Context - Lucia has been stealing without the permission of Thieves Guild for many years. Antonio - the head of the Thieves Guild is not amused by this, and Lucia's facing punishment. Read on...
“How many spanks, do you think?
You’ve been stealing for seven years. Ten for each year?”
I groaned again, and this time,
there was a trace of fear in my moan. Seventy hard spanks, and I wouldn’t be
able to sit down the next few days without discomfort. But I didn’t complain. I
was in no position to complain, and besides, I wanted this too.
“Lucia. You can moan, you can cry
out, you can scream. But you must keep still, and you must keep your hands
where they are. Do you understand? If those hands move, we start again.” His
voice was very hard. I gulped and nodded.
Whack. His hand came down my left
buttock, hard. I whimpered as I felt the sting, but his hand calmly stroked the
sore spot, replacing the pain with a rush of pleasure.
Whack. Now on the right buttock,
just as hard. I squirmed a little as the pain flowed through me. Whack. Whack.
Two quick spanks, one on each buttock, targeting the same spots again. I
writhed in pain and moaned.
“Hush, Lucia,” he said, his voice
gentle. “Take your punishment bravely.”
“Yes, Antonio,” I said, through
clenched teeth, but there was compliance in my voice. I would be brave for him.
Blurb:
Two thieves. One painting. One very dangerous game.
