Read Valentine's Cowboy for Free Online

shorts-covered bottom. Never in her life had she been dragged over someone’s knee. Never had anyone dared to spank her. She was outraged, furious, thinking murderously…and beginning to be in considerable pain. But she absolutely refused to cry out, other than to demand he stop this nonsense. Or to threaten the disgusting cowboy’s life, which she had done repeatedly at the start. That reaction had only irritated him more. Her poor bottom had suffered for that.
    “You are the most aggravating woman I’ve ever met,” Sam said in something like a growl. He went right on spanking her as he sat on one of the chairs from the dining room table. “A spoiled brat who clearly needs her fanny heated.”
    As a particularly hard swat hit the lower part of her buttocks again, she kicked her legs straight out and arched backward. “You should know all about being ‘aggravating!’” she hissed. Once more she tried to squirm free of the determined hold he had on her.
    “I’m not a brat. That is a child. I’m a grown woman.” She started to twist around so she could bite his leg through his jeans, but thought better of it and simply blew out a deep, frustrated breath. He’d seen and known what she’d planned to do, mainly because she’d already tried that. It had only gotten her a sound round of even harder spanks.
    “As far as I’ve learned, there’s no age limit for being a brat.” He punctuated the comment with two more biting swats. “You behaved like a child, not a grown woman. A sensible adult doesn’t attempt to slam a door on someone.”
    He delivered two more hard swats that had her sucking in deep breaths. “She doesn’t threaten to do serious injury to a man’s pride and joy.”
    Her bottom felt on fire. It burned, burned, burned. As did her face. It flamed in embarrassment. He was right. For some insane reason she’d opened the door, spotted him, and tried to slam the door against him, even though he had taken a step forward. If he hadn’t reacted so quickly, she’d probably have broken his nose. Then, horrified at what she’d done, she’d made the situation worse by lambasting him with threats to his person.
    His hand rested on her tender bottom and she warily said, “I’ve never acted like that before. You-you…I don’t know. When I’m around you, I do crazy things. Say crazy things.”
    Now his hand was moving in soothing circles, which made her feel warm and wet in a place not far from his fingertips. She clenched her buttocks and gasped in distress. “Are we done now? Can I get up?”
     
    Sam stopped moving his hand over the sweet, warm bottom. It had been quite a spell since he’d given his sister a spanking. Other than Shelby, he’d only heated one other woman’s backside and she’d definitely deserved it. As had Valentine just now. In truth, he was worried about what happened next. Would she call the police on him? Would she tell his sister? Maybe he should apologize, pack his bags, and give some kind of lame excuse to Shelby and then go back to the ranch.
    In response to her question, he helped her stand. Her hands flew around to rub at the sting on her bottom. And her gaze landed on his no-possible-way-he-could-hide-it aroused cock. He sat silently and waited for her to say something. What she said surprised the hell out of him.
    “At least both of us are suffering.” She glanced across the small living room at the wall clock. “We’ve only got an hour to get to Lahaina. You made us late by…” She couldn’t seem to finish the sentence.
    “By spanking you,” he helped her out.
    She gave a tiny nod and looked way. “Yes.”
    Relief swept through him. Oddly enough she appeared to accept what he’d done and try to get beyond it. A curious reaction, but one he definitely liked. “Guess we’d better go.”
    She went to the breakfast bar and grabbed a small purse and her key. “What happened… It’s just between us, right?” she asked, leading the way to the door and
