“Tha-thank you,” she said softly.
“You’re welcome.” Picking her up, I returned to the living room and took a seat on the couch, once again settling her on my lap. When she gave another soft hiss, I adjusted her so that her hip took most of her weight instead of her bottom. “Better?”
She nodded against my chest and gave a shuddering sigh. “That… that was awful.”
I couldn’t argue the point as I’d made sure it wouldn’t be enjoyable. The sooner she learned how determined I was to be the best daddy I could be, the fewer spankings she’d have to endure. I might enjoy swatting her bottom in play, but to do so as punishment wasn’t my favorite activity.
“I love you with all my heart, but you can expect that same ‘awful’ every time you decide to act the brat. Understand?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
Glancing at my watch, I said, “It’s getting late. You need to call Judith Powers and decline the position.”
“You know she isn’t going to be happy,” Hannah said.
“Well, I expect she might not be pleased, but I do know of a certain young lady who will be extremely unhappy if she doesn’t obey her daddy.”
“Can’t I call her in the morning?”
I shrugged. “I said you’d be making that call while your bottom still burned, so if you’d rather wait and have me reignite that fire you’re currently feeling tomorrow, then I suppose you can.”
Just as I’d expected, she shook her head vigorously. Giving her a hug and a kiss on her forehead, I set her onto her feet. When she reached behind to rub, I reached and pulled her hands off her ass.
“No rubbing. I want you to feel every bit of that burn while you are making that call.”
“I’m quite positive it will take more than a bit of rubbing to put out the fire. You spank really hard!”
“That’s why it’s called punishment, Hannah. Now go get your phone and come back.” I watched her mouth open as if ready to protest my monitoring her phone call, and then close the moment I slipped a hand behind her and patted her ass.
“Yes, Daddy,” she said instead. Once she returned, she climbed back onto my lap and waited for her call to connect.
“Mrs. Powers? Hi, this is Hannah Griffith. I’m sorry I missed you. Can you please call me back at your earliest convenience? Thank you.”
I wasn’t pleased to know that she’d had to leave a message, but couldn’t fault Hannah for that.
“I tried,” she said.
“You did,” I acknowledged, trying not to read anything into the relieved look on her face as she disconnected the phone call. “Now, Stephanie.”
That call did connect and Hannah apologized for attempting to take over the t-shirt responsibility. She informed Stephanie that the shirts would be appreciated by all the participants and thanked her for her hard work. She also called Nancy Grafton, asking if she could get some other ladies to help finish the flowers.
“We can have a flower party,” she said, her face brightening. “I’ll provide lunch…” She paused and looked up at me. “You know what? How about everyone brings a dish and we can have a potluck some day next week? Oh, that sounds like fun. You make the best enchiladas. Just let me know what dish I can make to fill out the menu. Thanks, Nancy!”
Extremely proud of her, and wanting her to know that just because she’d been punished that didn’t mean there would be any doubt that she was forgiven and that I loved her, I took her phone and tossed it onto the couch. “How about we finish celebrating our anniversary with a bath?”
“With bubbles?”
Chuckling, I wondered what my soldiers would think of their commanding office covered with bubbles… then again, they’d most likely be jealous as hell. “Sure, what’s a bath without bubbles? Go pick out which one you want,” I said, once again setting her on her feet and giving her bare ass a pat, loving her squeal as she hurried away.
I secured the house, flipping off lights before I walked down the hall. I paused when I reached the bathroom. Standing in the threshold of the door, I had to smile. Hannah was bent over the side of the tub, pouring a stream of bubbles directly from the bottle into the water gushing from the faucet, giggling as the mound of bubbles grew taller and taller. The slightly too sweet aroma told me she’d picked the most floral scent she could. Sill, my cock twitched at the sight of her red buttocks, six welts lined up in a row bearing testament to the fact that I’d done as I’d promised and made her ass burn, so a little bit of payback was acceptable.
“Smells like a field of flowers. A huge field,” I teased, causing her to give another giggle as she turned to face me. “Come here, let me undress you.”
Once she stood before me, I grinned. “Arms up.” It wasn’t as if this would be the first or the thousandth time I’d seen her nude, but for some reason, watching her eyes glow and her face flush as she obediently lifted her arms was a definite first for me. I tugged her sweater over her head and then flicked open the catch of her bra, sliding it off her shoulders and tossing it onto the floor. God, she was beautiful. She was as light as I was dark, her hair blonde, her eyes a gorgeous aquamarine. The paleness of her skin made her rosy-tipped nipples seem even darker, reminding me of the ripest raspberries, waiting to be plucked.
“Um, should I get in the tub?”
“Not yet,” I answered, reaching to shut off the water. “First, I need to remove those little curls.”
