“You’re going to write ‘I will not put myself in danger again’ fifty times.”

Nodding, she sat down and looked at the paper. Daddy had written it down at the top and numbered all fifty lines.

“Write them legibly. If I can’t read them, you’ll have to do more.”

“O-okay.”

Rainey picked up the pen and started writing out the lines. By the tenth one, her hand started to ache, but she pushed through. She needed to feel the burn along with the ache from being spanked to get rid of the guilt she still had.

By the time she finished all fifty lines, her hand was cramping so badly, and she wanted to cry.

“D-Daddy?” She looked over to her right where Daddy was sitting.

He had sat there the whole time, typing on his phone and watching her.

“Yes, Little girl?”

“I’m done,” she softly spoke.

Daddy got up from his chair, making his way toward her. Picking up the paper, he started to examine it carefully. Nerves flittered in her stomach as she waited for him to tell her if she had to do any over again. Rainey made sure to take her time writing each word out. She didn’t want to have to redo any.

“They look all good. Such a good girl for taking your punishment so well. Daddy is proud of you.”

She smiled and relaxed into her chair.

“All is forgiven.”

Hearing those words after she finished the lines helped ease the rest of her guilt away. She had done her time for her crime, and it was over.

“Such a good girl. Do you want to go snuggle?”

Rainey nodded. “Please.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

RAINEY

Several days had passed since Rainey had talked with Deccan and gotten her punishment. Yesterday was the last day her bottom had hurt from the spanking and ginger. Daddy wasn’t playing around when it came to her safety, and she now knew that.

Would she do it again? Probably not. Not if that was the punishment or worse. But deep down, Rainey knew she would probably do it again if a situation like that came up. Hopefully, she wouldn’t be pregnant, so the punishment wouldn’t be as severe.

“Have you heard from him?” Daddy asked.

She shook her head. It made her anxious, waiting for Deccan to text them in the group chat. How long was she going to have to wait? He said a couple of days—it had been a couple of days.

“Maybe he decided he wasn’t going to deal with it anymore,” she whispered.

Daddy and Rainey were currentlysitting in her office. She had a full day of work, and Daddy was here to pick her up.

Most of the day she had been sitting, doing things that allowed her to. It was getting harder and harder for her to be on her feet as much. Her employees were happy to help her stay off her feet.

“I have a feeling he is still dealing with it.” Daddy kissed her forehead. “You just need to be patient.”

“But I’m worried. What if he decides that what I said doesn’t add up? What if he picks sides with Pete? Am I going to have to leave?”

Daddy wrapped his hand around her. “You won’t have to leave or be on the run. Deccan said you would stay here while he took care of it.”

“I know he said that, but what if he changed his mind and isn’t going to tell me?”
