Lily
Of all the outcomes, this was one of the last she would have expected to provoke, if she had thought of it as a possibility at all. Though perhaps she should have. Mary and Josie had both been frank about their involvement with the Society of Sin and had talked of Captain Jones’ activities with the club.
She had not expected him to lay hands onher.
Oh, really? Exactly what responsewereyou trying to provoke by acting like a madwoman?
Lily was the calm one. Out of all her friends, she was the least likely to do things like trying to run off in the rain or punching a captain of the army in the nose. She was the one who took the time to think and analyze before deciding on a course of action.
Something about Captain Jones got under her skin, and her emotions were harder to control than usual. There were good reasons for not wanting to spend overmuch time in the cottage with him, but if she was completely honest with herself, the moment he had told her there would be consequences for hitting him again… it was as though he had unleashed something within her.
She’d wanted to know what the consequences would be.
Not quite able to bring herself to do what he had told her not to do, she’d slapped him. She’d almost expected the ‘consequences’ would turn out to be nothing more than a threat.
Which she would have found disappointing.
She had not expected to react like this to being spanked.
Mary and Josie had spoken about it, and she had found their testimonies to be almost unbelievable.
Now, she was finding out for herself.
The intimacy of being over a man’s lap, feeling his strong thighs flexed beneath her stomach. Having her skirts flipped up and knowing he could see, and feel, more of her than any man ever had.
The shocking sting and lingering burn of his hand coming down against her upturned bottom hurt far more than she had imagined.
The first swat took her breath away, and she did not suck in another breath until his hand had come down twice more, and she was finally able to yelp in both shock and consternation.
There was no measured pattern, no consistency in the force, and therefore, no way of predicting where each swat would land or how much it would hurt.
The experience of being so physically imposed upon knocked Lily off her usual axis, stunning her mind with shock and making it impossible for her to think. Her thoughts came to a grinding halt as the physical sensations overwhelmed her.
“You will sit, and you will behave until such time as we can leave!”
Captain Jones’ voice penetrated the fog in her brain, and she realized he had been lecturing her as he spanked her. She had not heard a word he’d said until the last sentence.
Four more swats, then she was suddenly put upright again, a rush of dizziness spinning her head around. She had not even had the time to protest. Staring blankly at him, she did not resist as he turned her around and seated her in the chair he had just occupied.
Despite the brief time he had been sitting, it was still warm from his body. Or perhaps it was her own bottom’s warmth she was feeling. Lily stared up at him, feeling very… odd. Her mouth opened. Closed.
She should protest his brutal treatment. Rage against his handling of her person. Instead, she was speechless. Her mind was too busy categorizing and absorbing the sensations, which had happened too rapidly for her to do so as they occurred.
The warmth in her bottom had somehow spread throughout her body. She pressed her legs together. There was an odd throbbing between them. She felt odd everywhere, in fact. Even her chest. Her nipples felt… itchy.
Was this what Josie and Mary had been describing?

Nathan
Bloody hell. He’d traumatized the debutante.
Miss Davies was staring off into space, her eyes unfocused, lips slightly parted as if she could not believe what he had just done to her. Nathan had to press his lips to keep from apologizing.
He had warned her there would be consequences, though he should have outlined exactly what those consequences would be. If he had been at a Society event, that would have been expected. On the other hand, how did one tell a debutante that he was going to spank her if she did not behave?
How does one go about spanking a debutante? One does not. Yet you did it, anyway.
