“Reckless. Wild.” Her body tightens up. “Scared but determined to find you, anyway.”

We can’t have her being scared. I squeeze one firm ass cheek, then the other, and my cock flexes beneath her. “Do you think you should have made a different decision?”

“You think I should wait until the term is over to spend time with you.”

“It would be safest, but I won’t tell you this was a mistake.” I rub her flesh. “But maybe you need a reminder that it’s good to be safe. Would you like a spanking? Because you were reckless instead of being safe, even though we both enjoyed it?”

She shrugs, indifferent teen attitude in full force. “I dunno.”

I give her a light swat, barely a taste. “Honesty, please.”

Her breath hitches, and she shifts in my lap. “I guess it sounds… interesting.”

This time, I bring the flat of my palm down hard on the fleshiest part of her right cheek, instantly turning it red.

“Ouch!”

I rub a gentle circle over what I can imagine is smarting flesh. My hand tingles a bit, too. “How does that make you feel?”

“Like a silly fool,” she mutters. She rocks her hips. “People like that?”

I grin. “I liked it.”

She groans and presses her hips in the air. “Do it again, then.”

“Not if you don’t want it.”

“I do.” She huffs a frustrated breath. “I need it.” Another pause, and then her voice goes silky and pleading. “Daddy.”

Fuck me.

I spank her again, softer this time, and she gasps. “Oh.”

“Maybe I need to remind you why you wanted this. Do you remember?”

“Yes. I should be safe and careful.”

I want to hear the name again. “Yes,Daddy. I should be safe and careful.”

She bobs her head. “Yes, Daddy.”

“If you don’t eat, you get cranky. If you get cranky, you’re more likely to talk back in class.”

“I don’t talk back in class!”

“Because I give you apples.”

She twists in my lap and glares at me. “Seriously?”

“It works.”

“But how—”

“I read your file, remember? And I’m good at reading between the lines. You aren’t the first kid—” I cut myself off. “You aren’t the first student to need that kind of care. But you are the first woman to make me want to be this explicit about it. And the only woman to be over my knee as we have this conversation, that’s for damn sure.”

“The apples aren’t for everyone?”

“Of course they are.”
