CHAPTER4

Ava

“Do you feel better now, Ava?” he asked quietly.

“Yes. I do,” I answered.

“Good,” he replied simply. He kissed my forehead again. “Stand up for me now.”

My stomach pitched forward with an anxious surge. I chewed my lip, questioning my sanity even as my clit throbbed to life once again. I didn’t move right away. The memory of the belt lying on the table eventually crossed my mind though and I unfurled myself from his arms. I climbed off the bed and stood by it as he pushed himself to a seated position in front of me.

We were both still naked and I blushed at the sight of his cock hardening right in front of me. My aching pussy clenched firmly.

“You lied to me several times, didn’t you, Ava?” he began. His blue eyes had turned icy, and I couldn’t help but fidget from one foot to the other.

“Yes,” I murmured guiltily.

“You had a number of chances to come clean with me,” he continued, and I couldn’t bear the sight of his firm disapproving gaze any longer.

“Yes.” I stared down at the floor.

“Have I given you any indication you wouldn’t be safe with me? That you couldn’t trust in my protection?” he pressed.

“No.” I chewed my lip.

“The men that are hunting you won’t find you, Ava. Do you know why?” he replied.

“I’m not sure,” I whispered.

“Because the moment you walked through my door, you were mine. I protect what’s mine and what’s about to happen will make sure you never forget that,” he said boldly, and I gasped as a scalding heat surged through me.

“Cyrus… I…” I started, wanting to explain myself further, and he shook his head.

“It’s time, my bad girl,” he said firmly, and he grasped my wrist. He pulled me forward over his knees. His rock-hard cock pressed against my side.

I blushed heavily, realizing the picture the two of us must make. We were both completely naked. I was suddenly exceedingly aware of every inch of my body, especially the vulnerable expanse of my bare backside.

“Your ass is so especially pretty when you’re like this,” he observed pointedly, and I whined noisily before I hid my face in the blanket beneath me. “It’s not even pink anymore.”

“Please, you don’t have to spank me,” I tried, suddenly finding some sense of self-preservation from somewhere inside me. My ass clenched knowingly, already familiar with the terrible sting from the hand that was currently settled on top of it.

“I do. You need to know what will happen if you ever lie to me again, Ava. This will be both a punishment and a warning,” he replied.

“Cyrus,” I replied shakily.

“I’m going to turn your beautiful bottom bright red so that every time you sit down today, you remember what happens when my bad girl lies to me.”

His hand gently patted my backside.

I tucked my arms beneath my chest, whining under my breath as I waited for the punishment to begin. Every inch of my skin was electrified with anticipation waiting for the moment my spanking would begin and hoping for it to end all the same. My nipples hardened against the surface of the bed and when I pressed my thighs together, I was ashamed to find that they were slick with arousal.

What the hell was wrong with me?

He squeezed my left cheek and then the right so firmly that it hurt. I gasped, but that didn’t give him pause. I squirmed over his lap, trying to escape and egg him on at the same time.

The first slap took my breath away. The second one stole every bit of air from the room. I cried out in shock, completely taken aback by the increase in intensity from the spanking over his shirt this morning and what was happening now. His palm seemed to have transformed into a thick slab of wood.

It stung so much more than I expected.
