He chuckled. "I'd say they're pretty astute as to what goes on with the four of you, yes. But, if we're talking about feelings, how about you tell me how you're feeling now? I know I wasn't easy on you." He studied her still tear-stained face closely.
"Sore. Really sore. I'm not going to be able to sit properly, I just know it!" She pouted, though he could tell that she was telling the truth. There was no way she'd be able to sit easily for at least a few days.
"Well, that was the intention, Elise. I want you to remember this, not just for any protests you may have about my need to keep you safe in the future, but also for any argument you may have about the same actions from your brothers. You should know that both Tom and Alex were seconds away from spanking you themselves after Meg's party, and Luke would have been the same, except that he wasn't there to see it."
"They wouldn't! Well, I know Alex threatened it, but he's known me longer. Tom and Luke just wouldn't!"
"Yes, they would, Elise. If, for any reason I'm not there, they would. I told them, before I even met you, that they should have put you over their knee long ago. But that's beside the point." He concealed a smile as she sucked in her breath at his words. "When I asked how you were feeling, I meant more than just your sore bottom."
"Oh!" She was quiet as she thought to herself. "I don't know how to describe it, Max..."
"Just try darling, we can talk about anything, remember?"
After a few minutes she said, "A bit embarrassed, I suppose. But less so than I'd have expected. I don't know... I just feel different from how it was when you spanked me before. The whole thing felt different. Before, I felt upset that I'd done something that could have ended up with one of us being hurt and I felt that somehow you spanking me made amends for that. Tonight's been different though. I feel more that it's made me feel more secure, safer perhaps. Is that silly?"
He felt love and relief wash over him in equal measure. "Not at all." He leaned down and kissed her. "That's how I wanted you to feel. That's how I always want you to feel." He kissed her again. "Now, though, I think you probably need to sleep." He sat up and gently removed her clothes that were still tangled around her before shedding his own and pulling the duvet around them.
"I thought I was getting 'slow and easy' tonight?" with a sleepy smile she quoted his earlier words back at him.
"Tomorrow, love. If you're feeling up to it, we've got all day." He smiled as she wrapped her arms round his neck and snuggled closer to him. "We don't fly to back to London for another two days, so we can take our time and do whatever you want."
"Mmm... Sounds good. You know," she looked up at him, "I might call home and just let them all know that we're fine and heading back to England on Monday. Maybe we could all have dinner together when we're back? I know you've met my brothers and Lily, but I can introduce you properly to Megan and Isabelle."
"I'd like that a lot, sweetheart. They'll probably be keen to hear about your plans with the new job, too."
"Mmm.... not just me on my own any more, I guess?"
"Absolutely not. It's me and you now, Elise, and the rest of your family, too. We're all involved and you're going to have to put up with all of us having an opinion on what you do from now on."
She smiled quietly to herself before putting her head back down on his shoulder and curling up to sleep. "Sounds good, Max. Sounds really good."
THE END.
Lauren Beaumont
Lauren Beaumont grew up in the rolling English countryside but now lives in the urban sprawl of London and loves every minutes of it. For many years she was footloose and fancy-free, travelling the world both for fun and as part of her day job. Now she lives with her husband, children and puppy and couldn’t be happier.
As a little girl she’d always wanted to write her own books but it was only many years later that she finally decided to put pen to paper. She hopes you’ve enjoyed the novellas she’s written so far and that you will keep reading!

The Bentley Sisters Novellas:
Megan's Story
Lily's Story
Isabelle's Story
Elise's Story
Megan's Story
Megan has it all. A great legal career, a fabulous apartment and boyfriends who have always been modern, metrosexual types who understand Megan's independent, self-sufficient ways.
Then she meets Luke Anderson. Self-assured and dominant, and with old-fashioned values, Luke represents everything Megan had told herself she didn't want in a man. But working together on a merger, Megan can't deny the attraction that develops between them, despite Luke's eagerness to apply a firm hand to her bottom whenever and wherever he thinks she needs it.
Megan has to battle her own insecurities and reconcile her intellectual resistance to his dominance with her emotional and physical needs. Can she find a way to accept Luke's loving discipline without compromising her independence?
Available at Amazon
Lily's Story
Lily left a private school to teach at an inner city high school, as she felt she could reach more children and make a greater impact on their lives. Two young boys, twins, seem to be teetering on the brink between right and wrong, as they try to break their ties with a local gang.
Tom is on the police force, but part of a special unit volunteering in the high school to try to create trust between law enforcement and the inner city youth. He is attracted to Lily from the start, but holds off, afraid to come on too strong. When she puts herself in danger trying to break up a street fight, he cannot be silent any longer. After ensuring that she is safe, he puts her over his knee for risking her life needlessly.
Lily respects the relationship her older sister Megan has with Luke, a dominant male who also believes in spanking. In fact, Luke and Tom seem to be cut from the same cloth. Yet, she hesitates to trust him, to give her life over to him, as she has always been independent. When another sister criticizes her for allowing Tom to make her decisions, she decides to make a stand... but did she make the right decision for her, after all?

Isabelle's Story
Isabelle was the party girl. Even her sisters worried about her. Whenever she had rough patch, she hit the bars and parties in a big way. Lately, though, she has seemed really down. She won't talk to anyone about what could be bothering her, but instead has withdrawn from everyone and everything. How could she explain to them what she didn't understand herself? For years she'd been comparing any boy she dated against Alex, the object of her teenaged fantasies, a man she'd had a crush on for years, but who had moved across an ocean. They still kept in touch through email, but lately, she was even pulling away from him.
And then, suddenly, there he was! She was supposed to meet her girlfriend Elena and her fiancé at a restaurant one night, but Alex - Elena's older brother - was there, too. He had returned from the United States and was now working at a hospital in London. Her heart wanted to believe that things could work out between them, but her brain knew that her feelings for him had all been one-sided. Or had they?
Alex had had feelings for Isabelle as far back as he could remember, but he knew he had to let her grow up. It had been painful moving so far away. He was back now, to see if their youthful attraction could mature into something more... but first, she was going to have to learn that he meant what he said, and would back up those words with a firm hand if she continued her reckless, self-destructive behavior!
