“Come,” he repeated, and I looked around, trying to find something to cover myself with, but my clothes were nowhere to be seen. His expression screamed with expectation, and his hand flexed, reminding me without words what could happen should I defy him once again.
Would it end the same way as last time? Did I want it to? I wasn’t certain.
When I didn’t move, he strode over from his position on the doorframe to me, making my heart pound with every single step. He held out his hand, and I saw no other option but to take it. With a soft gasp, I pressed my fingers into his, and an electric tingle raced up my arm and spiraled all the way down to my core. Tentatively, I let the blankets fall from my gasp, revealing my naked chest bit by bit.
When I pressed my feet to the floor and stood up, I saw him stiffen at the sight of me.
“I can bathe myself,” I said out loud, and he shook his head.
“I mean to examine you, sweet girl. I want to ensure that I didn’t hurt you,” he replied firmly.
“I wasn’t, at least not by you,” I said in a rush, feeling my cheeks heat at the memory of him pinning me over the fallen log. My gaze dropped to the gash on my leg, and he gritted his teeth.
“I want to see for myself. You will be obedient, or I will redden your bottom as thoroughly as I did yesterday. If need be, I won’t hesitate to take off my belt,” he threatened.
There was something about him that was different today, more in control than yesterday. A soft gasp fell off my lips as I glanced down at his waist, the dark brown leather strap around it ominous. A part of me was intrigued, but the rest of me remembered just how much his hand had stung. My clit didn’t get the memo, though, because it quickly throbbed to life at his warning.
“I understand,” I murmured, hating how compliant I sounded. Could he tell how much the thought of him being so firm with me turned me on?
“Good girl,” he praised.
Just as I was taking a step to follow, I stopped short, a tornado of heat cycling through me at those two words. I didn’t know what to do or say to respond. My pussy fluttered with need, and I realized that I was just as wet as I had been yesterday. I dropped my gaze, and his fingers traced down the back of my spine.
“You are a beauty,” he murmured.
“Thank you,” I said shyly, not knowing what else to say.
“Why do you not fear me?” he asked, his expression a dark mask of brooding mystery.
“You have not given me a reason to be afraid of you,” I answered.
He stilled, gazing back at me with forest green eyes. Flecks of honey sparkled like gold within those emerald irises, pulling me in just like they had yesterday. I placed my hand against his chest, and he looked down, contemplative before he reached up and wrapped his hand around my wrist. With a shake of his head, he pulled my hand away.
“I will not put you at risk like that again, Sophia,” he said softly, his tone full of regret. I opened and closed my mouth, not knowing what to say as my body simmered before him. A single droplet of arousal rolled down my thigh, and I turned my head.
Did he not want me anymore? Did he not find me attractive enough?
His hand dropped to my lower back as he guided me forward, and I went willingly, my mind a mess of thoughts and emotions. I wanted to sigh in relief. I wanted to cry. I wanted to disobey him so that he might spank me and then fuck me again.
I did none of those things.
Instead, I went obediently through the doorway into a beautifully crafted bathroom. I breathed in, the scent of cedar planks strong, and closed my eyes. The aroma of roses wafted through the air, and I opened my eyes again, seeing a beautiful, clawfoot ivory bathtub at one side of the room. It was full of steaming water with coral-colored petals strewn across the oiled surface.
I did my best to ignore my body’s simmering needs, and I walked forward without his prodding. Keeping my eyes down, I took his hand when he offered it so that I could climb into the tub.
“I mean it. I’m perfectly capable of washing my own body,” I spat, not really out of annoyance towards him, but with frustration towards my body’s reaction.
Without missing a beat, he spun me around and popped a stinging smack to both sides of my ass before he paused.
My pussy throbbed with need, and I did my best to ignore it.
His rigidness was both alarming and comforting in the same breath. On the one hand, I felt pouty about the fact that he was being so firm with me. Both swats burned long after he’d delivered them, maybe especially so because my ass was already sore from the spanking he’d given me last night. In opposition to that, however, a part of me was relieved that he was still willing to give me that kind of attention.
Maybe that was what he liked. Maybe that’s what I liked.
My head a mass of confusion, I complied when he pressed lightly down on my shoulder, indicating that I was to lower myself down into the water. It was the perfect temperature, and I did so with ease, but not without my entire core throbbing incessantly with want.
I did my best to ignore it.
