“You can stop at any time, Red. But trust me or not, you’re gonna enjoy this.” I pull my belt from the loops, and her eyes grow wide.

“Umm... Sawyer?” she whispers with a smile growing on her face. “Am I going to need a safe word?”

WREN

My skin buzzes with excitement, and I lean back on my arms, waiting for Sawyer to answer me.

I can’t believe I’m doing this.

Guilt tugs at me, but I ignore it.

There’s a time and a place. And right now, all I want to focus on is what feels good.

I really can’t believe he spanked me.

I seriously can’t believe I liked it.

But oh my God, I definitely liked it.

He told me torun. Did he really want me to?

“Red.” His voice is deep and rumbly and commanding.

I bite down hard on my lip and try to focus.

“Have you ever had a safe word before?”

Shit. Right. I asked him a question.

What was my question? What washisquestion?

My head spins, but it’s in such a good way. My blood feels warm coursing through me, and my mouth waters. This man looks incredible. Better than he did the last time I saw him naked. The tattoos are a new addition, and they highlight his beautifully sculpted swimmer’s body perfectly. He’s all lean strength and confidence. I hate that it’s so sexy and love that I’m so turned-on.

But wait... his question.My question. A safe word.

“No,” I answer hesitantly. “I’ve never had a safe word.”

“Do you want one?” Sawyer asks, still standing in his unbuttoned jeans with his chest on display. How the hell does he expect me to think straight like this?

I’ve studied the human anatomy. I can name all the muscles, ligaments, and bones. But they never looked like him. “I think I’d like to see if I like having a need for one.”

His predatory smile grows, and I almost wish I didn’t like it. But screw that. If I’m going to have fun. I want to have all the fun I can, without the drama that goes with being in a relationship.

“Get on your hands and knees, Red.” Even the rasp in his voice is sexy. Ugh. I do not like this man.

“Why?” I ask before thinking better of it. Hmm... or maybe I just want to see how he punishes me.

“Because I told you to. That’s the rule.” He snaps his belt, and a shiver runs down my spine. “Knees. Now.”

Oh. Shit.

I turn over onto my hands and knees and look over my shoulder, then shiver at the glint in his navy-blue eyes.

Sawyer drags the leather belt along my bare skin, and my nipples pucker behind the lace of my bra. “Pick a safe word, Red. Something you’ll remember. Something you feel comfortable saying. And something you won’t confuse or say without meaning it.”

“Dandelion,” I tell him without overthinking.

“The flower?” Sawyer growls and waits for my nod. He rolls his lips over his teeth and sucks in a breath when I give it to him. “Okay. Dandelion it is.”
