receive a full spanking, over my knee, on your bare bottom."
She immediately tried to get up as she said, "You wouldn't dare."
He tightened his arms a bit, holding her still. "Darlin', don't dare me because I most definitely will do anything I tell you I'll do. But think about that concept a minute."
She looked at him, confused.
"If I tell you you'll be spanked if you come up here alone, you can count on it. However, if I tell you I'll have the boys clean up the guesthouse so you can move in tomorrow evening if you want, you can count on that, too. If I tell you we'll go riding, we'll go riding. If I tell you you're safe with me and I'll protect you, I will."
She was listening and he was glad that she'd settled back down on his lap again. She still looked confused, though and he didn't like that. "I know you've got some questions, I can see it in your eyes. Ask them. I'll answer anything you want to ask me and I'll answer honestly. You can count on that, too. I'll always be honest with you, Sam."
" I don't get it. Are you saying that if you're driving, if a lady pulls her car out in front of you and you hit her, you'll spank her?"
He chuckled as he said, "No, of course not. There's a major factor missing there, in your example."
" What's missing?"
" My protective instinct only kicks in with ladies I care about."
Sam looked up at him, eyes wide again. As much as she wished it were true, he couldn't really be saying he cared for her, could he? "What?"
" You're my employee and I care about you."
His heart skipped a beat when he saw the disappointment in her eyes. Hoping he knew what that meant, he quickly added, "Sam, to be honest, for some reason that protective instinct is very, very strong with you. I know you're my employee, but you feel like a friend, as well. All I know is that protectiveness kicks in big time with you." Again his heart skipped a beat when he saw the smile working at the corners of her gorgeous lips.
But he had to slow things down. Even if he felt something for this lovely little lady, she was his employee, so he probably shouldn 't be thinking of her that way at all. But then again, what would it really hurt? There'd only been a couple other times he'd felt this way about a woman and never anywhere near this quickly, so maybe he shouldn't rule anything out. Especially if she seemed interested, as well. But he was determined not to push anything.
He looked up and realized that while his mind had been wandering, she was deep in thought herself. He gave her all the time she wanted and eventually she asked, "So you're saying that if I want to work here I might be ––"
He smiled at her and said, "I'm saying that if you work for me, which I truly hope you do, anytime you break a rule you will be spanked. Now, if you watch your language and sarcasm and follow all my rules, you'll have nothing to worry about."
She was the cutest thing he 'd ever seen when her face started to blush again.
" However, if you still have a bit of that spoiled little brat inside you, you just need to know what will happen and be willing to accept it."
She thought a bit, looking at him the whole time. "What do you mean, be willing to accept it? Because if you mean you expect me to lay there over your lap and let you turn my butt into an inferno without moving or trying to stop it, I can tell you right now, that won't happen." Her face turned red again, but bless her brave little heart, she looked straight into his eyes as she said, "That really hurt. Worse than anything I can remember ever hurting before. And if you're saying you expect me to lie there and take it, I can't. I have to yell and I have to try to avoid it, get away from it."
His heart was pounding in his chest. She was so cute, red face and all, standing up to him like that. And she didn 't seem to be objecting to the basic concept. "Darlin', you can yell and wriggle all you want.
