He’ll
teach her to love her body…one spanking at a time.
Brienna
Morgan has worked hard to look good. Ten years ago she stuck to the shadows,
watching the popular kids, wishing she could be one of them. But when they
weren’t calling her cruel names, nobody noticed the smart overweight girl with
the glasses.
So
when she braves her high school reunion and runs into Kade McBride, the boy she
loved from afar, the last thing she wants is for him to remember her. It’s bad
enough she still sees that girl every time she looks in the mirror. But Kade
does remember—and he makes it impossible for Brie to refuse to go out with him.
She’s not convinced it’s a good idea, but she can’t pass up the opportunity to
be part of the in crowd.
Kade
had no desire to go to his high school reunion. As far as he’s concerned, he’d
rather forget those days. Especially the day he screwed up and left his best
friend to pay the ultimate price. But when he sees the gorgeous woman enter the
gym, he’s immediately drawn to her. Regardless of her claims that she’s not the
girl he thinks he remembers, Kade realizes maybe he’s been given a second
chance to right at least one wrong from his past. And he’s determined not to
throw this opportunity away, even if he has to tie Brienna to a spanking bench
to prove his point.

When the
song ended, she tried to step away, but he refused to release her and instead
tightened his hold, sliding smoothly into the next dance. His behavior shocked
him. He kept his hips tipped slightly away. It was an awkward position and it
put a strain on his back, but better that than have her feel his erection
pressed to her stomach.
“Brienna?”
he murmured next to her ear.
“Yeah?”
“You were
the pretty girl who always hung back near the edge of the crowd.”
He heard her
intake of air. She shook her head and stiffened, then tried to withdraw, but he
held tight, this time close enough she had to feel his cock. His fingers
caressed the dip at the bottom of her spine. She trembled.
“You used to
watch me. I remember I envied how smart you were, how attractive.”
She pushed
out a harsh laugh. “I already told you, Kade, you’re mixing me up with somebody
else.”
“It’s not
too late, you know.” His lips brushed the shell of her ear.
“Too late?”
she squeaked.
“To get to
know the people you went to school with.”
She placed
her hands flat on his chest and pushed. “Let me go, Kade. Please.”
“Why?”
“Because I
asked you to.”
Kade dropped
his arms to his sides.
She took two
solid steps away from him and clutched her hands in front of her. “Thank you
for the drink and the dance, but I need to…to leave. Excuse me.”
“But you
just got here.” He mentally kicked himself for coming on so strong and scaring
her off, especially when there could be nothing between them other than two
would-be friends reconnecting.
She closed
her eyes, bit her lip, and then opened them and looked straight at him. “I just
think it’s time for me to leave.”
She
navigated her way back to their table. Kade followed, taking in the other
couples dancing, the people laughing and reminiscing. Groups were gathered
around photo collages set up around the room. A photo booth in the corner had a
long line of people waiting to have their pictures taken with old friends while
wearing silly hats and glasses.
When she
reached the table she snatched up her purse and turned to him. “I’m sure there
are plenty of people here who you do know,” she said. “The people you were actually
friends with.” Her gaze dropped to the floor. “Maybe the person you’re actually
looking for is here somewhere.” She focused on him one last time and then
glanced at something over his shoulder. “In fact, it looks like one of your old
friends has spotted you, and she seems to be anxious to talk to you.” She
nodded her head in the direction they’d come from. “Thank you for the dance,
Kade.”
Kade swung
around, hoping to dissuade whoever was coming up behind him. Kim glided across
the room, a look of determination on her face.
When he spun
back to Brienna, she was gone.

“My God, you
are so fucking sexy.”
Brie sighed
and tipped her head back on the pillow, trying to see his facial features in
the shadows. “You like?” She pitched her voice low, hoping to come across
sultry, like the vixen she’d always wanted to be, then held her breath waiting
for his response, anxious for his appraisal.
The man
lowered his large body over hers, caging her between his arms. His muscular
calves brushed along the outside of hers. He held most of his weight above her,
but she reveled in the heat coming off him. With a slight bend of his arms, he
leaned down close to her ear and growled, sending a shiver of desire rolling
through her.
He nipped
her earlobe. “Oh, yeah, baby. I like. A lot.”
He stroked
his tongue along the outer rim of her ear, dipped in and swirled around. Even
though she couldn’t see him well in the dark, she knew him. Knew all about him.
Wanted every inch of him.
His warm
breath fluttered over her face. She let her eyes drift closed as she rolled her
head to the right, pressing her chin into the pillowcase, giving him better
access.
He trailed
that wet tongue of his down to the spot on her neck, right smack in the middle
between her ear and the slope of her shoulder, the one spot that after all
these nights he knew drove her crazy. His mouth opened, heat scorched her skin,
and his lips latched on. He stilled and she held her breath in anticipation. He
sucked and she arched into the exquisite sensation, while fighting the
instinctive urge to pull away before it became too much.
His weight
dropped down, pinning her hips in place. She’d waited for this, wanted it
forever.
“I’m going
to eat you up, baby,” he whispered roughly. “This tiny scrap of lace you’re
wearing is gorgeous and highlights your sweet nipples and luscious breasts,
never mind your hot-as-hell pussy. But I’m going to strip it away faster than
you can blink and lick every sweet spot on your body. I’m going to tie you in
knots, fuck you hard and fast until it’s only me your body craves. No other
man, Brienna. This is all mine. You are all mine.”
“Yes.” She
gasped as he returned to his mark on her neck and increased the pressure.
“Yours. All yours.”
She
whimpered when he drew away to place kisses down in the valley between her
breasts, his face buried between the generous mounds, near, yet so far from her
rigid nipples.
Then he paid
those nipples homage. He teased each one, moving between them, tempting them.
Leaving them wanting, begging for attention. Like two little soldiers they
stood straight and tall, poking through the lace she’d spent a small fortune
on, eager for his praise. Some things were worth the sacrifice.
He made them
wait. Instead he lavished an assault down the inside of her left arm, stopping
at the crease of her elbow to lick and suck, leaving tiny love bites, marks
she’d happily wear.
He continued
his journey until he reached her hand. While she watched, he sucked each
finger, one by one, deep into the warmth of his mouth. His tongue swirled
around the digit, lapping at the web of skin between each and then leaving the
gentlest of kisses on the very tip of each before he moved on to the next. Even
though his face remained in the shadows, she sensed his eyes focused on her the
entire time.
He treated
her other hand with the same dedication and then started down her legs.
Brienna
squirmed.
“Stay still,
Brienna.” He chuckled, a low, dangerous but oh-so-sexy rumble. “Or I’ll have to
start all over.”
Oh, and always a happily ever after.
