Don't Tempt Me by Amity Maree Read Free Book Online Page B

learn something that would help her client. She quietly made her way toward the noise and was surprised to realize it was Nadine and Craig. Maybe things weren't as lovey-dovey as they pretended. She decided to listen and see what she could learn.
    "How could anyone believe me, Craig? I am even beginning to think I am guilty!"
    "That is ridiculous, young lady. You are innocent, and Jenna Fields is going to prove it."
    "How? If I don't have a clue who is framing me, how can she?" Nadine demanded.
    "Your attitude needs adjusting. Jenna is a sharp as nails attorney; she told me she believes you innocent, and I believe her. She wouldn't have said it if she didn't believe it."
    "Just because she is an attorney doesn't mean she is a god, Craig. Attorneys are people just like the rest of us, believe me."
    "The woman is here to help you, Mrs. Warner, and you have gone too far with this 'poor me' attitude. I want to see my sweet wife, not this shrew who is making herself miserable."
    "How would you feel if someone framed you?" Nadine demanded.
    "Angry, but I wouldn't take it out on you," Craig promptly answered.
    "Well, excuse me. I never claimed I was perfect. Why don't you just go home, Craig, and let me finish up this project for your Dad? He wants it by noon tomorrow, and I want to get it done."
    "You aren't hiding here at work. You're coming home, and we're going to Michele and Aaron's party tonight."
    "No. I'm not going. I don't feel like facing all the questions, or even worse, having people whispering about me behind my back."
    "You are not going to act like you have something to hide. We are going, and that is final."
    "Don't you dare take that tone with me, Mister!" Nadine snarled angrily. "No... NO! Don't you dare!" she squealed. "Craig, noooo! Owwwwww!" she cried out in pain.
    Jenna felt her face turn red as she realized that Craig was spanking Nadine. The young woman had certainly gone out of her way to provoke a spanking, and Craig was doing a thorough job of it.
    "Stop, Craig! You are hurting me!" Nadine cried out. His answer was to push up her skirt and then tug her panties down to bare her bottom, which bore evidence of his handprints on her skin. "Noooo! What if someone is still here?" she said, embarrassed.
    "Well, if it is Dad, he'll applaud and tell me it's about time I set your bottom on fire. I've been too patient with you, Nadine, and you need a good spanking. You might just as well resign yourself to the fact you are going to be here for a long while."
    "No... Not the ruler, Craig! Ouch! Ouch! Owwwwww! It hurts!" she burst into tears.
    "It's supposed to hurt. It's supposed to get your attention, young lady," Craig scolded her.
    He continued to spank her with the ruler and Jenna felt her face turn red. She knew how embarrassing it was to get a spanking. Part of her wanted to make a noise and interrupt them, but the other part of her knew the spanking was earned. She decided to mind her own business and just leave.
    To her absolute mortification, Mr. Warner was standing outside his office, and she knew she'd been caught eavesdropping. He motioned for her to come inside his office, and she knew she had no choice but obey and take the scolding she deserved.
    "I hope you aren't upset with Craig, Ms. Fields," Frank Warner said calmly. "I know that spanking isn't considered politically correct these days, but it works, and little Nadine needs exactly what Craig is doing. I certainly hope you don't intend to report him for domestic abuse. A spanking isn't abusive if it is given with love." When Jenna smiled, he asked, "What is so amusing, young woman?"
    "I was expecting you to scold me for eavesdropping," she admitted. "I didn't mean any harm, but was hoping that whoever was in that office might reveal something to help me figure out who is framing Nadine. The last thing I would do would be to interfere in a domestic situation like that. It's not my place to judge, and even if it were, I couldn't fault Craig." Her face
