“By by no means having what he desires?”

I had no reply to that. I knew Ray and I might all the time disagree on this.

“So that you’re not offended at him?”

“No, I’m not. What do you assume I used to be anticipating?”

I couldn’t cover my shock at his phrases. “You thought we’d get collectively?”

“Nicely, no, not fairly. However I do know what you’re into, and I do know what he’s into, and even when each of you’re too cussed to confess it, it’s solely pure that you just’d be drawn to one another.”

Pure – how may Ray assume any of this was pure?

“Perhaps, subsequent time he comes, I’ll need to allow you to each get even higher acquainted.” I didn’t understand how he had the nerve to be suggestive after every little thing that had occurred that evening. I shook my head fervently.

“Even when I did like him then, I don’t really feel that means now.”

“Why not?”

I gave him an incredulous look.

“As a result of he watched when you held me down and caned me till I bled, and he did nothing,”I hissed furiously. Then I realised my mistake.

Ray’s expression was not light-hearted. “Till you bled?”

“I simply meant—”

“You instructed me the pores and skin didn’t get damaged.” His voice was quiet, however his face was stormy, and I knew this admission was going to anger him excess of something I may have stated about Mark.

“It didn’t… It was only one, on my leg… It was the tiniest bit, and I took care of it—”

“You lied to me.”

“What are you going to do? Punish me for it?” I spat. I couldn’t consider he was offended with me once more already. Besides that I ought to have believed it. I’d recognized it was solely a matter of time; I simply hadn’t anticipated that it’d be fairly this quickly.

“I’ve half a thoughts to,” he growled in response, however he didn’t make any transfer in direction of me. “What if it had received contaminated?”

“It didn’t. I instructed you – I took care of it.”

“It is best to let me—”

“No!” I believe we have been each barely bowled over by the ferocity in my voice. I may need been prepared to be extra civil with him, however I used to be additionally ready to combat tooth and nail to maintain him from seeing my marks. There was no means I used to be going to let him gloat over what he’d carried out to me.

“It’s not about… It’s not as a result of I’m going to love what I see.”

“Proper, since you hate marking my physique,” I stated sarcastically. “It’s not like that’s what you’ve been threatening to do ever since I received right here.”

“I’m not happy with these ones, Callie. If I may take them again, I might.”

“Nicely, perhaps should you’re fortunate, considered one of them will scar and then you definately received’t need to do my large punishment.”

Ray’s mouth opened and closed, however he appeared uncertain of what to say. My anger was changed immediately with worry and disbelief.

“You continue to need to give me that punishment, don’t you?”

“I all the time stated I might. This hasn’t modified something.”

“Haven’t you harm me sufficient?” I whispered brokenly. “In the event you truly really feel sorry for what you probably did, you wouldn’t dream of doing that to me once more.”
