instructions and was now lying on her bed as tense as a bowstring. She tried not to wonder what was coming. Everything they’d done so far she’d loved, but of course that was no guarantee she’d feel that way tonight.
    She had to remember that no matter how drawn she was to Keith, how much she wanted to stay, if something happened she didn’t like she could end it and walk away.
    The door opened.
    Her heart thumped as she listened to Keith crossing the room towards her. Then she felt the bed give as he sat on the edge beside her.
    “Lay on my lap,” he said, his voice cool and even.
    Shit. Shit. Did this mean he was going to spank her, or something? Of course that was one of the possibilities that had occurred to her when she read his note, but she’d let herself hope that it wouldn’t happen.
    Maybe it wouldn’t hurt very much. Maybe—
    “Now.” His voice was like a whip, and she knew she had to decide.
    She rose up on her knees and moved towards him on the bed. She used her hands to feel where he was and then awkwardly laid herself down across his powerful thighs.
    He was bare chested but he was wearing pants—jeans, she thought. The denim was rough against her skin, and she felt an unexpected jolt of excitement.
    Keith ran his big palm along her spine and down across her backside. He traced the curves of her buttocks with slow, gentle strokes, and suddenly she realized something.
    She liked this. She liked lying naked and vulnerable on Keith’s lap, blindfolded and at his mercy.
    Something was happening to her spine. She was lying still, not moving, but it felt like she was. Like she was almost...undulating.
    Surrendering.
    “You have a beautiful ass, Sarah.”
    Then he lifted his hand and brought it down on her bottom with an audible crack.
    She gasped, but more from surprise than pain. It stung—no question about that—but it didn’t really hurt. Still, as adrenaline coursed through her body, instinct made her squirm away from him.
    Instantly he caught her wrists and bound them together, behind her back, using something that felt like the tie of a robe. He must have had it ready.
    Oh, God. What was wrong with her that she felt so excited right now? She’d loved everything they’d done together but in a burst of clarity, she realized that, on some level, she’d been telling herself that this side of Keith was something she was putting up with in order to be with him. Like it was a flaw she had to deal with.
    But it wasn’t that way at all.
    “You’re not going anywhere,” he said in that low, sexy voice she loved.
    When she struggled this time it wasn’t instinct—it was because she wanted to. She wanted to feel how hopeless it was, how completely Keith could dominate her.
    He held her down easily with a hand on her lower back.
    “You were doing so well,” he said, using his other hand to stroke her bare bottom again. The soft caress made her skin tighten everywhere, as though it were too small for her body. “And then you had to try and take that blindfold off. You should know better, Sarah. I make the rules at night.”
    Was he going to spank her again? She held her breath in anticipation, but he just kept stroking her.
    “If you’re a good girl, we won’t have to do this again...even if your ass looks fucking amazing with my hand print on it. But I’m willing to move on if you’ve learned your lesson. Have you?”
    He was letting her off the hook. With one spank, he was letting her off the hook.
    He thought she couldn’t take it. He thought she didn’t really like this. He’d talked about how rough he could be, and now he was backing off.
    “No.”
    Keith’s hand went still. “What?”
    Her heart was pounding. “I said no. I haven’t learned my lesson. I think...” she swallowed. “I think you should make sure I have.”
    It was like he’d turned into a statue. The silence was so electric it seemed to crackle across her skin.
    Then she felt his erection. The heat and
