"Yep. Unclench your ass cheeks."
"But then it will hurt worse!"
"That's the point."
She didn't respond immediately so he delivered several harder swats to get her attention. It worked.
"Ooooo... that's too hard!"
"I'll back it down when you've unclenched and start accepting your punishment. Not a minute before."
It took her a half dozen more full force swats before she released the tension in her body, going limp like a wet noodle in his arms. Her gorgeous pink ass now jiggled under the flattening strikes with the wooden hairbrush. Her squeaks were now low groans mixed with increasing tears.
"Very good, Traci. Now talk to me. Tell me why you are being paddled this morning?"
Between her crying sobs, Traci answered in stops and starts. "Because I... put myself down... and didn't take care of... myself like you... want me to. I'm so... sooorrrryyy." Her final word was timed with an especially hard volley to her sit spots. Back and forth Sean branded her with the hairbrush until she lay limp in her submission, taking her punishment like a very good girl. Despite the pain he knew she was feeling, he was perfectly aware of her arousal wafting up around them. It made him feel less guilty for the growing erection that strained his pants.
Sean was surprised at how easily he had fallen into his new role. He'd been so worried he would balk at the first sign of her distress.
Traci continued to whimper for several minutes after he put the hairbrush aside. His caresses of her ass quickly turned from comforting to urgent as she spread her legs wider and ground her clit against his jeans. He chuckled at her resourcefulness. He pulled her to sit on his lap, which left her pants and panties to fall down her legs to the floor.
Sean comforted Traci as she snuggled against him, loving the intimacy they shared after their personal display of submission and dominance. He was unprepared for the intense feeling of satisfaction coursing through his veins after taking a woman in hand for the first time in his life. New emotions had him wanting to pound on his chest before claiming her as his with a deep thrust of his cock.
Unable to deny their pleasure a moment longer, Sean lunged forward with Traci in his arms. He wasted no time by relocating, but opted for the soft carpet. Traci was laid out before him as a look of wanton desire swept across her gorgeous face. She watched with wide eyes as he stood to throw off his clothes, and grabbed a condom from his jeans pocket. Their eyes locked as he slipped the protection into place. He waited for Traci to drop her gaze to his impressive tool. She licked her lips nervously as she took in his girth as he knelt between her legs, reaching to swipe his fingers through her folds to ensure she was ready for him.
He'd longed to be inside her again for weeks and he couldn't wait any longer. Lining up his cock, Sean ground forward in one long stroke, impaling Traci before leaning down to capture her lips in an urgent kiss. His tongue claimed her mouth as his cock possessed her dripping core, fusing them together. He knew he'd missed her, yet he wasn't prepared for the emotional upheaval their intimacy introduced. Pushing his emotions aside, he focused on making sure he satisfied her. They could make love later. Right now, he needed to reclaim her as his.
Their bodies slapped together in a frantic dance of tender and rough—fast and slow. He trapped her body against the carpeted floor, his thrusts hard enough to begin scooting them along the floor. "Damn, I'm not going to last long. I've missed you so much, Traci."
Through her lingering tears, he watched her answer him by crashing into her own orgasm. The contractions of her snug sheath brought him closer to his own release. Kneeling up to change their angle, he pulled Traci's hips up off the floor and kept her quivering body flush with his as he renewed his fast pounding. Determined to extend her pleasure into a second orgasm, Sean reached to stroke her, his wiggling thumb pressing her swollen nub in a circle as his cock now touched new spots deep inside her.
He loved her look of surprised ecstasy as his thrusts took on the speed of a piston. This drew out a wailing cry from Traci as she exploded into her biggest orgasm yet as he released spurts of hot cum into the condom – the only thin barrier to their complete intimacy. Only after his heartbeat had returning to a normal pace did Sean lean down to kiss Traci's trembling lips.
"Wow. Sean, that was... "
"Amazing? Hot? Addicting?"
"All of the above."
"I predict it's going to be a very good weekend."
Chapter Eight
The weekend was flying by too fast. As Traci lay in Sean's arms Sunday morning, she had her first quiet moment to take stock of the amazing last twenty-four hours. Relief at finding out the feelings she had felt for Sean had been real in Chicago fought with panic at remembering he'd be leaving again the next day. She'd been attracted to Sean from the moment they'd met, but this newer version of him that was working so hard to convince her he was interested in a dominant/submissive relationship was irresistible. Traci only prayed she didn't get her heart crushed along the way.
Her phone on the nightstand dinged with an incoming text message as she replayed their time together in her head. She reached to silence it before the alert woke Sean. Traci groaned when she saw that it was Hallie reminding her that the 4th of July community picnic started in a few hours. With Sean here, she knew she'd much rather stay in bed all day. She was just about to text her regrets when he surprised her, reaching out to spoon her closer.
"Good morning, sunshine. I love waking up next to you. Who is texting you this early on a Sunday morning?"
"Morning. It's just Hallie, my sister-in-law. She's saying happy 4th. Today is the holiday."
"I almost forgot. What do you normally do today? Any traditions?"
"Not really. I try to spend it with Troy when I can, but we've missed a lot of holidays with him being in the Air Force for so many years."
"Well, I'd love to meet Troy and Hallie today. Should we invite them over here?"
Traci wasn't sure she wanted them to meet. That would make it even harder if—when— they broke up and Sean headed back to Chicago, never to return again. "They're going to another party so they can't make it."
