Simple Answer

part two

Maddie could not even begin to absorb all that had been laid before her. Then reality reared its ugly head and she remembered Nolan’s words from earlier that day…I was just thinking about how you are going to regret your actions when I pull you over my knee and spank your sexy ass until I can’t feel my hand… right now you are trying to weigh the likeliness of me following through with this in that beautiful little brain of yours… The sooner we meet with my folks, the sooner I will have all the time I need to show you how serious I am…

She looked over at Nolan as he drove. She looked at his muscular forearms and the hands that were twice the size of hers gripping the steering wheel. She thought that he was concentrating on the road and didn’t realize that he was looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

He could clearly read the emotion on her face, trepidation. She looked like she was going to bolt the next time the car came to a stop. He was wondering what had changed. Ever since he had returned from the bar with his father, she had been quiet and a little antsy. He caught the glances between his mother and father. He knew they were having an entire secret conversation with their eyes. He wished he could do that with Maddie right now.

He decided to break the silence. “So everything for the wedding is taken care of, huh?”

“Pretty much.”

“All I need to do is pick up my tux and show up?”

“Mom is picking up all of the tuxes on her way home from work the day of the rehearsal.”

“Ok, what do you need me to do Maddie?”

That was such a loaded question at the moment. She had no idea how to answer him. She stared out her window.

“I don’t know.” She whispered shakily.

Nolan pulled into her driveway and turned to her. She continued to stare, unmoving.

“What do you mean you don’t know?”

That’s when she turned to face him and he saw the welling tears begin to escape down her cheeks. He swiped away a tear with his thumb. He hated to see her upset, how on God’s green earth was he going to live with himself when those tears were brought on from the application of his hand to her delicate posterior. That’s when it dawned on him.

“Maddie, did you tell Mom that I promised to spank you tonight?”

She gasped and shook her head.

“No, but she did tell me about being a Daniels wife. No-no I am so confused. I thought you were playing. You can’t be serious about this. You can’t really want to spank me.”

“Want has nothing to do with it, my love. I need to. I need you to respect me and obey me. I need to keep you safe. I do not believe in divorce, Maddie. I know you don’t either. I don’t like fighting and arguing. I won’t live like that. This is non-negotiable, honey. You know I love you more than anything in this world. You know I would give up my last breath if only to give you one more. I need you to trust me on this. Can you do that?”

Maddie sat silently and listened to the information that her future husband, her protector, her heart, was so desperately trying to convey to her. His words almost sounded like a plea. Could she do this for him? The answer to that was simple; she would do anything for him. On that last thought, with tears still spilling from her eyes, she nodded timidly at him.

“I trust you with my life, No. This is still very confusing and I am kind of freaked out.”

Nolan felt a weight being lifted from his chest.

“You do not need to be afraid of me, Mads. I will never abuse your trust. After tonight, we will lay down some ground rules and you will know exactly what I expect and what you can expect. I have promised a spanking tonight and you will get it. You will always be able to count on my consistency, Maddie. So right now, you are going to walk into the house, find a corner and put your nose in it with your hands behind your back; I want you to think about everything I have said to you. I will be in in a minute.” He pulled her face to him and kissed her forehead.

Maddie pulled back, saw the seriousness in her fiancé’s eyes and decided to follow his instructions. She went inside. Leaving her shoes by the door she dropped her things on the table and found the nearest corner. It was between the entertainment center and the wall and she felt like if she got close enough she could hide. Hide? Seriously? This was pretty ridiculous. She had so many emotions playing in her mind that she didn’t even know how she was feeling anymore. She wanted to do what Nolan had asked of her. She wanted to have the kind of relationship that her in-laws had. Their love and devotion was apparent and if this is what it took, then this is what she had to do. Right? She was so frustrated with the emotional rollercoaster that she was on. She just wanted off.

She wanted to get into comfy clothes and curl up with her man and Bella… Bella! She would need to be let outside. Would Maddie get in trouble if she were caught moving from the corner? She was too afraid to test it. Just then she heard Nolan come up the porch steps. She could hear every move he made. It was like he was wearing a microphone that transmitted everything to speakers inside of her head. She wanted to ask him about Bella, but then she heard him walk to the kitchen and open the backslider. She sighed with relief. Her man would take care of everything. He knew what she needed. She had nothing to worry about. Her stance relaxed as she heard Nolan sit in one of her dining room chairs. 

“Come here, sweetheart.” He sounded so sad.

Maddie turned and saw the pain on his face. She slowly walked over to him and he grabbed both of her hands and held her between his spread knees, mirroring the actions that Nancy had described about her first encounter with Nick. This made Maddie smile a little.

Nolan was watching her closely. Did she just smile? He was dealing with some very difficult emotions and she was smiling at him?

“Something funny, little girl?”

Her eyes met his and she shook her head with small jerks.

“I was just thinking about something that your mother told me, and you let Bella out.”

“I let Bella out?”

“Yes, you took care of everything, I don’t have to worry. I can trust you to always take care of things.”

At that Nolan pulled Maddie close and hugged her fiercely.

“Those words mean more to me than anything you could ever imagine, sweetheart. Thank you.”

Maddie gripped tight silently willing Nolan to change his mind about the spanking.

Nolan stroked her back trying to strike up the nerve to put his precious fiancée over his knee. He let go of her and found himself gently pushing her away, so that he could see her tear streaked face. She could not bring herself to look at him. She was so embarrassed. Nolan cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.

“Here is what we are going to do. I am going to put you over my knee and deliver a firm spanking with my hand over your skirt, but Maddie you need to listen very carefully to what I am about to tell you. After we are married, any time that I need to deliver this kind of message to you, you will remove all of the clothing below your waist on your own.” Nolan watched this information sink in. “Not only will you be bare-bottomed, but if it is a serious offense, you will feel an implement of my choosing. Do you understand what I am telling you, little girl?”

Maddie nodded.

“This is too important for that. I need verbal acknowledgement on this, honey.”

“Yes, Sir.” Maddie whispered. Sir? Where had that come from? They both shared the same silent question. They both just wanted all of this to be over. The anticipation was excruciating.

Nolan ended the waiting by gently moving Maddie into place over one knee. He used his other leg to pin her legs between his so that she did not kick out and fall off of his lap. Having her there, over his lap, felt like the most natural thing in the world. After a deep breath he began applying… what had his father called it? Oh yes, “applying the board of education to the seat of understanding.” He hated that term growing up.

Maddie yelped from the first spank on. As the heat rose, she began to wiggle. She knew that there was no escape. Nolan was determined to get his point across and he was indeed doing so. After a full minute of relentless smacks, she really started to struggle.

“This spanking will not stop until you accept it, Maddie.”

“Accept it? What the HELL do you think I am doing here? Having me bent over your damn knee is not accepting it?”

Nolan put a little more muscle behind the next ten swats to compliment his next directive.

“You may not use foul language, it is beneath you and no wife of mine will go around with the mouth of a sailor. Would you like to spend your corner time with a bar of soap in your naughty mouth?”

“Nooooo Nolan, stop! I get it. I am sorry. I won’t do it again. I will do or not do whatever you want. Just please stop!”

Her pleading was getting to him and he could hear the hitch in her voice. This was not fun for him in the slightest. He hated it, as a matter of fact. Then, it happened. Maddie’s entire body went limp and she began to sob.

“I’m…so…sorry.” She cried.

Nolan gave her five more and stopped. He immediately lifted her from her position and pulled her against his chest to let her calm down before he talked to her.

Maddie could not believe what she was feeling, the guilt she had felt for making Nolan upset was gone. She felt safe, loved, and cherished. How could this be? She had just been thoroughly chastised and her bottom was burning! She suddenly felt very tired.

Nolan could feel her calm down enough to hear what he had to say. He stood her up and guided her eyes to his. They were red and puffy and her nose was running. She looked as bad as he felt. He grabbed a tissue and wiped her eyes and nose.

 “Ok, babe. After a spanking you will have some corner time to think. Then, we will chat about your thoughts and move on. Go now, please” He turned her body around and gave her a little nudge to get her feet moving in the right direction. Her hands instinctively moved to rub the sting, but he stopped her.

“If you rub any of that fire out, my love, I will be forced to reignite it for you.”

Maddie snatched her hands and clasped them in front of her body. When she reached the corner she pressed her forehead against the cool wall. She could not hear Nolan moving around at all. Was he just watching her? She shifted from foot to foot, feeling that uneasiness slipping back in. Was this what it would always be like? Feeling like a naughty child with a spanked bottom and her nose in the corner? And what had he mentioned about soap? Maddie sighed heavily.

Nolan was watching the whole show. He could tell exactly what her thought process was by the shifting of her body and the tensing of her muscles. He was going to let it all slide this time. She had taken her spanking and deserved to be forgiven. This was new territory for them and he was going to tread lightly. He could not imagine her walking away from him. He could not imagine a life without his little love.

Sighing himself, he called her back to him. She turned around and went, diligently studying the carpet under her feet, deciding it needed to be shampooed. When she reached him, he cupped her face with both hands bringing her eyes back to his.

“I know you are confused and angry and you probably have no idea how to put it in words. I want you to know that it is over, I am here and I love you.”

Maddie had no words. He was right. She was confused and angry, but there was so much more. She didn’t even know where to begin. She didn’t want to say anything to make him angry; she didn’t think she could handle one more swat on her tender backside.

“I don’t know what I am allowed to say.” She boldly stated.

His eyebrows rose and she could see confusion written all over it. “What you are allowed to say? You can say whatever you need to say. As long as we speak respectfully to each other there will not be a problem. I want to know how you are feeling, what you are thinking. I need to know. Communication is key in any relationship, but especially in a domestic discipline situation.”

“Ok.” She still could not put anything into words.

“Ok? That’s all you have got for me? You have never had a problem confiding in me before.” Nolan was beginning to get upset again.

“I never had the threat of being spanked hanging over my head before.” She mumbled.

“Alright, that’s not going to work, honey. I just told you that I would not spank you for talking to me.” His temper was slowly rising and he did not want to argue about this.

“How about if you sleep on it and we can get together tomorrow and then maybe you will be able to put some of your thoughts and feelings into words for me?”

“Ok.” She was so tired, she would have probably agreed to anything if he would just let her go to bed. She yawned and Nolan scooped her up to take her to bed. She laid her head against his shoulder and let him take care of her. This was one of the many things she loved about her man. He liked to pamper her. He liked to tuck her in and whisper “Sweet dreams” in her ear.

He took her into the bathroom; put her on her feet and left. He returned with her favorite fluffy pajama pants and one of the many t-shirts that she had confiscated from him. He left the clothes to let her get ready for bed. She brushed her teeth and changed, but her fluffy pants felt like sandpaper against her scorched skin. She decided to just wear the shirt, which reached to her knees anyway. She walked out of the bathroom and headed straight toward her bed. He had the blanket and sheet turned down and she scooted in on her belly. He gently covered her, deciding not to comment about the pants, kissed her temple and whispered, “Sweet dreams, baby. I love you.”

“I love you too, No-no.” She sighed.

Nolan shut off her bedside lamp and got ready to head home. He could not wait until he could simply crawl into bed with her every night and wake up next to her every morning. He made sure that the house was locked tight for the night and went to his car.

Maddie heard the front door close and remembered that Bella was still outside. Just as she was about to get up to let in the old mutt, she felt the foot of the bed dip. Bella was there, making herself comfortable. Nolan had once again thought of all of her needs before leaving her. She reached back and touched her bottom. It was still pretty sore and she could feel warmth radiating from it. Was this the price she had to pay for the perfect man? Was it worth it? The answer to that was simple. Yes.
