live alone,” he commented with a sigh. Looking down at his watch, his eyebrows drew together as he noted the time. “You’ve had a busy day, Lexi. Should I leave, so you can get some rest? I wouldn’t want to overstay my welcome…”
Making herself comfortable on the gold patterned, upholstered couch, she hugged a large fringed pillow. “No, I’m not tired. Please stay a little longer.”
“Okay, would you like to open your gift?” Sporting a wide grin, Raul pulled a narrow wrapped object from the bag and took a seat beside her. “I may have just the thing to relax that tense mind of yours.”
“Of course. Who doesn’t love presents?” Lexi took hold of the package, ripped off the brown paper, and stared at the title. “ Mystery of the Glowing Eye ?”
“It’s a Nancy Drew novel,” Raul answered proudly.
“I haven’t read one in years, but I’ve always liked mysteries.”
“Actually, I was hoping to read to you. It might be a nice way for us to spend time together,” he said softly before waiting patiently for a reaction.
“My mom died when I was young, so I don’t have any memories of her reading to me and Dad never spent time doing those kinds of warm and fuzzy things with us. He wasn’t exactly what I’d call paternal.” Again, she stopped to think. “When we had breakfast together, you talked about wanting to nurture someone. Is this what you meant?”
“What I want is for you to feel safe with me. I’d like to take care of you, but there will always be consequences for disobedience,” Raul said, carefully moving a stray hair behind her ear. “I can remind you of the entire conversation we had not long ago…”
She liked the idea of his protective nature, but when he said the word consequences , her bottom actually quivered. On the other hand, his friendship really couldn’t have come at a better time.
“No, I remember every single word of it,” she said in a small voice, her face blushing a bright shade of pink as she peered through her long golden bangs.
Raul’s smile was bright. “Now, would you like to hear the story, young lady?” he asked, opening the brand new glossy covered book.
“Yes, sir,” she answered respectfully, watching as his face glowed at her response.
Chapter Ten
It was around 6:45 on Saturday morning when Lexi checked her watch to see if the shift had finally ended. With a feeling that someone was behind her, she immediately turned her head to find Dr. Morales standing in the hallway, his lips forming a tight line as he curled a finger in her direction. After following him back into his private office, she closed the door and watched as he walked across the room to sit behind his small desk.
“Was I supposed to drive you to work last night?” he asked, stretching his arms down either side of the smooth surface, leaning toward her.
“But you weren’t scheduled to come in, and it really isn’t that far for me to walk,” she responded, her eyes focusing on a small cot in the corner of his on-call room.
His fingertips tapped heavily on the desk. “When I came to pick you up, there was no one home. We arranged a time before I left your apartment on Thursday, remember?”
“Yes, but…”
“No buts, young lady. We had an agreement,” he said, his tone darkening as he stood and walked to lock the door.
Lexi’s feet were glued to the floor as she stood there wearing a stunned expression. “Why are you doing that?” she asked, angling her head toward him.
As he moved to stand behind her, his palm rested firmly on her pert, rounded bottom. “Have you ever been spanked, Miss Roberts?”
“No,” she said, swallowing hard. Even through her pants and underwear, she could feel the heat of his hand, and something deep inside her vibrated from his tender touch.
“Well, I think you deserve a trip over my knee, little girl. Maybe a spanking will do you some good,” he said, his hand patting the lower portion of her backside.
