Chapter 18

"You left me stranded in the middle of the road." Lev had to pause his complaining to sneeze. "In the pouring rain!"

Lev was quick to haul me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and took me to his place a little way from Nikolai's, after he recollected himself. So, we've been at his home (or was it technically ours now?) for a while now.

Suppressing my nervous chuckle, I awkwardly patted his shoulders a little before forcing him to lie down on his couch. "Now, now." Giving him a half-apologetic grin, I bundled his shivering body up tightly with the blanket. "I didn't leave you stranded… I left the bike for you," I retorted, letting my nervousness slip past my awkward lips with a curt chuckle.

Lev's body rumbled with his growl, and his beady blue eyes narrowed sharply at me. "It was locked for half an hour!" he half shouted before letting out another sneeze, followed by an annoyed grumble. "I swear, the moment I get better—"

I didn't give him a chance to finish his little threat. My index finger found the loop to his collar effortlessly under his turtleneck, curling around it and jerking his face to me as I leaned down close. "Now, now, I might give you some slack while you are sick— "

"Because of you!" Lev's voice cut out with a violent jerk of the collar.

Taking in a deep breath, I kept a rather sweet smile on my face as I kept talking, "As I was saying, I might give you some slack given your state, but that doesn't mean you can start mouthing off to me, got that?" My sweetened voice dipped lowly with danger toward the end as my face grew closer to his until there was only a mere inch between us. "Or you can continue to be a mouthy lil' shit and get punished for it later."

Out of the corner of my eyes, I caught the slightest glimpse of his neck muscles tightening. As his jaw clenched harder and harder, his eyes stormed over with conflict as he glared back at me. "You wouldn't. You're just an uppity little brat yourself who can talk a game, and that's it," he bit back with a challenging shine to his eyes.

Now, I expected to feel a little peeved at his doubtful backtalk, but I found myself laughing instead. I actually debated my sanity for a second there, not gonna lie. Getting a grip on myself, I let my laughter die out into an unpredictable grin that had Lev leaning back a little.

All bark and no bite, huh? We'll see about that.

Slipping more of my fingers under his collar, I hooked them around the thick leather and pulled him off the couch to the ground. "On your hands and knees," I commanded with an unhinged smirk to match my slightly crazed eyes.

When Lev showed no sign of following my order, probably because he was too busy ogling me with his wide eyes and gaped mouth, I gave his collar a firm tug. "Hands and knees, little lion. Don't make me repeat myself." To show him I meant business, I tightened my hold around the collar, making the leather creek under my grip.

His throat bobbed with a gulp before his eyes slowly looked away from me. "Y-yes, empress." His body shivered along with his words, and I couldn't help but smile from the surge of adrenaline bursting in my body.

Power burned proudly through my veins as I watched Lev shift around on the floor to his hands and knees. "Good boy." I barely recognized my own voice from how elated I sounded. "Now crawl." To encourage him, I lightly pulled him behind me down the hallway to his room.

Thankfully, Lev didn't fight me on that part. I wouldn't have been able to drag his heavy ass down the hallway if he decided to drop his weight. "Kneel and stay," I told him without a glance in his direction, leaving him at the door to go dig around in his drawers.

Of course, to no surprise, Lev had all I needed. It only took me a few seconds to pull out the rope, cuffs, and leather paddle. Tossing the items onto the bed, I took my sweet time strutting around the bed, slowly stripping to tease him as I stood at the foot of the bed. Casually, I finally turned my attention to Lev, who remained how I commanded.

Taking a moment, I drank in the image before me with a satisfied smile. Seeing Lev kneeling and watching me with such awe and desire in his eyes was so exhilarating. What made me puff my chest out with pride was seeing how Lev restrained himself to obey me. His hands remained on his thighs, but they constantly clenched and unclenched while his jaw ticked with every heavy rise and fall of his broad chest. The cherry on top of it all was the straining bulge in his sweatpants.

As much as I wanted to continue the fun, I could see the slight pallor on his tired complexion. "If you're too sick and tired, then we—"

Lev instantly shook his head in protest. "No, I'm fine to keep going, empress." The trust and happiness in his smile made it impossible to resist him.

"Safe-word?" I asked while picking up the leather handcuffs.

Sucking in a deep breath, his eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of the cuffs in my hands. "Bomb," he replied confidently with a widening smile.

"I won't cover your mouth or anything, but if you can't talk for some reason and need me to stop, then tap my shoulder three times, alright?" My wary eyes carefully studied his face and body for any signs of hesitation or reluctance.

Much to my relief, Lev displayed none of it. "Understood, empress." The way his shoulders fully relaxed melted my heart to lovey-dovey mush.

Cracking a proud and happy smile, I curled a finger at him to come hither. "Crawl to me, little lion," I commanded in a sweet and sultry voice. "But strip before you do." I wanted to see his body bend to my will; to watch every twitch of his muscles as he would move according to my commands.

Fuck, it was hard not to drool at the sight of his strong body becoming exposed to me. Every inch of this godly hunk belonged to me! Mine! He was all mine. All mine to touch, kiss, mark, and love. God, I wanted to jump him the moment he got on his hands and started crawling to me!

I've never felt such a rush like this, and I was sure that this would become a new addiction. Seriously, I was sure that I could possibly orgasm from ordering Lev around and watching him obey. Looking on in awe, I slipped my tongue out and licked my smiling lips. "That's it, that's my good boy, come to your empress," I praised him with a chest full of pride.

Letting out a content hum, I looked down at Lev as he stopped at my feet. "Look up at my cunt." The raw and lustful dominance in my voice took me back a little. "Look at how wet I am." I couldn't help but shiver with Lev when his eyes met my sex. "That's all you. You did that to me. Seeing you be such a good boy for me really gets me going." Reaching down, I gripped the back of his hair to force his gaze up at my thrilled face. "You like it when your empress gets wet for you for being good?"

My grip on his hair unintentionally tightened at the sight of his swollen cock twitching at my words, and another wave of heat consumed my body when I saw his thick tip weep with precum when he answered my question with a faint, "Yes, empress."

Releasing his hair, I apologetically stroked his head. "Here's what's gonna happen." Tracing his jaw, I gently cupped his face, smiling warmly when he leaned into my palm. "I'm going to put the cuffs on your wrists. Then, you are going to stand up and bend over the bed for a spanking." Lev's body tensed up with a sharp inhale before fully submitting to me again. "After that, you're going to get on the bed, and I'm going to cuff your wrists to the headboard before fucking you."

Lev's eyes darkened over with a deep want as his body subtly shivered under my touch. "Will you let me come in you?" His eyes softened pleadingly as he looked up at me with such hope.

Unfortunately for him, I was on too much of a trip to give it to him easily. My soft smile sharpened with an edge to it as my fingers gripped his chin. "Maybe, if you beg enough." Slowly, I ran my thumb teasingly across his bottom lip. "Ask me nicely and beg me."

Letting out a shaky breath, Lev leaned in close, caressing my thighs gingerly while peppering kisses to the inside of my thighs. "Please, can I come in you later when you fuck me? Please, will you let me fill your precious pussy with my cum? I need you to be full of me, please." His hot breath washed over my inner thighs and the edges of my aching sex, making me involuntarily shiver from the arousal that tightened my nipples into hard buds and caused my cunt to clench needily around nothing. "Please, empress, I need you to fuck me until I can't fill you no more until your womb is full of my seed."

Giggling, I leaned down and kissed his forehead. "You can breed me some other time when you are in tip-top shape, little lion." Tilting his face up, I take his shaky breath in a heavy kiss, groaning softly when I feel his tongue snake into my mouth.

Breaking the kiss with a satisfied sigh, I held Lev's face tenderly. "We also need to have that talk first before I let you fuck me, fill me, and knock me up," I remarked with a breathy chuckle. "For now, there are other—" To distract him, I pressed and rubbed the top of my foot against the underside of his pierced cock, making him gasp and grunt softly. "Matters for you to focus on."

Straightening myself, I dangled the cuffs in front of him. "Wrists," I demanded in a firm voice.

With an ounce of hesitation, he held his hands up to me with an eager smile on his face. "How many spanks are you going to give me?" His smile wavered slightly with wary as his head tilted and his eyes furrowed together.

Being the little shithead I was, I dragged out the suspense with a hum while I placed the cuffs on him. Seeing the way his chest rose and fell slowly with his tense breath was a little too amusing to cut short. I still couldn't get over the effect I had on Lev, how every little action or word could make him so happy or wary of me.

"Fourteen. Seven each side," I answered him after a very prolonged silence full of suffocating tension. "You can take it. I know you can." Playing with the loop of his collar, I lightly tugged at it a few times before firmly tugging it in the direction of the bed .

"Bend over, ass up," I commanded with a cheeky snicker. "Can't wait to mark that sexy ass of yours up." Well, it wouldn't be too bad today. I wasn't about to go hard with our first time.

Lev quickly rose to his feet and bent over the end of the bed, laying his upper body flat against the top of the bed with his bound hands stretched above his head. Then, slowly, he shifted his legs, relaxing them into a more comfortable position while taking some deep breaths.

Positioning myself right behind him, I reached out and grabbed his firm ass with a satisfied grin. Taking a moment, I groped him until the muscles of his back relaxed with his paced breathing and soft groans. Then, I picked up the flexible paddle, running it against the palm of my hand to get a good feel of the leather material along with how much give it had. After I got a good idea of the equipment in my hand, I placed the flat side of it against the curve of Lev's ass, shushing him softly when his body flinched in response. "I'm not spanking you yet, just letting you get a good feel of it." I wasn't that cruel, at least, not yet.

Inch by inch, I licked every inch of his luscious ass from bottom to top with the paddle until I had him shuddering under me. "Have you ever been spanked before?" I had to know to gauge the force behind my blows.

Craning his head back, he looked at me with half-hooded eyes. "No, but give me what you think I can handle. I trust you." His voice's lack of reluctance and hesitation instantly warmed my smile.

Patting his ass cheek reassuringly, I took a small step back to give myself some room to work. This all felt so surreal. I mean, my boyfriend was about to get spanked by me! The Lev Volkov, the Savage of the Volkov Bratva, was about to be spanked by me . Grinning madly, I pulled my arm back, keeping my eyes locked on his perky ass. "Count."

Smack!

Lev's body instantly jerked from the impact. " Blyat'! " He gasped while writhing against the bed.

I gave him a second to process everything before my anticipation built up. When the seconds ticked by and nothing else came out of his mouth, I pulled my arm back and delivered another hit to the other side—this one a little harder. "I said count," I reminded him sternly before pulling back and spanking his other side again.

Shoving his face into the bed, he let out a muffled cry with the next impact before coming up for a breath and counting. "Fuck! One! Two! Shit!"

Now, I had to give him credit for keeping his body fairly still. Not gonna lie, if it was me being spanked, I'd be trying to squirm away. I always had to be tied down or held down well if I ever took a spanking. So, the fact that Lev's stayed in one spot impressed me, especially with how hard I spanked him.

Smack!

"Ten! Fuck!" His body trembled with his heavy breaths, his toes digging into the hardwood floor to where they blanched.

Stepping up to him, I place my hands against his burning red cheeks. A low groan rumbled out of Lev's body when I softly rubbed and groped his ass. "You are doing so good, little lion." Leaning up on the bed, I ran my tongue along his muscular back to his ear, nipping it playfully with a giggle. "I'm so proud of you for being such a good boy for me. You're taking these spankings so well, and we're almost done. Just four more. You can do it for me."

Fisting his hair, I pulled his head back a little to claim his lips in a frenzied kiss. "Finish strong, and I'll let you cum in me all you want tomorrow." With one final kiss of encouragement, I pulled away and stood up straight behind him again.

The part of me that wanted to drag out the last four lost to my need to have Lev inside of me. In quick succession, the last impacts decorated his reddened cheeks with new marks, filling the room with the sweet sound of leather biting flesh and Lev's groans.

I didn't bother trying to catch the paddle when it slipped from my loosened grip. I was too busy climbing onto the bed and pulling Lev along until we were at the headboard.

Grabbing his face, I pressed a deep kiss against his lips, wasting no time shoving my tongue into his eager mouth and claiming every inch of it. Biting his bottom lip, I groaned hungrily as I pulled away. Hovering my face over his, I kept his face in my hands to look at his awe-struck expression and swollen lip for a few seconds before telling him, "On your back, arms up."
