She put the ferule back in the drawer, and then, without saying a word, reached down to unbuckle his belt.


    Nathan immediately turned vignt.


    He grabbed her wandering hands and demanded, “What are you doing?”


    “You said it yourself, I feel sorry when you’re hurt.


    Let me check your butt and see if you are injured in any way.

    Although her tone was serious, her words were so tantly absurd.


    Nathan was miffed.


    She had just spanked him! Why in the world would she want to inspect his ass right after?


    He refused to let it happen.


    He was a grown man, for goodness’ sake!


    Not a child she could scold and coddle as she wished.


    “Stop it, that’s not necessary! I am not hurt.


    Let’s just go downstairs and watch some TV.


    I’ll even peel your tangerines for you.


    ”


    It was a feeble attempt, but Nathan was desperate to distract her.


    Unfortunately for him, Lucinda was working with a one-tracked mind at the moment.


    She snickered and wagged her eyebrows at him.


    “I’ll give you another reward if you let me check.


    But try to reject me again, and you’ll get what’sing for you!”


    Thatst bit was a real threat, and they both knew it.


    Nathan froze.

    This wasn’t fair!


    The vixen really knew the worst ways to torture him!


    But at least, he would get a reward.


    Nathan had to admit that it was tempting.


    Making up his mind, he loosened his grip on her hands and sprawled on his back.


    Lucky for him, the reward far outweighed the brief mortification that he had suffered.


    By the time they were done, it was Nathan who was deeply satisfied.


    He helped Lucinda dry her hair, and then carried her downstairs, deposited her on the couch, and fetched those damn tangerines she craved so much.


    The wedding was just a week away, and Lucinda found herself immersed in a whirlwind of preparations.


    Along with taking over the Simmons Group, there were numerous projects she needed to familiarize herself with.


    Thankfully, Nathan’s support made the workload more manageable.


    As they sat together in her office, Nathan worked on a project for the Payne Group while assisting Lucinda with her own tasks.
