“Harmony was filling your head with tall tales. She and Gray never had sex in his office at that school. As far as I know, she’d only had sex toys prior to Gray.”

“But she told me he made her spread her legs and ran a hand down… uh, never mind, you get the picture.” My already pink cheeks were on fire, and I could only imagine what I must have looked like to him. “Anyway, she said they both got caught with their pants down and he incited the entire thing.” I sat back in my seat with a pout, crossing my arms. “I can’t believe she lied to me all those times.”

“If it makes you feel better, Harmony confessed her lies and paid for them. Maybe don’t let that ruin your time together. She is getting married, and you are her maid of honor.”

He was right, of course, but I wasn’t ready to let go of my anger about her lying to me all those years. Now I had to question what was real and what wasn’t, and that made me feel like our friendship was fake.

“Fine. I’ll work on forgiving her, but I don’t like it.” I suddenly wished I was going anywhere but Rawhide. Did they know she was a liar? The more I thought about it, the more steamed I became.

After a few minutes of silence and the anger growing and taking over common sense, I decided I’d had enough. “Stop the truck! I want to get out.”

Jacob signaled and pulled over to the shoulder of the highway. He jumped out of the cabin and ran to my side, yanking open the door.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

I undid my seat belt and jumped out, joining him on the pavement.

“I want to go home.” I stomped my foot for emphasis.

Jacob seemed relieved. “I see you are still angry.”

“You’re no better than she is. Why did you pick me up, anyway? Isn’t there a gaggle of submissives for you to choose from at that place?” I had worked myself up into a real tizzy. Irrationally mad at the world, but mostly at myself for being so ignorant, but I wasn’t ready to face that yet.

“You know what, just forget it. I don’t need you or anyone else.” I turned and started stomping my way through the adjacent woods.

“Veronica. If I have to come and fetch you back here, you won’t like it.”

I ignored him and walked faster, hanging on tight to Bananas.

“Ronnie, my patience is running thin. This is your final warning. You have to the count of three to get your naughty bottom back here or I’m going to bend you over the nearest rock and spank you until you scream. Do you hear me?”

I started running. Behind me, I heard Jacob in pursuit. I raced for the trees, not knowing where I was going, just blindly running when his hand suddenly wrapped around my bicep.

I yelped and tried to tug free, but he picked me up and tossed me over his shoulder like he had back at the apartment.

“Stop it, Jacob!” My attempt to pound him on his back with my fists was pretty pathetic despite Bananas’ help as he was heavy and still in my arms. “Put me down this instant.” I shrieked. Even to my own ears I sounded like a spoiled brat, but I couldn’t help it. This was just too much and now to find out my best friend was a liar all this time. No, no, no, that was just too much to comprehend.

“Oh, I’ll put you down, sweet cheeks, right over my lap!” His hand landed a stinging swat on my ass.

“Oh, no you don’t! Don’t you dare spank me, you, you ape!” Feeling soft fur in my hands, I whispered, “Sorry, Bananas, I’m not callingyouan ape.” Though I swore I heard a chuckle, Jacob sure didn’t appear amused when he stopped walking and lowered me from his shoulder and sat down on a fallen tree. After relieving me of Bananas, sitting the monkey down beside him, he placed me firmly over his thighs.

Oh-oh, now I’d gone and done it.

“Little V, I thought I made it clear who was in charge here, but I guess you need a reminder.” With one hand he gripped the waistband of my panties and skirt and tugged them down, exposing my bottom.

Mortification gripped me and I reached back to hide my bottom.

He gripped both wrists in one of his. “You’ll stay still and take your punishment if you know what’s good for you.”

A line of fire lit up my ass like an inferno. Where had he gotten a switch? I screamed and tried kicking my legs, but I was no match for Jacob’s superior size and strength.

He tilted me toward the forest floor where I saw interesting fungi adhering to the limb, he sat on but had no time to ponder nature. With his thigh wrapped over mine and both my wrists captured in his hand, I had no squirming room and no way to hide my bottom from the relentless strokes of the branch.

A dozen strokes in, I was crying and begging for him to stop. Promising anything to make the stripes of fire stop. But he didn’t relent, and I quickly realized that he was right, the spanking at the apartment had seemed like a funishment compared with what he gave me now. Each whir sound I heard ended with the switch cracking on my bottom.

It didn’t take long for me to give up and hang limply over his lap, completely spent. I was gasping for air between wails of misery and hiccupping, uttering nonsensical words.

He stopped spanking me and rubbed my scorching backside until I calmed down and then sat me up so fast the woods spun in a circle. I would have fallen had he not tucked me firmly on his lap. Snot and tears covered my face. He took a hankie from his pocket and cleaned me up.
