In this delicious conclusion to our recent popular release The Book Thief, Eve X gets to turn the tables on their assailant. For a spanking and a stack of free books, Eve says, they won’t need to involve the media and the police - and they aren’t ashamed to weaponise their pregnancy to get sympathy. What choice does Sai have but to go along with their plan for revenge?

Turns out that Sai isn’t very good at playing the part of the accused wrongdoer. Far from humbly apologising as they receive their punishment, they just can’t resist the temptation to talk back - and that bratty, snarky wit earns them an extremely sound spanking, as Eve reaches for a whole variety of books and Sai’s own studded leather belt.

This scene, like its predecessor, is a beautiful microcosm of a real relationship - funny, sexy, and deeply connected.
