Prologue

Six months ago

Arielle

WHO’S A NAUGHTY GIRL? His voice is deep, husky, and entirely masculine. My tiger is absolutely, completely, one hundred percent bad-boy, and I’m eating it up.

I’m a naughty girl, I giggle, playing along. It’s all a game with us. It always is, and it’s always fun. He makes me forget the stress that carries me through the day. He makes me forget the anxiety that constantly plagues me. When we’re here, alone, he makes me forget everything but the words he’s saying.

Does somebody need a spanking? He asks, and I bite my bottom lip. He says it almost jokingly, almost teasingly, but we both know I’m going to say yes.

We both know I’m going to beg him for it.

We both know I need this right now.

My life is fine. It’s ordinary. It’s dull. To be honest, it’s nothing special. I’m nothing special. I’m just your average woman. I happen to be a shifter, but I don’t think that makes me unique or unusual. It makes me slightly different, but not much.

Everything about me is regular and normal. My appearance is plain. I’m of medium height and medium weight and my hair is a boring shade of medium-brown. My job is mediocre and my house is mediocre and my entire life is mediocre.

Still, I don’t mind much. I really have no complaints except for one: my job is completely emotionally draining. As Honeypot’s resident social worker, I deal with shifter problems every day. Not only do I handle the few child abuse cases we get, but I help out in neighboring cities, help at the hospital, and deal with other local issues, too. Basically, anytime someone is having a hard time parenting or being a good citizen, I get sent in.

And sometimes, it’s completely exhausting.

Sometimes I don’t think I can keep going.

Sometimes I think I’m done.

And somehow, when I’m with Jason, I manage to forget about all of that for a little while. I’m not a masochist and he’s not a sadist. He wouldn’t even consider himself a Dom. That’s not really our thing.

But I like losing myself in him.

I like being spanked and bitten and licked and sucked.

And I like sucking on him.

Kissing him.

Tantalizing him.

It’s in these moments when I really feel free. I really feel at ease. I feel calm and comfortable and sure of myself. He lets me explore a side of me that would otherwise be left undiscovered. Jason gives me freedom.

I haven’t been bad enough for a spanking, I say sweetly, but he raises an eyebrow.

Is that so, little darling?

Mmhmm, I whisper. I know he doesn’t believe me. I’ve always been bad enough for a spanking. It’s all for play. It’s all for fun. It’s all for the pleasure it brings and for me, getting spanked brings a lot of fucking pleasure.

He reaches for me and strokes my nipple. It’s already hard and ready for him. It sticks out from my breast, silently begging him to give me more, to touch me more.

I just need his mouth on me.

Stand up, Jason says. Slowly, seductively, I climb off the bed, wiggling my ass as I move. I turn to face him and he rolls to his side, propping himself up on one elbow. Then Jason just looks at me. His eyes wander over my body and his gaze covers every inch of me: my face, my breasts, my stomach. He looks at all of me and I’ve never felt so sexy.

I’ve never felt so complete.

He moves his finger around, indicating I should turn, and I do. My ass is facing him now, but I’m not self conscious.

I’ve never been this way around a man before. I’ve always been nervous, unsure. I’ve always been awkward and shy and clumsy.

It comes with being a bear.

I move gracefully, sometimes, but I never feel that way. Not in my ordinary life. I never feel delicate or sweet or
