"As far as your second comment, given your earlier indiscretions, the punishment will fit your bad behavior. Undress."
"What?" She jerked around to face me, taking a few steps further away. "Why?"
"You are not to question any of my orders. Is that clear?"
"Crystal."
Her face was pinched, venom in her eyes. When she hesitated, I snapped my head in her direction. "You have one last chance to obey me or I assure you that your punishment will be much worse."
She blinked several times, her lower lip quivering but to her credit, she obeyed, her fingers stiff as she began to undress.
I turned away, selecting the tether I planned on using. I had no intentions of locking her in the room or keeping her chained to any bed, with the exception of tonight. A period of time spent alone should enable her to better understand her circumstances. I heard the slight rustle and every part of me was raging with hunger, my balls tightening.
When I turned around, the sight of her took my breath away. The bold and fiery woman seemed demure, almost tiny as she attempted to cover her breasts with one arm, her other hand fanned out over her luscious mound. What attracted me the most was the long line of her neck, the chiseled bones of her shoulders and the very delicate fingers used to create such sensual music.
Valencia tossed her head, still defiant, so regal in her mannerisms. She wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. She dropped her gaze to what was in my hand, her eyes opening wide only briefly. "Whatever you're going to do, just do it."
I almost chuckled at her audacity, the fierceness that I would break. "Lie down on the bed."
My command was met with an instant huff, but she knew better than to cross me, plopping down and lifting her knees. "There."
I ignored the fact my cock was pressing hard against my zipper, merely walking closer. "I asked you to lie down."
She twisted her mouth, unsaid words obviously on the tip of her tongue. Finally, she positioned herself in the middle of the bed, her arms at her sides. "What are you doing?"
"What did I say to you? You will not question my commands. Turn over."
I could tell she was furious as well as fearful but did as she was told, her entire body trembling.
"Hands over your head." I inched closer, fingering the leather strap on the shackles I'd selected.
One at a time she positioned her arms barely inches over her head, taking deep breaths before burying her face into the comforter.
I eased onto the bed, taking one wrist into my hand. She clenched her fists, kicking her feet several times. I brushed the tips of my fingers down her spine, biting back a snarl when she flinched. "What you're going to learn is that it will be much easier for you to obey my commands."
"Sure."
Her muffled answer should have pissed me off; however, her spirit was far too desirable.
"I will make you a promise that no one will hurt you, including myself. For that, you must place your trust in me."
"How can I trust you after what you've done?" she asked, the sound whispered.
"I saved your life, Valencia, and you will learn that I'm the only man you can count on." I eased the leather around her wrist, refusing to acknowledge her angry stare. After the buckle was fastened, I moved around the bed to the other side. This time, her arm was limp, her act of indifference actually giving me a smile.
After securing her, I ran my hand down her spine once again, using the tip of my index finger, sliding it down the cleft of her beautiful bottom. She tensed once again, taking gulping breaths while I envisioned the time we'd shared before, the pleasure unlike anything I'd ever experienced. I traced the roundness of her bottom before caressing her skin. "You deserve a hard spanking. Don't you agree?"
"No!"
"I'll ask you again and you will answer me truthfully. Do you deserve a hard spanking for your misbehavior?"
"Damn you. Damn you!"
The two hard cracks against her ass cheeks forced a whimper from her mouth, her hands clenching then flexing. "Valencia?"
"Yes. Okay. Is that what you want to hear?"
"I want you to acknowledge that what you did was harmful."
She threw her head around, trying to look me in the eye. "Fine. I said I'm sorry. I was just scared."
"There is no reason for you to be frightened. At least not of me." I smacked her ass several times, enjoying the building heat on my skin. Every touch was electrifying, my heart rate skyrocketing.
Valencia buried her head once again, struggling with her bindings as I continued with spanking her, taking my time moving from one ass cheek to the other. The blossom of red drove me nearly mad with desire, my heart racing, my cock pushing hard against the thin linen of my trousers. I would have to use every ounce of restraint to keep from taking her right now.
I peppered her ass with several more, intoxicated from the scent of her sweet pussy. "Are you wet for me?"
"No."
As I eased her legs apart, the glimpse of her pretty pink pussy was almost too much to bear. I slid my fingers across her swollen folds, issuing a primal growl. "Never lie to me, Valencia. I can take your defiance and your latent hostility, but you will never lie. To me, that is a cardinal sin." The moment I eased my fingers just inside, she moaned, her back arching. Every cell was ignited, the fire raging, the beast deep within famished. I pumped several times, adding a second then third finger, drunk on my desire.
She wiggled, undulating her hips even as she clenched her fists, fighting the urge that I knew was building. "Oh..."
After several additional savage plunges, I pulled out completely. "Only well-trained little girls get what they crave."
"Damn you!"
I moved into a standing position, using my left hand and easing hair from her damp face. "As I told you, I'm in charge." I allowed her to watch as I slipped my fingers into my mouth, savoring the delicious flavor.
