Grading Garnet: The Red Petticoat Saloon Page 14

  She was begging him to stop before the hand spanking ended, and then—through a veil of tears—she realized he was reaching for the paddle. She began to stomp her feet, knowing that begging him was useless, and that she’d undoubtedly end up doing that eventually anyway.

  She always did.

  The first swat had her lifting herself up onto her toes in hopes of alleviating the agony that unforgiving implement brought, but it didn’t help. Not on any of the strokes she received. And he was as unforgiving as the paddle itself, fiercely roasting her nates, watching them turn from a bright red to a deeper carmine as each swat descended on her flesh that was practically seared every time.

  Gloria managed to keep her hands on the chair through sheer strength of will, knowing she didn’t want him adding any more strokes with that awful thing if she could possibly prevent it.

  When he finally let up, she thought that it was over, but he simply changed his position, standing closer to her side and holding her opposite hip.

  “I’m going to give you twenty-five more, Gloria.”

  She wailed at that pronouncement of her fate, wondering if she could take them. “No, please! I’m sorry!”

  He continued as if she hadn’t even spoken. “And I’ll warn you, they’re going to be much worse than anything you’ve had before. In consideration of that, if you need to move or arch or kick your feet up or let go of the seat, you may. It’s not going to help, but you may.”

  “Please, Sir, no more!” she had to try again. His permission not to remain in place had her heart pounding and her bottom clenching.

  “And, what’s more, you’re going to count them for me, Gloria.”

  It was worse than she could ever have expected, and the fact that he made her responsible for the delivery of each swat was torturous, because she found out that stalling too long only made him paddle her until she said the next number—and not a single one of those extra swats counted towards her pronounced sentence.

  It was a lifetime before she was able to whisper, “Twenty-five.”

  And the last certainly wasn’t any easier to take than number one had been—quite the opposite.

  As soon as he’d finished, he ran a hand over her nates, causing her to hiss. “Now that is one very well blistered little bottom, very hot and a nice deep red.”

  She didn’t much care what color her ass was, all she knew was that it was burning as if she’d spent a half-hour sitting right upon the coals of a fire. He lifted her up and carried her to the bed, laying her carefully down beside him, on her side, holding her close in his arms.

  “Gloria, do you know why I spanked you this time? Or any of the other times I’ve disciplined you, maybe even that first time?”

  She was still blubbering loudly, but lifted her head from his tear wet chest to ask, “You want me to tell you everything I’ve been spanked for?”

  “No, honey, I want you to try to think why I’ve bothered to correct you.”

  “I-I don’t know, sir.”

  He held her chin in his fingers. “Because I love you. I think I loved you from the moment I saw you looking all wide eyed at what you were seeing through your window. If I didn’t feel anything for you, I wouldn’t take the time to make sure you were keeping yourself safe and following the rules you need to be happy.”

  As he spoke, he was divesting the both of them of their clothes, until they were gloriously naked with each other for the first time, really.

  She hadn’t said anything back to him about his declaration, so he went about it another route. “Little one, we might well have created a child between us when we came together that afternoon, so, I’m afraid that we have to get married.”

  Gloria squirmed in his arms, wiping her tears away and facing him, certain she hadn’t heard him right. “We have to what?”

  “We’re getting married.” There. He’d said it. She could hate him if she wanted to, but it was going to happen, whether she wanted it to or not. “Next weekend. I don’t know if you’re pregnant or not, but I won’t have our child born out of wedlock.”

  She didn’t know if she was, either, she was shocked to realize. She was always irregular, and then she’d gotten sick, which she knew from experience often threw things even further off.

  “Did you hear me, lovely?” Seth asked, pulling her over him, in consideration of her backside, and holding her over his already stiffly throbbing, leaking cock. “In a week, you are going to become my wife. For now, let’s see how well you can ride my cock.”

  Her face bloomed with color that rivaled that of her rear as she sank down onto him, her eyes already glazed over in desire and her pussy wetly easing his way. He showed her how to ride him, watching the ecstasy overtake her right in front of him, which only spurred his own desires on. He couldn’t resist reaching up to heft her breasts in his hands, marveling at them as he worried and pinched her nipples as she writhed and pressed them into his palms, startling him when she whispered, “Harder, please.”

  He chuckled, giving each of her nipples a pinch, causing her back to arch and her sex to clutch around his shaft.

  “Yes,” she gasped, then gave a soft giggle. “How am I doing in my lesson, sir?”

  “So far I believe you have earned a ‘B’, Miss Owens.”

  Her eyes met his and she shook her head, giving him a mock pout. “But, I want an ‘A’, Mr. McIntrye.” She smiled, lifting herself again only to slowly move down, taking an inch of him at a time.

  When he could tell that she was close, she managed to surprise him again by moving his hands from her hips to her tight, hot bottom.

  On a guttural groan, he asked, “What do you want me to do, little miss?”

  “S-pank me, please. I-I’m… oh, please!”

  He sat up and put one arm around her slender waist, taking complete control of their rhythm, slowing it down so he could watch her come, denying her her release by that means, as well as with judiciously timed slaps that took her ecstasy down a peg or two, always driving it back to near peak within a minute or two with his lips or his tongue on her nipples, or his finger between her legs.

  Only when he was as close as she was, and he didn’t think she would be able to stand another round, did he begin to slam himself into her at a vicious pace while he smacked her behind as hard as he could.

  The reward for his efforts was more than worth it. She screamed his name uncontrollably as her body clamped onto his, sending him skyward, also, as he leaned forward to bury his face between her breasts and spend himself within her, his fingers still not allowing her to come down from the heights of paradise until she had given him another two tremendous peaks. As she collapsed onto his chest, her pants wafting across his nipples, he cupped her buttocks and said, “I stand corrected, Miss Owens. You’ve definitely earned yourself an ‘A plus.’”

  She giggled as he gathered her to him, in the darkness under the covers, his thigh resting possessively between hers, she whispered, “Next week, huh?”

  He tensed a bit, although he tried not to, preparing for an argument.

  “Yes.”

  She wiggled a little restlessly, but he held her fast, not allowing her to move away from him. He wanted her to talk to him, and if he had to, he’d keep her there until she did.

  “What about my job?” She knew that most women who had taught school at one time stopped doing so once they got married.

  “Oh, I think you might have some kind of leverage you could use with at least one member of the board who might support the idea of you keeping your job.”

  That seemed to relax her, and he was glad of it. He knew her job was very important to her, and that was one of the things he liked best about her.

  “You’re sure we have to marry?”

  He chortled at that. “Yeah, pretty sure.”

  “Are you going to be the kind of husband who spanks his wife?”

  “Oh yeah. I have a feeling you’re going to be the kind of wife who needs it.”

  She pressed
her forehead to his chest. “Perhaps.”

  Another chuckle.

  “Seth?”

  “Yes, Gloria?”

  “If I were a gemstone, which one would you think I’d be?”

  Of any question she could have asked, he never in a million years would have guessed that one. “Why would you ask that, my love?”

  She wiggled a bit and then said, “I am completely naked, I just learned how to ride your… um, cock, and, well, we are in a bordello.”

  “That’s easy. Your gem name would be Garnet.”

  Her head lifted, her blue eyes wide as her brow furrowed. “Garnet? Why?”

  He grinned, his hands moving to grab hold of the cheeks he’d just roasted, giving them each a firm squeeze that had her gasping. “Because, my dear, your arse is exactly the deep red color of garnets.”

  He rolled them together, so that she was beneath him, slipping himself inside her before she could even begin to react and beginning to make love to her again.

  She smiled, her hand lifting to rake through his hair. “Seth?”

  “Hmm?” he asked, his words muffled as he was presently nibbling on a nipple.

  “Do you really love me?”

  He lifted his head. “More than anything, or anyone in this entire world. I love you with all of my heart and soul.”

  He lowered his mouth to her other nipple, suckling and nibbling as she squirmed beneath him, licking his way from one to the other.

  “Seth?”

  “Yes?”

  She paused, as did he, although it killed him to remain still while buried within her. Then she whispered, as if she was afraid he’d be unhappy about what she was going to say, “Is it all right if I love you, too?”

  It was unusual to hear her being so diffident. She could be so brash and was always so confident and self-possessed. Her confession touched him just that much more so for its tentativeness.

  He reached up to frame her face with his hands. “Oh, honey, that is the most precious gift I have ever been given. It’s more than all right, my darling Garnet. It’s stupendous!”

  He began to move again, already addicted to watching her come into her own passion.

  Just as they were both nearing the edge, she whispered, “Seth?” as their tongues dueled furiously.

  “Yes, my love?”

  “I still don’t want to get married.”

  He wanted to laugh at her impudence, but he didn’t.

  Instead, he spent most of the rest of the night impressing on her the fact that, in this case, as in most cases throughout their lives together, she was simply going to be expected to obey him.

  Epilogue

  Most of the town turned out at their wedding. The gems were there, as well as Jewel and Gabe and Miss Nettie. Her pupils sat beside their parents as Gloria was escorted down the aisle by Doctor Norwood.

  There was only one glitch, which occurred when, in the course of repeating her vows, Gloria was expected to say that she vowed to obey him.

  And she hesitated at that point, which caused a bit of a titter to flow through the crowd.

  But Seth gave her a stern look, taking her chin in his hand.

  “Say it for me, wife,” he commanded, “for God and all of our friends to witness.”

  Blushing brightly, she did as she was told. “I vow to love, honor, and obey you, till death us do part.”

  Without waiting for Pastor Black’s permission, or even slipping his mother’s wedding ring onto her finger next to the garnet one he had made an engagement ring of, he picked her up in front of God and everyone and kissed the breath out of her, whispering when he drew back a bit, and loud enough for most of their friends and family to hear, “Damn right you will,” as he patted her behind through her wedding dress.

  Writing started as a way to explore her feelings. Soon short stories flowed from her pen featuring reluctant heroes taking the leading lady in hand, but always for her own good.

  Today Carolyn is the author of dozens of books. She writes from her home in Maine, where she lives with her husband and leading man.
