"A bold claim," Jinn murmured. "Or perhaps a challenge." Whichever the case, he gave her no opportunity to change her mind. With an arm around her waist to hold her up, he swatted her hip, just a couple of inches removed from the roses and spiderwebs curling down her leg. He pulled the stroke, wishing only to give Audrey a taste rather than the full force of what she was asking for.
Besides, the angle wasn't perfect. Jinn ran his hand over her now-heated skin, not quite soothing the hurt. "I would have you on your knees," he said and kissed the ink decorating her right shoulder. "And have you say no when you wish it. You understand me, little one?"
She wasn't so small, clearly a woman rather than a girl, but he was not a man and he was perfectly aware of his force. He palmed her breasts without gentleness, rolling the hardened nipples like pebbles beneath and between his fingers. He gave them a hard twist just to feel Audrey come up onto her toes, but then released her, tempering that sharp spike of pain with a hand between her shoulder blades, guiding her to the bed, to all fours. Into submission.
