“I’m going to ask you one more time before I get really nasty. What do you think you’re doing?”

He gripped my hips, the smile on his face one I wanted to wipe off. “Giving you exactly what you deserve.”

“And that is?”

As he reached for the button on my jeans, I gasped in horror, shocked at the level of excitement that left me breathless. There were even stars floating in front of my eyes. Since when had a man affected me to this level?

“Giving you a hard spanking. That should teach you the value of getting to know someone before you assume the worst.” He lifted his heated gaze, a sly smile crossing his face before yanking down my zipper, tugging the thick material over my hips.

“What? Are you out of your mind?” A what? Was he kidding me?

A spanking?

This man wasn’t just an intolerable asshole. No, he took being a Neanderthal to an entirely new level, even if he was sexy.

Rugged.

Dangerous.

Delicious.

Oh, hell, no. I had to stop thinking that way.

A strange moment of remembrance flushed through my mind, and I was instantly frozen. But as I looked into his eyes, warmth spread through me like wildfire. Even if he was a sexy beast, I refused to allow him to take control.

Snarling, I fought him with everything I had, pitching my body from one side to the other, but to no avail. The man was far too strong.

“I guess that’s for you to determine,” he chortled in response.

I was so shocked I couldn’t react quickly enough, the air sucked out of me when he managed to jerk my jeans all the way down my legs to my knees. This was insane. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before.

“You are nuts, but not for the reason you think. Let go of me.” My reaction was without thinking. For a second time, I slapped him hard across the face, a slice of pain trickling into my palm.

Snake grunted when the force of the blow shoved his head to the side.

I was horrified at what I’d done. I’d never used physical violence under any circumstances.

As he slowly returned his head in my direction, I had no doubt by the intense look in his eyes that I’d just provoked the beast.

I’d underestimated him or maybe I’d overestimated my qualifications. Either way, there was no doubt I wasn’t getting out of this.

“Because of that, you’re getting spanked without your panties.” The man was more savage than I believed. When he slipped a single finger under the waistband, grinning as he snapped his wrist, all I could do was open my mouth wide. I’d never been treated in such an egregious manner, like a bad little girl.

Why couldn’t I say anything? Why had all the words left my vocabulary?

“Now you’ll learn not to confront a very bad man.”

Was he kidding me? I was incensed, unable to think clearly, which is why the brute of a man was able to plop his ass down on the couch, yanking me over his knees.

I slammed my hands on the hardwood floor, still dazed while he brought his hand down four times in rapid succession.

Then my natural, what he’d called ‘bitchy’ tendencies kicked in and I fought with everything I had, managing to pitch my body off his lap and onto the floor.

“Oh, you like to play rough, do you?” he asked in a deep, husky voice, the tone penetrating every cell in my body. Before I could scramble away, he’d yanked me back into position, throwing his good leg over both of mine.

Rough. Even the way the word reverberated in the back of my mind seemed odd, but it was as if he could read what I needed. A strange series of sensations tore through me, a need so powerful that I couldn’t breathe. Then a crazier thought interrupted the first.

The exercise with his other leg would be good for him. What the hell was wrong with me? Finally, I found my voice as he cracked his hand across my naked bottom twice more. “Stop this now or you will suffer the consequences.”
