Strictly Taboo(216)

Penny didn’t even have time to process, she just reacted. Kissing him back, she surprised herself when she wrapped her arms around his neck. She got lost with the way he felt against her, the way his lips pressed and moved against hers, and his tongue teased between her teeth, darting back and forth, touching hers in an intimate way that had her shocked at the way it felt.

When he finally let her go and stepped back he raised a brow. “I don’t regret at all that you’re not the type to say please.”

With that, he left the room and let her stand there and stew about the stolen kiss. Although if she was honest with herself, it really wasn’t stolen and more like she had dared him to do it by refusing to say a simple word. She had no one to blame but herself for that kiss he’d given her. He’d warned her he would and she practically threw herself at him by refusing to say please.

Sighing, she wondered for the first time in her life, if Flynn was the one man she wouldn’t be able to manipulate, and how she felt about that. Tired, she went to sleep, deciding not to think about it tonight. She needed rest. When she woke up, she’d face it tomorrow.





Chapter 3

Penny got up the next morning, and had breakfast with her dad. Flynn was not there, and she almost felt disappointed. Her father asked her how her meeting with him went. Shrugging, she didn’t really give him a real answer.

Waiting for a while for Flynn, and him not showing up she finally gave up. Wandering around the house she started exploring and getting into every nook and cranny of the house. If she was destined to stay here, she supposed she might as well figure out where she was living, and what was in the house.

She found the main master bedroom and was shocked to see he had it plumbed for both electricity and plumbing. She didn’t know it was possible. She sat in the alcove next to the tub and was playing with the faucets. She ran her hand through the running water in awe and just stared at it.

“Want to take a bath?” A voice behind her asked her, making her jump. She turned around and stared at Flynn whose arms were crossed and he stood there leaning against the door jam.

“Maybe,” she said, quirking a brow upwards, staring at Flynn. The way he was looking at her, like she was good enough to eat had her taking a step back and her heart fluttering in her chest.

Flynn shut the door and walked in, he walked over to the bathtub, and turned the water on until he got it hot and steamy, while the tub filled slowly, he smiled at her and before she knew what he was doing, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

“I wanted to show you the grounds, but I suppose a bath and a kiss is worth it to change my plans.” Flynn murmured between kisses, his lips rubbing over hers. “But I won’t always be so easily appeased or distracted.”

“Who says I wanted to distract you?” She told him, whispering, her voice husky and her lids felt heavy. Her breathing was coming in short little pants as his hands ran up and down her back. Before she even knew what was going on, he’d managed to undo all the buttons on the back of her dress and started to peel it down over her shoulders.

“So you were just deliberately being obnoxious?” He asked her, raising his brows up, “because if that’s the case, you might just earn yourself a spanking.”

“You wouldn’t dare, I’m far too old for that nonsense.” She told him, laughing until she saw his face wasn’t joking. “You wouldn’t.”

“Try me, and find out what I would, or wouldn’t do. I’m not your father, if I spank you, it has nothing to do with being your parent Penelope. I will strip you naked, bend you over my knee, and my hand will swat your bottom until you are squirming and begging me.” Flynn whispered in her ear, as he nibbled on her ear lobe, and worked his way down her neck. “If you want to play games, we can play games, but I promise you, I’m the one who will win.”

“You’re a cocky, arrogant bastard,” Penny told him and went to jerk away from him, tripping on the edge of her dress that was now over her feet, she landed in the tub with a splash and sprayed water all over him and the floor.

He laughed, and Penny fumed. She’d ruined her dress and was stuck in the tub.

“Stop laughing and help me out,” she told him, furiously.

“Say please,” he told her and wiped the water off his face with his sleeve. He shrugged out of his jacket he tossed it on a chair across the room and looked at her.

A knock on the door came, and Flynn answered, telling them to come in. Penny was outraged, it was bad enough he’d seen her fall into the tub in her clothes, but when her father walked in, she buried her hands in her face and slid further down in the tub, trying to pretend she wasn’t there.
