Owww….

His slap sends a sharp sting through my skin.

“Stand up,” he growls.

CHAPTER THREE

ALORA

I stand up, not because he told me to but because I’m infuriated. I turn toward him like the devil. “That’s the first and last time you ever hit me.”

Confusion crosses his face as my words roll around in his head. “It wasn’t a hit, it was a sexual slap.”

“It was out of fucking line, that’s what it was.” I don’t know what to say next without acting psychotic so I storm from the room, I find myself marching up the hallway to the bedroom. My blood is pumping hard through my body, is it arousal, is it rage, or is it sheer petrifaction…who knows?

Too much, too fast and way too much chemistry.

This is totally out of my depth and I’m freaking the hell out. I bust through the bedroom door, throw the robe on and begin to pace.

What am I doing here?

What the actual fuck am I doing here?

Getting my ass eaten by a god who wants to discipline me…that’s what?

I didn’t sign up for ass eating.

That’s…too in my regions…especially on a first date.

Only this isn’t a first date, it’s a kink club where anything goes and somewhere I paid a shit ton of money to be.

Ugh…what was I thinking?

I hear the front door click closed….

Wait.

Did he just leave?

I put my head into my hands, damn it.

Alora…what are you doing you idiot?

Can you not even be adventurous for just one weekend?

I drop my robe and walk to the mirror and turn to look at my behind. A large red handprint marks my skin.

How fucking dare he?

I drag my robe back on and I hit the button to open the heavy drapes.

It’s blatantly obvious that I’m not cut out for this type of thing. No wonder he left.

Damn it, disappointment runs through me. Especially now I know how gorgeous he is.

As the drapes slowly open they reveal a large sunken spa on the balcony overlooking the beautiful valley down below. It’s hot and bubbling, steam is rising into the air, and I give a weak smile. A hot spa bath in the freezing cold in Switzerland…who would have thunk it? This place is a complete mindfuck.

I get a vision of him on his knees behind me…and his tongue…. I feel a throb deep down below.
