clothing, had uncovered a wound she wasn’t sure she’d realized had existed until he’d put it into words. As soon as he’d spoken it though, she’d recognized his astute observation as the truth. He seemed to see her, know her better than she knew herself, and perhaps it was that knowledge that drew her to him. He saw her for who she was and genuinely liked her. She felt overwhelmed by the warmth of that feeling and she wanted to revel in its beauty. She’d never known love before, but she sensed that with Will, she could fall fast and hard.
She opened the car door and started to climb in, surprised when Will’s strong hand engulfed her upper arm, turning her to face him. One look at his stern face and she realized her mistake.
“Shit,” she whispered. “I forgot.”
His face was intent and she felt a slight tremor of fear snake through her. “You have two choices,” he said. “One, I can take you home, kiss you good night and I’ll see you tomorrow morning for our shopping trip.”
“What’s the second choice?” she asked.
“We go back to my place for coffee.”
“I like that choi—”
He cut off her words. “If you return to my place, it is with the knowledge that I’m going to turn you over my knee and spank you for opening that car door. I’m going to 59

take off the kid gloves and give you a glimpse of what you’re in for, if you choose to keep dating me.”
She shivered at the dark threat and her incredible desire for just such an event.
“And if you take me home right now, I get to avoid the punishment? I won’t be spanked?”
He grinned. “If you choose to go home now, I’ll turn you over my knee in the front seat of the car before we leave this parking lot.”
“So I’d get my punishment sooner,” she said with a light laugh and he groaned. “I really want to go back to your apartment.”
He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against hers. “God, you’re a temptress.
I will promise you right here and now, I won’t have sex with you tonight.”
“What?” she asked, upset by his vow. “Why?”
He kissed her cheek lightly. “Because we’re going way too fast as it is and I want you to have time to think about all the things we’ve discussed tonight.” She realized the intelligence behind his decision, even though her body was ready to beg him to take her over the hood of his car right now. She forced herself to nod.
“Okay,” he said, releasing her arm. “My home it is.” The ride from the restaurant to his apartment was mercifully short. They were both quiet during the drive and she was glad for the few moments of peace to gather her wits about her. She was going to Will’s apartment, knowing that he was going to spank her when they arrived.
The thought should appall her, terrify her, but instead she was wetter, hotter, needier than she’d ever been in her life. She squirmed, trying to find relief as Will pulled up to the front of a lovely old house.
“What a nice place,” she murmured, hoping the conversation would take her mind off the unbearable pain between her legs. God, one touch and she felt certain she would explode.

“There are only four units in the building. I have half of the top floor.” She nodded and eyed the door handle. Why wasn’t he getting out of the car?
“Are you sure you want to come in?” he asked.
Hell’s bells. He was giving her an out when all she wanted was to run inside and attack him.
“I’m sure. Please hurry,” she whispered, rubbing her legs together once more.
He grinned and shook his head. “Anticipation can make the reward so much sweeter.”
“God, Will.” She leaned her head back against the car seat, her hand reaching to touch her aching pussy.
“No,” he said, quickly grabbing her wrist. “That cunt is mine.”
“Then I guess you’d better start taking care of it,” she taunted, hoping to push him into action.
His eyes narrowed and she moaned under
