My Sweet Punishment by Amelia Brooks (best book club books of all time .TXT) 📕

Henry

        I came home a long time ago, but I couldn’t work anyway. I even turned off the phone so that not to get annoying calls. I’ve been sitting in my home office for half an hour, staring at the glass of elite whiskey that doesn’t help me get this strange girl out of my head.

      Witch… How else can I explain my overwhelming desire to possess her? I’ve had a lot of women, models, socialites, and other beauties, but with them, I didn’t even feel half the way I did with her. Only sexual satisfaction on the physical level, which immediately passed. And now…

       And how gorgeous she looked this evening. You have to pay tribute to the girl. With a special desire, she can outshine even Miss Universe. So cute and terribly sexy in one moment.

       But this is her defiant behavior during dinner… I just wanted to tell everything to go to hell, including my business partners, bend this wicked woman over my knee, and spank right on the spot, in full view of the entire restaurant and whatever.

       She was deliberately provoking me. I could see her eyes sparkling with mischief. Did a girl want to play with me?! Oh well. And I accepted her game.

       The girl’s reaction to my touch alone was worth it. How she was trembling. How her regular breathing had faltered. She tried so hard not to show it. My eyes unconsciously fell on her rapidly rising chest and…

       Damn! She was without underwear, as evidenced by her prominent nipples! I was certainly pleased that my actions turned her on, but now… it seemed that it was not only me who was pleased with the view. I saw this guy Steven shamelessly staring at my assistant. And why the hell did she pull her hair up into a high bun, showing her naked back?! One more second, and if I hadn’t punched this freak... I would definitely have taken off my jacket and forced the girl to put it on. No matter how strange it might look from the outside. My peace of mind is more precious.

       Mia certainly deserves to be courted. She is not sold on my money and position. She doesn’t really care who I am. Not flattering or fawning. She always says what she thinks. I admit that I am wildly excited by our bickering. Sometimes I even have a strong desire to close the office with a key and plug the girl’s obnoxious mouth with my kiss, burying the hand in her thick hair. God, just imagining, it makes my head start to melt, and my body aches with anticipation.

        I wasn’t going to throw her any more dirty hints or hurt her feelings. I really thought about asking her out, getting to know her better. I even finished this dinner with business partners earlier, otherwise, I would have broken Steven’s nose ‘cause he had started asking for her phone number after Mia suddenly left… The guy seemed to be really stupid if he doesn’t see how I feel about her.

      But the plans did not come true. I was about to wait for Mia at the exit of the restaurant when I came across an interesting picture. The girl was standing in the company of some guy who was holding her hand, and they were heading towards the closed rooms, clearly not just to talk. What the...?! I snapped and completely forgot about everything I wanted to offer her. Didn’t she tell me then that she had no guy?! I’m such an idiot.

      I remembered what that guy looked like. A young brat, but obviously with money, judging by an expensive suit and the restaurant he went to. And I think that was enough for her.

     There was no desire to talk to her in the car. Otherwise, I’ll get furious. How could I fall for her “innocence”? Maybe I didn’t have the right to be mad at her, but tell that to my mind, which already considered her be mine, considered her different…

        But the problem is, even after this unpleasant situation, I still wanted her. So I decided. I decided to offer her a million dollars for the night. I don’t know if the girl is worth it, but it’s better to fuck her and forget. If she agrees now, and then after takes the money, I will make her disappear from my life and my head the next morning.

        But to my surprise, Mia easily declined the offer and even angered, although she tried to keep calm. I didn’t know whether to be happy about it or not. I looked at the empty whiskey bottle and grinned. I’m about to get drunk over this girl. I got up from the table and threw the empty bottle away, heading for the bedroom.

Mia

      The week was surprisingly quiet. The man seemed to have forgotten about me at all. Maybe he was ashamed of the offer he made me yesterday? Although shame and Collins are completely incompatible, I grinned.

        He left for the meeting today with Amanda, even though it’s my duty as an assistant to accompany him everywhere. He made me take her place again. This bitch will be happy, for sure.

       Infuriating! Am I nothing to him?! Although I should be happy with it. My working day will pass quietly, I even will not notice it. It’s strange to admit, but I’m used to our bickering. And I even missed it… I sighed sadly, turning the pencil over in my hand. I’m probably insane if I think about this.

       I haven’t been able to talk to Olivia this week either. She suddenly went with her, as she put it, good “friend” to rest on the Islands. We know what kind of friend is there. Although maybe she did meet the special one. She even stopped talking about Collins’ perfection for a few days.
