Harry kissed her on the forehead and resumed his position behind her. The next spanks landed more harshly than he intended and Bella’s howl into the bed coverings let him know it.
He eased up, but only a little.
Once upon a time, he’d been angry Bella had not returned to him after several weeks, but that anger had eventually given way to hurt.
He didn’t want to hurt her. Not with spankings. She loved the discipline of them too much for him to ever use them against her as a form of punishment.

He just wanted his life back.
And dear God, he wanted sex back.
He hoped his cock forgave him at some point. He hadn’t felt this level of arousal in so very long and being this close to her, touching her, seeing her red ass turned him on. It always had, but right now, it was the sharpest arousal he could remember in recent memory.
But she was not ready to give in to play or sex or any combination of both and his patience would likely be tested even more before he got back on the plane Monday morning.
