“Okay, please go!”
He left her, going downstairs to fix her a cup of tea. She’d need it to replenish the fluids she was losing. He was sipping a cup of coffee when he heard the toilet flush. Pouring the water over the teabag, he still didn’t move to take it to her as she’d yet to call for him. A few minutes later, he heard the toilet flush again and after another minute he heard her.
“Daddy?”
He carried her mug upstairs and found her standing at the vanity, washing her hands.
“How do you feel?”
“Much better. Thank you for helping me. I’m really sorry, Daddy.”
“I am too, baby. Come on, let’s get you dressed and I’ve made you some tea.” He took her hand, and once in her room, he dressed her back in her two-piece pajama set. Sitting on the bed, he held her on his lap while she drank her tea. “Drink it all, Elena. You need the fluids.”
When she was done, she looked up at him. “Are you going to spank me?”
“Yes, but not now. You need to get some rest.”
She nodded, and he helped her into bed, bending to kiss her cheek. “Sleep, little one. We’ll take care of the rest after you’ve napped.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
He didn’t leave the room, but sat beside her, stroking her hair and her arm until she was asleep. Even then, he continued to sit, just watching her slumber. She looked so small, so innocent and he knew it would be hard to punish her, but he also knew he had to follow through. Elena needed to understand that actions had consequences, and the only way for her to learn that lesson was if he was consistent.
The only time he left her was to go downstairs and get his book. He wanted to be close in case she woke and needed to run to the bathroom. Sitting in the rocker, he read and looked up every time she shifted in her bed.
When she woke up three hours later, he put his book aside and went to her. “How do you feel?”
“A whole lot better.”
“I’m glad. Are you hungry?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good. I’ll make you some toast and eggs.” He picked her up and carried her down the stairs. He was very pleased when she ate two pieces of toast and two scrambled eggs. “Do you want more?”
“No, thank you, I’m full.”
Liam nodded, taking her plate and glass of juice she’d emptied. When he looked up after washing them, he saw her eyes shimmering. “What’s wrong? Does your tummy hurt?”
“No… my heart does. I feel so awful. I’ve felt awful since yesterday. You trusted me and I-I lied to you.”
Moving around the counter, he picked her up and carried her to an armchair. “Yes, you did, and I’m not going to lie and say that didn’t hurt me. It did, very much, Elena. Trust is a very important thing, a fragile thing.”
She nodded, a tear slipping down her cheek.
Wiping it away with his fingertip, he continued. “But we all make mistakes. The important thing is that we learn from them.”
“Do you still love me?”
“Oh, Elena, of course I do. Baby, I will always love you. Don’t you ever think for a single second that I’ll stop loving you. You are my heart, my soul.” He bent to kiss her cheek. “That doesn’t mean that I’m not going to punish you. That’s part of my job as your daddy.”
“I know, Daddy. I… I deserve a spanking.”
“Yes, you do, and you’ve also earned a whipping.”
She blanched a bit but then nodded. “I… I know. Can we get it over with, Daddy? I want to feel good in my heart again.”
“All right.” He set her off his lap to stand between his legs. “Tell me why Daddy is going to punish you.”
