She glanced back as she settled herself on the bench. “Not at all. She just said it would be all spankings and growls about discipline. Lucky for you I like those things. You would be in trouble otherwise.”
Oh, he knew. He’d been in such trouble before he’d met her. He’d thought it was because his life was shit, and now he knew it was because none of the other women had been her. He’d had girlfriends he’d cared for, a wife he’d tried to be a partner to, but none of them filled the empty space inside him.
He went to the table where Cooper had done exactly what he’d promised. Dare’s new kit was laid out for him. Where to start? He’d been so busy he hadn’t had time to spend hours planning out this time with her. That would change at some point. He would dedicate endless hours to thinking up new ways to torture his sweet sub.
Tonight he would start out simple. He laid a slap against her ass and watched a shudder go through her.
“Something is bothering you this evening.” Another smack. And another.
He saw her hands tighten around the arms of the bench. This particular apparatus leveled down from her pelvis, leaving her gorgeous ass in the air and her torso on an incline, breasts dangling on either side of the slender bench.
“I’m fine now. I thought this could be awkward, but it was fine. I’ve never been in a club with my cousin before,” she said.
There was something in her tone he didn’t like, a certain flatness, but she’d never lied to him so he wouldn’t accuse her now. He slapped her ass again, watching her skin turn pink. “Are you worried I’ll be angry she’s been playing Brian? It’s obvious she’s in love with Cooper.”
She muttered something under her breath.
That earned her a rapid succession of smacks to her cheeks and the fleshy part of her upper thighs. “When we’re playing, you’re honest with me. No muttering. You say what you need to say.”
The words came out between gritted teeth. “I said I wish it was obvious to her, and yes, I’m worried you’re going to be upset with me when my cousin breaks your friend’s heart. I don’t understand her sometimes. She’s been in love with Cooper for years, but she won’t give in, and she won’t let him go. I’m afraid she used Brian to make him jealous.”
If the man had been jealous, he hadn’t shown it. Another smack. She would be warming up now, giving over to the pain and the release it could grant her. “I don’t care what happens between Brian and your cousin. They’re adults. They can figure it out. It won’t affect the way I feel about you at all.”
He let his hand slide up her right thigh to the apex of her legs, his fingers brushing against her pussy. Sure enough, she was wet and getting wetter with every smack of his hand.
“We don’t have to think about it for another week or so, Dare. I’ll wear your collar. I’ll be anything you want me to be. If you still feel the same way about me at the end of the week, we’ll need to talk,” she whispered.
“I’ll still feel the same way.” Or he’d be more in love with her.
She shook her head. “I was wrong. We can’t talk tonight. I need to feel. Make me feel, Dare. Make me cry. I need it. I need you to manhandle me and fuck me hard. I know my safe word and I’ll use it, but otherwise, do your worst.”
She was on some kind of edge and he didn’t understand it, but he knew a plea for help, and he would never deny hers.
He picked up the paddle he’d bought. It was a nasty piece of business, with holes in it to increase the ache it would bring. Tasha, he’d found, liked a big bite of pain. And a bit of fantasy took her out of her head and let her enjoy the sex more. She needed a nasty Dom. He could give her that. He showed her the paddle. “Did you think you could get away with what you did this afternoon? Your body belongs to me. You do not show it off to anyone else.”
She bit her bottom lip, and he saw the moment she gave in to the fantasy. She knew damn well he wasn’t some so-called alpha male who demanded she keep her beauty and light hidden so another man could never see it. “I’m sorry, Sir. Please forgive me. I was only trying to help.”
“This will remind you who you belong to.” He moved back, and her whole body tensed right before he brought the paddle down on the center of her ass.
