worry about a thing. I’ll just put it back in the safe so it’s out of the way.” Without looking at Lily, Joyce walked back into the bedroom.
By the time she’d returned, Lily had willed back the tears that threatened. Joyce’s eyes had been bright, but she kept the tears at bay. She put her arm around Lily and said, “I feel better going into this tomorrow knowing I’ve prepared you for what to do if something goes wrong.”
Lily had hugged her mother fiercely.
Lily tried to put the memory of that folder out of her mind as she scrubbed the bathroom floor.
“Well,” Jake drawled from behind her, “isn’t that a pretty sight?”
Lily didn’t even look over her shoulder. “Get lost, Jake.”
“What’s the matter, baby?” Jake said, patting her ass casually.
Lily stood up abruptly and turned on him. “I mean it,” she said. “Fuck off.”
Seeing the unshed tears in her eyes, Jake straightened. “Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” She stormed out of the bathroom and headed for the bedroom.
Jake followed her into the bedroom, and she turned on him abruptly. “Are you leaving?” she asked firmly.
“Not until I know what’s wrong.”
“Fine,” she said abruptly, and then she started to strip.
“What are you doing?” Jake asked in a croak.
Once she was naked, she turned on him, her expression fierce. Suddenly, she grabbed his hair and pulled him forward into a desperate kiss.
“Slow down,” he tried to say in between her frantic kisses.
“No,” she said. She leaned back and grabbed the hem of his T-shirt, pulling it over his head. She bent down and bit his pectoral muscle, hard.
Jake jerked then groaned. Without thought, he grabbed her ass and ground up against her. She rubbed her breasts across his chest, abrading the nipples.
Jake immediately moved his hand to her breast and squeezed, plucking at her firm nipples.
“Harder,” she demanded.
He pinched her nipple, and she started to writhe against him.
“Harder,” she said again, her voice almost feral.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Jake said. Lily put her hand over his and squeezed his fingers over her nipple much harder than he would have ever done.
Lily shuddered and let out a long hard moan.

Jake broke.
He had never been so turned on in his life. He’d never been into sadomasochistic games, but Lily’s obvious need for sensual pain went to his head like fire. He picked up and tossed her onto the bed.
Lily wiggled on the bed, her hand going between her legs. “Jake, fuck me. Make me forget.”
Suddenly everything was clear to him. Lily’s heart hurt. She was scared, and she needed a distraction. He didn’t know if he was doing the right thing, but he decided if this was the kind of distraction she needed, he was going to give it to her.
“Turn over,” he ordered, his tone as domineering as he could make it.
Lily immediately turned over. Jake stripped his clothes and took his belt off. He snapped it, causing her head to jerk in his direction. When she moaned, he knew he was on the right track.
Lily watched him approach, her eyes wide. He snapped the belt again and watched her ass tense. When he reached her, he made a loop with his belt and hooked it around the bedpost. He then trussed up Lily’s hands with it. Her groan this time sounded disappointed.
He’d give Lily what she needed, but there was no way he was going to hit her with a belt, no matter what she thought she wanted.
He grabbed a pillow and shoved it under her pelvis, pushing her ass up in the air. He gave her ass a hard slap before spreading her legs. He could see her pussy glistening.
“Beautiful,” he said before slapping her again. This time he left a red handprint on her butt cheek.
“Again,” she cried.
Jake started spanking her rhythmically. Every third or fourth slap, he’d rub his hand over her hot pink flesh. While he did, he pushed his fingers into her now sopping pussy.
She trembled and moaned in
