Snuggled up in her boss' warm, strong arms, Jackie could almost forget how she got there. Almost, but not quite; her butt was on fire, and tingly with tiny shooting pains. Now she knew what it was like to be spanked. It was highly unpleasant. She didn't understand how Gabby took it. Of course, Gabby k new that Ace loved her and hoped to help her improve herself. That would make a huge difference. Plus, it hadn't escaped Jackie that there was something intimate about it. That was appealing all by itself.
Although love had not played a role in it, incentive to improve was the same motivation behind Dr. Kaminsky's spanking. Certainly, the reason was clear, but there was more to the spanking; it was significant in terms of her rap p ort with the young doctor. I f Pete Kaminsky hadn't wanted her around he wouldn't have done it. He'd have pointed to the door and told her not to let the screen door hit her ass on the way out. She wouldn't have blamed him. She'd really screwed up by being so late.
The thing was, it had never been a big deal before. She was not schedule-oriented. If she showed up a few minutes late for classes, she made up for it by studying harder. When she'd been late for her nursing practicums at the hospital, she always had a good excuse. It was true that by the end of the term the nursing supervisor who was in charge of the practicum had given her a lower grade because of the tardiness, but she'd still passed the class with a B. Her family had long since gotten used to her being late for everything and they made plans accordingly.
This time, however, she'd crossed a line. Real life, the working world, wasn't like school. If she was late, someone else was adversely affected. Pete Kaminsky had made that clear. Her aching butt was a testament to that.
Jackie vowed to herself that she'd try harder to get up on time. She was going to set her alarm clock earlier to allow for hitting the snooze button a few times.
She snuggled in deeper against Dr. Kaminsky—Pete. Her tears had turned into hiccoughs and sighs, and it seemed easier to control her racing emotions. Well, mostly. Pete Kaminsky was warm against her body, his arms sheltering, and the feeling of his chin resting on her head was comforting rather than a reminder of how petite she was. In fact, she was kind of glad to be petite for once.
He smelled good, too. Like coffee and spicy cologne and clean man-skin. Of course, she hadn't spent much time in a man's arms, but she knew that Pete's scent was uniquely his own. Jackie pressed her nose against his shirt a little more and felt his chest rising and falling steadily.
"Shh, now," he said softly as she shifted against him. He started to release her, but she let out a sob and burrowed , and his arms tightened around her again. Much better. This was the kind of comfort she could get used to. Even if it meant a spanking to bring it on.
Of course, he wouldn't go around hugging her all day. He was her boss. In fact, she knew she was breaking some kind of rule about fraternizing with her employer. Maybe that was a mistake.
The nursing job was important to her, and she wasn't going to mess it up. This medical practice was the only one this side of Sonora, and she didn't want to have to travel all the way to the city to work. Plus, it was a small practice working with patients whom she'd known all her life. She loved this area and its open vistas and snaky highways with the cattle just beyond the barbwire fences and alfalfa growing in patchwork fields . No, this was the job for her and she was going to deal with the inconveniences that entailed.
Pete smoothed her ponytail down her back, and Jackie sighed with pleasure.
There was a tap at the office door, and Pete pulled away abruptly. Jackie's first instinct was to follow him and snuggle up against him again, but the tapping was louder the second time.
"Dr. Kaminsky? Doctor?"
He cleared his throat. "Yes, Willa?"
