After dragging my gaze down her body at her question, I land on her swollen breasts and the hardened nipples.
I want so many things, I think to myself.
Uh oh. Plan backfiring. Focus!
I force myself out of the trance her body trapped me in and focus on the space between her eyes.
“Get up. I have a meeting in ten minutes.”
Jay yawns and lays her head back down, facing away from me. “That sounds like a you’ problem.”
The way she fights me every step of the way even though she has no power in this situation is getting old.
Feared, not loved. Maybe I need to remind her.
“It’s not a problem for me. But little Casey, on the other hand...” I click my teeth.
Like a horror movie, the mattress dips as she slowly turns over and sits up. Her mouth and eyes are wide. “What did you just say?”
“Did you think I didn’t know about her?”
The quickened thumping of her heartbeat reaches my ears. “I don’t want to hurt her, but that’s up to you.”
“You’re bluffing.”
I shrug. I know I’m not. But if she loves this pup as much as I know she does, she won’t take any chances. “Fuck around and find out.” Arms crossed, I lean in and sneer, “I dare you.”
Her nostrils flare, and her lips press into a hard line. As angry as she may be, nothing can hide the fear behind her eyes. And it’s that same fear that is going to keep her compliant.
“Now that we understand each other... get up, or I’ll drag you there myself.”
She narrows her eyes at me.
“Suit yourself.” I scoop her up.
Jay kicks and screams as I hoist her over my shoulder.
“Put me down!”
Ignoring her pleas, I carry her out of the room and down the hall.
Jay has an impressive set of lungs something I wouldn’t mind testing out for myself. How many hours could she scream like that for?
As much as I appreciate her range, it’s a nuisance. I land a quick and hard smack to her backside, and she stops squirming.
A horrified gasp escapes her lips. “Did you just spank me?”
I set her down. Her faux-appalled expression doesn’t match her dilated pupils and blushed cheeks.
I hold a finger in front of her face. “That’s one. Don’t test me today. You won’t like the outcome.”
Jay goes to open her mouth, but I wave a finger in her face.
“Uh, uh, uh. Remember, little Casey . . .”
Her jaw closes shut at the second mention. She inhales compliance then rolls her shoulders back as she exhales her pride, lifting her chin. “How many do I get?”
I expected a smart-aleck response. Instead, she sounds... obedient. My wolf paces, wanting to pounce and bury myself into her from her submission.
