I screamed. "Owwwwww!"
"As I mentioned, you are only hurting yourself, literally and figuratively." I heard the smirk in his voice.
"Okay, okay, I get it," I muttered through gritted teeth.
"I'm glad you understand. Brace yourself, then. These last ones are gonna hurt, but we'll be done soon."
He wasn't lying. The remainder of the swats, still hard and fast, fell in the same tender crease, and upon the tops of my thighs. After only a couple, the tears I had been fighting fell, and I felt truly sorry. Bain was doing his best to help me, and he'd already gone above and beyond. His methods were exactly what I'd needed and went far beyond a good ass-blistering.
"I'm sorry!" I cried. "I know that everything you do is for my own good, and I'll try harder to follow the rules."
"Or at least not to break them on purpose," Bain said pointedly, laying down one last hard swat across the tops of my thighs before dropping the dowel onto the floor and rubbing his hands across my aching ass.
"You took that very well," he praised.
Only at that moment did I know how much it would warm my heart to be told I took a spanking well. It was a silly thing really, but when was the last time I'd been told ‘good job’ for any reason? I couldn't remember.
He continued rubbing the tender skin on my bottom before moving to my lower back while I hiccupped out the last of my tears.
Finally, just as I was beginning to feel awkward, he pulled me up and stood me on my feet in front of him, pulling my leggings and panties up before taking my hands in his.
"If you ever tell anyone I said this, I'll deny it, but I'm glad you tested me."
"You are? But you said—"
"I know what I said. And it was true. Testing Daddy is naughty, and breaking a rule on purpose only hurts you, but I'm also a little glad you tested. It tells me that you are getting more comfortable with the parameters of our arrangement."
"Oh." I paused to consider. "Yeah, I guess I am. It still feels weird at times, but the benefits are there. I can't dispute that.”
"I pulled up your pants so you'd have privacy while we talked,” he said, effectively changing the subject, “but I need you to walk over to your computer now, and sit on your bare bottom while you do thirty minutes of work. I'll set a timer, and when you're done, we'll talk about the rest of the week. "
My bottom clenched as I thought about sitting on a hard wooden chair, but I wanted Bain to be pleased with me and to know I appreciated his efforts, so I hurried to obey. Just as he'd said, he set a timer as soon as I opened my current document.
It was an easy assignment, one that I was more than halfway finished with, and it was easy to get back in the thick of it. I didn't even notice Bain moving around my house until he plopped a bottle of water and a chocolate bar beside me.
"What's this?" I frowned. The water was from my fridge, but I didn't have a secret candy stash. Candy was a treat, and not something I often spent money on.
"A different form of aftercare," he explained with a shrug. "It's always important to rehydrate after a session, and the chocolate helps give you some feel-good endorphins that can help reduce sub drop."
"I see. Well, if Daddy says chocolate is in my best interest, who am I to argue?" Unwrapping the bar, I broke off a section and popped it in my mouth, closing my eyes when the sweetness hit my taste buds. "Mmmm. That does help." I had no idea if it really did or not, but the truth was, despite my aching bottom, I felt pretty damn good. Having Bain take care of me in such sweet ways even while I was still being punished, just about did me in.
I turned my attention back to my work, and Bain slid into the seat across from me, pen and paper in front of him, diligently making notes. I longed to peek over and see what he was writing, but I held off until the timer beeped.
He turned it off and looked at me. "Very good. You can pull up your pants and stop working now."
"Hold on." I bit my lower lip as I typed away. "I'm only two sentences from the end. Can I finish it up and submit it?"
"Be my guest."
"Done!" I exclaimed triumphantly as I slammed my computer shut a few minutes later and jumped to my feet, pulling my garments back over my sore ass. "I'm actually two assignments ahead. I can't remember the last time that happened. It was before Marcus was born. It feels really good. So again, thank you."
Impulsively, I walked up to him and pressed a soft kiss on his chiseled jaw before turning on my heel and walking away. I'd just taken my seat again when he growled, his hand touching the same area my lips just had.
"You keep doing that. And I'm trying really hard to be a gentleman. But if you do that again…no promises."
My eyes met his, and found them glazed and filled with lust. My mouth dropped open as I processed his subtle threat, and I licked my lips, which were suddenly dry.
And then, before I could stop myself, or consider consequences, think about Henry, or second guess, I jumped down from my seat, walked over to him, and kissed him again. This time on the lips.
