She’d been upside down so long standing up gave her a head rush, and she swayed in his grip. He stood, turning her with surprisingly gentle hands, and lowered her to the mattress. “Lie down.”

She hissed and jerked when her butt made contact with the mattress, and he laughed. She tried to get back up but he held her down. “Oh no, you don’t.”

She grunted, bucking against his hold. “It hurts.”

“I know.” He forced her onto her back, pushing and shoving her into the middle of the mattress. “I should’ve gotten a floor mat out of my truck.”

She blinked, momentarily distracted from her sore butt. “Huh?”

“Never mind,” he said cheerfully, and pulled her arms up over her head. Pinning them down, he settled his weight over her. She hissed again—her butt was raw—but woven in with the pain was desire, growing more urgent by the second.

Her butt burned, her pussy throbbed. He was hard and heavy on top of her, all but crushing her into the mattress. His chest flattened her breasts, his dick dug into her belly. “Okay, I’m lying down,” she managed through the haze of lust. “Now what?”

“I’m not done punishing you,” he said pressing down as she continued to twist under him, fighting to get loose.

And was thrilled when she couldn’t.

“What exactly am I being punished for again?”

“For being a bad girl,” he reminded her patiently.

“You were bad, too,” she pointed out breathlessly. She was rapidly losing strength, and he wasn’t even breathing hard. It was frustrating. It was infuriating.

It was so hot she could barely stand it.

He cocked his head. “How so?”

She bucked her hips to shake him loose. He didn’t move so much as an inch. “You didn’t have to fuck me.”

His grin was wide, and wicked. “No, I really did.”

She bit back a laugh.

“And anyway, it doesn’t matter,” he continued, still grinning. “I can be as bad as I want.”

She twisted this way and that, to no avail. “Why do you get to be bad,” she panted, “and I don’t?”

“Because I’m in charge,” he reminded her. “And you, pretty Anna, are very much not.”

CHAPTER FIVE

Grant took a moment to regroup. Lust was making him dizzy, and he considered it a minor miracle that he had enough blood left in his head for basic brain function. Her body was soft under him, her big brown eyes clouded with frustration and desire. Her hands were still twisting in his grip, but slower now, weaker. Deciding she’d tired herself out enough, he tightened his grip in warning. “Keep your hands where they are or I’ll tie you to the bed, jerk off all over your tits, and leave you there until morning.”

He wouldn’t, of course—leaving a bound partner unattended for any length of time was an absolute no-no—but she didn’t need to know that.

Her hands went limp in his grip. “That’s mean.”

“I know.” He released her hands, amused and pleased when she curled them into fists, and pushed to his feet so he could look at all of her.

She lay across the bed like a virgin sacrifice. Soft breasts capped with pinkish-brown nipples, tight and flushed with color. Generous hips curved down into round thighs that shifted restlessly under his regard. Her belly was a sweet curve that begged for his teeth, her pubic mound decorated with a neat little patch of light brown curls.

He took his time looking, noting the patches of freckles that rode her shoulders, the little smattering of them under her belly button. The longer he looked, the thicker her breathing got, and by the time his gaze had made its way back to her face she was panting.

He noted the flush riding high on her cheeks, over her chest, the dazed and desperate look in her eye, and decided to give her an out. “You sorry yet?”

Her tongue slicked over her lips. Her eyes still held that dazed, desperate look, but to his delight they were lit with an impish light. “What am I supposed to be sorry for again?”

He raised an eyebrow, enjoying the way his gut tightened when her tongue darted out to wet her lips again. The nervous gesture had the beast in him rearing up—he ruthlessly choked it back. He’d let it loose soon, but first, he wanted to have some fun.
