Fierce Queen (L.A. Ruthless Series Book 2)
Fierce Queen: Chapter 7

I woke in the night to Alejandro softly kissing my neck and his warm hand sliding between my legs.

‘Alex,’ I groaned in pleasure as the tingling in my thighs started already.

‘Hey, princess,’ he growled.

‘Hey,’ I pushed back, pressing my ass against him and feeling his cock, which was rock-hard and ready to go, as usual. ‘What’s up?’ I giggled. ‘Apart from you, that is?’

‘I couldn’t sleep.’

’Is everything okay?’

He stopped kissing my neck and pulled his hand from between my legs, resting it on my hip before he sighed deeply. ‘It’s just work stuff. Nothing you need to worry about.’

‘You can talk to me though, you know that? Anything that concerns you is important to me too. If you’re worried about something …’

‘I told you it’s nothing for you to be concerned about, princess,’ he interrupted me.

‘But-’ I started to say.

‘It’s my job to protect you, Alana, not the other way around,’ he snapped and suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed.

I swallowed. ‘Just a few hours ago, you said that you trusted me enough to share all of your secrets with me.’

He sighed deeply, his breath warm against my neck. ‘This isn’t about me not trusting you, princess. But, I don’t want you in that part of my world. It’s dark and dangerous and … everything you’re not.’

‘I’m not sure the world works like that, Alex. If it’s a part of your life, then it’s mine too, whether you like it or not. Sooner or later, you’re going to have to trust that I can handle it.’

‘I know you can handle it, princess. But I’d prefer that you don’t have to.’

I opened my mouth to reply as his hand squeezed my hip and he pressed his body closer to mine. I sensed that was the end of our conversation and if I kept pressing him, we’d only end up in the midst of another argument. I wished that he would open up to me more about his work. I didn’t need, or want, the details of what he did, but I felt so helpless when he was so obviously distracted and worried by something that I couldn’t help him with.

‘I just remembered that I still haven’t given you your spanking from the other night,’ he said softly against my ear.

I pushed back against him and he groaned, his breath warming the skin of my neck. This was the way I helped him deal with whatever was going on in his life, wasn’t it? It wasn’t perfect, but it was what we had for now. I shivered in anticipation at his words. ‘You want to do that right now?’

‘Yes,’ he nipped at my earlobe.

‘When I’m all warm and snuggly and you could just slide your cock in me and fuck me back to sleep instead?’

His cock jerked against me as though it had a mind of its own and was signaling it preferred the latter option.

‘Yes,’ he hissed.

‘But I’ve been a good girl tonight. I’m not sure I deserve a spanking,’ I purred. ‘You were the naughty one who threatened to break someone’s arm.’

‘Hmm. Well, you know I’m an only child. I don’t play well with others. And I definitely do not share my favorite toys.’

I groaned as his fingers slid through my folds, nudging at my opening. ‘So, I’m just a toy, am I?’

‘Hmm,’ he mumbled against my neck and the vibration sent shivers down my spine. ‘But not just any toy. My favorite one,’ he teased me as he started to slide a finger inside me.

‘You’re a very bad man,’ I purred.

‘Yes, we both know that, princess,’ he said as he pulled his hand from between my thighs and sat up, swinging his legs off the end of the bed. ‘So, get your ass over here. Now.’

I groaned loudly, feigning a protest as I shuffled over him, until I was laying across him with my bare ass over his lap. The nervous energy thrummed around my entire body. I lived for his spankings. He slid his warm hands over my ass cheeks and chuckled softly. ‘This ass is fucking incredible, princess. I’m going to turn it a beautiful shade of pink and then I’m going to fuck it.’

I clenched my thighs together at the thought. This man was a devil, and I loved him so much, sometimes I felt like I could hardly breathe from the intensity of the feelings he stirred in me. As if reading my mind, he cupped my chin with his hand and turned my head, bending his head low before kissing me softly.

‘Te quiero, princess.’

‘I love you too, Alex.’

A few seconds later, his hand landed sharply on the fleshy part of my ass cheek, sending a jolt of heat and pleasure shooting through me. Alejandro gave two types of spankings – one for punishment, and one for pleasure. Both of them made him hard, and me hot, wet and needy. But, this was most definitely the latter. He landed three more strokes before he slid two of his thick fingers inside me and the sound of my arousal filled the room as he pumped them in and out. A few moments later, he pulled his hand back and I heard him sucking his fingers clean.

‘You’re cream tastes so much sweeter after a spanking, princess,’ he growled before he slapped my ass again, making me groan out loud. ‘I think I should put you over my knee every single day. What do you think?’

‘Yes,’ I panted out loud and he chuckled softly.

‘Good girl.’
