Giving him a soft smile, I move towards the bed. Once I’m on my hands and knees facing the headboard, I hear Ronan shuffle around the room. I listen to him opening drawer after drawer of my dresser, clearly looking for something. “Ronan, what are you—”
A drawer slams, and I flinch, not out of fear but in anticipation. “This will be your one warning, Harper. Do not speak unless I tell you.”
“Do not speak unless I tell you,” I mockingly mouth, still facing away from him.
A second later, his hand strikes my ass, and I let out a yell. “Just because I can’t see you doesn’t mean I don’t know exactly what you just did. You just earned yourself another one, Baby.”
I crane my head to look back at him, silently asking him what exactly I’ve earned another one of when I see what’s in his hand. My eyes practically bulge out of my head when I see my bright pink rabbit vibrator firmly gripped in Ronan’s tattooed hand. My eyes shoot back up to his face, “If you’re about to ask how I knew you had this, we all know the kind of books you like to read, and these walls are very thin.”
My mouth gapes. “Keep that mouth open like that, and I’ll put it to good use.”
On reflex, I instantly snap my mouth shut, and he laughs. “That’s fine. We have your punishment to work out first anyway.”
Ronan hits a button, and the vibrator comes to life in his hand. After running through all the settings, he settles on the constant vibration on the highest setting. Internally, I preen, knowing that’s my favorite one. “Face forward, Harper.”
I do as he says.
I wait anxiously for whatever my “punishment” might be. However, I’ll be mildly disappointed if it’s nothing but a quick round of spankings. Not that I would ever say that to him, though. Just as that thought enters my head, I feel the tip of the vibrator against my shoulder blade. The buzz of my favorite toy sends a harsh shiver through my entire body while Ronan’s opposite hand plays with the string of my thong.
After letting the vibrator buzz against my shoulder blade for a moment, he turns it off and lifts it from my skin. I let out a heavy breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. After a few seconds he turns it back on and places it on the middle of my lower back, right above where the black lace rests. “Do you know what your punishment is going to be?”
I shake my head. “No, sir.”
“You’re going to come for me.” The vibrator gets lifted from my skin again, and my body tenses. Waiting to see where he’s going to place it next. “You’re going to come for teasing me tonight on that dance floor.” Reaching around, he puts it directly on my nipple, and I shout. “For coming apart where anyone could have seen you.” The buzzing is gone again, and I fist the sheets, growing more and more turned on by the second. “Then you’re going to come for every day you were away from me.”
I whip my head toward him. He cracks his palm against my ass once again. “I didn’t tell you to turn around, Harper.”
I face the headboard again as he slowly runs the head of the pink toy along the inside of my thigh. He plants a soft kiss on what, I’m sure, is my very red skin. The tender kiss is a stark contrast to the harshness in his words. Just as the vibrations are about to meet where I want them most, he pulls away again, and I whine. “You’ll come for every day I couldn’t touch you. Every day I wasn’t able to kiss you. Every day I wasn’t able to be inside of you. Every day I woke up and didn’t get to see those pools of green.”
Reaching around, he drags the head of the toy down my stomach. “For every day I woke absolutely terrified that you might be dead.” Tears pool in my eyes. Clearly, this is about so much more than my disobedience on the dance floor. Just like I know what happened wasn’t his fault, he knows it wasn’t mine. He’s not punishing me because he thinks I willingly ran away from him. I’m honestly not sure this is really a punishment at all.
This is a way for him to regain control over a situation he had no control over.
He needs to punish me more than I need to be punished. If this is what he needs to understand that I never want to leave him again, then I want to give this to him.
I’ll give him anything.
His grip on my thong tightens. “You’ll come for me, Baby. Over and over again. You’ll come for me until it takes your breath away. Because that’s what you did to me.” Finally, fucking finally, he presses the vibrator against my sensitive clit, and I immediately come. His body leans forward so it’s pressed against my shaking form, and I feel his lips against my ear. “That’s what you did to me when you left me. Every night, I would dream of you, and when I woke up, you were still gone.” Ronan’s voice is nothing more than a deep growl. He pushes the vibrator harder against my clit. “You were gone. And every day, my world would crash around me. I walked through every minute of every day, feeling like I couldn’t breathe. And for that,” he releases my thong and wraps his hand around my jaw, forcing my face to his. “You must be punished.”
His eyes never leave mine as he bites my shoulder, and the blissful pain causes me to fall apart beneath him again.
“Ronan!”
“That’s it, Baby. Scream my name. Let the whole fucking world know you belong to me.”
My arms give out from under me as I continue to shake violently beneath my beast of a man. A man who would quite literally kill or be killed to make sure I’m safe. A man who loves me with every fiber of his being. A man who has built wall after wall to become the most feared man in the city. A man who would gladly knock down every single one of those walls if it means he gets to keep me.
With my ass still in the air and Ronan’s body still folded over mine, my body begins to settle. Ronan pulls the vibrator away from my throbbing clit and licks the bite mark on my shoulder. I just know he broke skin again.
Fucking vampire.
He smiles against my shoulder. “That’s two down. Thirteen more to go.”
Oh, shit.
