If Alisa knew how much trouble living with Nick would get her, she would never have done it. She could say she was blinded by love, but that wasn't true. She has grown used to living with him despite all of their differences. It didn't hurt that he appeared to have an endless amount of what he deemed to be 'entertainment' money that he didn't mind spending on her when the mood struck. She knows there was something wrong with the amount of money he made from disappearing only a few hours a day.
What she wasn't prepared for was the repercussions to come her way... or how much she would enjoy the humiliation that she is subjected to under the expert hands on a man whose money Nick had been stealing. Alec is a powerful man, stern, brutal, and cruel in his bid to ensure that Nick pays his dues. She doesn't know what she hates more, the camera, the spanking, or the viciousness of his touch against her skin.
...
"Nick took something from me, so now I'm going to take something from him. I'd say that's fair, wouldn't you?"
She didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe the problem was that she wasn't thinking at all. She had already considered the possibility earlier and dismissed it as futile, but her body was moving entirely on it's own. She started to jump up with the intention of running, prey putting in one last effort when its tail was already between the teeth of the predator.
The second her feet touched the ground, he put his hands to her hips and stilled her.
"We're just going to send Nick a little message."
