He was freaking turning her on, yet Sawyer became scared bone-deep in her body that she was enjoying this.

The first smack from the back of the brush against her ass had her tensing and standing straight up, disenchanting her about enjoying being punished.

“You just earned yourself two more for breaking position, Sawyer.”

Sawyer resumed the position he required, cursing him mentally.

The second and third strokes of the brush had a heated warmth spreading across her butt. Four more strokes had tears welling in her eyes and her body clenching in need. Sawyer moved to adjust her position slightly.

“Stay still. I already can see you’re wet, Sawyer. Don’t think you can hide it from me.”

Sawyer’s legs went back to their original position, and she received two more strokes from the brush.

“What have you got to say to me, Sawyer?”

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled.

“What did you say?” The brush landed against her ass harder than all the other times combined. It was then that she realized he had been taking it easy on her.

“I’m sorry.” This time her voice was firmer and louder.

“Good girl.”

Instead of the brush against her ass once more, she felt his finger part her pussy, sliding along her crease, stroking and spreading the wetness he found before his finger penetrated her opening and slid in deep.

The brush landed against her ass once again, jerking her backwards, driving his finger further inside her wet warmth. Sawyer wanted to scream; but instead, she maintained her position, afraid he would stop.

He gave her another finger as a reward and began pumping inside her harder as the brush lightly tapped her skin. Sawyer thought her knees would give out before she could come. She whimpered when Kaden removed his fingers; she needed him to finish what he had started.

“Do you want my dick, Sawyer?”

Sawyer felt herself on the precipice of wanting to tell him no; however, she said what her body was demanding.

“Yes,” Sawyer admitted to herself and him.

“Then ask me nicely.”

Sawyer knew what he wanted to hear. “Please, Kaden. I want your dick.”

She heard the metallic noise of him unzipping his jeans then the slick feel of his cock as he placed it against her opening. He thrust hard into her, almost making her lose her balance, but she held still, letting him take her the way he demanded. His hand buried in her tumbled curls, bringing her head up as he leaned over her back.

“What am I doing, Sawyer?”

“You’re fucking me,” Sawyer gasped.

“That’s right, and you’re going to let me anytime I want, aren’t you, Sawyer?”

“Yes.” She barely managed to stifle her scream of pleasure as he thrust so high inside her that she was almost unable to cope with the pleasure taking over her body. She thrust back against him.

“Stand still. This time you’re going to take what I give you.”

He rose back up, grabbing her hips to steady her and then pounded inside of her. The sound filled the room as she took everything he gave her, wanting more.

A broken whimper passed her lips just before the brush landed with another smack against her ass. Pleasure exploded in her as Sawyer climaxed. Her clenching pussy tried to hold him within her as Kaden kept thrusting. She trembled under his controlling body. His hand slid from her hip to the front of her pussy where he found her clit, stroking her, drawing out the climax until she was shuddering uncontrollably.

“The next time I tell you to shave yourself, you’ll fucking do it. Do you understand me?”

“Yes.”

The brush landed against her harder and firmer.

“Yes, sir,” Sawyer wailed.

“That’s my girl.”

Kaden brushed her clit again, and this time her hands and knees gave out and she landed on the bed as Kaden’s cock jerked out his release deep within her.

He gently picked her up, lying her back down on the bed with her head on the pillow. He left her for a few minutes before returning. He spread her legs, cleaning her while he ignored her swatting hand.

“Stop it, Sawyer, or I’ll get the brush and teach you the hard way to stay still.”

Sawyer’s hand immediately returned to her side. When he finished, he went back into the bathroom and Sawyer used the opportunity to cover herself with the sheet.

Kaden noticed when he returned to the room. He stood by the bed, removing his clothes and placing them on the chair beside hers, before sliding into the bed.

Sawyer started to say something then closed her mouth at his sharp look. Her ass was still burning and she wasn’t anxious for another swat.

When he lay on his side, pulling her toward him, Sawyer tensed, not feeling comfortable close to his warmth. She preferred having her space, but she let him hold her, his arm wrapping around her waist with his hand on her breast.

“Go to sleep, Sawyer.”

“Quit ordering me around,” she snapped back sleepily.

His quiet laughter almost made her want to pick a fight, but she was too tired and too sore to face the consequences if she made him angry. She would teach the domineering bastard tomorrow that she wasn’t going to become a pushover to his every demand.

Chapter Thirteen

Sawyer managed to sneak out of bed without waking Kaden. As she ran water in the oversized tub, she saw several bath bombs sitting on the shelf above the bath. Reaching up, she inquisitively sniffed a few before finding a faint vanilla scent she liked that wasn’t overpowering.

She dropped the bath bomb into the tub, watching the bubbles and foam appear. She grinned as she enjoyed the treat. Vida and she stayed on a tight budget and wouldn’t splurge on small extravagances.

Sinking into the warm water, she relished the warmth and the silky feel of the water against her skin. As she settled, she adjusted her butt so she wasn’t putting weight on the sorest part of her bottom.

Taking the sponge, she appreciated being able to relax and take her time for the first moment in her life, to actually spoil herself. She shaved her legs and underarms. Glancing down, she couldn’t bring herself to do as Kaden had suggested, so she laid the razor down, relaxing back against the side of the tub.

It wasn’t long before the opening door had her head turning to see Kaden coming into the room.

“Get out,” Sawyer said between gritted teeth.

Coming to a stop, Kaden asked, “Why?”

“Why?” Sawyer repeated his words. “I’m taking a bath.”

“I can see that,” he said with his eyes on her breasts.

“Get out.” This time he gave her a full-fledged smile before going to the toilet and raising the lid before relieving himself. When he was done, he flushed and went to the sink to wash his hands.

Sawyer sat with her mouth open at the gall of the man to not wait until she was finished. When he turned back around, she couldn’t hold back her response. “At least you raised the lid.”

“I try to be a gentleman.”

“A gentleman would be the last word I would use to describe you,” she snapped.

“Really? I think I’ve been very gentle with you, Sawyer, despite your constantly defiant attitude toward me.” Kaden sat down on the side of the tub, unconcerned with his nakedness.

Sawyer wanted to throw her bath sponge at him; but instead, she sat up in the tub, covering her breasts with the bright pink sponge.

His eyes fell to the razor lying on the side of the tub. “Tell me, Sawyer, if my hand was to dip into the water, would I find your pussy the way I have asked for it twice?”

Sawyer paled, lowering her lashes to cover her eyes. She wasn’t frightened of Kaden, but neither was she anxious for her ass to be on the receiving end of another spanking so soon while it was still pink and sore.

Her silence showed her guilt.

Kaden stood up, looking down at her. “Since you couldn’t follow my directions, I’m going to my room, instead of getting in the tub with you, which is what I wanted to do. I’ll leave you to bathe alone.” Sawyer saw the disappointment in his eyes and swallowed back the unnecessary remorse the bastard was trying to make her feel.

“If I knew your bottom wasn’t still sore with being spanked for the first time, I would show you how ill advised you are for not listening to me, Sawyer. I expect you to take care of this act of defiance on your part immediately. Do you understand me?”

Sawyer nodded instead of cussing him out, which she thought was the wisest move on her part. Her nipples tightened, peeking out from behind the sponge. The freaking asshole could arouse her without laying a hand on her.

Kaden turned back before going out the doorway. “And, Sawyer, I expect you to find a way to make this up to me tonight.”

She would make it up to him tonight all right; she would kill the freaking bastard before she ripped out his heart.

* * *

Jordan had managed to make breakfast for everyone. The eggs were still runny and the bacon burnt, but they were edible, so Sawyer managed to eat enough to stop her stomach from rumbling. She had just finished drinking the last of her coffee when Kaden came into the kitchen.

“Have you finished eating breakfast?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Let’s go then.” He took her hand, ushering her out of the kitchen under Jordan’s amused gaze.

“Where are we going?”

“I thought you’d like to get out of the house for a while and explore the town. I have items to pick up.” Sawyer couldn’t believe that she would willingly spend time with Kaden, but the idea of sitting around another day in R.J.’s house, bored to tears, stopped any protest she would have made.
