He swept his tongue inside, dominating mine as his actions became rougher, unforgiving. There was no chance of breaking free of his hold, his demands all encompassing. He wanted me to release what was left of my inhibitions, surrendering to him in a way that would leave me incapable of hungering for anyone else. As the ache continued to increase, my nipples swollen, I lost myself in his domination.
When he finally eased away, his breathing as ragged as mine, a sense of foreboding drifted into the back of my mind. We were in a dangerous position, the weakness he’d mentioned a tangible target. Only we both knew without issuing any words or warnings that the danger no longer mattered. I’d fallen hard for the brutal man, accepting that he’d not only captured my body.
He’d taken my heart as well.
“It’s time for your punishment.” His deep voice managed to penetrate my fuzzy brain, the sweeping gaze of lust shifting into a follow through of command, a need to fulfill his duties. I’d challenged him in front of one of his men, accepting blame for an infraction.
Now I was required to pay the price.
CHAPTER11
Kostya
A dull ache remained in my heart, a nagging that continued to fester. It was safe to say that while I’d managed to corrupt her innocence, she’d found a method of digging through the thick coat of armor, grasping onto a portion of me that should never have been allowed. But at this point it was too late for… regrets. I almost laughed at the thought. She believed me to be incapable of feelings when I’d learned a long time ago to ignore them.
But with her, everything was fresh, new, and the thick black coating surrounding my heart had already begun to suffer.
I took her by the hand, leading her back to the house. She’d defied me far too many times, most of which I’d allowed given the circumstances, but her blatant disregard for rules, her steadfast rebellion in front of one of my men was completely unacceptable. If I allowed the act to go without punishment, the subtle yet powerful disregard for my rules would begin to crawl its way into the ranks. That I couldn’t tolerate.
I’d ruled on the requirement of respect for years, refusing to accept any infraction. While I was known to be generous, my wrath meant any act against my regime was met with consistent discipline. That had allowed my empire to thrive. There was no doubt that Enrique had talked, telling the men that she held a power over me. Just as quickly the staff members of my household would relay overhearing her extreme punishment.
By all rights, I should spank her in front of the soldiers, but I refused to allow a single man to ever bask in her nakedness or her beauty. Any man who dared disrespect her would face a wrath they would never recover from. However, she would need to learn that any additional infraction would be handled differently.
I pulled her through the front door and past three employees. They all watched silently, their innate knowledge of my actions creating a tangible forcefield. They would listen at the door, shocked that I’d go to any extremes with the woman I obviously cared about, an anomaly in itself. Once inside my office, I closed the door then released her hand. There was such fire in Emily’s eyes, a persistent need to show me how brave and tough she was. I’d felt her fear more than once, her utter vulnerability that attracted me almost as much as her luscious body.
This afternoon was no different. She was a delightful combination of defiance and uncertainty. I’d professed how much I’d cared about her, yet I would be relentless in performing the necessary punishment. She was trying desperately to crawl inside, peeling away every layer.
“What are you going to do?” she dared to ask as if she didn’t already know.
“Remove your clothes.”
“That didn’t answer the question.”
I allowed my answer to be immediately reaching for my belt, my eyes never leaving her as I unbuckled slowly.
She chewed on her lower lip, a trait I found adorable, backing away a few inches. Her tension was evident by her shaking hands, the slight twitch I’d seen on the corner of her mouth, but she remained quiet, reaching for one strap on her dress. The moment I’d seen her walking toward me at the pool, it had taken everything I had not to indulge in feasting on her sweet pussy. I continued to be crazed with need, but I managed to shove aside my desires for now. There would be time to indulge in my proclivities.
I took as much time unfastening my belt as she did removing her dress, both determined to keep some level of control. It was fascinating to watch, especially the various emotions on her face. As I pulled the thick leather from my beltloops, I thought about what she’d admitted about her father. If what she told me was true, it was possible she was unaware of the location of whatever information Jonathan had compiled. It was also probable that the note he’d left her provided some indication.
A plan would need to be made, but only after determining what Ovachov wanted and was privy to knowing about me. My gut continued to send up several red flags. I would need to be careful in the choices I made.
Emily finally allowed the dress to fall to the floor, her expression of insolence fueling the fire burning deep within. I snapped the belt between my hands, pulling the strap under my nose and inhaling the rich scent of leather. She studied every move I made, swallowing hard as she slipped her fingers under the delicate lace of her panties. I almost lurched forward, dropping to my knees and ripping the material away with my teeth.
Jesus. My throat was parched and the only thing that could quench my thirst was her sweet juice.
When she was finally completely naked, I took a deep breath before walking around her in a complete circle. “You defied me.”
“Yes.”
“You disparaged me in front of one of my men.”
“Yes. And I would do so again.”
“No, you will not. You can verbally disagree with my rules and how I handle business when we’re in private, but you will never disrespect me again in front of my employees. Is that clear?”
She shifted her head to the side, nodding. I pressed my index finger under her chin, lifting her head.
“I asked you a question. Is that clear?”
