why did you tell me to go home the other day?” she asked once the fog had somewhat lifted.
    “Because you make me nervous, little girl.”
    “Me?” she screeched in disbelief. “ I make you nervous?”
    “Damn right you do.”
    “I… I don’t… I’m sorry, I just can’t even wrap my head around that right now,” she admitted, looking at him with round, awed eyes.
    “That’s okay, I’ll give you all the time you need. Now, I believe you owe me an apology.”
    She was so stunned by what he’d revealed that it took her a moment to realize what he was talking about. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that.”
    “Good girl,” he praised, giving her hand a squeeze. “Now, you can say no, but I think a spanking is in order for that attitude you gave me earlier.”
    Scarlett had never felt so overwhelmed in her life. There was just too much, too many revelations and questions and they all swirled around in her brain until she could hardly think straight. But she couldn’t deny that at the word spanking, her pussy had opened like a floodgate, completely soaking her underwear. She squirmed in her seat, biting her bottom lip hard when she considered that if she agreed, he might see them! Then what would he think of her?
    But the truth was she wanted him to spank her. God help her, she might not know why, but she did. The one he’d given her before hadn’t been fun by any means—it had stung like hell for days afterwards—but somehow it had left her feeling relaxed in a way that she hadn’t felt in months. Maybe even years.
    “Okay,” she said at last, sneaking a quick glance to observe his reaction. She wasn’t disappointed—his face lit up in a way that warmed her heart. Was it possible that he did truly care about her?
    Colton quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and patted his knee.
    “Here?” Scarlett squeaked, her eyes widening. “You want to spank me here?”
    “Well, technically I’m going to spank your cute ass, but yes, here, in my truck.”
    “I…” She glanced apprehensively out the window. “I don’t know, Colton.”
    “What don’t you know, sweetheart?”
    Those words were gentle as any caress and when he reached over to cup her chin, his touch feather-light and full of strength all at once, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
    “Hey, what’s this for?” he asked in obvious concern as a tear slid down her cheek.
    “I don’t know,” she sniffled.
    “Sure you do. Now, let me in on the secret so that I can make it better.”
    She gave him a watery smile—oh, how she wished he could. “It’s nothing. I guess… I’m just scared.”
    “Scared of me?”
    “Not of you, exactly… although I’d feel a bit better about going over your knee if your hand didn’t hurt so much.”
    “It wouldn’t hurt so much if you weren’t so incurably naughty.”
    Scarlett smiled at his light, easygoing tone. “I… have you ever wanted something so badly that when you were close to getting it, it scared you?”
    Colton tilted his head to the side and surveyed her. “I think I know what you mean, yeah. But you don’t have to worry—I already told you I’d spank you.”
    She rolled her eyes and giggled despite herself. Colton certainly had a gift for putting her at ease. “Not that.”
    “Then what? You don’t have to be afraid of anything when you’re with me, pretty girl.”
    But that was just it—it was the way he made her feel that was precisely what she was afraid of. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to admit it aloud. He’d laugh at her or change his mind altogether and she suspected that if it happened a second time, her heart truly would break. “It’s nothing. Just cold feet, I guess.”
    “Ah. Well, how ‘bout I warm them up right after I do the same for your bottom? Oh, there you go again,” he wagged his finger at her, “rolling your eyes at me. I think you’re long overdue for a tail warming, missy.” Without another word, his hand dropped down
