“And if I don’t?” she all but purred at him.
“Then I guess I’ll have to repeat this lesson until you do.”
If anyone had ever needed a spanking—cathartic, discipline, or erotic—it was Harper. She had responded so beautifully. Spence had no doubt he’d been manipulated to a certain degree, but he didn’t care. Her response and the way she was feeling now was worth it.
“I’m sorry I snapped at you. I know you’ll find out who killed my sister. Just please don’t exclude me.”
“I won’t, not now. I should, but I won’t. I’m not sure why I told you about my brother. It’s not something I normally do.”
She smiled softly, grasping the nape of his neck and raising herself so she could kiss him again. “I knew your personal reputation as an investigator. And knowing you’ve been through a similar experience helps, but I have to wonder…who helped you?”
Harper yawned and was almost asleep when he loosened her hold on him, lying her back on the bed and removing her boots and bra before pulling the comforter over her. He grabbed a bottle of water and a protein bar from the mini fridge, leaving her a note that if she woke, she was to eat the bar and drink the bottle of water and that he’d just gone to her truck. He wasn’t sure how he should sign the note and so just signed his name with his cell phone number beneath it.
Silently he slipped from her room and called his team and Pete, instructing both that they needed to find Dulcie’s tablet and to make it a priority. He also let his team know he would be at the lodge and as soon as they were ready, they’d head out to the crime site. He unlocked Harper’s truck and grabbed her one bag—a large version of a weekender, covered in a southwest tapestry, but much smaller than a normal piece of luggage. His girl traveled light.
His girl?Where the hell had that idea come from?
He let it ruminate in his head while he ensured there was nothing else from the vehicle that she might need. Then he went back to her room after telling the front desk to hold all calls. Back upstairs in her room, he sat in the dark, illuminated only by the fire, and watched her sleep. He’d be there when she woke to give her whatever she needed.
She needs dick,cried his cock.
He told his dick to shut up, and it seemed to pout. It didn’t get any less rigid pouting, but it was definitely not talking to him.
CHAPTER6
As Spence watched her sleep, he realized the leaps they’d made in getting involved. He only hoped that she wouldn’t regret it; he knew he wouldn’t. Oh, well, two steps forward and one step back was still progress.
“Should I be embarrassed?” she asked, breaking his reverie.
She was awake.
“Not at all, are you?”
“No, and that’s why I wondered if I should. You were right. I needed to cry, and you helped me purge all that cold, dead energy.”
“I’m glad I could help.”
“What should I do?”
“What do you want, Harper?” he asked, knowing full well if she wanted to sleep alone, he would sleep in the chair. There was no way he was leaving her without someone to watch over her—specifically, him.
“Same answer as before—you.”
Spence stood and discarded his clothing during the short distance it took him to get from the chair to the bed.
“You’re going to do as I tell you. When you don’t, or if I think you need it, I’m going to spank your ass silly. Got it?”
“Consensual non-consent, I believe you called it.”
He couldn’t have stopped the grin spreading across his face any more than he could have stopped the Snake River from flowing through Yellowstone. Somehow, he’d just gotten Harper Logan to agree to a consensual not-consent, D/s relationship. He realized he’d been waiting for Harper his entire life and now that he had her, he wasn’t going to let go.
Leaning down, he brought their lips together in a deep, quietly intense kiss. His cock was screaming bloody murder, but it could scream all it wanted. This was about Harper and what she needed. If that ended up with his cock inside her, good enough, but he was not going to give her cause to regret. His tongue danced with hers, heat and arousal surging through his system.
He crawled into bed beside her and when she reached for him, he covered her body with his and settled himself between her legs. His cock was poised at the entrance to her core. All he needed was to thrust up and he’d be balls deep in her, but tonight was about something more than that. This was about connecting on a very primal level and growing together from that rock solid base.
He bussed her lips with his before kissing down her face to the hollow of her throat, where he swirled his tongue before continuing on to her breast. His tongue traced the outline of her areola, flicking her nipple before sucking it into his mouth and suckling before giving it the edge of his teeth.
Making his way down her body, he stopped to lick, suck, and nip. He inched his body downward until his mouth was hovering over her sex. Spence spread her legs wider before giving her labia and then her clit a little nuzzle, kiss, and nip, making her writhe in his hands.
