WHAT’S INSIDE

He seemed to be drawing things out to make her more nervous. One arm settled across her back in a firm weight that pinned her down. The other came to rest on the back of her panties, and she shivered. "I know what you're dealing with right now is hard, Katherine, but you're going to get through this. And someday, you're going to look back on this time and be glad you went through it, because it will make you stronger in the end," he said with a quiet assurance to his voice, like he knew with absolute certainty that he was right. She wishedshewas that sure, because, right now, things felt sort of hopeless. She'd had such a good time with him today, but once he'd left, she'd been reminded that this was only a temporary fix. In a week, she'd go home to her empty apartment and have to decide whether to quit her job so she wouldn't be forced to see her ex every day. She wanted to hope things would eventually make sense, but right now, she just couldn't. He didn't wait for her to reply and continued the lecture. "In the meantime, you need to take care of yourself. Youare capable of making the right choices without someone guiding you, if you would just believe it. But if you're going to do dangerous, childish stuff in front of me, like what I just saw outside, then I guess I'm going to have to help you," he said firmly. She still didn't reply, though the guilt welled up inside of her and she shifted across his lap, feeling miserable and embarrassed. "This is your last chance to change your mind, Katherine. I think we both agree you need this and deserve it, but you can still stop it. Once I begin, Iwillcarry it through until I decide you've had enough. Do you understand?" he asked "Y-yes, Jack," she whispered. The feeling of nervous dread in her stomach increased, and she stiffened in preparation for the punishment. She felt the oddest urge to thank him, though, for caring enough to punish her, but it seemed weird to thank someone who was about to blister your ass for doing something stupid—at least, in advance. Afterward, it felt like part of the ritual to thank them for the lesson and not strange at all. "And you're sure?" he pressed. His hand tightened across her rump, fingers pressing into her flesh. "Y-yeah, I deserve it and…just do it, please," she whispered in a choked, hoarse voice. Please don't drag it out any more, she added silently. He seemed to approve. "Good girl," he said as his hand swept up. There was the slightest warning of movement and then it cracked down hard across the center of her ass, causing her to buck in surprise. It was unexpectedly painful! Of course, spankings were supposed to hurt, but Christopher always started off light and easy. This was something else, entirely. Before she could even process the burning pain, his hand had slapped down again; the loud crack echoed through the room, and she made a small

sound of panic and clapped both hands over her mouth. The intention had always been to play during this trip, and the suite had been carefully chosen, since it shared only one common wall, and that was in the bathroom. So, hopefully, the noise wouldn't carry, but adding cries of pain to rhythmic slapping wasn't going to go over well if it did, so she kept her hands firmly over her mouth as he continued to spank.

With Gratitude

I've never written a dedication before, so I think it's probably time. There are a lot of people who keep me going, far more than I could name, and I ap preciate all of them. Novels don't happen without a lot of background support, and there are some amazing people who make the magic happen behind the scenes. For Kat, who has been my champion, friend, writing partner, and personal editor for so long I've lost track. She's been there through magazines, short stories, and now books, with hardly a complaint about the number of times she's had to fix the exact same error. Without her, I probably never would have dared to make the jump to novels a nd there's a good chance she had to proofread this dedication and fix at least one thin g in it. For Kiki, my navigator, who offered what I needed the most and helped me find the right path during a rough patch when I couldn't see my way through. Always ready with an encouraging word and positive reinforcement, she somehow quietly manages to out-stubborn me when I get stuck and provides a calm place for me to regroup. Also, she can fold origami dinosaurs, which makes her pretty much perfect. For Wenchy, my captain, who actually is helpful despite signs indicating otherwise. Ruthless when it comes to ripping open plot holes, she's also the one who sits down to help plan out the needed fixes afterward. She would fearlessly steer us right into a hurricane just for the sheer adventure of it, laughing at the danger while Kiki plotted our course to safety. They balance each other perfectly, and there is no other ship I'd rather crew. And above all, for my husband, Shaughn, who fell in love with me the first time we met and for some reason has never changed his mind since. He drags me off the computer and makes me interact with the world way more often than I'd lik e, constantly pushes me to try new things, and is always my inspiration to create because there's a little bit of him in almost every character I write.

CHAPTER 1

K around the smoothly polished wood as she swayed to the gentle rhythm of the moving atherine stood at the rail, staring out across the water. Her hands were clenched ship. She hadn't quite gotten her sea legs yet and still found the rolling a little dizzying, but that wasn't the reason for her tight grip. That would be the happy people walking the decks behind her, chatting and laughing while they enjoyed their vacation. Envy clawed at her as she tried to ignore them. She wanted to be one of those happy people; she'd had every expectation of enjoying this trip and had looked forward to it for months. Who wouldn't enjoy a week sailing the Caribbean? No thing but sun, too much food and not a worry in the world other than avoiding getting too badly burned. At least, that had been the plan, but all of her expectations had been toppled a week ago. For the trip…and for her whole life. Tears sprang to her eyes and her fingers tightened to the point of hurting. It took her a second to realize that the physical pain was coming from the head of a screw that jutted out of the underside of the rail, digging into her hand. The emotional agony that was clouding her mind had blocked it out at first, and she let go of the beam with a hiss and s hook out her hand. Peering intently at the red indentation that had come close to ripping her skin, she frowned. "Damn it," she muttered, but she wasn't really upset. The pain had shaken her out of the mood drop that had started. She had to watch herself every minute these days, if she didn't want to end up a sobbing mess in public. Everywhere she looked, she was reminded of Christopher and their plans. Maybe coming on the cruise alone had been a bad idea; she just hadn't known what else to do with herself. She already had the time off work. Of cour se, she did, because he'd arranged it, and everything was paid for, so she'd come—alone. But now that she was here, all she could think abou t were the things they'd talked about doing on the trip, the adventures they were going to have while they sailed through a series of island ports. She'd never been on a cruise before, but he had, several times. He'd laughed and called her a virgin and she'd blushed, because it was yet another thing that he'd promised to show her. His world was so vast, and hers had always been so small. She wasn't sure when it had happened, when he'd become such a focus in her life. It hadn't been that way in the beginning. She'd been shy and uncertain, dragging her heels at every step, while he tugged her along impatiently. She'd given over the reins of her life inch by painful inch until, finally, he'd taken over everything. She'd let him do it bec ause submission had always been her biggest fantasy—a deep dark secret that she'd never shared with anyone, though he'd once told her it had been obvious to anyone with eyes. She supposed he was right about that, though it galled her to know how blatantly it must show. She'd always been the one to back down in any argument. She avoided confrontation, and people with strong personalities rolled right over her like an iron, flattening her until she stopped fighting and let them have what they wanted. Shedida strong independent streak, though, and an i ntrovert's have
