that you will obey me. You re more than old enough to know that what you did was
wrong, yet you did it anyway. That s smacks of deliberate - the paddle fell particularly
hard on that word, making her shriek and jump with it, wishing heartily that the thought
had never crossed her mind to take a joyride a day early in her birthday present
disobedience, which I will not have in my house.
By the time he finished, her entire rear was an angry fire engine red color, sore
and swollen and very uncomfortable-looking. It was probably one of the worst paddlings
he d ever given her, right up there with leaving the gate to the southern pasture open.
They d had to spend money and time during roundup, when they didn t have either, to
find a herd they d already found once. Then there was the time that she had ignored the
doctor s orders by going to a friend s house when she was supposed to stay home and rest
up from a bout of pneumonia. He d actually waited on delivering that last session until
the doctor himself had released her from his care, when her lungs were back to normal.
Sugar had just been happy he hadn t told the doctor why he was demanding the
certification. She d been terrified that he would do just that.
Until now, he had always helped her up and hugged her rather stiffly, usually,
because he always found himself tremendously aroused by punishing her, and he hadn t
wanted to put her off by that fact. Hell, he didn t even want her to know it; much less
give her a chance to feel offended by it. That was exactly what he was trying to prevent.
But now, he saw no such impediment, and, in fact, intended to indulge himself
this evening as no other. So he reached out and removed her fingers cramped and
crimped as they were from the rim of the desk, massaging them back to normal, then
scooping her up into his arms and holding her on his lap in his big chair.
Cash, no! Surprised by his actions, Sugar, who was still struggling to breathe
and sob at the same time, tugged very unsuccessfully at the hem of her favorite shirt,
knowing she was going to ruin it, but for some reason she felt a compulsive need to cover
herself in front of Cash if she wasn t being punished by him.
Cash pressed his forehead to hers, whispering calmly, Stop, now, placing his
hands over hers. Sit with me. Let me hold you and comfort you.
Chapter Three
She was too tired and overwrought from the spanking to argue with him,
especially considering she knew she could very well end up back where she had just been
if she argued too much. So Sugar just collapsed against him bonelessly, knowing she
wasn t going to be allowed to win against him.
Somehow, she wasn t at all willing to dissect how right now or maybe even ever
that was all right with her. It made her feel safe, loved, and cared for, much more so
than nearly every other young woman she knew.
He had very carefully placed her on her side in his lap, so that her ravaged butt
wasn t in contact with his jeans at all, but there was no mistaking that ridge poking up
insistently into her hip. He was aroused. Sugar had never known that about him before;
that spanking her had turned him on. That knowledge only added to the desires that were
already beginning to rise rapidly within her, despite the throbbing pain in her bottom.
Or, more probably, if she was ruthlessly honest with herself, because of it.
It was strange to be sitting here on his lap, so close to him. Every single part of
her wanted to wrap her arms around him and plaster her body to his, but she didn t quite
have the guts to do it. So she crumpled, instead. Let him decide. That s what he wanted
to do, anyway.
Cash took the opportunity of her surrender to tilt her head and kiss her, really kiss
her, for the first time. They d shared the usual family pecks on the cheek, and hugs, of
course, but nothing that smacked in the least of desire or romance, until now.
Both were in his mind as his mouth took hers first and foremost desire.
He hadn t anticipated the way their mouths would meld together so perfectly. At
first, Sugar was unusually yielding, like putty, letting him kiss her, slanting his lips across
