She should have. She really, really should have.
He slid her down his body once they were in his bedroom, holding her steady until she had her balance. She stared up at him in trepidation.
He was in alpha male mode right now.
His face was tight. Stern. Dominant.
And her insides lit on fire. She didn’t know why, but she liked him like this. Not all the time. Just sometimes.
She also kind of wanted to run and pee herself. All at the same time.
“Strip.”
“Maybe we can talk about this,” she prevaricated as she inched away from him.
But he stood between her and the door. The only place to go was the bathroom and the window in there wasn’t large enough to climb out of.
Do you really want to escape?
That would be nope.
“That’s not your safeword. Strip.”
Holy. Heck.
Deciding she’d have to reap what she’d sowed, she stripped out of her clothes, standing in front of him naked.
A sense of shyness came over her as he took off his own top. He stared at her, studied her. When she tried to cover her breasts, he pushed her hand away. Then he sat on the bed and patted his lap.
“Over you come.”
She stepped away. “What are you doing?”
“Giving you a spanking.”
“Why?”
He gave her an incredulous look. “You know why. Because you left the Ranch without me.”
“Stefan isn’t a risk anymore. And I’m safe.”
He scowled. “You’re not supposed to go into town on your own. I would have taken you in if you’d asked.”
“And if I want to get a job? What then?”
He glanced away, his jaw tight.
Lilac walked closer, stepping between his thighs. She cupped his chin, tilting his head up. “It’s time to loosen security up a bit. I know you’re scared of something happening to me and I’m sorry I left like I did. But I’ve tried to talk to you about this many times, but you don’t want to listen. I’m all right now. I’m safe. You made me safe.”
“I didn’t, though. You could have died! Right now, you could be with him.”
She straddled his legs, and he grasped hold of her hips. “But I’m not. I’m here with you. And I need you to remember that I’m not fragile.”
Tanner gave her a look.
“Okay, I’m a little fragile, but I won’t break and even if I leave the Ranch, I’m always going to come home to you. Because you are my home.”
Leaning in, she kissed him. It wasn’t long before he took over, turning the kiss into something hard and wild.
