I found Rose in the woods. For the past 3 Tuesday nights, she had been disappearing. I knew something was up, but anytime I brought it up, she would change the subject or avoid it.
"Rose." I said.
She gasped and jumped, "D-Dimitri…" She whispered, taking a step back.
She turned to run, and I was more confused than before, but I wasn't about to let her get away. I wrapped my arm around her waist, and lifted her from the ground. I had just disabled her best asset, speed. I pulled her close to me, until her back was pressed to my chest. We were still within the wards of the court, but she had been he ading out, and I needed to know why.
I leaned down until my lips were close to her ear,
"Where are you going, Rose?"
She stayed silent.
"Rose." I warned her.
She closed her eyes and refused to speak.
I sighed, "Are you going to run from me?"
I figured she wouldn't answer, and I was right.
"Alright." I said, I put her feet on the ground, but only for a second, I grabbed her hips, and spun her until she was facing me, then threw her over my shoulder.
"No!" She gasped, beginning to struggle, so I swatted her bottom,
"Ow!"
"I hate undermining your privacy Rose, but you have ten seconds to tell me what you've been doing out here, or I'm going to carry you back, and when we get to the room, I'm going to paddle your bottom."
I felt her tense, but she refused to speak, I had never done something like this to her before. Believe me, I had debated reining her in many times by warming her bottom with my hand, but I could never bring myself to do it. But, a part of my whispered now that Rose was in danger, and I needed to do something.
"Alright, we'll do this the hard way." I said.
I was hoping that along the way she would give in, but she refused. I sighed, when we got to the room, I dead bolted the lock and put the chain in, causing it to be more difficult for her to escape.
I sat her on her feet, and I could see the anxiety in her eyes as she squirmed in place standing in front of me.
"What have you been doing out there, Rose?" I asked her, she looked down at the floor, and I put my fingers under her chin, tilting her beautiful face up until she was looking me in the eyes,
"You best answer me Rose, you won't like the consequences. It will hurt."
She flinched, and reached back covering her bottom with her hands,
"You can't do this…" She whispered.
I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment, before turning her, she kept her hands over her bottom, I pointed to the bed,
"Walk." I ordered.
I could see tears threatening to well in her eyes, as she stood beside me, as I set two pillows at the side of the bed.
"Believe me Rose, I do not want to do this, but something tells me you're in danger. And, I won't just stand back and do nothing. Tell me what it is, and we won't have to do this."
"I can't." She whispered, looking at me, and she actually had a defiant look in her eyes.
I had spanked her before, back when she had relieved the information to Mason on where the strigoi had been. She had been beating the hell out of herself with her guilt, and I had spanked her to take that away. Then, again when she had lied to me about seeing the ghosts. Once more in the cabin to pull he rout of her spirit induced mind.
So, she had had a taste of what was about to happen. Only this time, it would be different, because I had already seen her without her clothing, so there was nothing holding me back with this, and I wouldn't be using my hand, because I had confronted her on this before, and she had skirted around it.
I took her arm gently in my hand,
"Alright." I said quietly, I bent her over the pillows, positioning her so that her elbows were resting on the other side, leaving her bottom vulnerable, she squirmed and I understood why, it was against all guardian training to be in such a vulnerable position and I was sure her nerves were getting to her. But, this was far from over. I went to the bathroom and grabbed her hairbrush, when she turned and saw me with the brush in my hand, she stood,
"Don't." I ordered gently but sternly.
"Dimitri…" She protested quietly.
"Hush." I said gently, She leaned her head down, resting it on the mattress on the other side of the pillows. I moved behind her and rubbed her lower back gently with my hand, before reaching around her and undoing her pants. I had told her before I had spanked her the first time, that I would never spank her over her pants.
I pulled back and pushed her shirt up, and hooked my fingers on her pants and panties, she have a small squeak of protest and reached back for her panties as I pulled them down.
"Keep you hands in front of you Roza." I said sternly.
Small sobs shook her body.
"I know." I whispered gently, I moved to the side, and picked the brush up, I wrapped my left arm around her waist, and propped her up more, exposing the sensitive under curve of her bottom. She cried silently into the comforter.
"Roza, I will spank you for the next 5 minutes if needed, but if at any time you decide to confess to what's been happening, I'll stop. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." She whispered.
I sighed sadly, this was going to hurt me just as much as her, I pressed the back of the brush to her bottom in warning to let her know we were about to begin, I pulled back and began to spank her.
I didn't hold much back as I brought the brush down on her now rosy cheeks, she was crying and begging e to stop by 3 minutes, by then I was focusing mostly on the sensitive spots where her thighs met her bottom.
"Oow! Please, Dimitri! It hurts!"
"It's meant to." I replied, quietly, I hated doing it by I increased the speed and force behind the swats, and she face small screams into the comforter.
"Ow! Okay, Okay! I'll tell you, just please stop!" She cried, I stopped mid swing, her bottom was bright red. She was crying and she fought to catch her breath.
"I've been summoning the ghosts." She whispered.
"What?" I asked mystified.
She stood slowly, and turned to face me, I took her wrists in my hands as she reached back to rub at her bottom,
"No." I said.
She groaned, "I can summon the ghosts, I just have to leave the wards.
I remembered the last time she'd summoned ghosts, she had nearly died.
"If I hadn't already tanned your bottom, I'd be spanking you again." I said dangerously, she swallowed nervously. I went over to my dresser and grabbed one of my shirts, before coming back and undressing her and pulling it on her, so she would be more comfortable.
I pulled it up in the back though and inspected the damage I had inflicted on her bottom, she would definitely be sore for the next few days.
I picked her up bridal style,
"I love you." I whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." She whispered back, "Even though my ass is on fire."
