Chapter 4 #3
“Then I will have my secretary arrange a flight home this afternoon.”
The bastard wasn’t joking. “What the hell are you going to do?”
“Ms. Porter. You have a nasty attitude, no understanding of authority, and a caustic mouth. In my mind, the only way to handle all three is by giving you a hard spanking.”
Now I knew the man was plumb nuts. “You aren’t serious.”
“Very serious. I think that will go a long way in teaching you a lesson in respect. The choice is up to you. I suggest you choose wisely.”
I was so befuddled I didn’t know what to say or do.
I was also entirely too turned on by the man, although I would never allow such a freaking monster to touch me.
A spanking? I’d never been spanked in my life.
Not for discipline. And certainly not for pleasure.
I was suddenly sick to my stomach, every muscle in my body aching.
However, I had one of the strongest resolves of anyone I knew.
“I plan on increasing your financial wealth by forty percent, Mr. Wolfe. When I do, I expect nothing less than five hundred thousand dollars.”
Once again, he seemed amused, but a light flickered in his eyes that I’d never seen before. There was also something else.
Desire.
The kind of hot-blooded, filthy desire that was instantly overwhelming.
He even dragged his tongue across his lips before nodding. “You’re on, Ms. Porter. I take it that you’ve agreed to your discipline.”
“Yes,” I said through clenched teeth.
He simply pointed to his desk.
I stole a quick glance toward the door, forced to take several shallow breaths. I’d never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. Never. This was outrageous. This was horrible.
This was exciting.
I was obviously having some kind of a breakdown if I thought this was exciting on any level.
I lowered my head, unable to look him in the eyes.
Then I turned around, fumbling with my fastener.
It was a good thing he didn’t make any sounds behind me or I would have knocked him to the floor.
As I lowered the dense material over my hips, I sucked in my breath.
A cold chill wafted across the tops of my thighs, but I continued the task.
I certainly wasn’t going to allow him to see this bothered me on any level.
Nope.
Nada.
After removing the items of clothing, I placed my hands in front of my pussy, holding my head high then turning around.
Then I was forced to watch as he unfastened his belt buckle, slowly tugging his thick strap of leather through the loops on his trousers.
At that moment, I felt utterly ashamed, as if I’d been nothing but a bad little girl and this was just punishment.
Trying to ignore what he was doing, I lay across his desk, fisting my hands.
“Grip the edges,” he commanded before making a wide arc around me, moving all the way behind.
I couldn’t stand the demanding tone in his voice.
But I obeyed.
After gripping the edges, I closed my eyes. I could get through this. I could. I was one hell of a strong woman.
“I think twenty are in order today.”
Twenty? I wasn’t entirely certain I could manage to get through twenty. I might pass out.
“You will maintain your position,” he continued. “If you don’t, there will be other consequences and I assure you that you won’t like those at all.”
There were so many horrible words I wanted to say to him.
I would get that chance one day. He and I weren’t finished with our discussion.
The thought helped steel my nerves. Fuck him.
He might be the owner, but I was going to rock his world.
I took several deep breaths, hating the fact he was taking his sweet time in performing the wretched deed.
However, the second I heard a whooshing sound, I clenched all my muscles in anticipation. That did me little good the second the strap was smashed across my bottom. Within seconds, I thought my entire body was on fire. Jerking up, I bit back a moan, tears immediately forming in my eyes.
Hell, no. I wasn’t going to give him any additional satisfaction. He would rot in hell before that happened.
He cracked two more strikes and a deep, anguished breath escaped my lips. By the time he given me several more in rapid succession, I thought I was going blind.
“Stop! That hurts. This is ridiculous.” I was aware I’d kicked out, fighting to keep from leaving his desk entirely.
All he had to do was issue a guttural growl and I took several deep breaths, fighting the inner girl inside of me to move back into the required position.
This was ridiculous. Stars floated in front of my eyes, all in vibrant dancing colors.
This kind of bullshit was never going to happen again. Period.
Montgomery waited another ten full mind-boggling seconds before he sliced four more across my already heated and aching ass cheeks. I knew it would be difficult to sit for a full day if not longer.
When I realized he’d moved closer, I bit my lower lip to keep from crying.
Not from worry about how much longer the spanking was going to last but because another wild and unexpected jolt of current rushed into every cell and muscle.
The worst part was that I was thrown into another giant wave of arousal, the scent of my feminine arousal floating into the air all around me.
This just couldn’t be happening. It was obvious by the heat washing up on my face that my cheeks were likely tinted the same color of crimson as my bruised bottom.
I would never be able to live this down.
I worried the horrible round of discipline would become fodder for the other employees.
Or maybe this was his usual method of controlling the staff. Either way, I would find a way to change that if it was the last thing I did.
So. Help. Me. God.
“You’re doing very well. Only a few more,” he whispered in the same sultry, sensuous tone that only added gasoline to the fire. When he dared to touch me, rubbing the tips of his fingers from one side of my ass to the other, I couldn’t hold back a moan.
Of longing.
Desire ripped through me like an explosive wave of water, exposing the kind of yearning that I’d kept hidden inside, refusing to give into any dark hunger.
This nasty… gorgeous hunk of a man had exposed my inner secrets, although they would never be admitted to anyone.
When he ran a single finger down the crack of my ass, I realized I’d opened my legs even more, likely exposing my swollen pussy lips.
Fuck! My body was betraying me like the bitch she was.
I heard his deep and ragged breaths, his hesitation telling. He was just as turned on as I was. This was a terrible position to be in. I did everything I could to shut down my emotions, my muscles tensing when he finally took a step away.
He wasted no time at that point, smacking me again and again.
Seconds later, I heard the sound of the door opening.
And a sharp exclamation.
“Oh, God. I’m so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Wolfe. I was worried you weren’t okay.”
The woman’s voice was the same I’d heard when barging into the man’s office. It was obvious she was shocked by the humiliating sight in front of her. Meanwhile, I was mortified.
Groaning under his breath, I could sense he’d turned to face her. “Don’t worry, Marjorie. I have everything under control. Just hold my calls for a few minutes.”
“Yes. I mean, yes, sir,” Marjorie answered.
It was obvious that he had some of his employees in line. The realization boosted my abhorrence. When the door closed, I lifted my head, struggling to catch a glimpse of him. “Can we get this over with?”
I didn’t need to see the expression on his face to know I’d angered him all over again. I could feel a different level of heat resonating all through him.
“Yes, Ms. Porter. Six more.”
I should have kept my mouth shut. He issued six in an even rhythm, but every strike was more savage than the one before. I found it next to impossible to keep the tears from slipping past my lashes. When I counted to six, I was finally able to take a deep breath.
“You’re finished, Ms. Porter. For now. However, I’m certain this won’t be the last time you receive hard discipline from me.”
His arrogance had returned in full force. I held my tongue, struggling to get off the desk, quickly dressing. The second the jeans scraped against my bruised bottom, I almost lost it. I managed to wipe my eyes before turning to face him. “I’ll expect an addendum to my contract, Mr. Wolfe.”
Montgomery lifted his head ever so slowly, gazing into my eyes.
Never blinking. Then the bastard smiled.
“Absolutely, Ms. Porter. As I told you before, I am a consummate businessman. You’ll have those in your inbox by the time to get to work in the morning.
Now, have a nice rest of your day and remember that there are strict rules you must follow. ”
After that, he looked away. The asshole was dismissing me.
As I walked toward the door, I kept my head held high. I also made several promises to myself, including the fact I would bring the company into the glory from years before.
Then I would crush the man like a bug.
