Kellan Jones was a man who expected to be obeyed.
In everything.
What does it matter if she obeys you or not? She’s not yours to command.
Shit.
He needed to get far away from her. He didn’t like how she was affecting him.
“My dog,” she huffed.
“What?” Eli asked. “Was he attacking you?”
Kellan ran his gaze over her, glad for the fact that Haven council kept their public areas well-lit.
“No, he wasn’t attacking me,” she said with exasperation.
“Then why did you yell out?” Eli asked.
“Because I opened my eyes and saw a man peering in the window of my car in the middle of the night. That’s why I screamed for help.”
Kellan could hear the unspoken ‘idiot’ in her voice.
Eli huffed. “That’s why you screamed? Because I was checking up on you?”
“Um, how did I know what you were doing or who you were? All I saw was someone staring at me. You scared the hell out of me! What did you think you were doing?”
She put her hands on her hips as she glared up at them both.
The urge to put her over his knee and give her a good hard spanking struck him.
Shit.
When had he last had that urge? So long ago he could barely remember. He was a member of their local BDSM club, but he usually left the discipline up to Eli. If he even bothered to play, which he hadn’t in a long time.
But now . . . yeah, maybe he was starting to see the appeal in spanking a naughty brat.
“What are you doing?” Eli asked. “Why are you parked here? It isn’t safe to be in a public park on your own at night.”
“I just stopped here for a few minutes. I’ll be leaving soon.” She gave them both a cool look.
She was lying.
She was good at it. But Kellan was better. He’d taken a course on reading body language and he was certain of it.
“Don’t lie,” he ordered in a low voice.
The girl flinched and gave him a wary look.
Yes. You should be wary.
“You said you opened your eyes,” Kellan pointed out. “Which meant you were asleep or trying to get asleep.”
Her eyes widened and he knew he was right.
“What the fuck?” Eli said, making her jump. A whine came from in the car.
Shit. Did she really have an animal in there?
