chapter90 Ingratiate

Scarlett lay face down on the light blue sheets, stark naked. Thankfully, she had told her family she would return home in the afternoon; she expected this to take some time. Burying her face in the pillow, she felt a mix of fear and faint anticipation. Asher sat beside her, casting a cool glance her way. His long tail extended out from the bed, flicking in the air before harshly striking Scarlett's buttocks with a sound that echoed in the room.

With a muffled cry, Scarlett's body arched, and she screamed, "Ah!" The pain on her buttocks felt like a fiery whip lashing her skin. Reflexively, she reached to cover her buttocks with her hands.

Before she could shield herself, Asher's snake-like tail had already restrained her, binding her tightly to the bed. His voice came from above, cold and indifferent, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts... so much," Scarlett almost cried out, realizing that Asher had struck her with his tail.
