Stories Where the Male Lead Is Whipped and Often Gets Beaten by the Female Lead

I remember reading a modern romance where the male lead made a mistake and cautiously asked the female lead if she was going to hit him. She said, “I will. I’ll beat you to death. Scared?” He was afraid the whole way there, and only once they got in the car did he say, “Could you... not beat me to death? I couldn’t bear it.”
