He didn’t wait for her answer, spanking her again.
“Oh, God,” she groaned, her hips rocking.
“You’re a dirty girl. You like havin’ your ass spanked.”
He spanked her three more times in rapid succession.
“Simon … please.”
It would’ve been so easy to unzip his jeans and slide his cock into the tight heaven of her pussy, but he didn’t. He wanted her more than he wanted anything else in the world, but he wanted to build her up this time.
He caressed her ass again, liking that he could feel the heat and the slightly raised welt from his hand. When she started to spread her legs, he stopped so he could pull her panties back up.
“Seriously?” she grumbled, standing tall.
He turned her to face him, cupping her cheek. “Invite me over tonight.”
She narrowed her eyes, and he thought for a moment that she would deny him. “Come over tonight.”
He chuckled softly. “Are you sure you want me there?”
Violet shook her head but said, “Yes.”
Simon leaned in and kissed her, unable to resist. The kiss wasn’t quick, and it wasn’t chaste. It stirred the heat and need until it churned violently inside him, but he ignored it.
“What time will you be home?” he asked when he pulled his lips from hers.
“Around four or so.”
“I’ll be there at five. With dinner.”
“You don’t—”
He pressed two fingers to her lips to quiet her. “I’ll bring dinner, and after I fuck you, I’ll feed you.”
She gasped, her eyes dilating.
“See you tonight, Violet,” he whispered, kissing her mouth before forcing himself to walk away.
Chapter Fifteen
Violet was standing at the counter, tryingto muster the energy to grab the Swiffer so she could tackle the afternoon chores, when the bells over the door signaled the arrival of a customer.
“Welcome to Shelf Help,” she said as she turned around. “Oh. Hey.”
Archer stood just inside, his gaze skimming the space, a slow smile forming. “This is cute as fuck.”
She laughed becausecutecoming out of his mouth was actually cute.
“Thanks.”
“You own it?”
“I do, yes. I own the whole building,” she told him as he moved deeper into the store, his eyes skimming the books on the tables and shelves. “It’s my backup plan.”
He turned to look at her. “It’s a very smart investment.”
“Yeah. It pays the bills. If you’re thinkin’ about openin’ a bookstore in a small town, I might suggest you consideranythingelse.”
