That’s it.
“You’ll be safe at my home,” I told her, trying to calm her down. “We have security, and you will not have to worry about anything at all.”
“What are you going to do with me?” she snarled, her arms tightening over her chest.
She was the very picture of a pouty girl who needed her bare bottom spanked bright red.
“I am not going to hurt you,” I assured her, knowing exactly what was running through her mind. “But you do need to be punished, malyshka.”
“What does that mean?” she pressed. For the briefest of seconds, there was a flash of worry that crossed over her face.
Good.
She should be nervous.
I would never hurt her, but the spanking I gave her was going to sting quite a bit.
“You’ll find out when we get to my home,” I answered.
Her bottom lip jutted out in a pretty little pout, and I had to fight the urge to reach over, grab her chin and kiss her.
I shook my head.
I was going to take care of her. That’s all this was. When things were handled, I’d send her somewhere safe, but until then, she’d remain with me.
Riley didn’t say anything for the rest of the drive, and I didn’t press the matter. I had a feeling she’d be saying plenty when she finally got what she had coming.
When we pulled up the driveway and the gates to my home slowly swung open, she stared in awe.
I smiled.
It wasn’t the largest house in Boston, but it was still pretty nice. I wasn’t one to show off my wealth, but from the look on her face, it was clear that Riley had never lived in luxury.
The more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to know about her.
“This is your home?” she asked as I parked the car.
“Yes,” I said. “Now, let’s go inside and then you and I can have a little discussion about what comes next.”
CHAPTER 5
Riley
I didn’t like the insinuation in his tone. I glanced back at him, but his expression was unreadable.
What the fuck had that meant?
Chewing my lip, I studied him for a bit longer. Several of the things he said were running on repeat in my head, but I couldn’t make any sense of them.
One single sentence stuck out the most, though.
You need to be punished.
Despite myself, I found my curiosity swirling within me, my affliction for running right into the face of danger mounting with every passing second. It felt dangerous and wrong, yet I couldn’t shake the feeling of wanting to know more.
My heart beat a bit frantically in my chest, and I glared at Maxim hoping it’d make him say something, anything really to explain himself, but he didn’t say a word.
With a huff, I turned away and looked out the window. I tightened my arms across my chest and chewed on the inside of my cheek.
