“Say, ‘Thank you, Sir,’ after every blow,” he commanded.
“Thank you—” I started, but he hadn’t struck me yet.
His lips were against my ear as he hissed, “Are you messing with me, girl?”
“No, Sir!” Louder than I’d thought. Louder than I’d heard the words in my head. I sounded like a soldier. “No, Sir!” Punctuated fiercely with my inherent willingness to obey.
“Don’t mess with me, young lady,” he said, “don’t test me,” and then he kissed me, high up on my cheek, and I trembled even more. The feeling of his gentle lips pressed to me, combined with the knowledge that he was about to grant me a serious hiding, left me twisted and shuddering inside.
The thrashing continued, now with the belt meeting my bare ass, and I did my best to choke out, “Thank you, Sir,” after each blow. Didn’t do quite good enough, though, because he had to continually up the intensity of the blows to keep me in line. Until finally he moved forward, grabbed my arms, and used the belt to bind my wrists behind my back. Against the couch, I balanced, body arched, waiting, waiting for what came next.
I’d thought about this moment all day, and it had been difficult for me to get any work done. Every time I’d tried to concentrate, I envisioned myself with my knickers at my ankles, ass in the air, submitting to the punishment I so desperately craved. Needed. Yearned for. Deserved. Every time I opened a new file, or clicked my mouse on a spreadsheet, I lost myself in forbidden daydreams. Now, those daydreams were coming true. And as always reality left the daydreams in the dust.
I sighed, inwardly delighted, when he tested between my legs for the wetness. I felt as if only one stroke of his calloused thumb against my clit would get me off. But he didn’t touch me the way I needed, changing my sighs to desperate mews.
“Not done, yet,” he hissed at me. “Not quite done, yet—”
Before I fully understood what he was doing, he had me over his lap, my wrists still captured, head turned on a velvety throw cushion, my body in perfect position for a bare-handed spanking on my naked behind. I was already smarting, so hot from the belt, but that didn’t stop him from delivering another series of stinging blows on my throbbing ass.
I squirmed my hips against his knees to gain the contact I craved, and this time, he didn’t admonish me. He let me leave a wet spot on his slacks before undoing the buckle of his belt, freeing my wrists, and repositioning me over the edge of the sofa. This is the way he was going to fuck me, with my ass so hot and red from the belt and his hand, with my pussy swimming in sex juices.
He slid in and I gripped him immediately, and then he placed one hand in between the sofa and my body and began to stroke and tickle my clit as he fucked me. The sensations were almost too powerful to handle. I closed my eyes and thought about how I’d spent my day. From the second I woke up, still in bed when I planned my outfit, I’d thought of this moment. At work, when he’d called to check and see if I had been a good girl or a bad girl, I’d nearly lost it—hurrying to the bathroom to rub and rub at my clit, but unable to make myself come without the pain that he so generously dispenses.
The pain and the pleasure.
Now, as I came, I thought about our arrangement. Whenever I wear my schoolgirl skirt out of the house, I know I’m going to get a spanking, know that I’m going to have to be taught a lesson when I get home. That my man will have left his expensive suit hanging in the closet and changed into the working-class superintendent of our building, ready to dole out punishment to any needy young lady. Truth is, I can hardly get through a week without wearing something that will catch his eye and make him shake his head.
“I love it when you wear that skirt, baby—” Landon said.
I smiled as I looked down at the rumpled Burberry plaid, then imagined what I might sneak out of the house in tomorrow….
