know what the alternative might be, but she had certainly never been spanked in her life, and she couldn’t believe how much it stung! But every time his hand came down on her ass, it felt like her cheeks were going to catch on fire.
    “Now, if I let you up, are you going to behave yourself?” he asked, pausing momentarily.
    Shayna gritted her teeth. Damn the man! “Yes!” she hissed. “Just let me up already!”
    Taking Shayna’s arm, he set her back on her feet. Though she really wanted to slap his handsome face, she settled for rubbing her sore bottom instead, only to stop when she realized that the Marshal was reaching for his handcuffs. She couldn’t let him take her in, she thought. She had to do something!

CHAPTER 2
    Shayna knew if she were going to make a run for it that she was going to have to distract the Marshal somehow.
    He was standing right in front of her, and she’d never get past him if she didn’t come up with something good.
    But she had to try. She wasn’t letting him take her in without a fight.
    Her gaze darted to the open door and the empty hallway beyond, an idea springing into her head. This had better work, she thought.
    “Help me!” she cried. “He’s...”
    Her shout had the desired effect. At her words, the Marshal half turned toward the door, clearly looking to see who she was talking to. Shayna immediately grabbed the clock from the bedside table and tried to hit him with it.
    Of course, it probably would have worked better if the clock hadn’t still been plugged into the wall at the time.
    Unfortunately, it didn’t quite reach, and instead of knocking the Marshal over the head like she meant to, all she did was knock everything off the night table and turn his attention back to her.
    Clearly angry at her attempt to attack him again, the Marshal immediately snatched the clock from her hand and flung it to the floor. “You don’t give up, do you?” he growled.
    Shayna opened her mouth to retort, but before she could get the words out, the Marshal grabbed her arm and bent her over the bed. The next thing she knew, his hand was coming down on her ass again! What the heck was with this guy? she thought.
    “I guess you didn’t learn anything from that spanking I just gave you,” he said.
    He moved back and forth, administering a hard smack on first one cheek and then the other, and she bit back a cry as she glared at him over her shoulder. She refused to give him the satisfaction of letting him know how much the spanks really stung.
    “I learned that you’re a brute!” she snapped.
    His jaw tightened at that. “Still feisty, I see,” he said. “Well, then I guess I’m going to have to make sure I don’t let you up this time until I spank all the fight out of you!”
    Obviously intent on keeping his word, the Marshal proceeded to do just that. Much to Shayna’s dismay, he smacked her bottom over and over, and while she thought he had spanked her hard the first time, it had been nothing compared to how hard he was spanking her now. It felt like her bottom was on fire! Thank God, she was wearing jeans, she thought. She couldn’t imagine what the spanking would feel like on her bare bottom!
    But if he thought that a simple spanking would take the fight out of her, he was wrong! It might have stung like crazy, but Shayna still fought him wildly. She squirmed and wiggled as hard as she could, but it did no good. The Marshal had wrapped his arm around her waist and held her down more easily than she would have thought possible. She didn’t think she’d ever seen a man so strong!
    “Okay, Okay!” she cried. “I get it! I’ll stop fighting you and go along peacefully!”
    At her words, the Marshal stopped spanking her, much to her relief. “Really?” he said sarcastically. “It seems like you’re giving in a little fast to me. For all I know, you’re trying to trick me again. Well, I’m not falling for it this time!”
    Her eyes widened in shock at that. He
