By the time Kat and Reese left, Stephanie was congratulating
herself on how well the evening had gone. Not only were Declan
and his sister back on good terms, but so were the two men.
Everything had gone great!

But when she closed the door behind the other couple and turned
to face her boyfriend, it was to find him standing there with his
arms folded across his broad chest and a scowl on his handsome
face

Stephanie let out a sigh as she walked over to him. “I know what
you’re going to say,” she told him. “You’re going to say that I
shouldn’t have invited Kat and Reese over for dinner without
asking you first.”

Stop or I'll Spank
Declan inclined his head. “You’re right,” he agreed. “I completely understand why you did it,
but you shouldn’t have. You were being blatantly manipulative, and I’m going to make sure that
you understand the error of your ways so that you don’t try to pull a stunt like that again.”

Her brow furrowed at that. Declan had a stern look on his face, but he didn’t actually look
angry, so at first she thought he was kidding. But before she could ask what he meant, her
boyfriend took by the arm and was leading her over to the couch. Thinking that he meant to sit
her down and give her a stern lecture about going behind his back, she opened her mouth to
apologize, only to gasp in surprise when Declan took a seat on the couch and guided her over
his knee instead.

Off balance, Stephanie automatically placed her hands on the carpeted floor to steady herself.
She needn’t have worried though, because Declan’s strong hand on her back kept her from
going anywhere. “Declan, what are you doing?” she demanded, craning her neck to look over
her shoulder at him.

“That should be obvious. I’m teaching you a lesson, sweetheart,” he told her. “I think a good
spanking should have you thinking twice before you do something so scheming again.”

Stephanie’s dark eyes went wide. Declan had spanked her a few times before as foreplay, and
she had always liked it, but this was different. He had never given her a spanking for being bad,
and she wasn’t sure what she thought of that. But before she could protest however, her
boyfriend brought his hand down on her upturned bottom with a resounding smack!
