I responded anyway. “Thank you, Mr. Parker.”
“Do you understand why you’re being punished?”
“Yes, Mr. Parker.” I understood all too well.
“Count down from fifteen. But keep in mind, there are people in this office. Should they hear you, they might come check it out. And it’s a good possibility they’ll want to stay and watch. Then the tables will be turned.”
The idea of anyone in this office watching me get spanked wasn’t as bad as I’d originally thought. Probably had a lot to do with the fact that I was more comfortable with them now. Which I guess made me an exhibitionist.
Mr. Parker’s hand disappeared, and a second later, it came down with a resounding thud on my bare butt.
“Fifteen,” I whispered, gritting my teeth from the heat that ripped through me. It hurt, but it wasn’t nearly as painful as when he’d used the belt.
He squeezed my ass gently and my pussy grew wetter.
Smack!
“Oh, God,” I moaned softly. “Fourteen.”
“Did you like that, little girl?”
I couldn’t lie. “Yes, Mr. Parker.”
Smack!
“Thirteen.”
I barely had time to breathe before the next one landed.
Smack!
“Twelve!” My voice was a little louder than before.
“Hmm. You might just draw attention after all.”
Smack!
“Eleven,” I groaned as softly as I could.
His hand remained on my ass for long seconds and I secretly wished that he would dip lower. The ache between my legs had grown significantly in the few minutes we’d been in the room.
Smack!
Ah, Christ. That one was much harder than the others. I hissed in a breath, then remembered to count. “Ten.”
As he landed blow after blow on my ass, the strangest thing happened. I’d never thought I could reach subspace from a spanking alone, but it appeared that was the case. I couldn’t even be sure I’d counted down effectively.
Smack!
“Six.”
They continued to rain down while I continued to count, my ass burning, my pussy clenching around the emptiness. I needed something, but I didn’t dare ask for it. This was punishment, not pleasure. I had to be content with what I was given.
When the last one landed, I sighed.
“One,” I whimpered, my mind hazy from the blissful state I was in.
“You can stand up now,” Mr. Parker said, his tone even.
Apparently, he wasn’t as affected by this as I was.
With his help, I got to my feet. But as soon as I did, my knees buckled. Mr. Parker pulled me into his lap.
“Did you fly, little rebel?”
I nodded, leaning my cheek against his shoulder. His warm hand cupped the back of my head. We sat like that for a few minutes, and when I got my bearings, I lifted my head.
“Thank you for my punishment, Mr. Parker.”
“I do hope you’ve learned your lesson this time.”
I nodded. I honestly hadn’t meant to lie to him. It truly was an accident, but I wasn’t going to argue my point. It was over and done.
After a few minutes, I got to my feet and Mr. Parker pulled my panties up, then adjusted my skirt. He stood, then straightened his tie.
“Now, why don’t you take a few minutes to go back upstairs and check out what’s taking place in the conference room. And when you’re finished, you can get back to work. Ben and I are leaving for lunch.”
Okay. So when he put it that way, it sounded like a horrible idea. I shouldn’t have been spying on Luci in the first place.
“I think I’d rather go back to my desk now,” I told him.
“Is that another lie?”
I shook my head. It wasn’t. Not really.
Mr. Parker’s finger curled beneath my chin and he tilted my head back. I opened my eyes and met his heated stare.
He smiled and all thought fled.
“We’re going to have a good time, little rebel. As it is, I can’t stop thinking about you.”
My heart swelled. Memories from Wednesday night flooded me. The way he had fucked me…I’d never felt anything like it. Having Mr. Snowden there with us… It had been the most amazing night of my life.
I could only assume, based on everything that had happened thus far, that things were only going to get more intense.
“I can’t stop thinking about you, either,” I admitted, smiling up into his face.
When Mr. Parker leaned down and kissed me softly, I held back the moan that threatened.
It was bad enough I was already falling for them. The last thing I needed was them to figure it out.
Twenty-Nine
ADDISON
BY THE TIME EVERYONE DESCENDED on the hotel bar at six o’clock, things were getting lively. At Luci’s urging, I had walked over with her and Jordan. When we arrived, Dale was there, which was apparently a surprise to Jordan. After we got drinks and took a seat at a high table along the wall, we waited for the others to join us.
Not too much later, Landon and Langston appeared. While they ordered drinks at the bar, Luci went over to stand with them. Then Jordan excused himself, taking Dale’s hand and leading him to the other side of the bar.
