Kara drew a sharp intake of breath, apprehension and anxiety rolling over her in waves as she stared at the terrible implement lying there so threateningly. Though she had challenged Cade and given him a fair amount of attitude, she hadn’t expected it to be enough to warrant another punishment.“Please, not again,”Kara pleaded, looking up at him fearfully.

“You look so pretty when you beg, love,”Cade whispered softly, brushing his thumb across her cheek.“But the belt isn’t for you this time.”

Cade met her wary eyes with an expression that was a combination of resignation and amusement as he reached for the buttons of his shirt, undoing them at a leisurely pace one by one. Fully unbuttoned, Cade removed the shirt and threw it unceremoniously on the floor. He stood before Kara fully naked from the waist up, his dark pants riding low on his hips with the belt removed. He was a breathtaking site of sheer masculinity that demanded admiration—imperiously broad shoulders, a smooth, muscular chest, rippling abs, and the perfect outline of a V at his hips that drew her eyes unwillingly downward. Kara cursed the disarming effect that his body had over her own and felt the icy shards of animosity that had shrouded her heart against him slowly start to melt away. Searing her to the very core with a final provoking glance, Cade turned away and faced the desk, taking a firm hold with both hands and exposing his naked back and shoulders.

“Do your worst, darling,”he provoked, his tone implying that he wasn’t worried in the least about Kara’s capacity for violence.

Kara’s heart stopped, literally forgetting its function within her chest for a mere second as she processed Cade’s intentions. Certainly he could not expect her to hit him? Not methodically, repeatedly, as though to purge his sins from his body; the idea was barbaric and preposterous. And yet, there lay his belt ready for the taking, his naked form willingly offered. She had asked him for this, had thought that only violence in turn could quell the anger that raged so fiercely within her. And in that moment, Kara was losing her nerve.

“Having second thoughts, Kara? Is beating someone not quite as enticing as you had imagined?”he questioned scathingly as he kept his back to her.

Damnit, he had called her out. Now she was determined to hit him, if only in a futile attempt to beat the smug pretentiousness out of his all too attractive body. Kara reached for the belt; it was heavier than she expected. After some practice testing the weight of it, Kara drew back her arm and threw the doubled end of the belt at Cade’s naked back with some force. The blow landed with a mild thud across the center of his back.

“Certainly you can do better than that, love. I thought you hated me? Prove it,”he goaded almost angrily.

His comments served their purpose of riling her up, and Kara threw all of her might into the next lash, hitting him squarely on the shoulders and leaving an angry red line across the entirety of his back. Having gained some confidence, Kara threw the next blow with more ease, marking his lower back right above his hips. She aimed the fourth lash at the middle of Cade’s back, striking directly against the indented curve of his spine. Kara found little fulfillment in the administering of pain, but a silent need pushed her on, seeking some semblance of surrender on his part. If she could find the smallest crack in Cade’s hardened, self-assured exterior, then maybe she could allow herself to trust him again. She swung again, an empty gesture, searching for some reaction from him. She hit him again. And again. And finally, as a blow hit the tender skin of his shoulders twice marked, a soft grunt of discomfort escaped Cade’s lips. And that, small as it was, was enough a sign of surrender for Kara to consider her task complete.

She dropped the belt instantly as though its leather burned her skin and moved toward Cade in an offering of reconciliation. Her hands reached to touch the hot, reddened skin, marveling that those wereherlashes on his back. As much as she hated the thought of hurting him, there was a primal satisfaction in seeing her marks on his skin. She reached desperate arms around his chest, hugging his back close to her front. Cade tensed in response.“Oh shit, I’m sorry,”she said, instantly pulling away.“Does it hurt?”

“I think I’ll live,” Cade answered sarcastically as he turned around slowly to face her. “Much to my surprise, you’ve got a killer swing, love. I should reconsider the next time I hand you a weapon while you’re mad at me. You might just kill me if I gave you the chance.”

“I might,” Kara answered confidently as she agreed with him. His light hearted manner set her at ease a bit, though she still harbored some feelings of guilt at having given in to her more vindictive nature.

Cade saw the furrowing of her brow and drew a finger to her temple to smooth the worried crease away. It was such a simple gesture, but it held a tenderness that awoke Kara’s repressed feelings of desire with a sudden ferocity. Cade watched as the glint in her eyes transformed into need, and he matched her carnal hunger wholeheartedly. His firm hand captured Kara’s neck and drew her mouth to his; she welcomed his devouring lips and lost herself to the kiss that righted all wrongs. Kara clawed at his bare chest needing more, no,allof him right in that moment. Her hands moved lower and lower until they found their prize: the button of his pants. In one skilled movement, Kara had the buttons undone, and Cade found himself with his pants at his knees.

“Let’s even the playing field a bit,”he said as his hands made quick work of removing and tossing her blouse aside.

Kara felt overwhelmed with gratitude as she considered how, by his willingness to lend control and submit to a measure of pain, Cade had reestablished the equality in their relationship once again. Gone was the fear that he would try to bend her to his will—in its place, Kara felt renewed trust and appreciation. And she had a very enticing idea of how to make that appreciation known. Meeting Cade’s eyes with a look full of mischievousness, Kara dropped to her knees, reached for the waistband of Cade’s boxers, and tugged them down. His massive cock sprang free, his impressive length nearly hitting her lips before she even settled her mouth on him. Kara gave his dick one slow, tantalizing stroke and then took him into her mouth. Cade released a primal growl of need and pleasure as he felt her hot mouth constrict around his cock as she ran her tongue along his length. Kara grinned as well as she could with her mouth full of cock and took Cade in deeper, fighting her gag reflex as he slid down her throat.

Cade placed a hand on Kara’s head, half steadying himself and half guiding her onward, as he closed his eyes in rapture. Kara was skilled, more so than he would have expected from a lonely librarian who supposedly spent all her time in the solitary perusal of books. Then again, he supposed there must be literature written on the subject of oral pleasure. And if that was how Kara learned her blowing skills, they should definitely make it part of the university curriculum. Kara’s pace quickened, and Cade could feel himself on the verge of release.

“Easy there, love. This isn’t where I plan on coming right now,”he cautioned as he lifted her up from her knees and placed her none too lightly on her back on the desk in front of him. “I’ve fucking missed this pussy.” Cade’s hands traveled up Kara’s skirt and savagely ripped her lacy knickers right off of her. He grabbed both of her thighs in a firm grip as she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer. He paused with his cock pressed against her already soaked cunt.“Ready for me, love?”he asked, his voice raw with need.

Kara nodded her consent, and Cade buried himself inside her as deeply as her body would allow. She moaned at the delicious feeling of being so exceptionally full, and Cade thrust faster in response, pounding into her wet slit with a brutal pace that caused her back to scrape against the surface of the desk. The burn of the wood against her bare skin merely heightened her arousal, the pain melding with the pleasure in a tantalizing symphony of sensation. Cade’s rough hands found Kara’s bra and ripped it down to her stomach, causing her naked breasts to spill free and bounce against her chest in rhythm with his thrusts. His fingers latched onto her hard, aching nipples, twisting and pinching with such ferocity that Kara whimpered at the hurt in her sensitive buds even as she wanted more of Cade’s torture.

“You like that, baby?” Cade asked roughly, his fingers pulling even harder on Kara’s nipples.

“Yes,” Kara answered breathlessly, resisting the urge to close her eyes and submit to the ecstasy.

“Tell me what you like, love. Beg me for it,” Cade commanded, his chest heaving above her as he stilled and waited for her answer.

“Please…” Kara moaned.

“Pleasewhat? Be specific, or I’m happy to fuck this tight cunt and not let you come at all.”

“Please touch my tits…make it hurt…please,” Kara begged desperately as she writhed beneath him.

“Good girl,” Cade replied, slamming into her so fast and so hard that the only thing keeping Kara from flying off the desk was his hand gripping her upper thigh so tightly that he’d definitely leave his fingerprints in bruises on her pale skin. His other hand traveled back up to Kara’s tits, groping and pinching one before reaching over and slapping the other. She shrieked at the stimulation as her pussy clenched around his cock, strangling him tightly as she rode out her orgasm with almost pained whimpers as Cade pinched both of her nipples until her orgasm subsided and she lay breathless and exhausted against the desk.

Not giving her a moment to catch her breath, Cade grasped Kara behind the knees and threw her legs over his shoulders. “Keep them there,” he ordered as he placed the head of his cock at her entrance and thrust inside her so deeply that she screamed.

“Stop, it’s too much!” Kara protested as she tried to squirm away from the huge cock that felt like it was impaling her to her very organs.

Cade held her in place with his hands digging into her upper thighs. “You can take it,” he told her as he continued his punishing assault on her pussy. “Can’t you, love?”

Kara nodded, her eyes glistening with tears as she shattered beneath the overwhelming sensation of being so savagely, exquisitely fucked. She had never been so aroused in her entire fucking existence. She went over the edge again, Cade joining her almost instantly as he groaned with his own release, the desk shaking beneath them. He hovered above her as they tried to regain their breath in synchronized heaves.

“Well that was certainly diverting,”Cade said as he crashed down on the desk and pulled Kara against his chest so he could feel her raging heartbeat against his.
