“What is it, Finn? Whenever I talk about my feelings or about a future together, you get a worried look on your face, and your body posture gets tense.”
“I just don’t want you to feel obligated. This has been awfully intense and fast, and maybe we’re just getting caught up in the emotional fallout. Maybe I should leave with Christian and give us both some breathing space.”
“I see,” Croft said, clucking his tongue.
He threw the covers back and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He’d already been erect when he woke but had been willing to let her have something to eat before he took her hard and fast. Apparently, more fucking wasn’t what she needed. That was fine with him. He was more than able to give her all she needed. He reached for the plate and took it and the beer from her hands, placing them carefully on the side table next to the bed. Before she could reach or pull away, he had seized her wrist and dragged her across his lap.
He raised his hand and brought it down sharply onto the full measure of her bottom.
“Ouch! What the hell was that for?” she cried in outrage.
He swatted her behind several more times with considerable strength. When Finn struggled to get away, he trapped her legs with his and placed his non-spanking hand in the middle of her back to hold her in place. Croft laid down a series of blows across her backside meant to leave a lasting impression. This wasn’t thefirst time she’d questioned his commitment to her, but it was damn sure going to be the last.
“Croft, stop. That hurts.”
“Yeah? Well, so does having you doubt me.”
“Wh-What do you mean?”
“What I mean, Finlay Reid, is you and I are going to come to a meeting of the minds about our relationship. You keep reminding me it’s been fast. I agree, but I think in the best relationships, it happens that way. I think two souls meet, and they just know. Then just now, you think I feel obligated to fuck you. For what reason? Do you think I fuck all the female clients we take on?”
“For all I know, you do,” Finn said, going on the offensive.
“You nasty tongued viper,” he said angrily before taking a deep breath to get his own temper under control. “What have I ever done to make you think I have had any interest whatsoever in any woman but you since we met?”
Croft continued to pepper her quickly reddening globes with harsh strikes.
“It occurs to me, I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion that I love you. However, you have never expressed your feelings for me.”
“Right now, I don’t even like you, much less love you. Now, let me up,” Finn snarled.
She was getting angry. Good. He meant to spank her through that anger, right past her resistance, and into acceptance.
“Not a chance. The fact is I know how you feel.”
“You can’t, possibly. I don’t even know how I feel.”
“The hell you don’t,” he growled. “You know exactly how you feel, but it scares the shit out of you, and you just don’t want to admit it. You think when you admit you love me, you’re agreeing you understand just which one of us is dominant and which one is submissive. I got a hot news flash for you, sweetheart—you’regoing to settle down and mind me. And for the record, your big brother said you have a nasty habit of not being completely forthcoming about things. You do that to me again, and I’ll give your sweet backside a taste of leather I don’t think it’ll care for.”
“Stop it,” Finn said desperately.
“No. Tell me you love me.”
“I won’t.”
“You will. Tell me.”
Croft laid into her, increasing the amount of strength he used to inflict each blow to her backside. Finn yowled and began to cry. She wasn’t yet ready to yield, but he had no intention of letting her up or seeing to the need he could feel growing between her legs until she did.
“Give it up, Finn. Say it.”
“I hate you,” she shrieked.
“You say that again, and I will let you up… just long enough to wash your mouth out with soap for lying to me and then take my belt to welt your ass. Now, damn it, tell me you love me.”
“Fine,” she wailed right before she began to cry. “I do. I love you. I don’t want to, but I do.”
He continued to punish her.
