She closed her eyes, waiting for the first stinging swat. When it came, she couldn t help jumping. It hurt more than she remembered. Ow! she said, wiggling on his lap. You spank so hard, Bear. I spank hard because you ve got a hard head. I have to pound your bottom to make an impression at the other end. SMACK! Emily sucked in air, only to exhale with a moan. Bear picked up the tempo, slapping each cheek several times in a row before changing to the other one. After a dozen swats, tears filled Emily s eyes. Her bottom burned, but she was grateful for the emotional release the spanking provided, grateful for the love and care she felt emanating from Bear. Still, by the time he d finished, she d taken twenty hard licks, and was scissoring her legs and sobbing. Bear, stop, please! she cried. 49 All right, I guess that ll do. Be good tonight because I m itching to use my belt on you. He laid one final, thundering wallop on the center of her sit spot. Emily wailed, Bearrr! Owww! He lifted her, hugging her close while she pressed her sore bottom against his lap, and kissed her. Now that I ve warmed your bottom, time to warm our insides with the toddies. Emily pulled up her clothing, taking care not to rub any of the wool against her stinging cheeks. She wiped tears from her face and smiled simultaneously. Having Bear back in her bed, having him discipline her, was the way her life should be. Though she still ached inside for her late husband, she knew Jack would understand that life goes on. She also imagined that he would approve of her choice of partners. Bear pulled two chairs together near one of the wood stoves. Em, can I ask you something? Sure. She placed one of her bed pillows on the chair s seat before sitting, exhaling with a smile. That pillow helps a lot. And if I were any sort of disciplinarian, I d not allow that pillow, he smiled. But I m feeling generous. What did you want to ask me? Her curiosity was getting the better of her. Why won t you fly? She sat back as if he d slapped her face, but it was only memories of the burning crash that hurt her. Any other question, she choked out. Anything but that. Bear shook his head. We broke up for nearly two months because of my job, which is to fly stuff around. I don t want to break up again. I need to know why, Em. What happened? Or have you always been afraid to fly? 50 She swallowed hard before speaking. My late husband died while piloting his single-engine plane. I witnessed the crash. I haven t flown anywhere, for anything, since that day. She felt her eyes fill. I loved him so much, Bear, she sobbed. And he didn t die because he was foolish or a bad pilot. It was wind shear wind shear on a perfectly sunny day. I Howling now, she hid her face with her hands and cried so hard it made her stomach hurt. Bear gathered her in his arms, shushing her, stroking her hair. She wept as she hadn t wept in two years. He was so special, Bear, she wailed. He spanked me hard and loved me hard. We were planning a family when he She began sobbing again, unable to speak. Oh, Em, Bear murmured, hugging her tightly. I never suspected the reason. I m so sorry to have made you tell me. I feel like I hurt you. I never want to hurt you, ever. She wept on his chest until she felt cried out, and he never stopped hugging her, not for one moment. When she finally raised her head to look at him, the caring in his gaze was almost more than she could stand. I m not sure I could live through losing another love to a plane crash, she whispered. I realize it s your livelihood, and I ve no right to ask you to give up something you re passionate about. Just please, please promise me you won t take any stupid risks. If you go that way, and it wasn t your fault, it would be easier on me after, you know. I never take stupid risks. Ever, he said. Promise me. Promise me that you won t, ever. He kissed the top of her head. I promise. And you can take that promise to the bank. I never, ever go back on my word. I know, Bear, she said. I know. Thank you. Her face drenched with tears, her mouth sought his. They kissed wildly, desperately, both needing 51 the comfort of making love. Their passion arose from emotional and not sexual need, and as he peeled her clothing off, she began to weep once more, this time with gratitude that she d found this man, that she d found love twice in a lifetime. When he entered her, he said, I love you, Em. His confession restarted her grateful tears. I love you, Bear. 52 Chapter Five Bear did his best to sneak out early without disturbing Emily, who was curled up under several comforters. He did stoke the fire before he left, however he wanted the place to be warm when she finally awoke. He looked back before leaving, and smiled. Somehow, they d come together the way he d hoped they would. And she d not said a word when he told her he had a full day of flying on [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
