“Right, Gem,” I murmured. “Put your hands on that footboard and don’t let go until I say you can. This is your chance to show me you can listen. Let go even once, and I’ll carry you straight to the nest and fuck every one of your tight holes.”
Her breath caught at that, and she tried to step from my grip as she reached for the wood. I didn’t let her; instead running my hand down the small of her back, feeling goosebumps light on her skin as she was forced to bend while still pressed up against me.
Shit.
She was breathtaking like that. Her honey brown hair tumbled toward the floor, the gold of her skin glowing in the dim lights I’d left on. I nudged her feet so they were shoulder width apart, giving me a stunning view of her sweet ass hugged by black silk.
I stepped back, folding the belt in two and securing the buckle in my fist. “I’m going to punish you for lying to me.”
“I d-don’t know what you mean.”
“You keep saying you don’t want me.”
“Idon’twant—” She let out a shocked whimper as—anticipating her answer, I let loose the first strike of the belt. Itcrackedagainst the delicate skin of her thighs, just below her ass.
Her breathing was coming in sharp pants, and I watched carefully as her skin blossomed pink, a stripe against rich skin.
I left her for a moment as she drew deep breaths, crossing back to my bedside table and picking up the small bottle of massage oil. I poured some onto my palm, then tucked the bottle into my pocket.
Shatter jumped as I palmed the smooth curve of her ass, rubbing the oil gently into the smarting welt I’d left.
“W-what are you doing?” she asked, voice a rasp.
I didn’t answer.
She was shivering, I realised, but she didn’t let go of the footboard, clearly trying to keep silent, even as I massaged her sore flesh. It remained a bright pink, shining now with the thin layer of oil across it.
A perfect shade.
I continued working her tender skin, almost able to feel her confusion. “We’re going to do ten…” I paused at the faintest moan of shock she let out. “But I’ll stop if you admit you were lying.”
She’d be crying if we reached ten, but a part of me didn’t believe she’d break. She was stubborn, wild, and determined—for all the wrong things.
“Every time you defend those alphas, I will punish you and take my pleasure without you.” Then I tugged at her panties, ignoring her squeak of derision as I shifted them to the side enough that they caught along the crease of her sex. I was rewarded by the sight of glistening slick. If I left them like that, they would tug just the right way every time she moved. It left me with full access, both to the sight of her pretty cunt and how wet it was getting, but also…
“But if you’re a good girl, and take your punishment without argument…” She let out a whine as I slipped a finger into her, pumping into her once, then twice with a second finger to get her warmed up. She was so fucking tight and wet that the black fabric clinging to her pussy was damp through.
We’d barely even begun.
I stepped to the side and crouched down beside her, tucking her hair behind her ear so I could see her face. Her eyes were squeezed shut.
“If you aren’t lying, why are you soaked?”
“You’re an alpha,” she hissed.“It’s normal.”
“So you’d prefer it if it were… Eric, doing this to you, tonight?” It was dangerous, speaking one of those names, and I let a wall slam closed, keeping at bay the fury that could come with it.
She looked shocked for a moment, and I could see the way her mind tripped over that question as if she wasn’t sure what to do with it. “He would never do this to me.”
I stared at her, suddenly concerned I’d taken one step too far. Familiar hatred was made of vicious shadows that stretched, and bile burned my throat.Too close to the sun…
Only then my eyes met hers: glinting gems of gold, even distraught as they were. The world steadied, darkness fading from my vision.
“No,” I said quietly. “He wouldn’t. No alpha in that pack will ever give you anything I’ll give you tonight.”
Her brows came down, gaze shifting to something more analysing as she took me in. She was erratic, but she wasn’t stupid. “I wouldn’t want them to.”
Ignoring her, I pressed my fingers to her lips. “Clean me off, Gem.”
