He delivered another spank. This one harder. The crack left her stunned.
And him aroused.
Jesus, that couldn’t be all him, could it?
His massive erection pressed against her stomach.
This man could do unspeakable things to her, and she’d be powerless to stop him. Hell, she was powerless to stop him.
As he curled his fingers against her scalp, he tugged her hair more, making her neck arch.
“Are you going to behave now?” He sounded winded, as if he’d run a marathon. Up a mountain. Carrying a heavy pack.
Unable to speak around the throb of her heart in her throat, she nodded.
“Say the words, Meadow, or I’ll spank you again.”
A shudder tore through her. “Yes…sir.”
She could bite off her own tongue for giving him that level of respect; he didn’t deserve it. She only reserved such things for her father—if she was pressured into it.
His hand left her hair—and her ass too. He grabbed her by the shoulders and whipped her upright. She landed in her seat with a soft thump, a puff of air escaping her lungs.
He didn’t look at her.
She wouldn’t meet his eyes even if she could look away from the bulge in the front of his jeans.
She knew firsthand just how hard he was.
And she was dripping wet.
The atmosphere in the truck was loaded. Electrically charged. What had just happened between them?
He reached for the gearshift just as she moved a hand to touch him.
“Put your seatbelt on.” His growl had her yanking her hand back into her lap. She twisted her fingers together, wavering between the urge to reach back and rub her still stinging buttocks or to plunge her fingers into her pussy and rub herself to completion.
That had to be the alcohol talking. No way was she turned on by what Colton had just done to her.
He seemed to be waiting for her to obey his command. Seeing no way around it, she drew the seatbelt into place. When he pulled onto the road, he clenched and unclenched his jaw. The tendon in the crease popped in and out. In and out. Flickering in the ring of light coming from the dashboard.
Suddenly, he swung his head to pierce her in his gaze. The hard planes of his face were accented by shadows the color of granite.
“What the hell were you thinking, Meadow? Drinking too much and toying with that biker? Did you even know his name?”
For as long as she could remember, people looked down on her. Said she couldn’t make her own choices about her life. She thought that would end the minute she became an official adult, but that never happened. Every birthday that passed, she was still too young and stupid in their eyes.
She gripped the hem of her skirt and attempted to wiggle it down her thighs more. Why had she worn such a short skirt?
He issued a humorless laugh. “Why bother now?” He twitched a hand toward her, thought better of it, and wrapped his fingers around the wheel again.
“I’m an adult.”
“Adults don’t wait for their father to go away on a trip and then get drunk and flirt with danger at the local bar.”
She threw her hands in the air, as trapped as she’d ever felt. Even being held down on Colton’s lap hadn’t made her feel as helpless as she did right this minute when it came to her lack of power over her own life.
Her mother was dead. Her brother too. When he was around, her father never let her out of his sight. She was supposed to take over the ranch someday, but everybody knew he’d never trust her with it. The family legacy would die with her generation.
