“You’ll count and thank me for each,” he said, as he stepped back a bit and measured the distance, the paddle rubbing against her bottom. “Are you ready?” he asked.
“Yes, Sir,” Nancy said, closing her eyes. Jason placed one hand on the small of her back, his fingers splayed as if to be in contact with as much of her skin as possible. He lifted his arm and swung it down.
The leather made a loud slapping sound against her bottom, and Elizabeth felt her buttocks clench.
“One, thank you, Sir,” Nancy said, clearly.
He swung the paddle again. She gave a soft whimper before speaking. “Two, thank you, Sir,” she said, her fingers lifting for a moment before gripping her knees again.
As the third stroke connected, she yelped sharply, her hands flexing, opening and closing around her knees. “Ahhh… three, thank you, Sir. I’m so sorry. I won’t be flippant about your generosity again, Sir,” she said.
Jason ran his hand over her bottom, the skin only showing a slight blush of color that almost matched the soft pink of her thong.
Any evidence of an earlier spanking had disappeared, though Elizabeth was pretty sure her friend’s bottom was still quite tender.
He patted her once and then lowered her skirt. “You may rise,” he said, and when she did and immediately turned to him, Jason wrapped her in his arms.
Her love for him was obvious to all as she pressed her face into his chest. “Thank you,” she said again.
He nodded and lifted her face to his. “I love you,” he said, and bent to kiss her.
Elizabeth smiled and looked to see Logan’s reaction. He wasn’t watching the couple; his eyes were on her. A sense of longing swept through her, and she understood this man realized it without her speaking.
Jason grinned, handing the paddle he’d used on her bottom to Nancy.
“We’ll definitely be taking this one,” Jason said, and Harry smiled, stepping forward to show him some additional choices.
Elizabeth walked to her friend and gave her a quick hug.
Nancy smiled and shook her head. “Maybe leather isn’t my friend after all,” she said.
“Liar,” Elizabeth teased, bumping her hip against Nancy’s.
“Shh,” Nancy said with a smile as she shot her husband a glance. “God knows I don’t need another lesson today.”
“Your secret is safe with me,” Elizabeth reassured her. Both women knew that, though the leather paddle was capable of causing pain, it was also capable of grounding them, making them feel safe and protected.
By the time they left Harry’s booth, Elizabeth had the hair clip in her hair and a small box, where she planned to store the clip and other special mementos. She also had Harry’s business card, with his assurance that he would be more than happy to meet with her to discuss any needs she or Nancy had. Nancy had the picture frame and the paddle that Jason had used on her. Logan was carrying a bag but did not speak of his purchase. When he saw Elizabeth looking at the bag, he simply smiled.
They walked back to the car and Logan opened the trunk to put away their purchases. As Elizabeth handed him her box, she saw a large black duffle bag. She blushed and wondered if it contained the same sort of toys that Jason carried in his when they went clubbing. Driving back to The Heights, they stopped at a small restaurant and had some of the best pizza Houston had to offer. Nancy was quieter, with a softened look on her face, never letting her hand stray too far from Jason. It was early evening when Logan pulled up in front of Nancy and Jason’s house.
Chapter Sixteen
Elizabeth was a little disappointed when Logan asked for a rain check when they were invited inside, but she didn’t say anything. He told her to wait, as he exited the car to open the trunk. He handed Jason their items and then Elizabeth watched as he took out the bag he’d carried and handed it to Nancy. Nancy looked surprised but smiled and thanked him after he bent down to kiss her cheek. Nancy turned to wave at Elizabeth. Elizabeth waved back, trying to hide her disappointment. She had been so sure that whatever Logan had purchased, it was going to be something for them to share.
She barely managed not to beg for an explanation as Logan slid back behind the wheel. As Logan parked at her apartment, she remembered not to let her hand stray anywhere near the seat belt release until he had turned off the ignition and walked around the car to open her door.
“Good girl,” he said with a smile, as he helped her from the car. He handed her the small box from the back seat where he had transferred it after stopping at Jason’s. He placed his palm on her back as he led her up the stairs and smiled his approval at the sight of the keys in her hand.
“Would you like to come in for some coffee?” she asked, wondering if he had other plans, since he’d turned down the same invitation from Nancy.
“I’d like that,” he said, following her inside and closing the door behind him.
He leaned against the kitchen bar, as she put the K-cup he had chosen into the machine. As it brewed, she took down two mugs from her cabinet and placed creamer and sugar within his reach.
“Thank you for today,” she said, as they took their coffee into the living room. “I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting your friend, Harry. How long have you known him?”
“Probably a good ten years now,” Logan answered, as he sat on the couch.
