“Right.”
“Why? Do you miss them?” he asks as we arrive at our floor.
“Miss your pet python or your other pets that you treated better than your own mother? Uh, no,” I reply.
I kind of like Princess, his very large but very tame ball python.
“Sure,” he says, shaking his head. “You expect me to believe that?”
I give him a sly smile.
And before I know it, we’re back in the penthouse.
And I’m naked.
Wordlessly he turns from me and heads to the bathroom.
I push myself up on my elbows and look around the room.
The sound of running water. The scent of roses…
And then he’s back in the room, fully clothed, and staring at me with a fire kindling in his eyes that stokes my own.
Oooh, boy.
The pounding flow of water behind me piques my curiosity. What…isthat?
“Touch yourself,” he says as he grasps the hem of his shirt and gives it a tug. The tee comes off in one pull and he tosses it on the bed.
He knows this makes me squirm which is exactly why he’s doing it.
I hesitate. Spread my legs. Stare at him.
“What happens if you disobey, baby?” he asks in a deep, low voice laced with warning.
“I don’t know,” I tease, my words faltering, heart pounding. “Why don’t you show me?”
Standing in front of me, his eyes never leaving mine, he shakes his head from side to side as he slowly removes his belt.
“You know I won’t be baited, Cosette.”
Sure he will. He fucking loves this.
“Mmm. Isee.”
In two steps he’s by my side and I’m on my knees, hands splayed in front of me. With his sharp tap to my inner thighs, I spread my legs.
The first swish warns me to brace just as the smack of his belt lands on my thighs.
“I’ve done my homework,” he says. “I know you can take it.” Another hardthwackof the belt has me squirming. “And I further know that you like it. You’re a good girl, taking my belt.” I squirm to get away from the bite of leather when his warm, rough hand caresses the area he just whipped. My belly warms to molten honey, his praise dripping down over every inch of my exposed body.
“Just like that, baby. Mmm,” he says when I spread my legs wider as if to beg him for more. “That’s exactly what I want from you. You know it’s actually good for a pregnant woman to be overpowered like this.”
“And spanked?”
Anotherthwackof the belt has me hissing in a breath while he continues. “That endorphin rush is good for you and the baby.”
“Is that right?”
