“Thank you, sir,” Aspen said with grateful tears in her eyes. Could this be over?
“You want to keep the dog?” the officer asked, studying their faces closely.
“He’s ours,” Jerico answered.
“I’m glad,” the policeman stated with a nod and left with the folder in his hand.
“Thank you, Savannah,” Jerico called to the neighbor, who still hovered on her back patio.
“We look out for each other here,” she answered before going back inside.
“I’ve never even talked to her,” Aspen whispered.
“It doesn’t matter. Not here. There are too many military families scattered in with others. People learn to look out for each other. By tomorrow, Eddie won’t be able to drive into the neighborhood without an alert going up. Give me a kiss, baby. I’ve missed you.”
Aspen threw her arms around his neck and held on tight as she pressed her mouth to his, trying to show him how much she’d missed him as well. He lasted about ten seconds before taking over the kiss. His mouth demanded a response, making her heart beat faster for an entirely different reason than it had a few minutes ago.
“Let’s go inside, baby. The neighbors don’t need to see me spank your ass.”
CHAPTER 21
She followed him into the house before asking, “Spank me? Why? I didn’t do anything wrong!”
“You should have called the police immediately when he showed up.” Jerico dropped to one knee and greeted Rexy with playful pets. He gave the dog a last pat and dropped a kiss on his fluffy head before telling Rexy, “Your momma was bad, and Daddy’s going to make sure she acts differently. Go get in your safe place.”
The dog obediently picked up a toy and trotted down the hallway, leaving them alone.
Watching the dog disappear, she swallowed hard. This was happening.
“I had my phone ready to go,” Aspen protested when he stood back up.
“That’s not good enough, baby.” Jerico closed the shades on the back window and door before sitting down in a chair. “Come here, little girl.”
“I shouldn’t get punished because he’s a bad guy,” she protested, walking forward automatically.
“You’re not getting spanked because Eddie is scum. I’m spanking you because you put yourself in danger.”
She knew from his expression that she wasn’t escaping from this punishment. “I’m sorry.”
“All I can picture is what could have happened if I hadn’t come home. From now on, call the police the minute you see him.”
“I will. I promise,” she said, squirming in front of him as he unfastened her pants. Maybe she could distract him. “I’m glad you’re home.”
He rubbed the front of the pullup she’d worn all day to pretend he was home and taking care of her. His gaze rose to meet hers. Inhaling swiftly at the heat that radiated from his eyes, Aspen felt the arousal he’d fueled with that scorching kiss explode.
“Just so you know, I’m going to fuck the hell out of you as soon as your bottom is red.” He stripped her thin diaper and jeans down to her ankles and lifted her easily to stretch her over his hard thighs.
“We could just skip this part and go to the bedroom.” Aspen peeked at him over her shoulder and wiggled her bottom in what she hoped was a seductive move.
“We won’t make it to the bed, baby.”
His heavy hand landed on her rounded bottom, taking her breath away with the first spank. Others rained down on her, making her squirm as she tried to avoid the punishment. The flares of stinging heat blurred together as he scattered his swats over her buttocks and upper thighs.
Slumping over his lap, she stopped struggling. Each spank seemed to wipe away some of the guilt she felt for bringing trouble into his life. Tears filled her eyes and dropped to the floor. His hand stopped smacking her bottom and rubbed it tenderly.
“I love you, Daddy.”
He lifted her to sit on one leg. She gasped as her punished flesh landed on his rough pants. His hand threaded through her hair and his fingers tightened on the strands, controlling her movements.
“I love you, baby. You will take care of yourself better.”
“I will,” she promised, nodding as much as his hold would allow her. She loved the slight bite of pain. His dominance made her squeeze her thighs together as her arousal welled from her pussy.
Jerico held her eyes with his as he brought her face to his own. “You’re mine, little girl.”
“Yours, Daddy.”
His mouth captured hers in a tender kiss that made her toes curl in anticipation. Slowly, his kisses became hotter as he seduced her. She clung to him, wanting more. Aspen lifted one hand to caress him. Tangling it in the material of his shirt, she quickly unfastened the buttons to reach his chiseled body. She stroked over his torso, finding gauze wrapped around him.
Aspen pushed urgently on his chest, ripping her mouth from his. “You’re hurt.”
