With Hearts Aflame: Valentine's Day Box Set
Page 51
A stinging smack landed right in the middle of her seat. "Charlie, why are you receiving this spanking?"
"Because… I've been running away from you guys and what I knew to be right. I've been so irresponsible and lying. I've messed everything up." Her words came from her in tortured, ragged sobs that shook her shoulders.
"Okay, baby. Here we go."
His hands were large and seemed to cover her whole bottom at once, but he smacked each side repetitively before moving to the other side, then moved lower. He didn't start out very hard, and if Charlie had been in a different mind frame from the start, she might have held out better, but she cried out and yelped from the beginning.
He said she would get what she asked for, like it or not, and she definitely wasn't liking it. Tendrils of fire licked her sensitive skin and renewed with each new punishing smack. She clawed at the sofa, not trying to get away but to focus, or to send the pain somewhere.
"It's enough. Please, Vin. It's enough." She tried to cover her butt with her palm. He was quick to catch it and hold it secure at her lower back.
"Oh no. You don't call the shots here, sugar. I do. I'll decide when it's enough." His words were followed up by a whole new volley of spanks. Her backside was a raging inferno of heat sure to light up the night. She hadn't even been aware she'd begun kicking and totally misbehaving in the terms of a spankee until a couple well-placed swats to her thighs brought her out. "This kicking will not be tolerated, Charlie. Keep your legs down."
"Owie… Vin, please… I'm sorry. I'm going to be good now. I'll never lie again."
That must have finally done the trick because the spanking slowly came to an end. Charlie's relief was short-lived, however, because while he rubbed her backside and she caught her breath, she noticed an odd shaking, and then rumbling. It was him—he was laughing. How could he possibly laugh at a time like this? She looked over her shoulder just as he reached for her and lifted her into his lap. She winced and tried to get her legs untangled. Her pants were twisted around her shoes and her butt hurt!
She turned her tear-filled eyes to him. "Are you laughing at me? How could you?"
"No, yes…" He hugged her and kissed her forehead. "You said you would never lie again, you little liar. You're going to be so good?" He winked. "I'm sure you can't be good for three days in a row. But that is okay, because I happen to have fallen in love with you, my own little liar. And I know just how to keep you in line."
His hand came to the back of her head and locked in her hair at the same time his mouth brushed hers. The kiss was tender at first, and then punishing as his lips demanded she open to him, and then devouring as he made his claim. She couldn't get enough of him. She wiggled and turned, kicking her shoes and pants off while he was distracted.
Her bottom was so hot, it was painful, but it was also doing something to her, something she'd never be able to explain much less understand. She was afraid when she left his lap he'd be able to see where she'd been sitting and her very obvious desire for him left behind on his jeans, but she was almost too far gone to care. He was nibbling on her ear and when she finally turned the rest of the way and straddled him, he grasped her butt, cupping it. When she shrieked he covered her mouth with his own, owning her. She still couldn't get close enough; she needed more.
She needed him, down there, inside her. She rubbed against his bulge and he groaned into her mouth. Had she hurt him? He broke their kiss and pulled her away from him.
"What? Vin, are you okay?" His face was a stony mask of agony. She tried to scoot off of him. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
"No, you are perfect. I'm just… We shouldn't…" It was the first time Charlie had ever seen him at a loss. "Oh God. You deserve to have a beautiful wedding night, sugar. I don't want to be a jerk and ruin it for you."
It was the worst kind of disappointment. She felt like she'd been hit with a ramrod in the stomach. He didn't want her like that. That was his way of letting her down? She started to scoot away. He caught her arm and stopped her before she could flee and find her decorum. "It's fine."
"Hey, hey… what is this, sugar? What is the matter? You are going to pout and throw a fit because I want you to respect yourself and wait so we have a beautiful wedding night?" He cupped her chin and turned her face back to his.
He said we—we have a beautiful wedding night. "Are you proposing?"
"Are you going to keep pouting? Cause I'd hate to have to propose with you over my knee."

The window was illuminated by the streetlight, the same way it had been for years. The only difference now was she lay snugly tucked under Vin's arm. The bed was different now, too, not her parents' that she'd taken to sleeping in right after her mom's death, but Vin's which he'd brought with him. It was perfect actually. Charlie couldn't believe things were starting to work out, couldn't believe she'd fought it all so long, couldn't believe he'd caved and brought her to his bed. She felt so much better. Well, except her backside still felt a little too warm and it wasn't because it rested snugly between her and Vin.
He was such a prude. A dang sexy one, but an old-fashioned man to the bone. No, the palm—he was old-fashioned to the palm. Go figure. They were going to have to get married as soon as they could get the courthouse to do it, because she wanted the man to make love to her ASAP. She wasn't going to wait forever. She wiggled her bottom and smiled at the response behind her… he'd cave sooner or later.
She sighed as she tried to move her leg again. Son of a biscuit. If only it would go away, the pain, the cramping. It was driving her crazy. She didn't know if she had any Ibuprofen with her. She would have to go to the doctor; maybe it was more than the anemia. No, it couldn't be… It wasn't… Okay, she was going to have to start eating better. She knew it, but it wasn't going to help tonight. That was a whole other story.

“I have always loved to write, and daydream, of course. It just comes naturally to me. I love to read. I devour books. Sadly, I had a hard time finding the good books, the ones that had sexy, dominant men in them. The ones where the men weren't afraid to spank a girl if she deserved a few well earned swats. The books that had those scenes were very few and far between.
My books are romance- and they are fun and naughty but you won't find any full sex scenes. (Just enough teasers). However, there are plenty of spankings all the way through and tons of plot to keep you turning the pages.”
