. She felt the heat of his hand on her ass.

“Sweetheart. You get a choice. You either get spanked, or I call Alex to come and sedate you. Which is it?”

The thought of being unconscious scared her. Oh, she knew Sebastian would never hurt her or allow anyone else to, but she’d be unable to express herself if she was asleep.

She continued to squirm to get away from him. “I don’t want the doctor here.”

“So be it.”

She gasped when his hand came down on her ass over and over. At first, she fought him.
