Harvey shot her a look.
Right. She guessed the only one to walk past would be Crackling.
Havery sat on the sofa and drew her between his open legs. He reached for the top of her pants, undoing them and pulling them down her legs. Then he helped her step out of them, leaving her in just a white satin shirt and black lacy underwear.
He moved so she was lying over him with her stomach on his thighs, and her legs and torso resting on the sofa on either side of him.
Yep. This was even more embarrassing than she’d actually imagined, especially when he pulled her shirt up her back and then drew her underwear down, baring her bottom.
Holy moly.
That felt so weird.
She tensed, waiting for the first smack of his hand. But it never came. Instead, he just rubbed her bottom with gentle, slow movements of his hand.
“Just relax, baby. You’ll make it worse if you tense up.”
“This isn’t exactly a relaxing position,” she said.
“It isn’t? Then maybe I should put you into this position more often, so you start to get used to it.”
Urgh, that sounded terrible. She didn’t want that, so she forced herself to relax, and his hand moved away from her bottom.
Smack!
His hand landed on her bottom cheek.
Ouch, that damn well hurt.
But he didn’t stop. She wasn’t getting just one smack, apparently. Several more landed in quick succession.
Then he paused to rub her bottom again.
“Wow, that was painful,” she said, even though it wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. “I’ll make sure I never do anything naughty again. I don’t want anything like that to happen again.”
She attempted to get off his lap, but he held her still.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.
“The spanking is over, so I thought I’d just go get dressed and then take Crackling for a walk.”
“The spanking isn’t finished,” he told her.
“It’s not? Then why did you stop?”
“I wanted to just pause for a moment to give you a chance to say anything if you needed to, but that wasn’t much of a spanking, baby. So lay yourself back down.”
Hell, that wasn’t cool. She slumped back down over his lap, and he rubbed her bottom again. “Just relax.”
She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, because she wanted to get this over and done with as quickly as possible.
He slapped his hand down on her ass again.
Smack, smack, smack.
Holy heck, that was really starting to burn. Her bottom was hot and throbbing. She started wriggling around, wanting to find some relief, but his hand kept laying smack after smack on her poor bottom.
Tears dripped down her face, and she finally just lay there, accepting that the spanking was going to continue for as long as he wanted it to.
“That’s a good girl,” he told her as he stopped and rubbed her bottom again. “You’re being such a good girl. You’re taking your spanking so well. I’m so proud of you.”
He was proud of her for taking her spanking well? That was a little bit weird. But even stranger still was the fact that she liked hearing those words of praise from him. It wasn’t like she’d done anything amazing. She just laid here and let herself be walloped.
He moved her so she was sitting on his lap, facing him, with her legs spread over his. She buried her face in his chest, and he just held her, rubbing his hand up and down her back.
Lily sunk into his touch, letting the safety of his arms surround her. He always had a way of making her feel protected and cherished.
“You did so well. I’m so proud of you. Do you feel better now?”
No, she didn’t feel better. Her bottom was damn sore.
But then she realized he might not mean physically. He might mean on the inside. Lily paused and took note of where her feelings were at. She suddenly realized that some of that guilt was gone, and she did feel a lot more free. She felt lighter.
Leaning back, she stared at him. “I do feel better. I feel lighter, like something’s been lifted off me.”
He smiled and pushed her hair back behind her ears. “Good. Don’t ever do that to me again, Lily. You’re my everything, my entire world. All right? And I never want to live without you.”
“I never want to live without you either.”
He cupped her face between his hands, kissing her lightly. Then she parted her lips, hoping he’d deepen the kiss. He slid his tongue between her lips as his hand reached up to lightly cup her breast.
This was it.
He was finally going to have sex with her. Excitement rushed through her.
And then he drew back. “I’m going to make us some dinner. Why don’t you go walk Crackling?”
God damn it.
