“That’s it. You’re doing so well,” Finn murmured quietly. “Good girl.”

Charlotte’s cheeks turned red when he called her a good girl. Not many people had told her that, and it made her feel all gooey inside when Finn said it.

“What happened?” he asked.

Charlotte looked down at her lap, feeling embarrassed. Would Finn make fun of her for never having a punishment before or feeling hurt that she thought he was going to give her back to Diana?

“Charlotte,” Finn’s voice warned her. “I need to know what happened so I can make it better.”

Her heart went all gooey with those words. He wanted to make it all better. Did he care that much for her?

“I’m embarrassed,” Charlotte whispered, not looking up at him.

Finn’s hand gripped her chin again and lifted her head up.

“Don’t be embarrassed. I won’t make fun of you,” he whispered back.

Charlotte blinked several times, trying to get rid of the tears that started to appear in her eyes.

“I’ve never been spanked before,” Charlotte mumbled, hoping Finn didn’t hear a word she said. “I was scared.”

“Little one, can you say that again?” he asked.

Charlotte shook her head.

“Little one, please.”

Tears sprung into her eyes, and she blinked several times but was unsuccessful when they spilled out of her eyes and down her cheeks.

“Oh, little one, it’s going to be okay,” Finn said as he wiped away the tears on her cheeks. “That’s it. It’s okay. Now, can you tell me what you said?”

Charlotte didn’t want to tell him, but she knew he wasn’t going to let it go until she did. She buried her head into Finn’s chest.

“I’ve never been spanked before,” Charlotte whispered, hiding her face in his chest. “I was scared.”

She wondered what he thought about that. Would he want nothing to do with her now since she had never been spanked before? Charlotte felt tears appear in her eyes again, ready to spill at any second.

“Little one, it’s okay to be scared the first time. It’s all new, but it’s going to be okay. I’m going to take care of you,” Finn said, running his hands up and down Charlotte’s back.

Charlotte shook her head, not liking it at all. She didn’t want to get spanked.

“You're not getting out of this,” Finn said, slightly pulling her back to look at her.

Charlotte whimpered, trying to get back to cover her face. She didn’t want him to see her tear-filled eyes again, and she certainly didn’t want to get spanked. Maybe if she kept crying, he wouldn’t spank her.

“I'm scared,” Charlotte finally said when she couldn’t get her face back into his chest. “It’s going to hurt.”

Charlotte felt Finn starting to move a little, and she looked up to see why. He was lightly laughing, which brought more tears to her eyes.

“Of course it’s going to hurt,” he chuckled. “It’s a punishment; it’s supposed to hurt. You’re supposed to learn from it. Once it’s done, all is forgiven, and we move on.”

Charlotte shook her head and tried to get out of his lap. He was not going to spank her. She wouldn’t allow it. Yes, she did disobey, but all she wanted to do was color him a picture. What was wrong with doing that?

“All I wanted to do was color you a picture.” She looked up at him innocently. “I was almost done, so I had to finish it.”

“Your friend Diana said it was time to go. She’s responsible for you tonight, which means she sets the rules, and you need to pay attention to them. You can’t just disobey because you want to color me a picture,” Finn said as he rubbed his thumb across Charlotte’s cheek. “And then you disobeyed me as well. Those two can’t go unpunished, which means you’re getting spanked.”

Charlotte thrashed around, trying to get out of his embrace. Finn quickly held her up and landed two swats to her butt. She yelled out, not expecting the two spankings she just got.
