Chapter 15

Jesse

* * *

What was taking them so long?

Even though she was seated as close to the kitchen as physically possible, she couldn’t actually see anything. Or hear anything more than the low rumble of their voices.

Until Edie started to pace. That she could see, for a little while. But then her Daddy got up and something happened because now she couldn’t see either of them.

Dammit.

“I’m not your fucking sweetheart.”

Uh oh. Jesse winced in sympathy. If she cussed at her Daddy like that, she’d be tasting soap for a week.

But he’s not Edie’s Daddy.

Right. He wasn’t. And Jesse had never been one to share, especially where her Daddy was concerned. So what was that little hollow spot beneath her heart all about?

Stupid emotions.

She was just about to get up and march herself back into the kitchen to demand answers when her Daddy stepped into the entryway between the kitchen and the living room. All of a sudden, he was her entire focus, and her heart beat a little faster at the sight of his stern face.

Then he moved into the living room, and her attention shifted to the woman standing beside him, looking equally stern. As one, they crossed the room and took their places in front of the couch, both of them with their arms crossed over their chests. Despite the differences in their size, they were equally intimidating in their own way and her bottom clenched in anticipation of what was to come.

“Um. Hey, guys. How’s it going?”

Two singular eyebrows raised, and she shifted in her seat, her heart now beating so fast she was surprised it didn’t simply jump out of her chest and head for the nearest racetrack.

Her Daddy spoke first, and she knew just from the tone of his voice what their decision was. “You’ve been a very naughty girl, Jesse Lynne. Haven’t you?”

“Y-yes, Daddy.” Oh god, oh god, this is really happening.

“Edie and I had a long talk about your request. And we both agree she isn’t ready to punish you for the way you left. Yet.”

Tears pricked at her eyes, and she had to swallow hard a few times before she could get her response out. “Oh.”

“But…” Daddy glanced over at Edie, seemingly waiting for some kind of signal. After a long pause, she nodded, and he continued. “But we’ve come up with a bit of a compromise.”

“What kind of compromise?”

“I still owe you a punishment for that little disappearing act you pulled on me. If you agree, Edie is going to give you the warmup, and then you’ll be going over the arm of the couch for Daddy’s belt. Are you okay with that plan?”

Was she okay with it? It wasn’t what she’d asked for, and it wouldn’t give her the relief she wanted, but it was better than nothing.

Right?

“I’m okay with it.”

“Good. And are you comfortable with Edie spanking your bare bottom?”

Heat flashed through her, and she prayed they couldn’t see the evidence of her sudden arousal in her face. “Yes.”

“Then why don’t you go potty and we’ll get started. We’re going to be awhile.”

Humiliation added to the heat burning along her skin as she glared at him. “I don’t need to potty, Grant.”
