Pleasurable Punishment – #HistoricalRomance #Steamy #Vikings @KateHillRomance

Blurb

A bold warrior's desire for his king's daughter might end in destruction.

From the moment Erik Ice Tooth sees Bera, daughter of his king, he wants her as his wife. A man accustomed to getting what he desires, he’s surprised by her adamant refusal of his advances.

Disgusted by the foul brute who demands her company, Bera makes her feelings for Erik clear. She wants nothing to do with him, even if he is one of her father’s favorite warriors and her only other marriage offers are from a pair of loathsome brothers.

Erik abducts Bera with the hope of winning her heart and saving her from marrying one of two evil men, but his rash act will come at a high price.

Excerpt (Explicit)

“All this over a woman,” Grim said with disgust.

Erik draped an arm around Bera and held her close. “Some women are worth it.”

“I thought you said you believed nothing happened?” Grim demanded.

“I do believe you. If I didn’t, you wouldn’t still be breathing, even if it is only through one nostril.”

“I’d rather have one nostril than be half blind.”

Erik’s lip twisted in a wicked grin. “I don’t know about that. Odin had just one eye, so I’m not in bad company.”

“At least he gave it up for the sake of wisdom,” Grim said.

“What do you want with me?” Bera asked, wary. If he believed they were innocent yet had still punished Grim, what did he intend to do with her?

“Many things, beautiful Bera,” he said, guiding her toward the storage shed.

“Do you plan on beating me too?” she asked with more courage than she felt.

He glanced at her, his brow furrowed. “Of course not.”

Inside the storage shed, he closed the door behind them and dragged a barrel in front of it. They were quite alone amidst the many barrels and trunks. He sat on a trunk and pulled her face-down across his lap. Before she had a chance to react, he pulled up her dress and smacked her bottom.

“What are you doing?” she shouted, struggling to stand, but it was impossible. He held her down easily and smacked her buttocks again, not painfully, but just enough to smart. “I thought you said you weren’t going to beat me?”

“This isn’t beating. This is pleasurable punishment. There’s a great difference.” Again he struck her behind.

“Let me up, you great oaf! Oh!” she cried when his big hand smacked her firmly.

She clenched her buttocks, prepared for the next whack. By now her ass felt warm and tingly. After the next smack he lightly caressed her stinging bottom and the sensation aroused her more than she wanted to admit.

“You have no reason to do this. Grim and I did nothing wrong.”

“This has nothing to do with Grim,” he said. “I know you did nothing wrong.”

“Then why…” Her voice trailed off as he dipped his hand between her legs. His fingers slid easily inside her, since she was quite slick with passion.

“Erik, don’t,” she breathed, her eyes fluttering shut. “Not here.”

“Why? It’s as private as the bed closet.” He guided her to her feet and positioned her in front of him, her back to him. Holding up her skirt, he began covering her backside with kisses. His warm, wet tongue swept over her flesh, made sensitive from the pleasurable punishment.
