Hold Me Close by Eliza Gayle Page A

“Yes, Sir. I need to finish this.” At least she thought she could. She expected these last three would be the worst. For whatever reason, Dex had opted not to hold back on her punishment and her ability to not only take it, but also derive a certain mixture of pain and pleasure from it stunned her. Although she wanted the pleasure now.  
    The warmth of his body pressed against hers disappeared and Bonnie braced for the remaining spanks. Seconds ticked by and nothing happened. Dex remained silent behind her and some of the heat in her lower half began to recede. She started to turn and look at him.
    His hand pressed into her back and stilled her. “Stay in position and wait patiently, girl.”  
    The deep voiced command skated up her spine and shook her body with chills. This was a different Dex than she was used to. With her mind so focused on his voice and her body position, she failed to realize he’d moved until the belt landed in a fiery strike across both butt cheeks. Her body jerked from the force and his hand pressed harder against her back, holding her in place. She tried to breathe through her nose to calm the burst of pain when the ninth blow landed perfectly below the curve of her rear at the top of her thighs.  
    Virgin territory.  
    She bucked and screamed as tears sprang from her eyes. The tenth and final lash landed across the same newly burning flesh and Bonnie screamed again as the tears freely flowed down her cheeks. She thought she saw the belt land somewhere on the bed when Dex’s body wrapped around hers and his soothing voice sounded at her ear.
    “That’s it, baby girl. Let it out. So good.” His hands touched her everywhere as she cried underneath him. The harsh reality of the pain gave way to the cathartic process of tears as she forgave herself for all the wrong choices she’d made lately.  
    Dex rolled her to her side and kissed his way from her neck to her cheeks where he licked away her tears of relief and remorse.  
    “Shhh. It’s all better now, my Bonnie sub.” His fingers sifted through her hair and she sank into his warmth. “It’s all good,” he said, continuing to reassure her.  
    The more he touched and stroked, the more she realized how aroused she’d become. Dex’s giving her pain made her feel good, way beyond the normal cleansing of a punishment. The heat. Oh my God, the heat felt good. And she couldn’t miss the insistent press of his hardness at her hip. He’d gotten as turned on as she had.  
    “You think too much.” As if he wanted to distract her he bent and sucked a hardened nipple into his mouth. His tongue laved and his hands cupped and lifted her so he could get more into his mouth.  
    Bonnie groaned. Every feel-good pleasure point she had was hot and ready for more. And with every pull of his mouth, she felt a matching tug deep in her core.  
    “Dex, please.” She wanted him inside her so badly, she couldn’t stand it.
    “Mmm.” The moan only enhanced the exquisite sensations created by his mouth. The man had a wicked tongue and he damned well knew how to use it. He also might have been reading her mind because his lips curved into a smile just as he pulled from one breast and attacked the other with the same fervor.  
    Her head lolled back against the pillow as she fought for air to keep her lungs from exploding. Everything else too. The throbbing between her legs was driving her mad. When she turned to try and find some source of friction to end her misery, he unwound her arms now wrapped around his back.
    “Not yet, my little minx. I’m in charge here, remember?”
    As if she could forget. Her exasperated sigh was met with a chuckle as he grabbed her hips and pushed her back on her stomach. “If I recall correctly, I promised you an ass fucking you’d never forget.”
    She bit her lip and sucked in air. His dirty talk got to her every time. As much as he enjoyed making her beg to be touched, she enjoyed it even more when he got
