“If you want me to stop, then I will stop, and we will come up with other punishment.” He didn’t want that. Any other punishment would make mutually satisfying sex impossible for a while. Any other punishment would involve withholding her orgasm. He really didn’t want that. His hands were itching to touch that gloriously round ass.
“I think I can handle it. Well, I hope I can. Jen seems to like it well enough, and I’ve heard Rachel and Callie mention something about it. I think I can handle it if they can.” She took his outstretched hand and let him place her over his lap. She was awkward at first, but she sighed finally and relaxed.
And he was left staring at the prettiest backside he’d ever seen. The globes of Holly’s ass were round and perfectly formed. He touched the dimples in the small of her back. They dipped gracefully and curved into her cheeks. She shivered under his hands.
Caleb came to stand in front of them. He pulled the T-shirt over his head and tossed it aside before getting down on one knee. He had the tube of lubricant Alexei had purchased earlier in the day at The Trading Post along with the condoms. Alexei had been surprised at the wide variety the small store carried.
Caleb was staring at her ass. “We’re going to have to prepare her if you want to share her properly.”
Properly? There was nothing proper about what he wanted to do with Holly. He wanted to fill all of her holes. He wanted to possess her in every way possible. But Caleb was right. She needed to be prepared. And he needed to find out if Holly would like his particular kink.
He brought his hand up and down in a short quick arc. The sound snapped through the room.
Holly’s whole body tensed and a little shriek came out of her mouth. “Damn it, Alexei! You have to warn a girl.”
The little dushka didn’t understand who was in control. Alexei was more than happy to teach her. Five quick slaps, alternating cheeks. Her lovely ass was curvy but firm. On the final slap, he rubbed her cheeks, reveling in the heat of her skin. She tried to come up, but he gently pressed her back down. “You do not make rules here. I make rules here and rule one is to call one of your men when danger is around you.”
Another five. Her ass was pinkening up beautifully. Her legs kicked a little, but she didn’t really fight him. If she had, he would have stopped immediately. He loved to play the game, but he never wanted to hurt her. Only little bites of pain to make the pleasure more overwhelming.
“Look at that.” Caleb’s hand came out and touched the now hot-pink cheek. He didn’t look disgusted with the process. He looked like he might start to drool at any minute. Alexei was certain Caleb could give a million and one medical reasons for why an erotic spanking was stimulating, but his mouth was silent for once.
“She owes me five more. You wish to give?” Alexei had made his mind up to share with Caleb a long time before. He wouldn’t back down now. If Caleb wanted to play these games, Alexei would cede a bit of control to him.
Caleb swallowed. “I don’t know. I don’t mind watching, but I think I’ll sit this part out. You can be the one who spanks her. I’ll just be the one who shoves a couple of fingers up her ass afterward.”
“Gee, thanks, Caleb,” Holly said.
Two more. The flesh of her ass quivered, and she moaned. Each strike of his hand against her flesh caused Alexei’s cock to tighten. “No sarcasm when punishment is happening.”
“I don’t think he should shove fingers up my ass, Alexei.” Holly’s voice was strained, her breath rasping in and out of her mouth.
Alexei frowned. He stroked her bottom, letting his fingers trace the crack of her ass. One day he would part those cheeks and force his dick in. She would take him. She would welcome him into the most intimate parts of her body. “I wish I could tell you he will be gentle, but I think he did not do well in this part of his school. He obviously miss the day they trained in gentleness.”
Caleb’s face split in a wide grin and he laughed, his head falling back a little. It was a full-throated laugh, unselfconscious. He’d never heard that sound come out of Caleb’s mouth. It was good to hear the man laugh, even if it had been a humiliating experience. “I promise to treat Holly’s sweet little rectum with far more gentleness than I treated yours.”
“What?” Holly practically came off his lap.
Two more slaps and she calmed down. Holly obviously needed a firm hand. “Our friend was very thorough in his examination. He says I must to do every year, but I think I find different doctor.”
“You checked his prostate so he could have sex with me?” Holly asked, trying to turn her face up.
Caleb’s hand stroked her hair. “No, I checked his prostate because that’s what doctors do when they’re pissed off. It’s a perk of the job. I’m going to very gently work my fingers in your ass because eventually I want to shove my cock up there without too much discomfort to you. I have to stretch you out. I’d prefer a plug, but fingers will work for tonight. But Alexei probably does need a check done every now and then. Do you have any history of colon cancer in your family?”
Caleb was such a frustrating man. Alexei had to get him back to the job at hand.
“No to the doctoring now, Caleb. Please to prepare fingers for ass.” Alexei slapped her one last time and rubbed the spot he’d hit. So hot and pink. He let his fingers travel lower. He could already smell the musk of her arousal, but he wanted to feel it, taste it. She’d liked the spanking. He could play with her. He could gradually introduce her to more exotic forms of play. He could see her bound and waiting for his pleasure. “You are not angry with me for spanking?”
She groaned as he lightly touched her pussy, teasing little strokes. “No. Please, Alexei. The spanking was nice, but I need more.”
She was wet. So wet. His fingers slid easily through her juices. He let his middle finger slip just inside her cunt. Her little pussy muscles clenched around his finger. He fucked that single finger in and out of her pussy. He could practically feel her vibrating with frustration.
“You will get more,” Alexei said, feeling a smile cross his face. “But not until you work for it.”
Chapter Nine
Holly was pretty sure she was ready to scream. Work for it? She was going crazy. What Alexei had called punishment had felt like the most exquisite torture. At first the pain had stung and bit into her skin. But then she’d been struck by the erotic quality of it. She’d felt small and vulnerable across Alexei’s knee. It had been a very long time since she’d felt delicate and feminine. She’d found herself breathlessly waiting to see what exactly he would do.
And it had been possible for one reason and one reason only. She trusted him. She was shocked to find that she trusted this man implicitly. Maybe it was the earnest, heartfelt letters he’d sent every month they were apart. Maybe it was the fact that he’d been willing to sacrifice his life to save a group of strangers, but she knew deep down that this was a man who she could trust.
She could love him if she let herself.
She wasn’t going there. Way, way too early for that.
Alexei’s legs spread wide and she found herself being shifted from his lap to the floor between his legs. The rug beneath her was soft from years of use. Her hands came up on Alexei’s knees for balance.
“You do very well, dushka.” Alexei’s dark eyes seemed unbearably hot. His hair had fallen over his forehead. He looked like a gorgeous angel, fallen from heaven. So dominant.
“You did spectacularly well.” Caleb’s hand found her head. She sighed at the feeling.
