there with tears filling her eyes.
"Lilly, I'm not going to take it easy on you this time. Do you understand how scared I was when Sylvia told me you weren't here? And you didn't leave a note for her," he said, his hands resting on her hips.
"Please don't spank me, Jake. I promise I won't do it again! I just thought I would be back before she got home."
"I understand that, but it doesn't change the fact that you left without telling anyone. And I told you I didn't want you running around after only recovering for one day. You didn't need to be running in the first place, did you?" Jake said, not waiting for an answer. "That means you disobeyed me twice - once for breaking a house rule and once for doing something when I specifically told you not to. Not to mention your disrespect downstairs with the magazine."
Lilly said nothing, only continued to cry as he spoke. He wiped away two tears with his thumbs and pulled her face to look at his. "I want you to know I'm punishing you because I care about you. I don't want you to get hurt. If this is how I've got to get you to start listening to me and obeying the rules, then this is what I'm going to do." Jake slipped his thumbs inside her running shorts to pull them down.
"No, please don't take them down," she cried, throwing her hands on top of his to prevent him from exposing her bare skin.
"What did I say would happen if you disrespected me again?" he asked. Jake looked at her surprised face and knew she remembered their conversation.
Lilly thought about what he said yesterday, and knew there was no way to get out of it. She stomped her foot and groaned loudly, not wanting the embarrassment of saying it out loud.
Jake tried not to smile at her reaction. Instead, he gave her a rough swat over her shorts. "Hey, none of that. Answer me. What did I tell you yesterday?"
"Why do I have to say it out loud?" she whined.
"Because I need you to understand that when I say I'm going to do something, I do it. I don't make promises I can't keep. Besides, I think a little humility will help you remember not to throw things next time."
"You said you were going to do pull my pants down," she grit out through her teeth, feeling completely humiliated as she stood in front of him, thankful that no one else was nearby.
This time he pushed her hands away from his and pulled her shorts down. She groaned again but didn't stop him. He pulled her over his left knee so that her upper body was resting on the bed. "Lilly, why are you being punished?" he asked, resting his hand across her bare behind.
Lilly didn't think it was possible to be any more embarrassed than she already was. She couldn't believe he was going to make her tell him. Didn't he already know? Why did he have to ask her, other than the sheer embarrassment of hearing her say it?
Two hard smacks interrupted Lilly's thoughts. She felt like she could already feel the red handprints forming on her pale skin. "Uhhh. Owwww," she mumbled.
"Lilly I asked you a question," Jake reminded her.
"Because I disobeyed you," Lilly grumbled.
"And?" Jake said, landing three more hard slaps on top of the two previous ones.
"Owww!" Lilly yelled, trying to catch her breath. She didn't think she was going to make it through this if he was going to spank that hard the entire time. "And I disrespected you," she answered, hoping that was all he wanted her to say.
"Right," was all he said and continued the barrage of spanks onto her behind without mercy. He continued down one cheek all the way to her mid-thigh and back up the other thigh, until every inch was bright red. Ignoring her wiggling and kicking, he placed his right leg over her calves and laid into her sit-spot.
"Please, Jake! Please stop!" she cried, barely able to speak. "I'm s-s-sorry!"
"You said you were sorry last night when I spanked you for disrespecting me. How do I know you're telling the truth?" he asked, pausing to hear an answer.
"Because I swear I'll never do it again!
