He let out a choked noise that sort of sounded like a laugh, sitting on an armchair with her on his lap.
“Look at me, Bumblebee.”
“I really don’t want to.”
“Well, I want you to,” he said. “And I’m more stubborn than you are.”
“I’m not sure that’s true.”
“It is true. Eyes on me.”
“Can I have a tissue first to clean up?”
He shifted, reaching over. She held up a hand without looking.
“Nope. Lean back and look at me.”
With a grumble, she did as he said. The expression on his face wasn’t one of barely veiled disgust. Instead, he appeared unexpectedly tender.
He held her chin with one hand while he used the tissue he’d grabbed to clean her up.
Brand Starr, the multi-millionaire, three-time Grammy winning rock star, was wiping up her tears and snot.
Perhaps it should have been embarrassing.
But he was being so caring that it kept her mesmerised. She couldn’t look away from him, even when he reached for another tissue and held it to her nose.
“Blow, Bumblebee.”
“I really think I should do that.” She was a snotty, gross mess.
“Blow,” he said more firmly.
So, she blew, knowing her cheeks were likely going as red as her nose. She flinched slightly as he wiped her nose.
“We need to put some cream on your nose.”
“Why do you even want me right now? I look awful!”
“I don’t think anyone looks their best when they’re ill?—”
“I knew it! I’m disgusting!”
He frowned. “You didn’t let me finish. And you are in no way disgusting. That’s two.” He held up a finger.
“Two?” she queried. “Two what? Two spanks?”
Okay. She could handle that.
“Two punishments. I haven’t decided how many spanks you’ll get for each punishment since I don’t know your pain tolerance. Everyone is different. Some people can barely handle five spanks. Others need about fifty.”
“Fifty? You’re making that up!”
“Nope. Guessing your pain tolerance isn’t that high.”
“You’d guess right. I’d never sit again.”
“Slight exaggeration.” His lips twitched as he brushed her hair off her face.
