Chapter 39

“I’m going to beat you,” Eli said calmly. “Five strikes for everything you did that angered me. You won’t move or cry out. You won’t speak unless I tell you to—the only exception is to use a safeword. You’ll get hard, I know you, but you will not try to rub yourself on anything and you won’t come. When the beating is over, I’ll make you come, and on my terms. Understood?”

Rob blinked; water cascaded over his eyelashes. “What will you use?”

“For the ties or the beating?”

“The beating.”

“Whatever I like,” Eli said coldly.

Rob’s jaw clenched again.

“You’ve got an objection?”

“I—yes.”

“Tough,” Eli snapped. “If you hadn’t have stepped out of line, I wouldn’t be doing this at all.”

Rob’s lip tightened, and he shook his head. “If you use the cord, I’ll safeword.”
