10. Luke

"Good girl."

He was still upset with her and knew she needed to learn a lesson, but he was beyond proud of her for accepting her actions and the consequences that would come from it.

Melissa never would have agreed that she needed to be punished. There were times she wouldn't talk to him for days after a discipline session. He always felt she was trying to punish him for disciplining her, even though they had agreed on the rules and consequences when they entered their relationship. Ally wasn't Melissa, though, not even close.

"Here's what is going to happen. You are going to go stand with your nose in that corner over there. While you stand in the corner and think about your actions this evening, I am going to go get a few items out of my bedroom. I also need to make a quick call to my deputies to let them know I am stuck here and that they will need to respond to any calls that happen this evening. When I return, I will get you out of the corner and you are going to go across my knee for a spanking."

He waited for her to argue with him but instead, she stared at her hands quietly. He continued.

"Your spankings will always be on your bare bottom."

Her eyes shot up to him.

"What? No way!"

Luke raised his eyebrow.

"Your spankings will be on the bare bottom," he repeated firmly.

Ally's eyes filled with tears again, tugging at his heartstrings. Pushing away the urge to pick her up and hold her, Luke knew he had a job to do whether it was easy or not.

"I will only use my hand this time, but if you do something to put your safety in jeopardy again, you'll feel my wooden hairbrush on your bottom. Once the spanking is done, you will go back to stand in the corner. Once I call you out of the corner, all will be forgiven and I will cuddle you for as long as you need."

Luke wasn't sure if she had ever experienced anything like this. He guessed from her reaction that she hadn't, and he hoped by explaining what would happen step by step, it would help her feel less anxious about it. However, he knew from the look on her face that she was already anxious.

Her pained eyes stared at him before looking down to her lap and nodding silently.

He stood and pointed to the available corner in the living room. "Now, stand up and go put your nose in the corner over there. Hands down at your sides. Keep your nose pointed in."

She looked at him in desperation, as though begging him to change his mind. He wouldn't. He didn't change his mind on situations like this. He was a Daddy, and he would do whatever the hell it took to protect his Little girl. He realized she wasn't his Little girl, but he felt the responsibility to take care of her since no one else was.

"Right now, little girl."

Ally stood from the couch and walked slowly towards the corner, looking back at him when she stood near the corner he had pointed to. He nodded his head in approval and felt a surge of pride when she tucked her nose into the corner as instructed.

Leaving her briefly in the corner alone, Luke went into his bedroom and made the call to one of his deputies to fill him in, asking that he pass the message along to the rest of his officers about the fallen tree. He didn't want to leave Ally alone in the corner for too long. He knew Littles would sometimes go down the wrong trail in their mind while in the corner and he needed to be there for her in case she got too upset or needed him for any reason.

When he returned, he was pleased to see she was still standing quietly in place. Sitting down on the couch, he watched her as she stood completely still in the corner. Her long hair, loose from her normal ponytail, looked like silk cascading down to the middle of her back.

He didn't know when or how, but he had started caring for Ally and it scared the shit out of him. He knew deep down she was nothing like Melissa. But what he didn't know was if she would want to live the lifestyle that he needed as part of a relationship.

He couldn't have a vanilla relationship. He needed to dominate and protect. He needed to call the shots and he wanted someone he could take care of in every possible, intimate way. He needed a Little who would accept the terms of being his baby girl and not just because she had an ulterior motive, but because that's what would make her happy, too.

Luke didn't know if Ally would be able to accept all that and actually want it as a part of her life. He did know that he couldn't continue living his life in bitter anger over the past. Melissa was out of his life for good and now there was a special Little girl standing in the corner of his living room who had come into his life during some of his darkest days and made them much brighter.

"Come here, little girl."

He knew she was scared from the look on her face. Not scared of him necessarily, but of being disciplined, and he was almost positive this was the first discipline session she'd ever experienced as a grown woman. Luke knew he had been overly harsh with her earlier and didn't want her to feel as though his discipline only came from anger. He wanted her to know that it came from a deeper place within him that cared for her and her well-being.

Ally walked toward him, her eyes focused on the carpet. When she stopped in front of him, he was almost face to face with her, even though he was sitting on the couch and she was standing in front of him. He loved how small she was in comparison to him. He looked forward to holding her in his lap after her spanking was over.

Reaching out, he gently lifted her chin until her eyes met his. "Look at me, little girl."

Her bottom lip trembled slightly, and his heart squeezed.

"Tell me why you're being spanked."

She hesitated slightly, squirming like a naughty Little girl in trouble with her Daddy. She was definitely in trouble all right, and he would be Daddy all day long for her.

"Because I was unsafe today and drove out here in the snow, and because I didn't charge my phone or call the tire place like you told me to."

Nodding at her, Luke reached for the waist of her pants and began to unbutton the jeans. Ally let out a small whine of protest as tears began spilling from her already wet eyes. Ignoring it, Luke tugged her jeans down. Her light pink cotton panties with tiny hearts printed on them made him smile. Tucking his fingers into the waistband, he pulled her panties down to her knees, catching a glimpse of her soft bare mound, and felt his cock react. He pushed away the urge to touch her and continued pulling her pants down to her ankles.

"Step out of your shoes and pants."

Ally paused briefly before following his directions. He left her panties at the hollow of her knees and set her jeans on the couch beside him.

"Come here. Lay over my lap."

Awkwardly, Ally bent forward and laid over his lap as he told her, hands resting on the floor in front of her to support herself.

"Good girl. Thank you for obeying. This is going to hurt, Ally, and you are going to struggle through it. I'm going to hold you down to ensure that you don't get injured involuntarily. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Yes, Sir, is the correct answer in this instance."

"Yes, Sir," she whispered obediently.

Luke began spanking her bottom, ignoring the immediate yelps from Ally. Since it was a discipline spanking, her warmup was brief before he started landing the smacks firmly and quickly, not pausing between spanks.

Ally started squirming and fighting him instantly. Her hand shot back, trying to shield her flesh from his hand. Luke immediately caught her wrist and restrained it behind her back securely. Her cries were pleading, and he could hear her sniffles as she cried throughout.

He spanked her with intent, not allowing her tears to sway him from teaching her the lesson she obviously needed. He spanked her rapidly for several minutes with his hand, making sure to pepper her entire bottom, including the tender sit spots.

He stopped spanking her with his hand as quickly as he had started, and her body went limp as she sniffled and sobbed.

"I'm sorry! I won't do it again," she cried.

He knew by the time he was done that she was, in fact, a very sorry Little girl. Luke held her tightly in place, allowing her to cry for several minutes until she calmed down. When her sobs slowed, the only noises she made were small whimpers as she sniffed and hiccupped.

Rubbing her back softly, Luke cleared his throat, "Okay, baby girl, you need to go stand back in the corner for a few minutes. No touching your bottom. Hands at your side. I want you to think about what just happened and why it just happened."

As he helped her up from his lap, her sad wet face made him want to pull her back to sit on his lap so he could rock her, but he needed to see her punishment through completely before comforting her. She needed to know he meant exactly what he said.

Ally walked gingerly to the corner, her bottom half completely naked and displaying her glowing bottom. She was careful to keep her hands at her sides as she walked. Once she stood in place in the corner, Luke sat back on the couch and watched her. She sniffled and whimpered quietly as she stood.

Her round bottom glowed bright red and he knew it must be on fire, but he also knew a hot bottom was beneficial for naughty Little girls who needed to learn a lesson.

Luke waited anxiously as he made her stand in the corner for five minutes. He wanted to hold her and reassure her that she did well and that he was no longer upset with her. He needed to hold her, not just to comfort her, but so she could soothe his fears that bubbled up to the surface earlier in the day as he watched her pull up his driveway.

"Come here, sweet girl."
