Excerpt:
“You
always have to keep pushing. You know what, we’re not going to even bother your
parents with any of this. There’s no way I’m going to watch you unravel and
ruin your friendship over some perceived wrongdoing. This gets settled right
here and right now.”
Turning
her around Jake frog marched the girl he’d been falling in love with the last
two years to her bed, and without ceremony, had her over his knee. Damp skin
and skimpy swimwear eliminated the need for him to bare her. If Belle were lost
for words or unsure about what was coming next, the smacking sound that bounced
off her walls and back to her ears confirmed her fear. He couldn’t seriously be
doing this, today, and after ending things. Her blood was boiling. He wasn’t
stopping. Things were getting out of hand. Smack, after smack, after smack
landed on her upturned bottom and the building heat was hard to ignore. His
hand was even harder.
“You are
such an ass! I hate you, Jake Martin. I hate you with everything in me and I
will never forgive you.”
“All you
had to do was talk to me. But, no you had to sneak around, start a fight, cause
a scene, and bring the chances of anyone enjoying the rest of the day to a
screeching halt. If, you can’t get yourself under control, I’ll send everyone
home and let your parents know exactly what went on here today. Geez, Belle, I
haven’t seen you like this in forever and I can’t say I missed it!”
