Jordan grabbed her hips and turned her to face his bed. Without warning, he pushed her forward. Riley inhaled sharply as she hit the bed. Her arms and legs were sprawled out from trying to catch herself.
Riley brought her arms up under herself, starting to turn onto her back. Jordan stopped her by pushing his hand down on her lower back.
“Nope, stay.”
* * * *
Riley slowly started to pull her legs closer to her body.
“I said,” his hand came down hard on her ass, “stay. You really do need to be punished, but I wouldn't be a good Master if I was without a safe word. If you call me by my surname, Ward, I'll know I've gone too far. Good?”
She turned her head to the side and answered simply. "Yes."
Jordan inhaled a deep breath, exhaling a groan. He cupped the bottom of her ass and pushed her up farther on the bed. When her hands were hanging over the far side of the bed, he pressed his hands into the back of her thighs.
“Hold on to the side of the mattress.” His tone was even but authoritative.
Riley hesitated for a second which earned her another swat to the butt. Her body jerked as she whined. The excitement in her body was almost too much for her to handle. She felt fidgety all over, and she just wanted to turn around and reach for his hardened cock. Is that wrong?
Riley wanted to see where he would take her. She wanted to see what her Master wanted from her. That word sounded better and better the more she said it in her mind, which did frighten her a little. In this moment, however, she wanted it all. Riley wanted him.
She reached up and curled her fingers around the edge of the mattress. “Yes, Sir.”
Jordan’s hands left her. “Good. Now don’t move them no matter what. Let’s see if you can follow that simple direction.”
His tone was not offensive. Riley thought she even heard some love infused with them. She wondered if she was allowed to turn her head and body so she could see him. She decided he had only given her one instruction, don’t move your hands.
Riley twisted herself so she could look back at him. Jordan looked up and a slow smile tugged on his lips. His eyes flashed as he reached down. He moved his hands up under her skirt. Riley inhaled and held the breath as he reached her panties.
His smile grew just marginally as he started to rid her of her underwear. Riley kept her legs straight as he pulled her panties completely off her. She exhaled with a slight moan. Jordan moved his stare back up to her face. His eyes seemed to darken then.
“Nice.”
Jordan’s intense tone made her pussy muscles twitch. She clenched them and the tingle in her clit grew. Her breathing was ragged as she turned back to face forward. The strain on her back was starting to hurt too much to stay sideways like that for long.
Jordan then reached down and flipped her skirt up, showing off her ass. His warm hands ran up her thighs and over her ass. Riley stifled the shiver that tried to work up her back. He squeezed her ass cheeks harshly. Riley clenched the side of the bed as she whimpered.
Her Master then released her. She heard him move away from the bed but didn’t look. She was trying to slow her breathing as she felt her pussy juices reaching her opening. Riley just wanted him to crawl on top of her, smother her with his heat, and stick his cock into her.
Jordan had other plans, it seemed. She still needed her punishment.
Chapter Twenty-Four
“My Riley. Your ass will remember this punishment.” Jordan climbed onto the bed, just to her left side.
She clenched her ass cheeks, out of reflex. Riley rubbed her head into the soft blanket under her. She was dying to be touched by him again. She would have to wait, though.
“Count.”
Riley opened her eyes just in time to find out what she was supposed to count. A loud pop sound echoed around the room. At the same time, she felt a sting on her ass. She twisted her body violently to get a glimpse of what had struck her.
“Watch those hands!” His tone was loud but not harsh.
Riley stilled immediately. Her left hand was almost completely off the mattress. After taking a slow, deep breath, she calmly turned her body to see what he held. Jordan was kneeling next to her, holding a black leather belt.
“I didn’t hear you.” Jordan let the belt lay gently on her upper thigh.
She turned back, laying her head onto the bed. Riley was breathing harshly as she huffed out the number. “One.”
“Riley, when I tell you to stay inside, you stay inside. Yes?”
She wiggled her hips back and forth, almost not meaning to. Her clit rubbed against the bed and she wanted to touch herself. Instead, she clenched the side of the mattress harder. Her fingers were starting to cramp already.
“Yes.”
Jordan let the belt come down hard on her ass again. Riley whimpered as she rubbed her head into the bed. The sting of her skin was just above mild. Jordan wasn’t hitting her hard enough for any major pain. Just enough that she took notice, and so did her pussy.
“Two,” she spoke into the blanket.
Part of her wanted him to unleash more of himself. Maybe that would be a mistake, though.
“I’ll be fair to you, but you have to respect me. Yes?” Jordan let the belt lay on her thighs again.
She turned her head to the side. “Yes.”
A few tears came to the surface and Riley wasn’t sure why. She was not in that much physical pain. Some of it was from frustration, she thought. Frustration that was growing. Part of it was guilt, though.
Jordan then ran a hand over her ass. Her skin felt overheated as his strong hand continued over her body. She whimpered and a tear slid from her eye. She hoped he knew that the tears weren’t from pain. Actually, maybe she didn’t care if he thought that.
Jordan let out a deep, slow growl as he removed his hand from her ass. Soon, his belt was coming down on her again. The pop echoed around her head and she moaned loudly while squeezing the mattress. That swat had been just a bit harder, but still not near her limit.
“Three. Sir?” Riley wanted him to give her more. Did he understand?
“Who’s the slave?”
“I am.” Her response was quick and so was his.
Jordan hit her ass with his belt and this time, he did give her more. Riley cried out, lifting her chest off the bed. That one had been harsher. Another tear fell from her face before she laid back down. She squirmed, moving her legs open and closed.
“Four!”
“And who’s the Master?” Jordan inhaled sharply and she was desperate for his hands to touch her again.
“You, Jordan. You.” Riley’s fingers hurt as she squeezed the bed harder still.
“Good.” His tone was strained.
Jordan gifted her one more hit on her ass with his belt. This one was the same as the last and Riley yelped loudly before almost constant moans fell from her lips. She squirmed against the bed more, conscious of her hands staying put.
More tears ran down her cheek. “Five.”
Jordan took a deep breath and then the belt fell gently onto her thighs. Riley tried to slow her breathing as a sob worked its way up her throat. Jordan rubbed a hand over her ass again and the sting was renewed.
“Pet, you mean more to me than you can ever fathom. If something happened to you, especially on my watch, I’d die.” His hand worked down her legs.
Riley could hear and feel the love in his words. He did care for her more than she could understand. That love and respect was starting to become part of her, too. She lessened her grip on the bed while whimpering.
“Willing sub,” Riley whispered.
“Thank you, pet.” Jordan ran his hand up her thighs but didn’t continue up to her ass.
Her Master moved his hand in between her legs then. As he neared her pussy, Riley moaned into the blanket. His fingers grazed her pussy lips and she inhaled a shaky breath. Her tears had dried up, which was the opposite of her cunt.
Jordan ran his fingers ov
er her opening a few times before slowly pressing one inside her. Riley whined as she squeezed the mattress again. He slid his finger in and out of her and her arms trembled against the bed.
“Riley, I’m not taking you gently this time. I’m going to claim you as you should be claimed.” Again, his tone was strained.
She whimpered as his finger sped up its thrusting. Her knuckles were white and in pain. She tried to let up on her grip but was having trouble now. She moaned louder. Jordan slipped his finger free of her and she exhaled a rough breath.
He crawled up closer to her head. Jordan reached down and grabbed both her hands. She held the bed tightly for a moment before letting him remove her hands. He gently massaged her fingers before setting them back down on the bed.
She felt him crawl off the side of the bed. Riley took this as a sign she was allowed to move. She slowly rolled over onto her back just in time to watch Jordan remove his shirt. He flung it across the room and then swiftly removed his boots before unzipping his pants.
“Take off your clothes, pet.”
Jordan gradually slid his pants off. His hard cock stood out, immediately. He gripped it, stroking himself several times. Riley was momentarily frozen as she watched him. Finally, she blinked rapidly trying to get her mind back.
“Yes, Master.”
Chapter Twenty-Five
Jordan held his dick as he watched Riley removing her top and soon her skirt. His cock was almost painfully hard as he waited. That punishment was, of course, lighter than it could have been, but he didn’t want to scare her. Although, Jordan had sensed that she wanted, almost needed, a bit more pain. Maybe next time, love.
He sensed a subtle change in her already. Riley was looking at him a bit differently as she dropped her final piece of clothing off the side of the bed. He saw love in her eyes. He was sure of it. That realization had a deep growl rising in his throat. Jordan lifted his chin, staring down at her.
Riley nervously shifted from knee to knee on his bed, now nude. He stroked his cock slowly as she timidly ran her hands up and down her thighs. She looked needy, in a good way.
“Lay back and get yourself wet for me.”
His pet inhaled sharply and her eyes fluttered shut for just a second. She was enjoying this as much as he was. Riley unfolded her legs and laid back. Her hands slowly moved up her stomach to her breasts where they stayed for a moment.
“I doubt I need to do more. I’m already wet.” Riley’s lips were slipping into a smirk as her hands started to move down her body.
“That may be, pet, but I need you open.” He continued to stroke himself.
Riley lifted her head off the bed and looked straight at his cock. Her smirk faded as she laid her head back down. She gave him no signs that she was hesitant, however. She opened her legs and moved one hand down to her cunt.
Jordan stopped breathing for a while as his pet started to play with herself. Riley slipped a finger inside her pussy and whimpered softly. Jordan could have ejaculated right then. Instead, he squeezed his dick harshly, groaning.
Riley slid her finger in and out a few more times, her eyes closing. With a moan, she changed it to two fingers. She was soon sliding two fingers inside her pussy, gradually getting faster and harder. Riley moved her free hand up and took hold of her own breast.
Again, Jordan stopped breathing and squeezed his cock to the point where the pain ran down his legs. He wouldn’t last much longer. He just hoped she was ready.
He released his cock and inhaled deeply. “Enough.”
* * * *
Riley froze, halting her fingers inside her pussy. Her eyes slowly opened to find Jordan stalking toward the bed. He climbed on top, kneeling between her legs. His eyes took her in, and it felt as if the oxygen had been sucked out of the room.
Jordan reached down and grabbed Riley’s wrist. He leisurely pulled on her arm, slipping her fingers free of herself. Riley moaned as a small tremor ran down her legs. When her fingers were completely free, he raised her hand to his face.
Jordan leaned down and Riley pulled on her hand. He scowled at her and she froze again. Then he did just what she was afraid he’d do. For some reason, this felt too intimate. Jordan opened his mouth and sucked her fingers inside.
A growl vibrated his mouth as he licked her pussy juices off her. Jordan kept eye contact which only made Riley more uncomfortable. She wanted to pull her hand back again but didn’t. After a few more seconds, Jordan finally pulled her fingers out of his mouth.
He didn’t let go of her arm right away, though. Jordan stared down at her as his lips lifted into a crooked grin.
“Are you ready, pet?”
Riley simply nodded. The tingle in her clit increased as she watched his eyes flash. A slow feeling of anxiety filled her chest as he finally let go of her wrist. Jordan gave her a handsome smile before crawling back away from her.
She started to sit up to see what he was doing, but she was soon being manhandled. Jordan grabbed her by the hips and started to turn her over onto her stomach. Riley huffed out a rushed breath as she quickly tried to brace herself.
When she was fully flipped, her Master reached under her chest and lifted her chest off the bed.
“Hands and knees, love.”
He let go of her chest and Riley immediately complied. She crawled onto all fours and Jordan adjusted himself so he was soon behind her, between her legs. He gently pushed her legs open farther, spreading her wider.
Jordan ran his hand down her back and she felt goosebumps spread over her skin. When his hands reached her ass, he continued them down toward her pussy. Jordan pulled her pussy lips open. Riley whimpered at how sensitive she was.
He pressed the head of his huge cock to her opening and Riley gripped the sheet under her. Jordan still held her lips open as he pushed his dick slowly between them. He was letting her body adjust gradually.
Riley let her head hang down between her arms as he slid deeper inside her. After a few more seconds, he let go of her pussy lips and grabbed her hips. Riley arched her back a little more, trying to open herself further. When he was about halfway in, Jordan paused. Riley was breathing heavily while flexing and relaxing her slightly sore hands on the bed.
“All right, pet. I can’t be tender much longer.”
That anxiety in her chest was morphing into a greater need for his roughness.
“I don’t need tender.”
“Be careful with your words, love.” Jordan squeezed her hips with his hands.
He then pressed his cock fully into her with little pause. Riley lifted her head quickly while moaning loudly. Her breathing was rushed and ragged as a pained whimpered flew from her mouth.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Riley’s ass trembled under his hands. He needed this. He needed her. Jordan thrust harder into her and she rolled her head from shoulder to shoulder. He knew it was a bit painful for her, but she wasn’t pulling away. This fact made Jordan’s nostrils flare as he quickened his pace.
Riley’s arms shook under her and Jordan realized that neither of them could afford to wait any longer. He slowed his fucking marginally as he reached around to her clit.
Jordan pressed two fingers against her throbbing button. Her arms shook harder. She whined loudly as he increased the pressure and speed of his fingers. She was close and soon, her pussy muscles were clamping down on his hard dick.
Riley’s head flew back as she moaned. “Jordan!”
She was coming.
“Yes, love.” He watched her body move with her labored breathing.
Jordan jiggled her clit for a few more moments before giving her a reprieve. Her head fell back down between her trembling arms. Jordan was done. He removed his hand from her pussy and gripped her hips again. He thrust hard and deep into her causing more whimpers from his pet.
It only took a few more hard penetrations and he was releasing inside her.
“Aaahhhh!” Jordan called out.
He tried to lessen his grip on he
r hips because he feared he was hurting her in more places than one. Jordan’s thrusting became uneven as he finished his climax. Suddenly, Riley’s arms gave out and she went down to her elbows. She huffed out a sweet noise, a breath mixed with a moan.
Jordan pumped one more time into her and his climax faded out. His ragged breathing mirrored hers. Sweat ran down his chest and he released her hips to find pink finger marks there which matched the marks on her little ass. There wasn’t much apology in his actions, though.
He reached up and tugged on her long, dark hair. Riley lifted her head with some effort. She whimpered as her legs stiffened against his body. Jordan inhaled, trying to savor the moment.
“My pet. My love.”
Riley moaned softly in response. Jordan let go on her hair and she immediately let her head fall back down. She soon adjusted her arms so she could lay her face on the bed. She looked beautiful and exhausted. Jordan ran his hand down her back before slowly slipping his cock from her.
Riley inhaled deeply as he pulled free. Jordan climbed back to allow her to lay down flat on his bed. He then climbed up next to her, trying to slow his own breathing. He reached up and brushed her hair off her face. Her eyes were closed and her cheeks were bright pink.
“Thank you.” Jordan leaned down and left several small kisses on her face and the corner of her mouth.
He leaned back to see a small smile tugging at her lips. Riley took several deep, slowing breaths before opening her eyes. Again, he was sure he saw love in her stare.
“Thank you,” she said in a soft voice.
Jordan sat up and reached for the blanket at her feet. He covered her before giving her another kiss on the cheek.
“Rest, sweet. You still have a meal to prepare for the big, bad shifter brothers.”
Her smile grew before her eyes fluttered shut.
* * * *
Riley rested but didn’t fall asleep. Jordan had left her alone a while ago and she just laid there, thinking. Was he being overdramatic when he said she was in danger or was there really a threat out there? Was he lying just to keep her in his house?
