She lay there stunned for a moment, before squirming and twisting to get up from this new and vulnerable position.

With an arm firmly around her waist, pinning her against him, he ensured she remained right where he wanted her.

“Ethan! What are you doing?”

“Preparing you for something that’s been a long time in coming.”

“Wait!”

“The time for waiting is over. You agreed. I’m in charge now. I’ll hear your safeword, otherwise you’re getting spanked.” He gave her a moment to consider as his palm and splayed fingers caressed the lovely white canvas presented to him. He didn’t let himself become distracted, which was a real possibility, and got right to it when Red didn’t pass her lips, landing a swat, quick and sharp, across each bottom cheek.

Her yelp sounded surprised. It also wasn’t the word to end things, so he continued.

Chapter 3

LANIE LAY FROZEN INplace, the air trapped in her lungs, unable to believe he actually meant to punish her. Once or twice in the time they’d been together, he’d given her a lusty swat or two, but this was different. It wasn’t in the heat of the moment, and unlike before, it stung a lot.

His hand returned, but instead of another swat, he gently ran his palm over her bottom. The sting quickly subsided, changing to a tingling warmth that spread across her skin. After a moment, his hand extended its caress, his fingertips trailing over her curves in widening circles and smoothing down her thighs, his nails scratching her lightly in sensitive spots. He seemed in no hurry to get on with things, either punishment or pleasure, continuing to stroke and tease, brushing ever closer to her center. When he at last touched her pussy, a shiver rushed through her body and she relaxed into the intoxicating blend of sensations.

“You’re drenched,” he commented, stating the obvious.

She had been from the moment he’d saidgood girl. Those simple words had sent a blast of heat, moisture, and desire surging to her pussy. Then he’d ordered her over his lap, and the rush of arousal inundating her system had robbed her of the ability to think. It left her mindlessly obeying her libido, the center of which lay between her already damp thighs, making her willing to do anything he asked. Her husband never failed to turn her on. It was always this way, even after all the years they’d been together. But tonight, it had increased exponentially.

Twice more his hand descended, one on each cheek, both stinging as much as the first. More rubbing followed, making her wiggle and squirm, unable to remain still. But he managed her movements easily with an arm around her waist, his firm hold pinning her in place. When his fingers slipped between her thighs, gliding along her wet folds and finding her clit, she froze for a moment before wantonly spreading her thighs in a wordless plea for more. His long, broad thumb sank into her next and she couldn’t remain silent as pure, unadulterated lust swamped her senses and unbidden, a moan escaped her lips.

“That’s my girl. You want me to take control, don’t you?”

Mindless with arousal so intense she couldn’t speak, she could only whimper in answer. He lingered another minute, thumb-fucking her dripping channel while his fingers thrummed persistently over her clit.

“You’re beautiful, Lanie. I can think of nothing I want more than to drive into this drenched pussy.” His hand changed angle, and he plunged two fingers into her up to the third knuckle. “I plan to do just that, but we need to finish what we’ve started here. I’m giving you a dozen this first time, for the sass and the cursing.”

Biting back a groan, she canted her hips and spread wider for him. It was too much, obliterating her tenuous control as the rising pressure threatened to burst free.

“Ethan...sir, I’m gonna come.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, he pulled his fingers free.
