Without warning, I reached down and gave her ass a hard smack.
"That's for spray painting my car," I said.
Her breath hitched, and she bit her lip, trying to suppress a smile. "You're such a caveman."
"Caveman? How about this?" I said, smacking her...

Caleb's POV
As I pulled Esmeralda out of the alley, the pulsating beats of the party throbbed in my ears, mixing with the adrenaline still coursing through my veins. The moment we stepped back into the crowded room, I could see the way people moved aside for us, sensing the electric tension in the air. I held her close, my arm wrapped possessively around her waist, feeling the heat radiating off her body.
"Where do you think you're going?" I asked, my voice low as I leaned down to whisper in her ear, making sure she felt my presence, my claim over her.
"I was just getting a drink," she replied, a teasing lilt in her voice as she looked up at me with those big, mischievous eyes. "Don't you want to join me?"
"Not a chance," I growled, my grip tightening around her waist as I dragged her through the throng of bodies. "You're coming with me."
I led her deeper into the party, away from the prying eyes, searching for a spot where we could be alone. The chaos of the party was loud, but all I could focus on was the way her body pressed against mine, how every brush of her skin sent waves of desire crashing through me.
When I finally found a more secluded corner near the back, I pushed her up against the wall, trapping her between me and the cool surface. "This is where we're going to continue our little game," I said, my breath hot against her neck.
"What game?" she asked, her voice low, but the excitement in her eyes betrayed her.
"The one where you get punished for your little antics," I replied, pulling back just enough to look into her eyes. "You think you can show up to a party like this, wearing that outfit, and not face any consequences?"
Her lips parted, a challenge sparkling in her gaze. "I think I look damn good, and you can't deny that."
I chuckled darkly, leaning in closer. "Oh, I can't deny that at all. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you off easy."
Before she could respond, I crashed my lips against hers, hard and demanding. Her body melted into mine, and I could feel her responding, her hands gripping my shoulders as she kissed me back with equal fervor.
I pulled away, my forehead resting against hers, both of us panting heavily. "You've made this very personal," I murmured. "You sprayed my car, interrupted my meeting, and now you're going to pay for it."
I slid my hands down her waist, my fingers curling around the hem of her top. "For wearing this little outfit, you're going to be reminded just how much trouble you've caused."
With a swift motion, I lifted her top slightly, exposing the soft skin of her midriff. I leaned down, pressing my lips against her stomach, kissing a trail up to the lace of her bra. She shivered, her breath hitching as I paused, looking up at her.
"Do you like that?" I asked, my voice low and rough.
"Yes," she breathed, her cheeks flushing.
"Good," I said, and then I pulled back abruptly. "But that's not all you're getting for being such a little tease."
I reached down, gripping her thigh again, my fingers digging into her flesh as I lifted her leg, wrapping it around my waist. The moment I felt the heat of her against me, my blood surged, and I pressed myself closer.
"Now, let's revisit that little stunt you pulled during my gang meeting," I said, leaning in until my lips were a hair's breadth from hers. "You think you can just stroll in there and interrupt? I should've thrown you out, but instead..."
I pressed my hips against her, letting her feel exactly how worked up she'd made me. "I think you need to understand exactly what kind of trouble you're in."
With that, I thrust against her, the friction sending both of us spiraling into a haze of desire. She gasped, her eyes widening as I continued to grind against her, building the tension higher and higher.
"You're going to pay for that, Esmeralda," I said, my voice thick with lust. "But first, I want you to admit it. Tell me how much you want this."
"I want it," she breathed, her gaze locked onto mine, her defiance melting away. "I want you, Caleb."
"Good girl," I growled, the praise pushing her further into the depths of desire. "Now, let's not forget about that little spray painting incident."
I shifted my grip, pulling her closer as I nipped at her neck, letting my teeth graze her skin. She whimpered, the sound driving me wild, and I felt the rush of power surging through me.
"Just know this, every time you push me, every little tease, you'll face the consequences," I murmured against her skin, feeling her shiver at my words.
"Just how many consequences do I have to face?" she challenged, a playful glint in her eye.
I chuckled darkly, pulling back to look at her, a wicked smile on my face. "Let's just say, we have all night to find out. And trust me, you're going to remember every single second."
With that, I captured her lips again, the kiss hot and hungry, both of us lost in the chaotic dance of lust and desire, ready to explore just how far this wild game would take us.
The heat between us was palpable, but the crowded party wasn't the place for the kind of punishment I had in mind. I needed more privacy, a space where I could truly unleash the storm brewing inside me. Grabbing her by the hand, I led Esmeralda out of the back of the house and toward my car parked on the edge of the street.
The night air hit us, cool and sharp, a stark contrast to the heat radiating from our bodies. I could see the thrill in her eyes as we approached my sleek, black sports car, the one she'd defaced just hours ago. My blood boiled at the thought of her spray painting it, but that rage only fueled my desire to make her feel every consequence of her actions.
"Get in," I ordered, my voice low and commanding.
She hesitated for a moment, a smirk playing on her lips. "What if I don't want to?"
I stepped closer, invading her personal space, my gaze fierce. "You don't have a choice. Not tonight."
With that, I opened the passenger door, pushing her inside and following her in without hesitation. The moment I slammed the door shut, the outside world faded away, leaving just the two of us enveloped in darkness.
I wasted no time, capturing her face in my hands and crashing my lips against hers. This kiss was hungry, filled with the desperation of what we were both feeling, an explosion of pent-up energy that had been building since the moment I first laid eyes on her at the party.
"Do you know how much trouble you're in?" I breathed against her lips, my hands roaming down her body, finding the hem of her top again. "You have no idea what happens when you push me."
