“And this morning, when you kept insisting you only had one drink, you knew that wasn’t exactly the truth.”
The knot in her tummy tightened with every word. “I guess.”
“So you lied to your Daddy.”
Too miserable to speak, she nodded.
“Are disobedience and lying allowed in this house, Olivia Jane?”
“N-no, Daddy.”
“No. And because it is not allowed, you are going over my knee for a very long, very hard spanking with your brush on your bare bottom. I plan on making sitting comfortably a far distant memory for you by the time I am done. This is not a lesson I ever want to repeat again, little girl. Am I understood?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Good.” Leaning back in the chair, he crossed his arms over his chest, his expression somehow turning even more stern and serious than before. “Now, let’s talk about this morning.”
God, she just wanted this part over with so she could get her ass blistered. She craved the safe, loved feeling she knew would come when he finally took her in his arms and forgave her. “Do we have to? I screwed up. We fought. End of story.”
“Hardly. I spent an hour on the phone with Mr. Jackson this morning, unruffling his feathers. Do you have any idea how much I wanted to reach through the phone and strangle that pompous ass?”
Her mouth fell open, and she knew her eyes were wide as saucers. “You did?”
“Yes. I’m not unsympathetic to what you’ve gone through. But, Olivia, we can’t risk this kind of reputation. You’ve built an entire career around being a kind, thoughtful, caring agent. You nearly unraveled years of hard work with one careless email. Not to mention the possible damage to the firm when he tells all his friends what happened.”
“I know, I’m sorry. But it was an honest mistake!”
James raised an eyebrow, and she knew her argument was going to get her nowhere. “And would you have made that mistake if you hadn’t been sick and miserable this morning?”
Dropping her gaze to the floor, she shrugged. “I might have. I don’t know.”
“You might have. But you’ve never so much as dropped a ‘damn’ into an email at work. The entire email, and your carelessness, were all very unlike you. Wouldn’t you agree?”
“I guess,” she mumbled, unsure of why she was being so stubborn about this particular point. For some reason, it made her feel even more like a naughty little brat to admit she’d been in a shitty mood because she’d disobeyed her Daddy.
“Well, I know it was very unlike you, and we’ve already discussed why you were in such a foul mood this morning. Since I’ll be taking over the Jackson account—commission free, mind you—and they’ve already proven to be such a pain in my ass, I think it’s only fair for me to be a pain in yours.”
Something in his voice had her antennae quivering. “Another spanking?”
“Oh, no, little one. After I’ve turned your bottom nice and red, I’m going to fuck your tight little asshole, and I’m going to give you something to think about the next time you’re tempted to be anything less than an absolute professional at work.”
Chapter15
Olivia’s stomach dropped and she stared at her husband. Her Daddy, who’d just told her he was going to punish her bottom inside and out. They’d discussed him fucking her bottom as punishment plenty of times, but this was the first time he’d actually played that particular card.
“But—you can’t!” The words burst out of her before she could stop them.
“Excuse me?”
A shiver ran down her spine at the icy tone of his voice. “I-I just mean, I don’t want you to. Please, Daddy, anything but that.”
“I’m sure you don’t want me to. But you don’t have a say in the matter.”
She blinked rapidly against a fresh wave of tears. “Will it hurt?”
“Yes. A lot.” His expression softened, just a fraction. “But you know I’d never harm you, right?”
Swallowing hard, she nodded.
