The Alpha's Thirst (temporarily on hold)

Chapter 17 - Dinner Date

ELLA'S POV

We were both sort of quiet once we got home. I changed into a tank top and joggers instead of my dirt-coated pajama sweats.

I'd do it all again though. I felt so accomplished and so proud of myself, and I got my fierceness back when I shot and it went right between his eyes.

I was a badass! I felt sexy again, and everything Nick was doing was turning me on, even just involuntarily flexing his arms.

I had forgotten what it was like. I could really move on now. For good.

I could give Nick my attention and trust and let our relationship develop into something bigger.

I could give into my urges, because I was getting used to someone's touch, and I wasn't afraid anymore because I knew it was my mate.

"Come here." Nick growled suddenly, sitting on the sofa.

His tone was very serious, and I couldn't help but obey him and make my way over to him.

He grabbed my hand softly and then suddenly pulled me down and positioned me over his knees with my ass up.

I squirmed when I realized he was holding me down, and it was no use fighting him.

"I need to punish you now." He whispered down to me, and I stopped moving.

"What do you mean?" I shouted.

"I can't have you running away again. So clearly I have to teach you a lesson about what happens when you disobey me."

"Technically, I didn't disobey you, because I didn't ask you before I did it. Ask forgiveness not permission," I stated, squirming beneath him.

"Do you think this is funny?" he growled, suddenly sending waves of panic down my body. His tone was dangerous and I felt so threatened at this beast's mercy.

"You stole a weapon from my military and threatened our mission by interfering." he explained, yanking at the waist band of my joggers.

Suddenly he had pulled them down to reveal my white lacy thong, and I thanked god that I chose something sexier to change into.

He growled in approval and I felt his gaze on my body. He tugged the thong down as well and I flinched, my entire area exposed.

My heart was beating so fast, but it felt so good.

Suddenly I felt a piercing sting on my ass, and I yelped a bit at the surprise.

God, why was it liberating?

I felt his member grow harder and harder up against my stomach, and I was still so impressed by the size.

"Are you ever going to leave without telling me again?" he asked sternly.

"What if I want to go shopping and you're in the shower—"

SLAP!

Another hard hit to my bum, and my whimpers seemed to be getting him more and more aroused.
