of her bottom.
"OW! Oh My God! Where did you … OW! Find a …
OWWWWW! Paddle!?"
"No paddle, little girl. My hand is
well-weathered. I assure you I can go all night, too."
"Owieeeee!" Jade called out, squirming to
escape. He captured her scissoring legs between his knees and
easily leaned over her back, pinning her on her stomach. His hand
fell in earnest, the staccato smacking quickly turning her bottom
to a bright pink. She was panting by the time he reached fifty.
"Now, I will ask you again. How many spanks
do you deserve for your behavior?"
"Griffon! I swear, I will … OW! STOP!"
"Guess we will try another fifty," he said
calmly, as the rapid, firm swats painted her sit spots and the
backs of her upper thighs. She began to struggle wildly, begging
him to cease as she fought back pain-filled tears. He paused after
the second set of fifty and repeated his question.
"I don't know! I've never been spanked
before, except by you, so I don't know how to answer! Twenty
five!"
"Twenty-five? Seriously, Jade?"
"Fifty! One hundred! I don't know!!!"
"One hundred sounds reasonable. Get your
bottom in the air, and don't move, or we start all over again."
Jade fought to stay still, failing miserably
by the twentieth count. True to his word, Griffon began at one, his
strokes neither lessening in intensity nor slowing down. Jade began
to bawl as his hand brought her backside to an unbearable sting,
covering every fleshy square inch with a deep cerise glow. Her sobs
grew deeper as he tightened his arm around her waist, assuring her
inability to squirm away for the remainder of her punishment, as he
aimed for the tender crease of her thighs.
The final ten swats burned like wildfire.
Jade screamed her protest before slumping in defeat upon his hard,
muscular lap. She wept pitifully into her arms, only aware of the
scalded condition of her bottom. The touch of Griffon's hand upon
her back startled her.
"I really didn't like doing that," he said
quietly, gently stroking her spine. His voice was soft and held a
hint of sorrow. "I don't enjoy hurting people that I care
about."
"You care about me? Really?" Jade sniffed,
finding herself still pinned in place.
"Yeah, you have grown on me. Did you learn
anything?"
"Yes," Jade answered timidly. "You are a guy
who doesn't play games. I promise I won't challenge you again. Not
intentionally, anyway."
"I think it is in your nature to challenge.
Just like it is in my nature to discipline. Come here," Griffon
ordered, pulling her to sit upright. He wrapped his arms around her
weeping form and rocked her gently, smoothing her hair as he
absent-mindedly kissed the top of her head. "Do we have an
understanding?"
"Yes, Sir," she whimpered.
"For now on, you will mind me. If you do not,
you will be spanked. The severity will depend on how blatant your
disobedience is. Got it?"
"I don't really act like that on purpose,"
Jade said, in a tiny voice.
Griffon pressed her to his chest with a sigh,
"I know. You just don't think ahead because no one has taught you
how to consider the effects of your actions on others. I will be
teaching you that lesson every day if I have to until it becomes
second nature."
"I don't like being spanked."
"Then learn quickly, otherwise you are headed
for some very uncomfortable nights."
Jade sniffed, allowing her head to rest in
the crook of his arm. He smelled of seawater and smoke, and his
skin was warm and soft against her cheek. She felt a stir of desire
run through her body, confusing her.
"Griff?"
"What, baby?" his warm, gentle response
surprised her.
"I know this is a stupid question, but what
makes you hitting me any different than what Simon did?"
There was a pause as he nestled her closer.
"First, intent. I do not want to harm you for my own gratification.
I spanked you with a purpose and for a reason, not because I was
angry and wanted something that you refused to give me. That being
said, your obedience to my instructions are for your safety,
