“Please…what are we doing?” she asked, her voice soft.

“Bend over,” I snarled at her. “Or did you forget today’s lesson?”

She hesitated for a moment before she lifted her skirt and placed her hands on the table. I pulled my hand back and landed a firm smack to her ass. She whimpered, and my cock jumped.

“Do you know why I’m punishing you?”

“For not coming to you last night, Professor West?” she rasped.

I smacked her again. Unprepared, she let out a yelp.

“Try again.”

“For not texting you back, Professor West?”

I landed another hit to her ass, and I watched it grow red in the shape of my hand. “Incorrect.”

She looked over her shoulder at me, and our eyes met. That’s when she knew that I knew.

“Go on.”

“Because I was with Chase last night?” Her voice shook.

I stepped closer to her and grabbed her by her throat, straightening her and holding her back to my chest. I put my mouth to her ear. “Open your mouth.”

I could sense her hesitation, but she opened for me. When she did, I stuffed her panties into her mouth to muffle her yelps.

“What part of no dating did you not understand? I said if you take this deal, you’re mine. I do not like to see another man with his tongue buried in what belongs to me.”

Her brows furrowed.

“That’s right. I saw everything. And to think I was about to reward you for being so good, but you haven’t been good. Have you? You’ve been acting like a little slut, running to whoever will give you what you want. Is that what you’ve become with no daddy to keep you in line, Evelyn? A little slut?”

Her eyes filled with tears.

“You know how disappointed he’d be in you, right?”

The tears rolled down her cheeks.

“You haven’t been trying hard enough to stay in school. What exactly have you been trying for? You’re sure as shit not trying to keep your grades up. It looks to me that the only thing you’re trying to do is get his attention.” I paused. “He doesn’t want you. You don’t actually believe that he does, do you?”

She closed her eyes, tears leaking through her long lashes.

“He just wants to use you like his own little plaything, but you’re mine. If anyone is going to play with you, it’ll be me.” I pushed her back against the desk, and I flipped up her skirtmyself. This time, I gave her more than one spanking. I smacked her red ass until my hand tingled and went numb. I smacked her ass until she had welts from my fingers. I smacked her bare ass until she had tears pooling on the desk, and her body shook.

I finally relented and pulled her up and spun her around to look at me.

“The next thing that goes in your mouth better be my dick, or I’ll give you a punishment you’ll never forget. Get your shit and get the fuck out.” I turned and walked away from her. I didn’t look back, but I heard her make a quick exit.

When I did finally turn around, I found myself in the class alone. Her tear-filled eyes were the only thing I could think about. I hated that I made her cry. I hated myself for the things I said to her. I hated that I took my aggression out on her.

I fell into my seat behind my desk and let my head fall back until I was staring up at the ceiling. I closed my eyes as I brought my hands up to rub them. They began to water, and my chest filled with annoyance because I knew the tears weren’t from rubbing at my eyes. They were real tears, brought on by thinking of the pain I caused her. I hated Gabe for our past. Part of me may have even hated Evelyn when all this started. But deep down, what I hated the most was myself.

I stood and gathered my things before writing a sign to post on the door that read CLASS CANCELLED. I taped it to the outside of the door and locked the classroom behind me.

I hightailed it to the facility parking lot before climbing behind the wheel of my Mercedes and driving straight home. I needed a stiff drink. I needed a quick fuck. I need a few hours in the gym to burn off my anger. Something told me the only thing I’d manage was the drink. I’d already figured out that no other woman could take the edge off. I wanted her. I needed her. And I wasn’t doing anything but fucking it up. I knew she’d never look at me the way she looked at Chase, but I also knew that I hadsomething Chase didn’t. I had moments from our past that could tug at her heartstrings. I just had to figure out how to do that after all the hurt I’d already caused.
