start doing as you're told?" Jake asked, still holding his calm demeanor. He gave her six more to the top of her thighs.
"Yes sir," she whimpered softly.
"Good girl," he said, rubbing her back again. He leaned over and put his mouth close to her ear. "Almost done, ok? Only six more. I'm so proud of you," he said softly.
Lilly could only nod. Jake gave her the last six only making them half as hard as the rest. When he finished, he tossed the hairbrush aside and rubbed Lilly's back until her sobs quieted. He helped her up, pulling up her panties and shorts.
"I'm so sorry, Jake. Please forgive me," she begged, tears still streaming down her face.
Jake pulled her onto his lap and held her, kissing her face and head. "I already forgave you, darling."
"You did?" she asked in disbelief. "I don't want you to hate me."
"Of course I did," he consoled, hugging her tighter. "And I could never hate you," he added. He rocked her on his lap as she calmed down. "I tried to explain to you beforehand. I will only spank you because I care. I can tell that you were never given consequences for your actions until now. I wanted you to see that I care enough to take care of you and discipline you when you need it. I just want you to think twice before you put yourself in harm."
Lilly wiped her face and looked up at him. "I will. I promise I won't do it again."
Jake continued rocking her. It felt so good to hold her in his arms, knowing she was ok and safe with him. He knew then that he wasn't going to let her leave. He wanted a family with her. He looked down at her head resting on his chest. She looked so calm and peaceful.
"Sweetie, how about we get you a bath and then we can go downstairs and watch a movie?" he asked, nudging her head.
"A bath?"
"Yeah, it will help you calm down," he replied, lifting her up in his arms and carrying her to the bathroom. He sat her on the counter and turned on the water, testing it until it was warm. Pouring some bath soap inside, he swished it around until the water filled with soapy suds. He turned back around to see a reluctant look on her face. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she shied, looking at the floor.
He put his finger under his chin and lifted her face to look at him. "Lilly," he warned with a joking tone. "Don't lie to me."
"I'm just nervous," she replied honestly. "I think I like you too much."
Jake chuckled and smiled at her. "Well the feeling is mutual, little one." He slid his hands until the hem of her tank top and pulled it up. She raised her arms as he lifted it over her head. He helped her up, sliding her shorts down her legs. In one swooping motion, he had her cradled in his arms again. Turning to place her in the tub, he lowered her until her bottom hit the water. She clenched onto his neck as she felt the hot water touch her sore behind.
"Owww. I changed my mind. I don't want a bath," she said, grabbing tighter around his neck.
Jake laughed. "That's too bad. You practically begged for that spanking and now you have to deal with it," he said lowering her completely into the water as she cringed.
Lilly slowly became accommodated to the water. Jake grabbed a sponge and washed her with such gentleness she would have figured him a different person from the guy fifteen minutes earlier. Once he was finished, he pulled her up and wrapped her in a large towel, lifting her out of the tub. She had never had anyone take care of her in this way. She relished how she felt at that moment. Even though she could still feel the fading burning in her behind, she had never felt more loved and cherished.
"Stay there. I'll be right back," Jake said, tapping her nose.
Lilly cuddled the soft towel around her and waited. Jake reentered with what looked like one of his t-shirts and a pair of her panties. He pulled the towel off of her and motioned for her to lift her arms. He slid his shirt over her head. She pulled the panties on as he towel-dried her hair.
"Are you sure you don't have to go back
