He smiled back at me, pleased with my agreement. “Then we shall begin your punishment.”

“Yes, Master.”

Chapter Seventeen

DAMON

I was getting hard just thinking about Kara’s punishments. Only this time I was leaving red hand prints on her ass. I’d already spanked her less than an hour ago and now I was spanking her again. Her cheeks were turning red because I wasn’t going easy on her.

“Why am I spanking my Dove?” I questioned.

“Because I was a bad girl, Master.”

“That’s right. But I think you like this. Don’t you?”

“Yes, Master.” Her voice was breathy. “Just breathe, Dove. Don’t hold your breath.”

She did as I instructed. “Let it go, baby,” I instructed as I gave her another smack across the ass. Spanking her was becoming a regular, almost daily thing. But my Dove loved it. Only this time, I would leave her begging for more.

Giving her a few more smacks, I rubbed her ass cheeks to ease the final sting. By now, she was soaking wet. But this was a punishment; not the time for sex.

Once I knew Dove was good, I got off the bed, and handed her a short silk robe. “Come on. Time for your second punishment,” I ordered.

She was hiding her smirk under a curtain of hair while I led us to my office. “You like to be nosy, so we’ll go to my office and you’ll stand in the corner until I say otherwise.”

We entered the room, and I took Dove to one corner by the door. Then I situated her robe so I could see plenty of bare skin and it would be enough to have her soaking wet. Closing the distance between us, I held her gaze. She sucked in a breath as I slowly slid my finger from her neck to the curve of her breasts and down to her bare pussy. She licked her lips.

“You like when I touch you, Dove?”

“Yes, Master.” She could barely form the words.

Stepping back, I pulled out my office chair and got to work by answering some emails.

After about two hours, I decided to let Dove go. “Go on and clean your room. I’m stepping out for a quick meeting. I expect the room to be spotless by the time I get back. Then we can continue your punishment in my office.” I smiled wickedly, knowing I wanted to fuck her on my desk. She’d be rewarded for finally listening to me.

“Yes, Master.”

I walked her back to her room before I went downstairs. I stopped to talk to Susie. “Please serve Kara dinner within the hour. I want her nice and fed by the time I get back.”

“Yes, Master.”

I needed some air. Dove didn’t know how much she really affected me. She made my heart quicken and she made me want something permanent.

With her.

I never thought our situation would be lasting. I never thought she would stay on her own free will. I really still don’t know. But I think she would, given the chance.

Given the choice. Would she choose me? Now she knew for a fact her father was a piece of shit and no one was out in the world waiting for her. I had the world here waiting for her.

The fresh night air calmed me. Taking out my phone, I dialed Matteo while I got in my SUV. My driver was gone for the day, so I sat behind the wheel to go for a drive.

“Hey, boss,” Matteo said into the phone.

“Was it taken care of?” I questioned.

“Yes. Everything is all good.”

“Perfect. At least that will send a message that a war has started.”
