“Run,” Gray uttered in my ear.

I was so confused. “I thought you just—”

“Run, before I change my mind.”

He released me and I ran for the bedroom, and straight into the bathroom, hiding behind the door. I held my breath as he prowled around, pretending he didn’t know where I was. I brought my hand to my mouth to muffle the giggles I couldn’t control.

“Gotcha!”

I squealed with surprise when Gray poked his head around the door. He reached out and grabbed my wrist, tugging me to him.

“That was far too easy. We should go outside.”

He chuckled at my expression. “When you ran away to the top of the mountain, did you see anyone?”

“No.” I shook my head and wondered where he was going with this.

“Lots of trees, I presume?”

I caught a new vision, this one of me running and hiding behind a mighty pine and him finding me, tipping me over the nearest fallen limb and spanking my backside before plunging inside my very slick opening.

“I can see from the expression of lust on your face, little one, that you like the idea of being taken by Daddy up on the mountain.”

I’d been terrified up there by myself in the dark, but with Daddy it wasn’t fear that made me shudder, but desire. I loved playing chase; it had been my favorite game in school. We’d called it “boys chase the girls,” and we’d always had a safe zone where we couldn’t be tagged—or kissed, as it was in our version.

I’d been a fast runner in my childhood, but I never ran too fast in the game, as the intention was to get kissed. I had liked the game until one of the boys I allowed to catch me smelled like tuna fish. After that day, no one caught me.

“What’s that face for?” Daddy asked sternly.

“Oh, sorry. I was lost in a memory of playing tag in school and getting caught by a boy who smelled like tuna fish.” I made a yucky face and Gray laughed.

“I see. Note to self, no tuna fish before kissing my princess.”

I loved it when he called me his princess. And I really felt like one, minus the ivory castle.

“Let’s pack some water and a blanket, and then we can go.”

I clapped my hands excitedly, so happy to be going to play chase with my Daddy.

The day was gorgeous, with no clouds in the sky. I felt myself blush every time we passed a trail sign that I’d had to fix with Daddy’s help. I was still blown away by how destructive I became that day and what I’d done to Rawhide.

After a meeting with Derek, it had been decided that in order to learn respect for the environment where I got to live and go to school, I was to do service hours. So, every day after my classes, I reported to the head custodian, and he gave me a task to complete.

I was also required to attend mandatory therapy sessions with the Dentens. I had been given the option between Sam and his wife, Catherine. And although I loved her warm, motherly approach, I was more inclined to speak the truth to Sam, who was a Daddy-Dom through and through. He also provided me with context from Gray’s perspective on things which, until those sessions, I’d really been in the dark about.

“Are those red cheeks from the sunshine or shame?”

I swear the man had magic Jedi powers!

“Both, I think. The signs remind me of how badly I lost it that day.”

I was hitting on a sensitive subject. There hadn’t been any discussion regarding chastising errant bottoms in class, and I wondered what would happen the next time he spanked someone. Would I lose it like before?

No matter how many times Derek and Gray went over my contract and the role Gray had as a teacher at Rawhide University, I couldn’t get past the image of Amber bending over his desk, her voluptuous rear on display for my man. I reached into my pocket for my rock and rubbed it furiously in an attempt to chase away the unwelcomed vision.

Even though it hadn’t been said, at least not to me, I knew that if I lost it again, Gray would have to choose, because there was no way they’d let me stay if I pulled that crap again. Derek had read me the riot act and Gray had beat it into my backside.

Gray all but sprinted up the hill while I trudged behind him huffing and puffing. I really needed to get in shape. I was lucky and was naturally slim, with an hourglass figure. But slim and healthy were two different things, or so I was told.
