The shape they make when she saysDr. Maguire…fuck.

“Say that again,” I growl, my face inches from hers.

“Dr. Maguire.” At the sexy purr, my cock jerks in her palm. “Dr. Maguire.”

“Enough.” It hurts, tearing myself away. But it’s necessary. “Work first. Play later.”

“Please.” She sways closer to me. “Please. Dr.—”

I grab her wrist. “Later.”

The teasing look she flashes me means this isn’t over.

Which is why I punish her. Have to. I bend her over the trunk, pushing her face to the cool metal, right over the two dead bodies of Sergey and Stas.

She should be disgusted. Instead, I find relief on her face. Even in this dim light, I see her. I feel her as she arches her back, unbuttoning her jeans by herself.

Eager little thing.

I slap her hands away. Lock both her wrists with one hand behind her back.

“You’re going to unzip me?” Harper asks, her voice breathless.

“No.”

The first crack of my hand on her ass gets me a shriek.

“Quiet.”

“How are you going to fuck?—”

Smack!

“—ow! Me, when I’m in my?—”

Smack! Smack! Smack!

“That’s the whole point of a punishment, kitten.” She shivers as my lips move along her ear. “I’m not going to fuck you.”

“Why?”

Smack! Smack!

“This is me, taking care of you.” I nip the shell of her ear, my cock throbbing as a response to her shuddering body. “We get rid of the bodies first. I’ll tend to this pretty pussy once we’re done.”

“You’re mean.” Harper’s bottom lip juts out after I help her up. As we stare at each other. “We could’ve been done by now and?—”

I raise an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest.Really?

“Okay, fine.” When she huffs, I laugh, leaning in to kiss her insolent mouth. “It would’ve taken longer than that.”

“Good girl.”

At the praise, she melts. With a sweet sigh, she backs away and watches me round the car.

I pull out two large metal boards from the back seat. They were Harper’s, before today. She used them for her collections. She said she’d arrange all the pieces together on one slate gray backdrop to see if they’d fit together.

Each of the two has a new hole on one side. We had restraints looped through these holes to carry the bodies around.
