The hit never lands.

Noel growls, catching my wrist and shoving it back above my head. When I lash out with the other, he grunts, doing the same to that one as my breath catches.

My pulse thuds in my ears. Our eyes lock, his sizzling with golden fire that sets me ablaze. And then suddenly, my brain just acts on an impulse without even remotely weighing the consequences.

I spit in his face.

The room—the wholeworld—goes quiet. Noel’s mouth thins, and then curls into a sneer as my face goes white.

“I—I didn’t mean—”

I choke on a gasp as he suddenly grips my wrists tighter and flips me over face-down on the bed. My pulse surges, my heart climbing into my throat as I feel his weight shift. He grabs the sheet that’s barely covering me, and I gasp as he yanks it away from me, baring my backside to his gaze.

“Noel—!”

Heat melts over the tender skin of my ass as his palm connects with it. He does it again to the other cheek, and I bury my face in the sheets as I moan.

Imoan.

I hear him grunt as he spanks my ass twice more before he stops. I swallow, my face bright red as I bury it in the mattress, unable to turn to face him.

“Moving forward,” he growls, making me shiver as he leans over me, his lips by my burning ear.

“We will be fixing the damage you’ve done,again, together. My way.”

I swallow.

“Nod if you understand.”

I do, eagerly.

“Good girl.”

My core throbs with heat.

“And if you thought I owned you before…”

I yelp and then immediately bite my lip to stop the whimper as he spanks me once more.

His weight lifts from the bed.

“Take the day to rest more if you need,” he growls. “Tonight, we’re going to a gala.”

My brows knit.

What?

“I’ll have your gown laid out for you later. Which you’ll wear, without making a scene. Is that clear?”

I swallow, nodding again into the mattress, my bare, reddened ass openly on display for him as my legs squeeze together.

“Good girl.”

I gasp at the feel of his lips brushing my ear. Then, I hear him turn, and his footsteps crossing the room before the door opens and closes.

Leaving me reeling.

Leaving me twisted up.

Leaving mewetand aching for more.
