“That’s it, Malyshka. Cry for me. Leak for me. Your body knows who it belongs to even if your mouth keeps lying.” He landed three more brutal smacks right across the hottest, most sensitive spots. “Twenty-one. Twenty-two. Twenty-three.”

“T-twenty-four….twenty-five!” I wailed, tears streaming freely now. My legs shook so hard I would have collapsed if he weren’t holding me down. My cock jerked again, another clear string of precum stretching from the tip to the car. I was so close it hurt - right on the edge just from the pain and his filthy words.

Alexei’s hand stilled suddenly, resting on my burning ass. He squeezed both cheeks hard, spreading them just enough to make me whimper in fresh shame, then let go.

Then his hands were on me again - not hitting this time, but tugging my underwear and pants back up over my sore, throbbing skin. The fabric scraped against the fresh marks, making me hiss. He zipped me carefully, then turned me around by the hips so I was facing him, still leaning weakly against the hood.

His eyes dropped deliberately.

I followed his gaze and flushed scarlet. My cock was still rock-hard, tenting the front of my pants obscenely, a dark wet spot already spreading where I had leaked so much.

Alexei tilted his head, one corner of his mouth curling. He reached down and pressed two fingers right against the damp fabric, outlining the aching shape of me.

“You took your punishment well,” he said, voice low. “But you won’t be getting a reward.” He tapped against the wet spot. “Look at that. So fucking hard and dripping just from having your ass spanked raw. Greedy little thing.”

My face burned hotter than my ass. I couldn’t look at him. All I could do was stand there trembling, cock twitching under his fingers.

Then he put me inside the car.

A while later, I sat in the passenger seat, wincing with every tiny shift of my body. Every bump on the drive back had made me bite my lip to keep from whimpering. I kept my hands clenched tightly in my lap, staring straight ahead through the windshield as we pulled up in front of my small house. I didn’t even want to know how he found out where I lived.

Alexei turned toward me, one arm resting on the steering wheel. I glanced at him, my gaze not exactly nice - furious - but I made sure it wasn’t a glare. I didn’t want to die tonight.

His large hand shot out and grabbed my jaw as he pulled me across the center console into another kiss.

“Don’t repeat what you did tonight,” he said, his thumb brushing over my swollen bottom lip. “Next time I won’t be so nice.”

So nice? My ass was on absolute fire, and this was him being nice? I didn’t even want to imagine what him being “not nice” would look like. The thought made me shiver.

“Why do you care who I am with…?”

Alexei tilted my face up so I had no choice but to meet his eyes.

“You are mine,” he said simply, like it was the most obvious fact in the world. “You’ve been mine since that day you saw me kill on the rooftop, Malyshka. Actually even before that.”

My eyes widened. I thought it had been an unspoken rule between us, to never talk about that night on the rooftop. To pretend I hadn’t witnessed it. But apparently the rule only existed in my head.

“What… what does that mean?” I asked.

He tilted his head slightly.

I tried to repeat it. “The word you called me… Ma… malsha? Maly… shka?”

“Malyshka,” he corrected, rolling the word smoothly.

Then he yanked me even closer by my jaw, his breath warm against my lips as he whispered, “Babygirl.”

Babygirl???

I’m not a girl. I’m not - so why did that make something warm bloom deep in my stomach? I yanked myself back and fumbled for the door handle.

I practically fell out of the car as I hurried up the short path to my front door. What was wrong with me? God… I got even harder when he called me babygirl and I knew he noticed.

I needed help.

Chapter 9 - Marco

A few days later, I dragged myself to school. I could walk, thank god, but the thought of sitting through an entire day of classes made me want to crawl back into bed. My ass was still incredibly sore. I moved a little stiffly, trying not to wince too obviously as I met Rei at the usual spot near the front gates. Some things had happened to him at that party but he didn’t want to tell me what; however, he seemed okay so I decided not to push too much.
