Nathan nodded, his expression contrite.


    “I shouldn’t have refused when you offered me a small reward in your office earlier.


    I deserve to be


    punished.

    Lucinda did her best to hold herughter in.


    She stepped forward until she was right in front of him.


    “Carrying two babies inside you is no easy task,” Nathan continued.


    “If beating me up would make you feel better, then I don’t mind at all.


    You can do whatever you want with me.

    “Then how many times should I hit you?” She took the ferule from him and held it firmly in her hands.


    Nathan lowered his head and lifted his hands toward her, palms up.

    Nathan was left speechless.


    He stared up at her in utter disbelief.


    “No! Never! You said you’d p me on my palms!”


    “Humph! Did you just raise your voice at me? Are you going to disobey me again?


    Lucinda shot him a haughty look and made no attempt to hide her real intentions.


    “I wanted to spank youst time, too, but I never got to do it.


    I’ve been disappointed all this time.


    I can’t let this chance go, or I might regret it for the rest of my life!”
