leave.”
“Bullshit.”
He ignored her outburst. “At first, I thought those were your mother’s sentiments alone, but now I know you at least partially believe them.” He leaned back as if to assess her. “Your father did quite a number on you both, I think.”
“Conversation over.”
“See? I hit a nerve.” He shrugged. “Your reluctance to discuss it further only proves me right.”
Anger and panic bubbled, an acid to her insides. “I-I can’t talk about it now. Please.”
He nodded in agreement. “I’ll back down for now. But you must answer one question first. Then I’ll drop it for the time being. All right?”
“Yes.”
“Your father abandoned you and your mother and you’re still angry. Correct? That calls for a yes or no.”
Pam didn’t want to answer at all, but she knew if she resisted, he’d badger her until she caved. “Yes,” she replied.
His expression didn’t change. “Thank you.” He leaned toward her, his face intent. “Understand this. I am not your father. I would never abandon anyone who depended on me. I’ve made my share of mistakes, but I own up to them and try to do better the next time. I don’t form strong ties, then carelessly break them. That’s why I backed off from you.”
“I don’t understand.”
He gripped her shoulders. “I knew I was starting to bond with you, and a permanent break would gut me. Also, once I created a bond, well…” His voice trailed off. “That’s not easy for anyone to realize, especially a guy who likes control.”
“Oh.” She’d never thought of it that way.
He regarded her for a moment. “Forgive?” he asked.
Pamela crawled onto his lap. “Yes. Forgive me too?”
Jared smiled. “Of course.” He pulled back. “From now on, we must make every attempt to communicate like this. Promise?”
“Promise.” She placed her head on Jared’s chest and melted into him. It wasn’t long before a raging hard-on poked her in the hip. She wiggled a bit and smiled inwardly when his erection twitched in response.
“Take off your clothes.” His voice was deep, commanding.
This time, she didn’t hesitate. She stood in front of him, running her hands up and down her arms, feeling utterly exposed.
“Stop fidgeting. Hands at your sides.”
She obeyed, eyes on her scarlet toenails.
“Look at me, Pam.”
She looked into his dark, fathomless depths. When he reached out and lifted her chin, her heart fluttered at his touch. “Don’t break eye contact with me while we play tonight. I want to see your every emotion, be it good, bad, or indifferent. No hiding your thoughts or your responses. Understood?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Good. Now move to the middle of the room and kneel.”
Despite her unsteady legs, Pam managed the task albeit with little grace. She looked up expectantly, striving to remain composed and focused on him.
His heated gaze slid over her body and a warm glow coursed through her. “Spread your legs wider. I want to see my pretty pussy.”
Eager to please, she spread her thighs farther apart.
Jared walked around and crouched to adjust her position. “Good posture is essential,” he instructed, the tips of his fingers stroking her back and neck.
Pam kept her spine straight and her gaze lowered until he stepped in front of her. “Sir…” she began.
“Hush,” he admonished. “Don’t speak until I give you permission or ask a question. Place your hands on your thighs, palms up.”
She hastened to comply and his features softened a fraction.
“Excellent. This is the position that I prefer when you kneel. Will you remember this for me?”
“I’ll remember,” she promised.
“Now hurry to my bedroom. Find a pillow or two. Place them at the foot of the bed and kneel on them. Face the windows, with your back to the doorway.”
Pamela rose and rushed toward the bedroom. Before turning the corner to his room, she looked behind her. His burning gaze was fixed on her retreating ass, and she
