As Nathanâs eyes fixed on the redwood ruler clutched in Lucindaâs hand, a ripple of tension coursed through him.
âDarling, how do you want to punish me?â
Lucinda gently placed the rulerâs tip against his chin, her words tinged with mischief.
âNate, youâve asked for punishment, and I canât say no.
That means I have to take on the role of the disciplinarian.
â
Nathan was momentarily speechless, his thoughts racing.
Undeterred, Lucinda pressed on, her gaze unwavering.
âHow do you suggest I should punish you?â
Without hesitation, Nathan responded candidly, âEvery fiber of my being is yours to command.
Punish me as you see fit.
â
âReally?â Lucinda arched her eyebrow mischievously.
She held the ruler and slowly moved it down, gently tapping the area between Nathanâs legs.
âCan this spot get punished too?â
With a hint of trepidation, Nathanâs entire being trembled, his expression fraught with apprehension.
âAbsolutely not.
That realm is intertwined with our eternal happiness.
It is not for punishment but for cherishing.
â
Lucinda asked, âYou messed up! But now you want some cherishing? In your dreams!â
With a tender smile, Nathan leaned in, placing a gentle ki*s on her cheek.
âIâm sorry.
The choice is yours.
â
Lucindaâs ire began to dissipate.
Even though Lucinda was upset that Nathan hadnât been honest about a girl pursuing him, she still trusted that he wouldnât do anything wrong behind her back.
She trusted his love for her, but that didnât mean she was going to let Nathan off the hook easily tonight.
In a relationship, honesty is key.
She felt it was important to teach him this Lesson.
With this in mind, Lucinda pressed the button of Nathanâs shirt with a serious expression.
âLike always, strip down.
â
Nathan didnât hesitate as he removed his shirt.
His flawless physique and defined abs were revealed.
His tan hadnât faded, adding to his allure.
Noticing he hadnât proceeded, Lucinda gestured toward the belt around his waist and remarked, âForgot this again? Need a hand?â
With no other option, Nathan proceeded to remove the rest of his clothes.
Once done, he returned to his kneeling position.
Lucinda pointed at his left arm and said, âStretch out your hand.
â
Nathan followed her instructions, stretching out his left palm and offering it to her.
With a furious expression, Lucinda waved her arm and lifted the ruler.
