Savannah

I wanted to trust Logan. I did. But what if his words meant nothing, just like so many other people in my life?

The firmness of his gaze made my stomach flip, but there wasn’t malice there. It was caring.

It was enough to make me swallow hard and lay my upper body over the bed. Because I needed this from him. I needed the reassurance that he wouldn’t just give up on me, like other people had when I refused to take down my walls. That he wouldn’t just leave me when he found out the truth. That he would follow through on his promises.

The sting of his hand had faded to a barely-there warmth. A shiver went through me as I waited for the spanking to continue, to center me until I could let the words out.

The swish of leather through belt loops caught my attention.

He was serious. My body relaxed slightly, even with the anticipation of what was going to happen. He hadn’t ever given me a reason not to trust him, had he?

Logan laid the folded belt along my ass, rubbing the leather gently along my skin. “Do you remember your safe words?”

I nodded, fisting my hands into the mattress as he picked up the belt. “Red, Sir. And yellow.”

“Good girl.” With a swish and a crack, the belt came down, its sting rising on my ass.

I sucked in a breath.

“You will tell me information I need to know for your safety.” Logan lectured, the belt falling steadily in time with his words. “You will trust me. With your physical safety, and your emotional safety.”

The belt striped my vulnerable backside, and as the burn started to rise, tears started to fall.

“I’m going to ask you what happened to Ace. But first, what is it you think I’ll do with this information? What did someone else do?”

A sob broke free as the belt struck over and over. “You’ll—leave. You’ll see how awful I am. And it’ll make you leave.” Tears were falling freely now as the truth rushed out of me.

“Who left you?”

“My boyfriend. My trainer. My friends. Everyone.” Everyone who mattered had disappeared. And everyone who’d come since had left when they realized I wouldn’t talk about things.

Logan paused, running his hands over the stinging skin. “And why did they leave, Savannah? What happened to Ace?”

I couldn’t get the words out as the sobs came pouring out.

The belt landed with more force, searing pain through my bottom. Again and again as my resolve crumbled while he didn’t give up.

He didn’t give up. He didn’t leave.

“What happened to Ace?”

I broke. “He died! I killed him!”
