Vanished Pride (The Seven Sin Sisters 4) by Paloma Beck

And that together we were going to
make it perfect?” Donovan’s voice was calm. He didn’t sound angry and that only
made Paige feel worse about hurting him. “You need to consider more than just
yourself, Principessa , and you need
to entertain the possibility that I can take care of you as your mate.” Donovan
patted her sensitive cheeks before hardening his voice, “For the final five,
focus only on the sensations I provide. I need to give you these last strokes.”
    “I
can’t. Donovan, please, I get it and I feel terrible for what I did but please
no more,” Paige grabbed onto his hands and held them.
    “The
final five. Now move your hands. I recommend you hold onto the far edge of the
table.”
    Paige
was frightened. She could recall the final five strokes from her last spanking
and they bad been the harshest he’d given her, yet still were lighter than the
spoon. Her mind was spinning with the possibilities of the pain to come. Why
did he need to do this? She’d learned her lesson. Anger at him and at herself
swirled around her in streams of colorful light.
    Paige
startled when she felt him stroke over her flesh with his bare hands. Then he pulled
apart her cheeks and slid his fingers down her cleft, brushing lightly until he
reached her folds. Donovan searched out her center, his fingers tickling her
with feather light touches before a finger slid deep inside her core.
    She
gave herself over and relaxed into his touch, raising her bottom seeking out more.
Paige was lost to the sensations of Donovan thrusting his thick finger in and
out of her while his thumb found her clit and drew it out from hiding. Her mind
was focused on his touch as the first of five strokes blazed across her ass.
The slaps of the rubber spoon burned and vibrated a terrible sting while his
fingers brought her close to the edge of an orgasm. How could she be so close
to such pleasure while this pain continued to explode across her ass?
    Paige
cried out as another slap came down, tears flowing down her cheeks, and yet
couldn’t help but reach for more at the same time. “Good girl, Princess. Mind
over matter. We’re going to end this on a happy note. I promise it’ll help.”
    Paige
couldn’t respond as the last strokes, done while he touched her so privately,
were simply too much to contain. She was ready to explode, burst and come
apart. She shuddered when the final stroke burned more deeply than all the
others. She screamed out as so many emotions raced through her. Donovan’s hand
was tapping her clit. Her muscles were clenching and unclenching.
    “Let
everything go. Relax and let go so I can catch you,” Donovan leaned over her
and spoke into Paige’s ear. His breath was warm and caused shivers. He
continued to tap her sensitive bundle of nerves until her legs shook. Then her
whole body began shaking. “That’s it, Principessa .
Let all that energy out and I’ll catch you.”
    Her
inner muscles clenched down tightly and the first tremor hit out of nowhere as Paige
screamed out an orgasm she hadn’t expected. She wasn’t sure how long it went on
but when Paige opened her eyes, she was in Donovan’s arms.
    “Well
done, Paige,” Donovan grinned at her.
    Why
did that make her feel so shy?

 
 
 
    Chapter Six

 
    Donovan wasn’t happy when he’d woken up alone. He’d become reliant on
Paige being in his bed since they’d spent the past week together nearly
constantly. Donovan had taken his role as bodyguard seriously and shadowed her
wherever she went. He couldn’t say he minded, but this, the waking up alone
thing, he did mind. They were supposed to celebrate their Pronouncement today. Where
could his mate have gone off?  
    Donovan slipped on loose pajama pants and looked for Paige in the
kitchen. He found her there, though not cooking as he’d assumed. She was
sitting in the window seat reading from one of his old history books. Donovan
had been surprised at how little she knew about their history.
