But it’s the amusement in his voice that sends a chill down my spine. “Wh-what are you going to do?”
In answer, he sets me on my feet beside the chair, still keeping a tight hold around my waist as he stares down at me with those dark, unreadable eyes. “I am going to let you go now. If you run, I will drag your ass upstairs and take my belt to your bare bottom until you can’t even think of sitting comfortably. Understood?”
“Yes. Yup. Crystal-clear.”
Sighing, he releases his hold on me and shakes his head. “How do you address me, kitten?”
Fuck. As much trouble as I’m in, you’d think I’d havesomesense of self-preservation. “Yes, Daddy. Sorry.”
“Much better.” He reaches for the tie on the long silk robe wrapped around him and it falls open, revealing that the robe isallhe’s wearing.
Embarrassment heats my cheeks, which is ridiculous because I’ve had his cock in my mouth. But there’s something about this moment, about seeing him in all his chiseled, body-of-a-fucking-god glory that feels so much more… intimate.
His lips twitch, which only adds to my humiliation, and he reaches for me, grabbing my arms and gently pulling them behind my back. As he lectures, he winds the silky tie around my wrists, binding them into place. “When Daddy puts you to bed,he expects you tostayin bed. And I believe I was very clear this afternoon that my office is off limits to you. Was I not?”
“Y-yes, Daddy,” I whisper as he strips my diaper from me and turns me to face the armchair. “I’m sorry. I promise I won’t ever do it again.”
It’s a lie, and a bold one at that. And judging by the low, wicked chuckle from behind me, he knows damn well it’s a lie.
“We both know you will. You can’t help yourself. But that nosy nature of yours is bound to get you in trouble, little one. And it’s Daddy’s job to make sure you learn all the rules so you can keep yourself safe.”
With a gentle nudge, he pushes me down over the plush, rounded arm of the chair. The position forces my feet up off the ground and with my arms tied behind my back, I have exactly zero leverage.
I am stuck. Helpless to fight back.
And more fucking turned on than I can ever remember being in mylife.
What the hell is wrong with me?
To my horror, I’m not the only one who realizes how this whole scenario is affecting me. Two thick, rough fingers slip inside me and again he lets out one of those quiet, soul-shaking laughs.
“Is my naughty kitten enjoying her punishment?”
“No!”
“Little liar. We’ll need to do something about that. I know you’re used to bending and stretching the truth for your job, but I will accept nothing less than complete and utter honesty from my Little girl. Am I making myself clear, Natalie Quinn?”
As he speaks, he moves his fingers in and out of my soaked pussy, stroking that spot inside me that has me seeing stars. “Y-yes, Daddy!”
“Then I’m going to ask you again. Are you enjoying your punishment so far, kitten?”
What’s the point in lying to someone who’s knuckles-deep inside my vagina, with the evidence of my arousal coating his skin? “Yes, Daddy.”
“Good girl.” His words are a low rumble that nearly make me whimper in response. Drawing his fingers from my pussy, he drags them up between my ass-cheeks, pressing against my bottom hole even as I clench as hard as I can to prevent him from entering methereagain. “If you keep behaving yourself for me, I might let you come while I fuck this sweet little asshole. Relax, kitten, and let Daddy in.”
I freeze, unable to move, to think, to evenbreatheas I try to process what he’s just said. “You can’t!”
“Oh, but I can. You aremine, Natalie Quinn. Which means every inch of this beautiful body belongs to me. I had planned to wait to claim you here, but your behavior tonight has given me no choice. You’re going to learn to obey me, one way or another, little one. And unless you want this to hurt far more than it needs to, I suggest you start listening and relax.Now.”
Closing my eyes, blocking out everything, I focus on forcing my muscles to loosen. To let him in, even though my mind is screaming at me to fight. Even if I wanted to struggle, I physically can’t, not enough to make a difference.
So I’ll accept my punishment, like a good girl, and pray it isn’t as bad as I think it’s going to be.
Chapter Nine
Natalie
Evander’s finger, soaked with my arousal, presses deeper inside me, just like it did when he was bathing me. Only now, there’s not nearly as much slickness, and I whimper at the burn and stretch as he forces himself into my most forbidden hole.
