“Both,” she croaks.
“Liars get punishments,” I murmur in her ear. “One last chance to confess to your crimes, and maybe I’ll go easy on you.”
Her breaths echo through the room as her muscles tighten. I can tell by her reaction what's about to come out of her filthy, lying mouth.
“Both,” she growls, hissing when I shove the side of her face into the desktop.
“Punishment it is,” I say, not loosening my hold on her. “Put your palms down on the desk. And do not move them.”
“You're not the goddamn boss of me,” she hisses, grunting when I force her palms down flat on the desk.
“That's where you're wrong. I'm your boss. Your king. Your everything,” I whisper directly in her ear, listening to her ragged breaths as she fights my hold.
“You're nothing!” she grits out, shivering when I kiss her cheek. “You kidnapped me. You stole my home. You handcuffed me to your wrist and forced me to sign a contract.”
A smile curves my lips. “Because you refused to see me for what I am. Yours. And you're mine. Now, I want some truths off your lying tongue,” I murmur.
“What the fuck?” she whispers. “What the hell are you doing?” She squirms as my hand works up her thighs, dragging the material of her silky nightgown until it's bunched at her hips, exposing her ass. The tiny thong I instructed her to wear does nothing to hide her from me. “Jericho!” she warns, trying to wiggle out of my grasp.
“Here are the rules, Little Chaos. You will count every whack I give until we get to ten. By the time we get to ten, you'll tell me where you're going, not before then. You'll take your ten lashings like a good little girl. Nod if you understand.”
Every muscle in her body stiffens when my hand rubs along her bare cheek, soothing it before I inflict pain. I hum when she glares at me from over her shoulder, not acknowledging what I said.
I test her flesh, gently smacking her ass with my hand until she yelps, stiffening from the stinging pain.
“You will acknowledge me,” I demand into her ear, letting my warm breath brush against her flesh. “Say, yes, Jericho, I understand.” I squeeze her cheek hard, and her breath hitches. The smell of her arousal permeates the damn air, hardening me further. “Be a good girl because my patience is wearing thin.”
I give her a few seconds to work through what I said. I'm sure it's difficult to give control over to me with how hard-headed she is. She'll learn soon enough.
“Yes,” she grits out, gasping when I hit her with my palm again, leaving a pretty red hand mark on her delicate flesh.
“You're forgetting a part,” I chuckle.
“Jericho,” she grunts. “Yes, Jericho.”
“Such a good girl. Now, you'll stay where you are and count your punishment to ten. Understand?”
“Yes, Jericho,” she snarks with fire brewing in her eyes.
“Never lose that fire, Chaos. Let it shine bright,” I whisper, grabbing my violin bow from the desk. Her breath hitches again when I run the tip of it down her spine and over the bare curve of her ass. “I'll never put your fire out. I'll kindle it in my palm forever. You and me? We're gasoline. An explosion. Now, count.” I don't give her a chance to respond when the first hit whacks against her fair skin. I suck in a breath, watching the red form on her flesh, and my dick twitches at the sight of her blemished skin. “You didn't count.”
“One,” she hisses with displeasure. Whack. “Two.” Whack. Whack. Whack. “Three. Four. Five.” Whack. Whack. Whack. “Six. Seven. Eight.” Whack. Whack. “Nine. Ten," she gasps out, arching her back further by the time I'm done. Her breaths ring out through the room.
My hand rubs along her flesh, soothing the burn sizzling beneath her skin.
“Are you ready to confess your sins to me, Little Chaos? Tell me why you're wandering around in the early hours of the day when you should still be sleeping. Better yet,” I lean in so my back is draped over her, and every inch of my body presses into hers. “How'd you escape?”
There's a moment in everyone’s life when they weigh their options. It's written in the minuscule movements on their faces. The curling of their fists or the shift of their posture. The widening of their eyes. And in her case, the dilation of her pupils, blackening her moss-green eyes.
“Just a reminder, I can keep you here all day. You have so much flesh to pretty up with my bow until it snaps in two,” I whisper again, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and nibbling on it. Fuck. She shivers against me. Her breath hitches. God damn. She's so turned on I can smell her cunt from here, making me want to do wicked, beautiful things to her. But I won’t. My dick will stay firmly in my pants until I walk her down the aisle and say I do.
“You wouldn't,” she challenges with a moan.
Normally, I'd call her bluff. But I have better plans for her.
“Oh, I would. You keep telling me what I won't do. I should wash that from your vocabulary right now with my dick down your throat. I've seen and done things you can only imagine. So, confess to me, or I'll continue to drag it out of you.”
Out of the corner of my eye, a pair of bright eyes catches my attention. He swallows hard, watching from the shadows of the entrance with flushed cheeks. Red still paints his skin when he nods in my direction, watching.
