My heart stuttered to a stop. It was a strange feeling, being helpless like this. It was humiliating in a way I’d never before experienced. My face burned with heat, and I squirmed when his hand brushed against my bare backside. It was a slow, deliberate movement—almost as though he knew I was embarrassed, and was delighting in it.
“If you are to stay here, you will abide my rules.”
I heard the thunderclap of his hand against my defenseless buttocks before I felt the terrible sting. Two things happened next: My heart jolted back to beating inside my chest, and then I felt an incredible sweep of heat over my bottom.
“Every. Single. One.” Each word was punctuated with a hard spank that left me gasping for breath.
Ow! Stop it! Please, stop!
But I had no way to convey my desperate pleas, which frustrated me all the more as my bottom continued to be assuaged with sharp smacks.
“I will not have violence in my home,” he stated ironically as his hand punished my burning skin.
“In time, I hope that you will learn how to behave as a princess ought.”
I could not help myself. I snorted. Perhaps princesses are taught to be different here.
But he must not have liked that, because hard, quick spanks landed on the lower curve of my buttocks. “I assure you, I intend to be a good teacher from this moment forward.”
I had hoped that meant this whipping was coming to an end, but I was to be sorely disappointed. Though the prince no longer spoke, his hand did the talking for him, landing again and again against my burning skin. It punished every inch of my bottom, from the top of my cheeks all the way down to the spot where my butt and thighs met.
If I could have screamed, I would have howled. Instead, I kicked my feet in protest, drumming my toes against the cool air until the prince trapped my legs beneath one of his. His hand bit into me in a new barrage of spanks that left me wishing I’d just taken the chance of drowning.
I’m sorry! I won’t do it again! I’ll be good, if only you’ll stop! I’ll do anything to make it stop!
But all I had were useless puffs of air, and without a way to beg, all I could do was take his harsh punishment—just as he’d said I would. Another spank landed, then another. Finally, I sagged against his knees, all the fight gone out of me.
Still, the chastising blows did not cease. They fell one atop another until I felt sure I would die. But then I felt something stranger still: a burning in my eyes. Before I could even process this new feeling, there was another: hot water leaking from my eyes onto my cheeks.
Oh, merciful Gods of the sea! I cried out silently. What strange new hell is this?
But even when I closed my eyes, the awful reprimand of his paddle-like hand continued and so did the water on my cheeks. It was as terrible as the whipping, or nearly so. Soon, my body began to shake with it. I felt an especially terrible blow against my lower buttock that made me jolt. Then another. And the water spilled faster, pouring down my face and onto the carpet.
It was a long time before I realized the prince had stopped and his fearsome, punishing hand now rested on my back. It was a longer time still before my shoulders stopped shaking. When he let me up, pulling me to sit on his knee, my head was hanging in shame as I tried to hide from him.
The pain of my scorched bottom against his knee was the greatest yet, but I could do nothing about it.
“Shhh. There, you’re going to be a good girl for me now, aren’t you?”
Miserably, I nodded.
“Good. But just to be sure, I’m going to give you some time to think on it—to let the lesson really sink in.”
Water dripped from my eyes down my cheeks as I forced myself to look up at him.
The prince smoothed his thumb over my cheek, nonplussed by the water coming from my eyes. “I do not like to see you cry, but I’m afraid a few more tears will be in your future yet.”
Tears… what a strange word.
“Come now.” He put me off his lap, steadying me when I wobbled. Then he led me to the corner of the room. “Kneel.”
I looked at him blankly, puzzled, yet afraid to displease him while my bottom still radiated heat.
Thankfully, he seemed to sense my confusion and gently, yet firmly pushed me down until I was on my knees. “Remain like that and do not move. If you do, I’ll fetch a birch and see if I can’t make you scream after all.”
His voice wasn’t unkind, but I shivered at the threat all the same, despite the fact that I had no idea what a birch was.
“Wait there.”
