“That’s blackmail.”
“My favorite kind.”
Tara gritted her teeth, but she knew she couldn’t last forever. Why put herself through the torture?
“I took the bus,” she told him.
“At night. You know you’re not allowed to take public transportation at night.”
“I don’t like the word allowed. Please may I come, Sir?”
“I don’t think you deserve to.”
“You said if I told you then you’d let me come.”
“So I did. All right, you may come.”
Had she been in her right mind she might have heard the dark note in his voice, but she was swimming in an ocean of arousal.
As she shuddered with pleasure, Alex arranged her so she was lying over his lap. He raised the bottom of her t-shirt up over her ass. She still didn’t realize what was happening, not until the first heavy smack landed on her ass.
“Oww, what was that for?” Her orgasm had been rudely interrupted by that spank. She attempted to climb off his lap, but he held her there firmly, her stomach pressed against his thighs.
“Tell me why you aren’t allowed to ride public transportation at night.”
Crap…crap…crap.
“Because you think it’s dangerous.”
“I worry about you, Tara. Walking around on your own at night is dangerous.”
“This neighborhood is really safe. You worry too much.”
“You don’t worry enough.”
“I’ve been taking public transportation for years. Nothing bad has ever happened to me.”
“You were mugged the other night,” he said with disbelief.
“I wasn’t on the bus then.”
“But you were walking to the bus stop. This stops now, understand me? I gave you this rule for your own safety and you disobeyed me. Part of the reason I jumped down your throat before was because I was worried about you. While I was waiting for you, I was imagining you hurt, alone, afraid. Another half an hour and I would have started calling the hospitals. I can’t have that, Tara. You will follow the rules for your safety.”
He smacked his hand down on her ass. There was no play involved. Immediately her ass stung. There wasn’t an inch he didn’t cover. By the sixth smack her eyes were stinging along with her butt. Tears started dripping down her face and she kicked her feet, unable to help herself. There was nothing sexy or sensual about this spanking.
Tara soon lost count of the spanks. All the pain and worry from the last few weeks bubbled up and burst out of her in a huge sob. She tried to hold back but she couldn’t. Sobs shuddered through, rocking her body.
Immediately, Alex stopped and pulled her up, settling her on his lap and holding her tight. Tara buried her face into his chest and simply let go. She cried until it was hard to breathe. She was choked up, each breath more difficult than the last.
“Tara, calm down. Calm down, baby. Breathe in then out. That’s it. Just breathe, sweetheart.”
Tara drew in one deep breath then another. Oh hell, had she really just broken down like that?
How embarrassing.
Wiping her cheeks, she tried to gain some composure, certain her face was as red as her ass.
“I’m sorry.” She attempted to climb off his lap, but Alex held her tight.
