“Baby, are you sure? I was harder than I wanted to be. I lost control,” Caine asked with worry in his voice.
I looked at him and simply smiled. It had to be obvious by my facial expression how happy and content I was.
Caine brushed some of the loose hair away from my face. “You are everything.” He paused, and then kissed me on the forehead. “You are mine.”
I simply nodded in response.
“How about a bubble bath?” Caine asked.
“Only if you take one with me,” I replied.
“Anything you ask.” Caine suddenly grew serious. “There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you. I promise you I’ll always be there for you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Neely,” Caine declared.
“I want that too. But first I want a bubble bath!” I laughed and made my way to the bathroom. I looked over my shoulder and asked, “Are you coming?”
Chapter Fourteen
“For the millionth time, you look beautiful,” Caine affirmed as he walked up behind me staring at myself in the mirror. He wrapped his arms around me and stared at my reflection in the mirror. “Neely, there is nothing to worry about. My friends are going to love you. Plus, we’re going to Coley’s house so you should feel comfortable.”
“Thank you, Caine. I’m just nervous, I guess,” I said with a weak smile.
I grabbed my ivory hairbrush and began to brush my long wavy hair again. I wavered between what to wear to Matt’s party. I ended up deciding on a simple black dress with an exposed back. The dress cut right above my ass, accentuating a part of my body I knew most of Caine’s friends admired but also spanked when needed. I hadn’t been this nervous to meet anyone. I just really wanted them to like me. I wanted them to think I was the right woman for Caine.
Caine grabbed the hairbrush and put it down on the vanity. “Unless you want me to use this hairbrush on your backside, let’s get going,” Caine warned with a warm smile.
I didn’t even question he would put me over his knee and paddle me. Since the first spanking, Caine wouldn't hesitate to give me a quick warning swat or spanking me when he felt it was needed. Mostly they were small spankings for minor infractions, but Caine felt they were necessary for setting the ground work for our relationship. Only once had he spanked me with a paddle for swearing. I had had a rough day at work and was cussing as I explained my day to Caine. He had given me a warning look when I swore, but I chose to ignore his look and continued on. Caine had swiftly grabbed me by the arm and introduced my butt to the paddle. After a very painful session over Caine’s knee, I knew exactly where swearing would land me in the future. I also knew the paddle was an implement I wanted to avoid at all cost. Even though I didn’t exactly wish to be spanked, I didn’t not wish it either. I loved the afterglow I felt, the loving touch from Caine, and the feeling of being cherished.
I stood up and wrapped my arms around Caine. I took in the smell of aftershave mixed with pine and always a bit of smoke. I wondered if I would ever tire of this man. I always felt like a horny teenager around him.
“No thank you. I’m ready. You look extremely sexy,” I purred.
Caine was wearing faded jeans and a black tee shirt. His hair had a disheveled look which drove me absolutely crazy. I pressed my lips to his, taking his breath in past my lips. I moved my tongue leisurely with his. I moaned as I felt myself melt against his broad chest.
Caine pulled me closer and cupped my ass with both his hands. “You wouldn’t be stalling, would you?” Caine asked between kisses.
“All right, let’s go,” I said as I slightly bit Caine’s lower lip.
Caine growled, “Woman, you are going to drive me crazy!” He plunged his tongue into my mouth and with his hands, he slowly raised my dress revealing my black lace thong panties. “Take these off,” Caine ordered as he lowered them down my thighs. “I don’t want you to wear them all night. I want it to remind you of who you belong to, and who you are coming home with, and to remind you of what we will do when we do get home.”
I stepped out of my panties without protest. I knew Caine well enough that arguing would have been futile. And besides, I liked the idea of sharing this seductive secret with Caine. Especially, since everyone at the party already knew about the Domestic Discipline lifestyle we lived.
“Neely, I want you to watch how much you drink tonight. I don’t mind you drinking, but I don’t want a repeat of your last ‘Girls Night Out’, all right?” He softly commanded in a way only Caine could do. It was never mean or controlling. It was simply concern and protectiveness. I loved how he doted on me, and how he was extremely aware of my well-being.
“I promise, Caine,” I said sweetly and kissed him softly.
“I worry when you get around Kendall. She drinks and parties entirely too much, and she has a way of pulling you girls into her web. I like the girl, but she really needs some control in her life,” Caine said between kisses.
“Maybe Matt can get her in line. It seems like the two of them have some chemistry. Plus, she is all in for a little spanking to help the cause,” I stated as I continued to seductively kiss Caine.
Caine pulled away in shock. “What? What do you mean she is up for some spanking? And how does Matt play a part in this?” Caine asked in confusion.
I shrugged. “We were talking about spanking on our night out, and she was really excited about finding a strong man to spank her. As for Matt, well I just…”
Caine quickly interrupted. “What do you mean you were talking about spanking?” He asked with irritation. I tried to keep kissing him but he pulled away. Obviously he was not happy that spanking was brought up in idle gossip.
“I, I mean we…well I told them I heard you spank Sara. It’s just they were asking for juicy details about hearing you and Sara have sex, and well, I just spilled everything I had heard that night.” I paused to see Caine glaring at me with fury in his eyes. I quickly tried to recover. “Don’t be mad. I was drunk, and I didn’t think it through. I’m sorry.”
“So you’re telling me you discussed my private life with your girlfriends and with my sister! You talked about something that is very important to me as some kind of joke! Explain to me, why I shouldn’t be mad. Explain to me why I shouldn’t be furious that you all sat around discussing an intimate moment behind closed doors to your friends!” Caine shouted.
“No, Caine, it wasn’t like that. I wasn’t making a joke about spanking. I was telling them it turned me on. Then Coley had to defend spanking to Rebecca, and Kendall was just being… well, she was just being Kendall.” I paused to try to regain my composure. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have violated your privacy,” I said as I tried to kiss him again.
He moved away, grabbed my arm and began to raise my dress to spank me. He had anger all over his face. I prepared myself for a spanking, but he quickly released my arm and walked to the other side of the room. I was instantly disappointed. I wanted the spanking. I would much rather prefer a spanking over having to continue this fight.
“I won’t spank you in anger,” he said with rage in his voice.
“Caine, will you please let me try to explain?” I begged, fighting back the tears.
“This isn’t some sexual kink I take lightly. Even if it was, the fact that I wasn’t important enough to you to keep my private life private, shows me you don’t take my lifestyle seriously,” Caine yelled at a volume I’m sure the neighbors could hear.
“That’s not fair Caine! I know it isn’t a sexual kink, and I do take our lifestyle seriously! This was before we were together, and before I knew anything about Domestic Discipline. You’re mad at me for something I did before we were together! I’m sorry I disrespected your privacy, but it was simply innocent gossip. I would never talk about it the same way today! I want this as much as you do!” I screamed right back. My voice began to quiver, and the tears came spilling out. I had never yelled at Caine before.
Caine’s face softened. He was silent for what felt like an eterni
ty before speaking. “You’re right. I shouldn’t be getting mad at you for something you did before we were a couple.” He walked over to me and embraced me in his arms. “Baby, stop crying. It kills me to see you cry. I love you.” Caine wiped at a tear as he held me tighter.
“I’m sorry, Caine,” I sniffled.
“I am too. I let my temper get the best of me.” He lifted my chin to stare in his eyes. “Forgive me?” Caine asked sheepishly.
I answered by kissing him. He kissed me back with passion. Pulling me tight against his chest he tangled his tongue with mine.
“God, I could kiss you all night,” Caine mumbled while continuing to kiss.
“Make love to me,” I moaned.
Caine slowly pulled away and took a deep breath. “My sister will kill us if we arrive late. As much as I want to sink my cock deep inside of you, I think we better wait till later.”
“I guess you’re right,” I whined. “You can spank me if you want,” I flirted.
Caine laughed. “What have I created?” He looked at me and suddenly grew serious. “I don’t want to fight like that again. Understood?”
I nodded in agreement.
“I’m not mad at you for telling your friends, but I’m still going to spank you for doing so. I’m also going to spank you for screaming at me.” He sat down on the vanity stool and reached for my hand to assist me to bend over his knee.
I had no problem doing so, since I really felt I deserved a spanking. It wasn’t a big deal, but I knew Caine had to spank me to stay consistent. He had to stand behind being the Head of Household, and allowing me to yell at him without consequences would have gone against everything.
“Since we’re in a rush, I’ll let you keep your dress on. But this one is going to be quick but hard.” He raised my dress to my waist exposing my bare bottom. Caine then reached for my hairbrush that he had threatened to use a short time before.
If I was honest with myself, I wanted the spanking. I didn’t enjoy the actual spanking, but I loved the submitting of my bare ass, and I enjoyed the feeling afterwards. The sense of closure, and the ability to end whatever disagreement we had. I really loved the balance that was created. I loved having a man. I would almost feel euphoric afterwards. I would feel so good; tolerating the actual pain was worth it.
The first spank with the hairbrush made me jump and cry out immediately. “Oww, that hurts!”
Caine continued the spanking with what I now considered a horrible spanking implement. The spanking was hurting from the very beginning.
“Please Caine, it hurts! I know what I did was wrong. Just stop,” I pleaded as I tried to block the spanking with my hand.
I pleaded for him to stop, but that wasn’t what I really wanted. If Caine had stopped, I knew I would lose respect for him. He would be giving me control, and I didn’t want the control. That was what I loved about Caine. He took the lead, and I wanted that in a man.
“Neely, stop trying to block or you’re going to get more swats,” Caine warned.
Caine continued to place one spank after the other. He continued until he had spanked me about thirty times before stopping. He stood me up and wrapped me in his arms. He didn’t bring me to tears, nor do I think that was his intention. Even though the hairbrush hurt like hell, it was a simpler spanking than some others. I could see my reflection in the mirror and I could see the hairbrush paddling had left my bottom a bright shade of pink. Caine lowered his hand to my ass and rubbed it along the sensitive flesh. He then lowered my dress and pulled away so he could look into my eyes.
“It’s over now,” he declared with a long kiss.
“I love you, Caine.”
“Even when I spank you?” He asked.
“Especially when you spank me,” I admitted.
He put out his arm for me to take. “Let’s get going so I can show you off to everyone as my woman!” Caine said with pride.
I wrapped my arm in his and said, “Let’s get going so I can show you off as my man!”
Chapter Fifteen
We walked into the party holding hands. It felt slightly odd to be arriving at a party, and walking into Coley’s house as a couple. I had obviously been to many parties and gatherings Caine was at but never as his girlfriend. Since this was a birthday party for Matt, there would be a lot of Caine and Matt’s friends in the room I didn’t know. And for some reason, knowing they too believed in spanking made me anxious. I was happy to see Coley walking towards us.
“Hey you two, I swear I’ll never get used to seeing the two of you as a duo,” Coley said as she gave me a hug.
“Hey sis, is Matt here yet?” Caine asked as he gave his sister a kiss on the cheek.
“No, not yet, but a lot of your friends are. Will you go make them feel comfortable, please? Offer them some drinks and stuff. I tried my best, but I still think they think of me as your kid sister,” Coley asked as she was starting to push him away.
Caine leaned in to give me a kiss. “I’ll be back in a minute, o.k.?”
I nodded and smiled. “I’ll be fine. Go make your friends feel welcomed.”
Coley put her arm around me and started to guide me to the kitchen. “Come on, let’s get you a drink!”
Coley had outdone herself with the party. The appetizers looked amazing, and she had a table of wines and champagnes. Light music was playing in the background setting a relaxed tone. The outdoor patio had white lights strung around the posts and the wooden awning. Flowers were in ceramic pots placed everywhere. Her entire house had a very worldly and bohemian feel.
Just as Coley and I were getting a glass of wine, Kendall and Rebecca came through the door. They instantly spotted us and rushed over.
Kendall was the first to talk. “Details, details Neely!”
“You’ve been holding back on us I see,” Rebecca said with a smirk.
I blushed, and wasn’t sure what to say. What could I tell my closest friends? I would be lying if I said it didn’t embarrass me to have to use the ‘S’ word around them. But I also was giddy over the fact that I was head over heels in love.
“Well…Caine and I are in love,” I answered.
Rebecca clapped her hands together over her heart and nearly squealed. “I am so happy for you two! It’s like a love story.”
Coley poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Rebecca and Kendall. She looked at me and smiled proudly. “I couldn’t be happier. Just think you may be my sister someday!” Coley exclaimed.
I scanned the crowd and made eye contact with Caine from across the crowded living room. He beamed proudly at me and then returned back to the conversation he was having. Seeing him from across the room and knowing he was mine made me happier than I could have imagined. He looked up from his conversation to look my way again. He studied me a moment assessing if I was all right and gave me a wink and a large smile. I was absolutely giddy.
I looked back at my friends. “I really hope so. I could marry him tonight! I swear I have never been so happy,” I gushed.
“Enough of the sappy shit, tell us the juicy, sexy stuff!” Kendall blurted as she emptied her first glass of wine and was pouring herself another.
Coley gasped and covered her ears with her hands. “Oh God no, this is my brother remember!”
I laughed before answering. “It’s perfect. He’s perfect. I couldn’t be happier,” I said sounding like a love-struck school girl.
Before Kendall could ask for more information, we were distracted by Matt entering the room. Everyone started to wish him happy birthday. He politely thanked people and eventually made his way to where we were all standing.
“Thanks Coley, for throwing this party for me. You really shouldn’t have,” Matt said sincerely.
Kendall moved closer to Matt. “Happy Birthday, Matt,” she said in a sweet, demure voice.
Her behavior was not lost on her friends. We knew Kendall well enough to see she had a huge crush on Matt. And from what I could tell, it seemed Matt did too.
&
nbsp; Matt nodded at Kendall. “Thanks.” He turned to me and said, “Congrats on hooking up with Caine. You two seem right for each other.”
I blushed at the compliment. “Thank you.” I wasn’t sure what else to say. I was glad I had at least one of Caine’s friends on my side.
Matt was quickly pulled away by other friends who all wanted his attention. As he was walking away, he turned his head and made eye contact with Kendall and smiled. All of us saw it, and we couldn’t help but tease Kendall. It was nice to have the conversation off me and Caine and onto a new budding love interest. I used this welcomed distraction to scan the room for Caine. As silly as it felt, I missed him. I didn’t see him over all the bodies so I decided to excuse myself from the group and made my way to another room to look for him.
I came around a corner and stopped when I heard Caine talking to one of his friends I didn’t know. I could tell the conversation was about me. I should have made my presence known, but once again my curiosity took over. I hid behind the wall and listened intently.
“You’re one lucky man, Caine. I think you’ve found yourself a keeper,” the unknown friend complimented. I was happy I seemed to have won over another friend.
“You don’t have to tell me. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have her in my life. She really is everything I’ve been looking for,” Caine boasted. His comment made me melt.
“So you’re not just a bitch, you’re a snooping bitch!” I jumped at the venomous voice that was behind me. I turned around to see Sara standing with her hands on her hips. She had rage in her eyes and looked like she was getting ready to pounce.
I had no idea Sara would be at the party. And even if I had, I wouldn’t think she would have such anger directed towards me. I didn’t break them up. I certainly didn’t get with Caine until after they were done. But clearly from the way Sara glared at me, she thought otherwise.
“Excuse me?” I asked.
“You heard me, you little tramp. You intended on being with Caine from the very beginning, didn’t you? You’re nothing but a slut,” Sara spat.
