He held his finger up, silencing her with a stern look. “We don’t have time for this. Your brother needs medical attention. We need to get him back to my place.” He stood and called his horse to him.
She leapt for the sword and swung it at him, her green eyes sparkling defiantly. “We are not going anywhere with you! I don’t trust you not to steal all our belongings and kill us.”
He growled. They didn’t have time for this. And this little pipsqueak of a woman, adorable as she was, was wearing his patience thin. “The next town is over 20 miles away, and there is a huge storm blowing in.” He looked up at the quickly darkening sky. “My place is only a few miles down the road. Besides, if I wanted you dead, I would have left you for the wolves.”
She frowned. “Well, maybe you want to have your way with me.”His cock twitched in his pants at the suggestion. He would love to see how she looked, naked and on her knees for him.
He shook his head to clear that thought.
“Maybe I do; maybe I don’t. Either way, I don’t take my women without consent.,” He loved the way her green eyes went wide at that. He had to push the image of her on her knees, begging him to touch her from his mind.
Turning his back to her, he started to remove the saddle from his horse. He would put the little minx’s brother on the horse, strap him down, and try to keep him from falling off. He picked the young man up in his arms and strode toward the horse.
“I have a better idea.” The young woman pressed the sword against his back.
He stilled.
She poked it a few times gently into his back without breaking any skin. “I am going to take your horse and head to the town. It’s only a few miles for you. You can walk home.”
Unbelievable. Also, hilarious that she thought she could threaten him with a sword. “Listen, sweetheart” He turned and pinned her with a stern gaze. “I am trying to help you. You can’t make it to the town before the storm hits. Besides, this ismyhorse. You don’t take things that don’t belong to you.”
“Too bad! Now put my brother on the horse.” She glared up at him defiantly.
“Sweetheart, you better put that damn sword down before you find yourself upended over my knee.”
He sensed her movement before she swiped the sword across his arm, and two drops of blood formed through thecut in his shirt. He knelt and placed the injured man on top of his coat, then set the pack on the ground.
“You’re going to regret that,” he growled and watched her eyes widen in fear as he snatched the sword away from her easily and pulled her to him.
“Let me go!” she shrieked.
He sat down on the pack and yanked her over his lap. “Oh, there won’t be any permanent damage, but this is going to hurt. You’re going to get a damn good spanking. That’s how we deal with little she-devils where I come from,” he growled. Before she had a chance to reply, he lit into her backside.
“Ow, ouch! Stop!” She flailed her arms and legs.
He rubbed her ass, admiring her soft curves before he gave her another hard swat. “Stop the drama. You can barely feel my hand through all these layers.” He pulled up her dress and her petticoat and inspected her panty-covered ass, barely pink from his quick warm-up. He would change that quickly.
“You can’t do this! I might get hypothermia!” she squealed and placed her hands across her ass.
He chuckled and held her hands to her back. “Well then, we’ll just have to get you warmed up, won’t we?” He brought his hand down on the back of her panties again and again as she hollered and cursed.
“You are a big bully and a son of a bitch!”
He placed his hand against her warm cheeks. “What. Did. You. Say. About. My. Mother?”
She tried to scramble away from him. “I’m sorry. I lost my temper. I didn’t mean… ooof!”
He tipped her over farther, yanked her panties down, and brought his palm crashing onto her bare bottom.
“Yeow!” she shrieked.
He made sure to leave no portion of her bottom untouched over the next two minutes. When he had finished,she lay panting in a heap over his lap. All the fight had gone out of her, and her bottom looked scorched and red. He could feel the heat rising from her backside. He rubbed her ass to soothe the sting and signal it was over.
The first snowflake reminded him of their location.Crap!He pulled her to her feet and yanked her panties up and her skirt down. She whimpered at his rough treatment, but he made no move to apologize. The storm was moving in fast.
“We have to get back to my place before this blizzard hits,” he growled. “Even I have a tough time tracking in this weather.”
She nodded her head, wiped her tears away, and moved to grab the packs.
