smacks came in fast succession, and Anna jumped each time his hand landed. “I will not show disrespect again!”
“ No, you will not.” The man took pause in his task. “Are you going to do what I tell you now?”
Anna sniffled but said nothing. She was not going to cry. His smacks were not painful, and true to his word, he had not harmed her, but she was still not feeling very cooperative. She wanted to know what his purpose was !
The man began to spank again and to Anna’s dismay he had increased the speed. Anna kicked her legs out as the smacks hit one cheek and then the other. His spanks were getting harder.
“ I will not backtalk you, Sir, please!”
He paused again. “Are you telling me the truth this time?”
Anna sighed. She did not want him to continue to spank her; that was certain, but the feeling of being over his lap and being held was enough to keep her quiet. She felt him move then and immediately began to regret her lack of a response. “Sir-”
She had no time to finish as his belt, as his earlier promises warned, was now biting into the soft flesh of her bottom. She felt it smack the tops of her thighs and began to cry out. The belt continued to rain down on her buttocks until Anna screamed, “Please! Please!” She yelled over and over until finally she heard the belt land on the ground.
“ Are you going to listen to me now?” She felt his hand still resting on the small of her back.
Anna was crying, and deeply embarrassed. “Ye-yes, Sir,” she half-mumbled. The tears were pouring down her cheeks, and she made no attempt to wipe them. The man immediately fixed her dress and righted her position. Anna sniffed and kept her head down. She did not want to look at him.
The man put his hand under her chin and gently tilted it upwards, until she was looking up at his face. “You are going to learn how to respect me.”
“ Why do you care about my actions?” Anna took several deep breaths. What he did not know was she had barely cried since that awful night when the men had hurt her. She had simply let the hurt and the pain build up inside of her. It was the first time that she had cried in years. Anna finally brushed at her cheeks.
“ I want to know why you sit here with the body of a woman and the mentality of a child.” He also wiped the tears from her eyes further adding to her confusion.
Anna frowned. “I do not know if I can share that with you, Sir.” His actions were a mystery to her; how could he discipline her in such a fashion and sit so gently here and now? Is that how a man should treat a woman? Anna leaned her head on his shoulder. She did it without thinking, and immediately raised it.
He touched the top of her head so that she leaned back down.
“ It has been a long day for you.”
They sat there in silence for several moments, while he made small circles on her back. Anna took a few deep breaths as her tears subsided. The man moved her slowly back to the ground and tied her up again. He took care with her arms and even laid a blanket on top of her. She watched as he tugged on the ropes and then moved back to his spot. Anna sighed as she carefully moved her legs. She turned her head and watched as he pulled a flask from his coat.
“I am cold.” Though he had started a fire she felt raw from the tears and the embarrassment. Her bottom was still burning badly, but it did not help the rest of her body. Why had he taken her over his lap so easily? She pushed the thoughts away as he was looking at her.
”May I please have a sip, Sir?” Anna flexed her toes.
The man sat up and brought the flask to her lips. “Take a small sip. It is strong.”
Anna felt it bite the back of her throat and welcomed the flush it sent through her body. She blinked up at him
