Spook chuckled, voice thick and warm.“Ett.”

What did that mean?

Confused, she wasn’t ready when his hand landed again, harder than the first.

He’d taken off his rings.

“Två.”

They were counting.“Tre.”She remembered as he turned her limbs to jelly.

“Good girl.Fyra.”

Too soon.Too soon.A moment was necessary to catch her breath.The heat was spreading out from the inferno where he’d landed one slap right on top of the previous one.Tendrils licked deep into her core.They touched her clit, entwined around her nipples, and clasped her hips like two broad hands.

All at once she was wet, probably visibly so.He’d know.He could see.Touch me, she silently begged.Make me come.Run your finger along the split of my pussy, and then wind circles around my clit.

“Fem.”

Five.The next one was impossible to forget.

“Sex.”

What she wanted from him badly.Her need was almost as excruciating as the white heat coursing through her veins.But he wouldn’t.He only tormented her with the possibility.Practically on cue, Spook brushed his thumb over the whorl of her anus.The touch was so brief it might almost have been imagined if he hadn’t then touched her again, this time with his thumb slicked with saliva.Too easily, he slipped that digit inside of her.

“Ohhh!”The mewl spilled automatically as he lighted up a thousand nerve-endings.

“Is this how you want me to take you?”

“Yes,” she gasped.“Anyway you please.Anyway at all.”Why was it so difficult to breathe while he was doing that?Did she really want him to fuck her there?She was untried.A virgin in that regard.Her sex throbbed, reminding her of the emptiness that existed there too, waiting to be filled.

“That’s dreadfully dirty, Ms Hutton.I think you’re too tight to take more than my thumb without considerable effort.”

“To ensure it didn’t hurt.”

“To ensure it was only good hurt.”He withdrew his thumb, and slapped her again.The noise of the impact rumbling in the quiet of the room like the drum of localized thunder.“Sju.We’re expanding our knowledge here.”

“?tta,” she said, pre-empting his next strike.Did he really think she hadn’t learned how to count to ten in Swedish after the first time he’d done this?

Spook burst out laughing.He bent over her cackling in delight, and pressed a kiss to her burning hot skin.“Oh, Alle.You really are a delight, and so, so, very eager.Don’t think I don’t want you.I do.I’m literally dripping with excitement at the sheer possibility.I could take you any way I like, couldn’t I, and you wouldn’t murmur a single protest.You’re so desperate for it your need’s almost tangible.”

“I’m not going to deny that I want you,” she huffed.“Even if I know you won’t let yourself have me, no matter how prettily I plead.”

“No matter how irritably either.”

Her spanking continued all the way up to thirty.By which time, she was a blubbering mess.

Spook wrapped her in a throw and cuddled her.Then found some Aloe Vera and rubbed it into the sore stretches of her skin.That seemed to make the sting penetrate deeper rather than dissipate it.She groaned, and he stilled.

Alle turned her head.There were tears in his eyes too.“I shouldn’t have done this.”

“Yes you should.”

“No.Your brother’s right.There are women in my past who regret ever having met me.I’ve done things I’m not proud of.Hurt people I loved.”

“I wanted this, Spook.Also, we’ve all done hurtful things at one time or another.It’s easy to lash out when emotions are high.”

Silence was his reply.
