Chapter24
Stubborn as always.
Grayson
She didn’t listen.
But that isn’t new.
She never fucking listened, to begin with, and least of all to me.
I was running late, expecting her to be sitting at the bus stop, but she isn’t.
She’s gone.
Of course she is.
She likes to defy me, and I should spank her for her attitude.
Getting in my car, I drive in the direction of her house and find her almost home. Walking. By herself. I slow the car, and she spots me, her eyes narrowing.
“Get lost,” she yells.
I put the car in park and swing open the door. As I do, she starts to run. Ha, yeah, that’s not happening. Did I forget to mention my favorite workout in school was running track?
But fuck, she is fast.
Her bag drops, and she books it even faster. My legs pump harder before I manage to catch her. Just as I slide my hand around her waist, we both fall to the ground. I spin so I take the brunt of the fall, and she lands on my chest. Her eyes—those hypnotic eyes—find mine, and they are furious.
“You should have waited for the bus,” I scold.
“You should go to your girlfriend,” she snaps back as she tries to get up. I hold her to me as the porch light from a house flicks on as we lie on someone’s lawn.
“Jealous, jealous.” I tsk.
“Control freak, control freak,” she whispers. “Now, let me up.”
“I told you not to walk home. It’s not safe.”
“Yeah, well, as you are aware, I don’t take orders from men.” Avani tries to push away again, but I tighten my hold. “Your damn cock is poking me.”
“Well, stop wiggling on it. You’re making him happy.”
Avani mutters something under her breath before I reach down and grab her ass. She stills instantly.
“What are you doing?” she asks breathily.
“You didn’t behave, and since you seem to have a fixation on spanking, I figured you needed a lesson in obedience.” I smile at her.
Her head whips around, and she looks back at my hands on her ass.
“If you spank me, so help me God, Grayson…”
I lift my hand and smack her once.
Avani’s eyes go wide, and she wiggles against me again.
Big mistake.
