The sound was muffled by a large semi-truck that drove past at that exact moment. The trucker laid on his horn. Had he seen her? Had he seen this man ...panking her? Lainey stiffened. “I was texting and driving,” she choked out the confession between smacks. “Yes, you were. That’s very naughty. You could have hurt someone, hurt yourself. You crashed into a stopped vehicle. That kind of behavior is unacceptable, Little Lainey.” Smack! Smack! Smack! He laid a series of fast hard strikes on her.
