took a long breath, forcing his body to calm enough to handle her the way he wanted to. He put his hands on her waist, slid them down until they were under her bare, silky buttocks. Amazing skin on this woman; the texture of it. He gave her gorgeous breasts one last glance—they were some of the finest he’d ever seen, beautifully plump, with dark red nipples, making him think of her red mouth. They were hard as stones, a contrast against her pale, pale skin.
    He turned her, and she let him do it. He felt her yielding, knew her orgasms had something to do with it. That had he tried to take her over in this way before making her come, she’d have fought him more.
    He loved that it was working.
    Her back was just as beautiful as her breasts, her face: the soft lines and curves of her form, the sway of her lower back. Theplump buttocks, just rounded enough, and shaped like a heart. And her skin covered in a sinuous line of flowers, all done in classic Japanese style: chrysanthemums, lilies, cherry and plum blossoms, a few tiny orchids. Amazing detail. They were scattered over her fair flesh, from her right shoulder to her left hip, then curling just over the side of her hip and onto the top of her thigh. He’d caught sight of it when he’d gone down on her, but he’d been too distracted by her scent—all warm woman and perfume and need—to really focus on the design.
    He could barely focus now, even though he wanted to. He wanted to take her all in, to know every inch of her plush, flawless body. Exactly the kind of body he preferred, all beautifully rounded curves. Flesh he could hang on to. All the better for a good, hard spanking.
    He bent over her, leaned down to place a kiss between her shoulder blades. She was laying perfectly still, her arms over her head, which excited him in some strange way. He always loved compliance in a woman. But knowing how feisty this one was made it more thrilling.
    She trembled beneath his lips, just the tiniest bit. He kissed her again, softly, felt her answering shiver. He did it again and again, moving his mouth lower, until he reached that luscious valley at the small of her back. He let his tongue dart out. She squirmed in response. He moved lower, kissed the rise at the top of her firm buttocks, bit a little into the flesh.
    “Ah, Connor…”
    “Shh.”
    He laid another kiss there, bit again. Felt her quiet intake of breath. She remained quiet. Obeying him. He kissed his way back up her spine, slowly, enjoying the taste of her, her soft skin beneath his lips. He pushed her hair aside, saw the kanji symbols tattooed in a line down the back of her neck, the small black andamber Japanese fan done in exquisite detail where her neck met her hairline, above the kanji.
    “Spread your lovely thighs. Yes, that’s it.”
    He reached between them, pushed his fingers right into that wet heat, felt her pussy clench, hot and tight around his fingers.
    “Ah!”
    He pumped a few times, his cock growing impossibly hard.
    He had to have her soon. But first…
    He rose up and gave her ass a hard smack. She jumped a little, then he felt her body melt all over, inside and out.
    Oh, she was lovely, this girl. Her response was really something.
    He smacked her again. She jumped less this time, her body absorbing the impact. Her ass was growing pink already; her skin was that pale. He loved it.
    He paused to massage the flesh of her buttocks, lightly at first, then harder, working the pain in. He flexed his fingers in her pussy, pushed deeper, slipped them almost out. Then he smacked her ass, plunged his fingers deep inside her all at once, and she cried out.
    “Connor!”
    He stilled.
    “What is it?”
    “I just…God, do it again.”
    He smiled to himself. His cock pulsed with need. He said very quietly, “Just so you know, my girl, it doesn’t work that way. I had some idea you’d gotten the message earlier. But I’ll tell you plainly now, if you’re to play with me, then you’ll have to
