Her mouth opens, and she’s taking the shallowest of breaths. I wonder if she’s aware of the way she’s looking at me.
“Tell me,” I whisper before coming close enough to inhale her scent. As soon as I do, I stop, surprised to find something familiar. Confused, I lean closer and she gasps when the tip of my nose touches the skin of her neck as I breathe in deeply, then draw back.
Madelena’s cheeks burn now, and she can’t hold my gaze. I don’t say it, though. I’m not here to humiliate her. I’m just here to protect what is mine. But what I smell, strangely, is my own brand of cologne. Is it on purpose? How would she know the scent? It’s custom made for me, not one you can buy at the fucking mall.
Then I remember the handkerchief I pushed into her hand the first night we met. I guess the scent of it would have lingered beneath that of blood. Did she research it? Have it custom-made for herself? No. Surely I’m overthinking this.
I clear my throat and wait for her to return her gaze to mine.
“Tell me. How do I punish you?” I ask, voice low and deep and just for her.
“I…”
“Do I take you over my knee? Spank you?”
Her eyes grow huge, pupils dilating as she exhales audibly, then falters. I swear I see her nipples pebble beneath the dress. And, frankly, saying the words out loud makes me feel it deep in my gut too. I’m old enough to control my dick, but I can’t deny that I feel it.
“How old are you now, Madelena?” I ask even though I know.
“Seventeen.”
“Hmm. That’s too bad,” I say, letting my gaze drop once again to the swell of soft breasts. “Too young. But I tell you what.” I brush her hair behind her ear. “I’ll put a pin in it. Make a note to remember what I owe you.”
She swallows so hard I hear it.
“Val, take Madelena home, will you?”
“Sure thing.” Val is my most trusted man.
“By the time you’re back, we’ll be finished here.” I glance at the idiot boy.
“Yes, sir,” he says and gestures to Madelena to go ahead of him.
She glances from me to idiot boy and back. “He didn’t hurt me,” she says, probably aware of what will come once she’s gone.
He would have, I don’t say. “Noted.” I touch a finger to her jaw so she looks at me, not him. “You belong to me. Do you understand that better now?”
She nods, but I’m not sure the message has hit home.
“Say it.”
She tenses her jaw, like the night in her father’s study. She’s defiant. My palm itches to spank her little ass and make sure she feels the truth of that statement, but like I said, she’s too young for me to be doing that just yet.
“Say it.”
“I belong to you,” she says through gritted teeth.
“Good. Go home, Little Kitty. And don’t let me catch you with another man ever again.”
