Irritable

by Joanne Locker

  "I'm not sure you're ready for a spanking, honey," Cleve answered her. "I wouldn't want to hurt you, and I know you're still sore from fighting off that bastard." She'd already told him that she'd fought hard in her office to get away and thought if she could get upstairs to her room she could lock the door and he would be held off until help could arrive.

  "I'm okay, Cleve. I need to have this over with so it's not hanging between us. I am ready for us to make love, but it just won't seem right until this is all settled. I shouldn't have acted like such a brat that night. I was foolish to unlock those doors, especially when you warned me that you felt I could be a target after what happened in the parking lot with my tire. I was irritable and bad tempered because our dinner was ruined..."

  "Which you had every right to be," Cleve said regretfully. "I felt like an ass when I saw the stove and saw your lovely dinner was ruined. I let my fear for your safety control my actions, and I should have waited until I was calmer... and definitely until after dinner. I'm sorry I ruined the meal you worked so hard to prepare, honey. Forgive me?" he asked.

  "Of course. How could I not when it turns out you were right?" she crossed her eyes. "I promise I won't ever ignore your instincts again, Cleve. Forgive me?"

  "I forgave you days ago, Pebbles," he said truthfully. "Eat your pizza now and I'll think about this. I'm not sure you're ready for a spanking... especially for the spanking you're going to get, young lady."

  Kelsey swallowed hard. She was so close to chickening out, and she had a feeling that if she said she was truly sorry and begged off the spanking, Cleve would let her off the hook completely. The problem was that she felt so guilty. Her darn temper was always getting her into trouble... And if ever she deserved a spanking, this was it... for sure. She tried to imagine what Steven would have said, but after ten years it was getting more difficult for her to feel like his wife. She was older now, and she should have learned not to do spiteful things. She wasn't going to beg off... not this time.

  Cleve could see that his lovely Pebbles was doing some serious thinking and it was plain to see that while she was dreading the punishment she also needed it in order to forgive herself. She wanted consequences that would leave her feeling that she'd atoned in some way for her foolishness in letting her temper control her actions. She needed for someone she loved, and who loved her in return, to punish her physically and give her to know her behavior was unacceptable because it nearly caused serious harm. Cleve might want to continue babying her and pampering her, but he needed to get past his own feelings over the situation and spank the woman he loved. Once it was all over, he could hold her and make it all better.

  They chatted about the news on television and enjoyed the veggie pizza. Cleve cleaned up the mess and then sat beside Pebbles for a while, giving their meal time to digest before he turned to her and asked, "Are you sure you are ready for this spanking, young lady? Once I start, I won't be stopping until you have one very sore backside. By leaving those doors unlocked you put your life in danger. I'm not happy... and this spanking is going to show you that I love you and won't tolerate your behaving with out and out defiance just because you're angry over something foolish that I did. Are you sure you're up to spending the next hour across my lap?" he demanded in a stern tone of voice.

  "An hour!" Kelsey's voice squeaked. "Oh Cleve!" She looked at him in dismay, but then nodded. "I want to have it done, please. Just remember that I am truly sorry and I've given you my word I won't ever leave a door unlocked again. I promise." Kelsey had to try to mitigate the punishment a bit.

  Cleve said, "I'm sure you won't." He patted his upper thigh. Take down your shorts and panties, honey, and lie across my lap. We'll take care of this spanking right here where you can stretch over the sofa and be comfortable while this is happening." When she giggled, he asked, "You think this is funny?"

  "It's funny that you want me to be comfortable while you are making one part of me hurt like crazy!" she nervously explained, removing her shorts and panties. She was left wearing a tee shirt over her bra. "This is so embarrassing, Cleve. It's one thing to be undressed to make love, but it's extremely embarrassing to remove clothing for a spanking."

  "It's part of the punishment, Pebbles. So is getting into position for a spanking on your own. It is difficult for you to do, but it signifies that you know you earned the punishment and you accept it. I treasure your acceptance, Pebbles."

  Kelsey nodded and even though it was extremely hard for her to do, she put herself over his lap, making sure her bottom was right where he wanted it.

  Cleve made her slide forward another few inches and then he said, "You are going to keep your hands in front of you while I spank you, Pebbles. You are not to reach back to try and protect yourself, and if you do you will get extras at the end of this spanking with my belt. I expect you to control yourself and your reactions. This spanking is going to be long and it won't stop until I am satisfied you will never do this again. Do you have any questions at all?"

  "No... But I don't want you to use your belt!" she exclaimed. "I don't think I could handle that, Cleve!" She remembered all of her Mama's horror stories from her childhood!

  "Then keep your hands where they are right now. Hold onto a pillow and don't reach back. It is completely up to you whether or not you earn licks with my belt."

  Kelsey learned that he was through talking. Cleve started spanking and it hurt, right from the very first spank on her delicate skin. She wanted to ask him not to spank so hard, but she was pretty darn sure it would only earn her harder spanks, or perhaps a lick from his belt, and she was going to avoid that at all costs. Over and over he deliberately spanked her rounded cheeks until she was a scalding red and then Cleve spanked her upper thighs until they matched. It hurt and she cried. Her sit spots were next, and it was nearly unbearable. She caught herself time and time again starting to reach back to protect her burning bottom but managed to stop just in time. She had no way of judging how long Cleve had spanked her, but she was positive it had been at least an hour based on the way her backside felt.

  "You are doing very well. We're about half done now," Cleve finally announced. "Are you learning your lesson, Pebbles?"

  "Yes! Oh, Cleve, please! No more, honey! I'm so sorry... and I hurt so much now. Please, let this be enough? Please..." she hated herself for begging. "I've tried so hard to stay in place, but I don't know how much longer I can do it. I feel like you lit a torch and held it to me!"

  Cleve was careful not to let her see him smile. Yes, her bottom was red, but it was the deliberateness of the spanking that was affecting her more than the actual swats. She had time to feel each one before the next one landed. He was careful to let her anticipate where the next spank would land and when it did, it burned because she'd already convinced herself that it would. "I'm only using my hand for this spanking, Pebbles. This is personal and my palm is burning as much as your pretty butt is. You think about what could have happened to you that night. You think about it and you stay in place and hold that bottom completely still so I can spank it over and over and over. You will never feel free to behave in this manner again," he promised, meaning every word.

  Somehow Kelsey managed to get through the spanking. It hurt beyond what she thought she could tolerate and sitting down over the next few days would be nearly impossible without a pillow to offer relief. She begged and pleaded for Cleve to stop the punishment, but he ignored those pleas in favor of spanking a bit harder and warning her to lie still. She had to put a lot of effort into maintaining the position and her fingers ached when he finally stopped the spanking from lacing them together and holding tight. Kelsey's tears of remorse were genuine, as were her tears of relief when he gently lifted her and held her on his lap to cry out all of her emotions. It was a horrible, horrible spanking, but she felt loved and cherished and protected when it was all over. It was cathartic, and her guilt was gone. She was well and truly punished and now she could forgive herself for being so foolish.

By requiring her to remain still, she didn't attempt to roll around and escape, or put up a fight like she normally did. It helped him keep from hurting her... other than the spanking, and he felt no guilt at all in making her butt sore. His hand was on fire, too, and it would remind him of how close he came to losing her... When he picked her up in his arms and carried her upstairs they both knew the time was right to make love.

  *****

  Due to their ages, Kelsey and Cleve decided not to postpone having children once they were married. Kelsey confided in Cleve and her doctor about losing her baby ten years earlier and her fears of miscarriage. The doctor ran some tests and told them that he was fairly certain the miscarriage was stress related and Cleve promised her that he would help her keep her stress under control.

  Kelsey knew exactly how he would do that, too, and wondered how a spanking helped her stay calm and in control of her emotions. Cleve certainly didn't permit her irritable moods to last long, even when they were building a new home to live in.

  When Pebbles came to him and finally admitted she was pregnant, Cleve let out a war hoop heard all over the station house and Kelsey had to laugh with joy. Of course, he quickly laid down the law with all sorts of rules for taking care of herself and their child and threatened all sorts of spankings for breaking them, which he knew he would never do right now. Kelsey simply put her arms around him and let him love her and promised he wouldn't be needing to spank her. She was no longer irritable all the time now that she was truly loved.

  (A few months later Cleve and Kelsey made a trip to the hospital together and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who appeared perfect in every way to his parents, and was a wonderful big brother to his three younger siblings.)
