I swerve off the main road into the side street that leads to her small house.
“Piper’s?” repeats Dane uncertainly.
“Oh, tonight’s gonna slap,” chuckles Liam. “I can always tell when you’re like that. You’re about to give her a night to remember. Poor Piper.”
I get out of the car, clenching my fists to keep from trembling.
“I’ll get her,” I mutter, tossing the keys to Liam. “You drive.”
“Where are we going?”
I shrug, fit the mask onto my face, and say the first place thatcomes to mind. “The lake.”
I only choose Astley Lake because it’s on the other side of town, and I’m going to need all of that ride at least to figure out what the hell to do with her.
“Hey, I know what’ll get her out of the house,” laughs Liam.
He throws a few paper balls onto the stretch of grass that separates her place from the road. Firecrackers, I realize, as they explode loudly.
Moments later, the door opens, and Piper’s sleepy face pops out.
Before she can even open her mouth to speak, I fist her hair with my hand and drag her outside.
“What… what the hell?” she wheezes.
I don’t stop dragging her hair until I’ve opened the back door of the car, pushing her down onto the floor. Then, at a glance from me, Liam turns on the engine and drives away.
“What the hell? You’re kidnapping me!”
Piper struggles to get up, but I push her right back down with both my hands. Not so fast that she doesn’t manage to catch sight of me and recognize me despite the mask.
“Quill! Stop the car now! Let me out! What are you even do—”
Clicking my tongue with impatience, I clap a hand over her mouth, then drag her over my lap.
Ever since I’ve had her like this over my motorcycle, I’ve been dreaming of it. Dreaming of her absolute helplessness as I keep her in this humiliating position, dreaming of her ass wriggling in my face as she tries to free herself, dreaming of my hand, coming down to…
“You should spank her,” laughs Liam. “That’ll teach her a lesson.”
Fuck. I could murder him right now. I could murder both him and Dane, for inviting themselves along. There’s no way I’m doing any of the dirty things that are on my mind with themaround.
“Mmmmppphhh!” protests Piper against my hand.
I guess she has a very clear recollection of the punishment she was on the receiving end of the other day, and she probably doesn’t want to experience it again. Especially in front of Liam and Dane.
Even though their presence pisses me off, I’m kind of enjoying how her humiliation must be heightened by the addition of these two spectators. I can tell she’s absolutely mortified, and some dark part of me enjoys it.
But, fuck. She deserves it. Honestly, she deserves a whole lot worse, with the way she’s been putting herself in danger lately.
The minute we arrive at the lake, which is deserted because everyone is busy trick-or-treating on Main Street, I grab her and throw her over my shoulder.
“Hey!” squeaks out Piper. “Put me down! You have no right to—”
Smack.
I can’t resist giving her one hard spank to shut her up, and she starts to squirm desperately, trying to land kicks on me. It’s a good thing I’ve got her pinned down so tightly she can’t move much, because I’m not sure I’d be able to control myself if she actually managed to hit me.
“What are you going to do? Where are you taking me?”
