Chapter Two #2
‘Partly,” he answered truthfully, turning back to look at her.
“I went there on a whim. Sam has been after me for a long time, but I never really had any intention of finding a woman through such, tawdry means,” he said chagrined.
“It just seemed wrong, as though I would be purchasing what I want instead of developing a relationship with someone who understood the dynamics of what I need.”
“Then why did you go?”
“I was bored and agitated. Ty and I were in the city on business and planned to head home on Saturday. Then I saw you in that bookstore and became…fixated I guess. I could still smell your perfume; feel you pressed against me when I went to bed that night. I couldn’t settle down and get you out of my mind.
“I told myself it was just a chance meeting, that you were nothing to me and never would be, but I couldn’t stop thinking about you.
How you looked, your pretty mouth sassing me, your ass in those tight jeans,” he grinned, “and of course those ridiculous shoes.
I worried whether you made it back home that night, never realizing you were staying at the hotel.
“The next night I found myself back at the store, describing you to the night manager, but no one knew who you were. I tried pushing you out of my mind, after all I had no idea whether you were married or attached. At one point I actually thought about hiring a private detective to find you, but I realized that was just plain insane. I didn’t even know your name.
“Friday I ran into Sam and he invited me and Ty to the party. I went out of sheer curiosity, thinking it might be amusing, and there you were, doing what you do best, arguing with the bartender and looking so tempting,” he smiled.
“It was all I could do to control myself. I wanted to scoop you into my arms, find an empty room and ravish you, but I couldn’t. I ran the risk of scaring you away.”
“I don’t scare easily,” Sue replied, setting the photo down.
“I know, it’s part of your charm,” Marcus agreed. “Did you think about me, after that night we met?”
“I did,” Sue admitted, “but mostly it annoyed me. I’m not the type to spend much time mooning over some man I’d probably never see again, but you intrigued me.
It’s not every day that a total stranger tells you ‘you need a spanking’.
It’s not something I’ve ever thought about incorporating into my sex life.
“I tried to remember your voice and convince myself that you were teasing, but in my heart I knew you weren’t.
Then, before I knew it, I began to wonder if you were right, crazy huh?
” she grinned. “My whole life has been sort of a roller coaster and I’ve just been along for the ride.
My parents tried to curb my…let’s call it enthusiasm, but weren’t very successful. I’m not blind to my faults.
“When I decided to sign on with Sugar Babies, it was in the back of my mind that perhaps a little guidance wouldn’t be a bad thing, provided I trusted the man to actually care about me and not be an abusive jerk.
I thought maybe with the right match, I could come out of this with a little more direction, and of course there is the money,” she added smiling. “So I went for it.”
Marcus laughed. What a little opportunist she was, not that he was above taking advantage when presented with his heart’s desire, obviously.
“And now?” he asked curiously.
“Well,” Sue grimaced, absently rubbing her bottom.
“Now that you’ve spanked me, and I must say that I think it was a little unfair of you to do that considering all I wanted was to make love to you, I’m a little apprehensive about the whole spanking thing.
Of course,” she continued walking up to him, tipping her head back and sliding her fingers into his thick hair.
“You did mention something about erotic spanking and I’m all for giving that a try. ”
Marcus laughed. “I’ll bet you are,” he whispered as he bent and claimed her lips.
Molding her body to his he kissed her until he felt her legs quiver, taking everything she offered.
His hands moved to her beautiful bottom, holding her up as his tongue teased her mouth open.
When he felt her sag against him he released her lips, but nothing else.
Tipping her head up, he stared into her eyes.
“I spanked you for two purposes that first night. One I already explained to you. You are not allowed to pleasure yourself without permission. Frankly, I want to be a part of every orgasm you have in one way or another. The second reason was to give you a taste of what to expect if you disobey me. I’m not a tyrant, but I will hold you accountable when necessary.
You needed to know that, before you signed that contract and before we became any more involved.
It’s easy to agree to something on paper and quite another when reality steps in.
I had to know if you were going to bail on me the first time I corrected you, and I did give you fair warning. ”
“I’m not saying you didn’t,” Sue replied. “It was just that I wanted you so badly and…”
“I wanted you too, Red, and I want you even more now, but if I had made love to you and then you walked away I wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
You probably won’t admit it, but I’ve seen you in action.
You’re a disaster waiting to happen. I need you Red, but I happen to believe you need me even more. ”
“Well,” she sighed, stroking his cheek. “Since we agree that we want and need each other, how about we skip the rest of the house for now and you show me your bedroom?”
Marcus laughed and grabbed her hand, pulling her from the room.
“Our bedroom,” he told her, wrapping an arm around her as he steered her upstairs, “and don’t forget it.”
