“Why? Because I can. Because you offered.”
“No. No! That’s not what I meant.” I lifted my head, trying to find anything I could use as a weapon. Oh, yeah. What did I think I would manage to do, beat the brute over the head? What good would that do?
My words faded away as he moved down a hallway, passing by two open doors to the last one. When he walked inside, I was thrown by the luxuriousness of the room. Gorgeous ornate and huge furniture was positioned against almost every wall, the deep shade of purple on the walls as shocking as what I was dealing with.
The room didn’t seem to suit him at all. He stopped just inside, turning just enough I was able to see the massive bed. Holy shit, it was huge, the vivid purple comforter thick, the material like velvet. I pushed against his back, tossing my head over my shoulder when I felt him yanking one tennis shoe off my foot.
“What are you doing?”
“If we’re going to become acquainted then we’ll need to be more comfortable.” His words were a statement, the thickness of his accent sliding over me like he’d yanked the comforter from the bed, sliding it against my naked skin. Girl, what did you get yourself in the middle of? There was no dignified answer.
I was dizzy, my stomach full of butterflies.
After yanking off my other shoe and both socks, tossing them aside as if his effort was bothersome, he dumped me directly into the middle of the bed. I sank into the softness, stunned from the revelation of what was about to happen.
Move. Get a grip.
My little voice was jarring.
I wasted no time, scrambling to try to get to the other side. What was I thinking? He simply wrapped his fingers around my ankle, tugging me all the way back to the edge.
“I can see I’m going to need to punish you even more before we can enjoy each other’s company.”
“This is crazy. You don’t have control over me.”
Kirill crawled onto the bed, hovering over me possessively. He snagged my hair, holding me in place as he rolled the tips of his other fingers down my spine, moving them along my buttocks then sliding them underneath.
“Oh,” I whimpered, taking shallow breaths as he eased his hand between my legs. I was overcome with a deliriously exciting rush of vibrations, clawing the covering as he rubbed up and down the length of my pussy. Everything he was doing added to the extreme embarrassment. The bastard now knew that his roughness had enticed me, luring me into his darkness. I closed my eyes, trembling as he slid a single finger under the thin elastic. His touch was surprisingly gentle, the tip tickling my clit as he swirled it around the tender bud several times.
As he held me, he took his time continuing the spanking, moving his hand from one side to the other. I couldn’t breathe, had no sense of what I’d been thinking, but as the scent of my desire floated between us, I was mortified.
“Yes, my good girl.” With every hard crack of his hand, I fell more and more into a blissful state, my mind a complete blur. The pain had already morphed into something sinfully delicious, which was crazy.
He gave me six more, each smack of his hand harder than the one before. By that point, I could no longer breathe easily.
Everything about the man aroused me, which was horrible to admit to myself. He took his time, enjoying the moment, the rumble coming from his chest indicating his hunger was increasing. When he pulled his hand away, a ragged breath escaped my mouth.
“That’s where you’re wrong, my sweet, delicious Candy. As of now, I’ve become your protector.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“That means I never intend on letting you go.”
