Chapter 56 Consequence II

• I swallow the last remaining ounce of saliva in my mouth leaving it as dry as a barren wasteland. His words frighten me but I feel my core tighten in response to his aura. His dominance sucks nearly all the air out of the room.
• I hear him moving behind me but I don't dare turn around and face him. He rustles through something and I could have sworn I heard him leave the room and head into the kitchen. I think back to the incident with the wooden spoon in my parents' New York brownstone with a shiver. Is that what he has planned?
• Daniel returns a few moments later and I feel his large hand slightly tease my heated flesh. He gives my abused ass a rough squeeze and I let out a gasp of surprise. Daniel doesn't give me his usual response. This time, he's entirely silent and his movements are sure--almost methodical--as he lightly traces the tips of his fingers lower, and lower, until his fingers find that one place I've since forbidden him to go.
