“There. That was a good warm-up. The purpose of a warm-up is to get the blood circulating, get the adrenaline going, and help the spankee to relax, all things that will help them be able to take a longer spanking, and prevent serious bruising. Now it’s time for her hairbrush. Normally you should have Jade fetch it for you before the spanking begins, but this scenario is a little out of the norm, so I forgot to tell you that. I’ll grab it.”

She heard Baze’s custom-made Italian loafers click against the hardwood floor as he crossed to her dresser, retrieved the engraved hairbrush he’d given her, and passed it to Pastor Ryan before once again taking a seat on her bed.

“This is going to hurt, and she won’t like it,” Baze advised. “Jade usually takes her spankings well, but this is where I’d restrain her just in case. If she throws a hand back and gets in the way, you could hurt her fingers.”

Knowing what was coming, Jade reached behind her and placed her hands in the center of her back.

“Oh, she’s making it easy on you. You’ll want to take your free hand and hold both of hers in place. It might feel a little awkward at first, but you’ll get used to it.”

She’d been close to him this whole time of course, ass up over his knee, her stomach pressed against his thighs, but somehow when he grasped her hands at the wrists and held them in his, her skin seemed to sizzle with electricity.

Emotions bubbled out of nowhere and tears pricked her eyes. Great, she was already crying and he hadn’t even lifted the brush yet. She could usually manage to stay somewhat stoic during a spanking, but she knew that would be impossible this time. She was going to make a blubbering fool of herself.

“Okay, good. You might also want to put one of your legs over the top of hers and keep her from kicking or getting out of position or even squirming off your lap and onto the floor.”

“That happens?” Ryan sounded shocked.

Baze chuckled. “It definitely happens.”

Ryan shifted his weight and managed to effectively pin her in place. It didn’t matter. She would die before she would squirm. She just wanted to get it over with before she regretted her choice.

“Now, this is the point where some Daddies would lecture. Others, like myself, prefer to do it while they spank. Both ways are fine. The important thing is you don’t lecture after a punishment has been given. That can be damaging to a Little’s psyche. When a punishment is over, it’s over and the naughtiness is forgiven. That is when the aftercare happens.”

“Aftercare?” Ryan questioned.

Jade groaned.

Baze laughed. “I think your Little is getting tired of all the talking. One thing at a time. Honestly, you’ll probably find that aftercare comes naturally and you’ll know what to do. For most Doms, especially Daddies, it’s instinctual.”

Pastor Ryan didn’t say anything but Jade felt the air around her shift, and she braced herself.

“Jade,” Pastor Ryan lectured, “I’ve already told you how I felt about the music you were listening to and why. Now I’m going to spank you for breaking your rule about not listening to music with explicit lyrics and for the naughty words you said.”

“Okay, I mean… yes… um… Pastor Ryan… um… Sir.” She realized then that she didn’t know how she was supposed to address him. He might think he wanted to be her Daddy, and it might even feel like he was, but Daddy just didn’t feel right. Not until it was official.

Twisting as much as she could, she looked up at him over her shoulder. “I’m trying to be respectful, but I don’t know what to call you.”

“Sir is fine for now, but I do hope that eventually you’ll call me Daddy.”

Chapter Five

Ryan

As he spoke the words, he realized they were true. As awkward as this scenario was, it also felt right, and he found himself looking forward to a time when he would be the Daddy, taking care of his little girl, spanking her without supervision.

Even as he wished for that day, he was thankful for today, for Jade’s patience and Baze’s invaluable advice. He wouldn’t have been able to do this on his own. Not the first time. He still had so many questions and an underlying anxiety that he would do something wrong and actually hurt her.

Jade’s quiet voice brought him out of his thoughts and into the here and now. “Yes, Sir. I understand. I’m ready for my spanking now.”

He understood that as “would you just get on with it please” and happily obliged.

Lifting the brush into the air above her exposed bottom, he acclimated himself with its weight and the way it felt in his hand. He wanted to use enough force but not too much. She’d been very naughty and he wanted to get his point across, but he also didn’t want to be cruel.

“Smack!” He brought the brush down hard across the center of her left cheek.

“Owie.” She whimpered but did not move.

He repeated the action with the right cheek, watching her dark skin color lightly underneath the brush. A bloom of dark pink spread across her bottom and then vanished.
