Bella's POV.

It had been a month since I moved in with Ryder, and he had invited me to accompany him to a house party. I hesitated, feeling unsure about attending such a gathering.

"Oh no, Ryder, what am I going to do at that party?" I argued, trying to find a way out.

But Ryder was insistent, his voice firm and commanding, "I don't want to hear any excuses. I just want you to come with me. Be ready at 7. I'll be there early, and we'll go together to the party. Wear my favorite green dress."

As we arrived at the party, it was evident that Ryder had a magnetic aura that drew people in. Everyone flocked around him, leaving me to feel like an outsider.

I sat there, increasingly bored and regretful of my decision to come. Just as my disappointment grew, Kate, an acquaintance, approached me.

    Bella's POV.Ryder took me home with a dangerous promise. My heart was pounding in my chest. He said he would punish me. What did he mean by that? After reaching home, he dragged me towards his room and threw me on the bed."Are you ready, baby girl, for your punishment?" His eyes darkened as he measured my body from head to heel. I could not speak; I just stood there, licking my dry lips, waiting for his punishment. He sat on the edge of the bed and spread his legs wider, resting his elbow on his knees.

"Over my knees," he ordered in his dominant voice, and I moved ahead and sat on his lap. He flipped me and I bent over his lap. My head was hanging down in the air and my ass was up over his knees.
