“Buy the ticket, take the ride.” Hunter S. Thompson

It took a few seconds for the sheer embarrassment of what had just happened to settle over me. Not only had this man

just spanked me over his knee like a disobedient child, but some twisted part of me had actually liked it. Had been turned

on by it. And he knew it.

Griffin continued to stroke my hair and comfort me ~as if that was supposed to make up for “punishing” me.

How dare he?

He might’ve been sad I ran away from him, but he drugged me and spanked me ~ he’s the twisted one here, not me.

With red on my cheeks ~ both sets, I was sure – I shoved him away forcefully. Griffin must’ve been surprised by my movement because he actually moved with my push, and I scooted back on the bed.

Of course, with a stinging ass, trying to scoot back on my butt was not my smartest move. I swallowed a hiss of pain. I

didn’t want Griffin to see that his punishment had actually caused me pain, but I couldn’t lie to myself ~ the spanking

had hurt. Unfortunately, I must not have done a very good job of schooling my expression because Griffin saw right

through me.

“Are you hurting, little fox?” he said. His tone was full of mock sympathy and he was smirking – the bastard actually had

the audacity to smirk. “Tell me what’s causing you pain. I’ll kiss it better.”

As if he doesn’t know exactly what body part is aching right now.

“Fuck you,” I growled, moving further away on the bed. I was careful not to put any weight on my actual ass, I didn’t
