I reply, "That's right, pet. You're going to see sides of me you never knew existed. But before we start, what is it you think I want to do to you right now?"
Confusion replaces shock. "I-I..."
I tighten my grip over her wrists.
"Riggs," she whispers, scrunching her beautiful face.
I put my mouth an inch from hers, wanting to kiss her but knowing if I do, it'll mess everything up. And there's no do-overs in my world. I have one chance to break her. There won't be any way of using her to destroy her father if I act like a little boy and give in to my raging hard-on.
Her gaze drifts to my lips.
My erection strains against my zipper and I fight the debate.
No, I can't afford either scenario to blow up, just to give in to the temptation of coming inside her.
I ignore my aching cock and release her, demanding, "Stand up."
She hesitates.
I reach down, grip her armpits, and lift her to her feet.
"Riggs?"
I spin her, push her over the table, and splay my hand across her spine.
"Riggs, what are you doing?" she cries out, turning her head to look at me, her cheek pressed against the wood.
I palm her ass, then lean over her, asserting, "This cheap, fake leather, along with this gaudy bra, is to never again be on your body. Do you understand me?"
She stays silent.
"When I talk to you, I expect answers," I warn.
She nods, blinking hard. She manages, "I understand."
"You will never wear anything unless I approve it. Are we clear?"
Her lips quiver. She closes her eyes.
I slam my hand on the table next to her face.
She jumps, and her eyes glisten.
"Answer me," I threaten.
"Y-yes," she replies.
"Good girl," I praise, dragging my knuckles down her spine. I step back and demand, "Turn over."
She slowly spins, her expression both defiant and fearful, with confusion increasing by the second.
I make a circular motion with my finger, ordering, "Take it off."
She hesitates.
"I won't tell you again without imprinting my hand on your ass," I warn, even though when I eventually spank her, she'll love it so much she'll beg me to do it some more.
She swallows hard.
