Fine Things...a “Lizzie” story (F/f, M/F, M/f)

chapter two

(c) 2001 by Sampast

 

Author’s Note: I always have a hard time with two things: endings and titles.  In the past, I would bounce ideas off of Don Landhill, but since he doesn’t seem to be around any more, I can’t do that.  I’d like to dedicate this story to him, wherever he is.  I hope that wherever he is, he is okay, and that he’ll be able to find his way back soon.  Enjoy the story!  sam

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

True to his word, Dominic came around a lot.  He made sure there was healthy food in the house.  There were no more cookies or poptarts for breakfast.  The girls both went to bed at a reasonable hour, too.  Mel tried hard to get Lizzie to bed by 8:30.  More often than not, she didn’t make her 10:00 curfew though.  Melinda stayed off the phone and the computer after that hour, though, so she wasn’t caught.  Dom was pretty sure she wasn’t sticking to it, but he knew she would confess eventually.

 

Things were going fine.  Well, fine if you considered Lizzie being over Dom’s lap almost every day, fine.  It seemed no matter what she did, it was considered breaking a rule in his book.  And Lizzie tried very hard every time to get out of the spanking.

 

“Elizabeth, come here!” Dominic beckoned.

 

Lizzie hated it when he called her that.  She had finally gotten him to call her Lizzie.  But when she was in trouble, he seemed to retreat back to her full name.

 

“I’m busy!” she called.

 

Dominic was standing outside her room.  “Elizabeth, I can hear what you are doing from here.  Didn’t I tell you there would be no jumping on the bed?”

 

Lizzie opened her bedroom door.  “No, sir, you said not to jump on the couch.  You didn’t say nothing bout the bed,” she explained.

 

Dom sighed.  And so it went.  Things like that.  Lizzie would just find it impossible not to argue with Dominic.  That’s how she ended up staring at the carpet almost on a daily basis.

 

Melinda wasn’t over Dom’s lap nearly as much anymore.  Occasionally he had to remind her who was in charge in their relationship.  Sometimes she forgot her manners and said the wrong things.  But after a severe spanking in which Dom soaped her mouth first and then spanked her with a paddle, Melinda was doing much better.

 

Both girls knew that Dom would not stand for disrespect.  They were both learning the hard way.  Lizzie was a good girl for Melinda, most of the time.  But it was really just doing things she had always done that Mel didn’t mind, but Dom did, that got her in trouble.  And Melinda had never punished Lizzie for anything.

 

One night Dom took the girls out to a diner for dinner.  They both had had a good week and he thought he would treat them to a nice night out.  He had taken Lizzie aside outside the restaurant and warned her to be on her best behavior.

 

“I will not hesitate to take down your pants and spank you inside.  Do you understand me?” he had asked.

 

“Yes, sir,” she answered respectfully.  At home, she was getting used to the many spankings.  She had even had a few with her panties down.  But in a public place? Even Lizzie did not want that.

 

Lizzie ordered spaghetti off the children’s menu.  Melinda had ordered a chicken Caesar salad and Dom got a big beef cheeseburger.  Everything was fine until the check came.

 

Lizzie grabbed for it.  “I’ll get it,” she said.

 

Both adults looked at her.  “Excuse me?” Dom said, raising his eyebrows.  “And where are you going to get money from?”

 

Lizzie held up what looked like a credit card.  “I can use this,” she said, smiling.  “It’s a moneycard.”

 

Melinda was shocked.  “Lizzie, where did you get that?”

 

“Umm, from your purse, sis,” Lizzie said.  Melinda frowned.  “I wasn’t gonna keep it,” she said.

 

Mel held out her hand, palms up.  “Give it here, Lizzie.”

 

Lizzie was reluctant but one look from Dom and she gave the card over to her big sister.  “Awwww, okay!” the little girl said.

 

Melinda took the card and looked it over.  “You do not take things from my purse, Lizzie.  Do you understand me?”

 

Lizzie bit her lip and nodded.  “Yes, Lin, I promise I won’t do it again.”

 

Mel smiled.  “Okay, good.”

 

They paid for dinner and nothing more was said about the credit card.  When they got home, Melinda sent Lizzie to her room to get ready for bed.  An argument started in the living room.

 

“You’re not going to let her get away with that, are you?” Dom asked.  “I would spank her myself, but she really didn’t do anything to me.  But I don’t think you should let her walk all over you like that.”

 

“She’s not walking over me.  I told her not to touch my purse and she promised she wouldn’t,” Mel said defensively.

 

“Mel, come on!  You don’t think Lizzie didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to be in your purse?”

 

“Well, I, uh, I don’t know.  I would like to think she didn’t know better.  She’s only six.”

 

Dom shook his head.  “That little girl knows a LOT more than she lets on.  Mel, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had her own credit card account.”

 

“Oh please, Dom,” Mel said.

 

“Well, anyway, I don’t think you should let this go.  You need to learn to discipline her, Melinda.  You can’t leave everything up to me.  I’m not here 24/7 with her, like you are.”

 

“She and I get along fine.  I don’t need to punish her,” Mel said.  But then again she wasn’t so sure.  Things had been a lot different before Dominic came along.  Melinda found herself threatening for Dom to spank Lizzie when she misbehaved lately.  Lizzie knew Mel would never do anything, and maybe that was a problem.  “I’ll think about it,” she said finally.

 

“I think you need to do more than think,” he told her.  “Now’s your chance.”  Mel looked to see what Dom was pointing at.

 

Lizzie had come back into the living room, dressed only in her footy pajamas.  “I’s ready for bed,” she announced, smiling.

 

“We see that,” Dominic said.

 

Lizzie hung out by the doorway, waiting.  Both Melinda and Dominic looked at her.  “C-could s-someone t-tuck me in?” she asked.

 

It was only since Dom was around that Lizzie had started asking to be tucked in.  Before when it was just she and Lin, Lizzie had always gone to bed by herself.  Dominic loved tucking the little girl in.  It reminded him of when his niece had lived with him several years before.  She was all grown up now, but he talked about her to Lizzie a lot.  Her name was Debbie.

 

“I think your sister would like to talk to you, so I’ll just say good night here,” Dom said.

 

“Oh.”  Lizzie was a little disappointed.  She liked when Dom tucked her in.    He always hugged her tight and kissed her on the cheek.  He checked for monsters and made sure her covers were all tucked in around her.  She liked that.  “Okay,” she said, going over to him.

 

Dominic hugged her to him.  “Good night, Lizzie.  Sleep tight.”

 

Lizzie smiled and hugged Dominic hard.  “G’nite, sir,” she said.  She almost said ‘I love you’ but she was scared.  She didn’t know what he would say back.  She was afraid he wouldn’t say it, too.

 

Lizzie looked at Melinda and started for her room.  “You coming, Lin?”

 

“Yes, little sis, I’ll be right there.”

 

Once Lizzie was out of the room, Melinda turned to Dominic.  “I don’t know if I can do this,” she told him.

 

“Well, at least talk to her, and find out if she knew that what she was doing was wrong.  And Mel, let her know that you won’t hesitate to spank her.”

 

When Melinda balked, Dom nodded and pushed her towards the door.  “You have to.  Now go!” he said, giving her a solid smack to her rear end.  But Mel smiled.  She knew it was just a playful smack.

 

Lizzie was sitting up in bed when Melinda got there.  “Look, I’s already in bed,” she said.

 

“I see that.”  Melinda sat on the edge of Lizzie’s bed.  “We need to talk, little sis.”

 

Lizzie looked up at her big sister.  When Dominic said they needed to talk, she ended up staring at the carpet, and there was no talking going on.  Lizzie always wondered why he said that.  But she knew that wasn’t what her sister meant.  She waited for Melinda to speak.

 

When Melinda didn’t say anything, Lizzie said, “What did you wanna talk about, sis?”

 

“About you taking the card from my purse.  Remember?”

 

Lizzie shook her head.  “Yeah, but you only said after not to do it.  I didn’t know.”  The little girl bit her lip.  She was doing that lately, when she thought she was in trouble.

 

“Well, that’s what I wanted to talk about.”

 

“I’m sorry, Lin.  I won’t do it again!”

 

Mel looked at her little sister.  “You really didn’t know it was wrong, Lizzie?”

 

“Well, um, I didn’t think you’d mind.”

 

“I see,” Mel said.

 

Lizzie jumped.  She looked at her big sister.  “Don’t say thatttttttt!” she cried.  “Dominic always says that, and then it’s followed by a spanking!”

 

Mel smiled and reached down and hugged Lizzie.  She knew that Dominic was fond of saying “I see” when she was explaining her actions too.

 

Lizzie said, “You’re not going to spank me, are you?”  She really didn’t think her sister would do it, but she did hang around with Dom a lot.  She wasn’t sure.

 

Melinda did not want to spank Lizzie either.  She thought about her options.  “Well, if you didn't know it was wrong, then I’m not going to spank you...but if you did know it was wrong and did it anyway... well, that’s different.”

 

They both held their breaths.  Melinda was hoping and praying that Lizzie would say she had no idea.  Lizzie was hoping her sister would change what she just said.  Truthfully Lizzie wasn’t sure what had made her do it.  At the time, it had seemed like the thing to do.  Then again a lot of what she first thought were good ideas often backfired and she ended up in trouble.

 

Lizzie bit her lip again.  “I not sure.”

 

“Not sure?” Mel asked.

 

“I really didn’t think you’d mind, Lin.  We’ve always shared stuff before.  I didn’t really think about it.”

 

“Okay.  Then tell you what...you promise not to go in my purse again unless I say you can, and we will let it go.  All right?”

 

“It’s a deal,” Lizzie practically shouted.  She leapt from her bed into Mel’s arms and hugged her tight.  Mel held tight onto Lizzie.  She was so glad she wouldn’t have to discipline her sister.

 

“Good.  Now how ‘bout you get some sleep? It’s late and we had a busy day.”

 

Lizzie nodded.  Mel stood up and started to walk out.  “Wait, Lin!”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Will you check for monsters?”

 

“Sure,” Melinda said, smiling.  She checked under the bed, in the closet and even in Lizzie’s bathroom.  No monsters.  Lizzie thought Mel did a very thorough job.

 

“Monster-free, kiddo.”

 

“K, nite, Lin, I love you.”

 

“I love you, too.  Sweet dreams, Lizzie.”

 

Dominic sighed when he heard how the conversation went in Lizzie’s room.  He knew things would come to a halt at some point.  He thought Melinda should have shown Lizzie what could happen, but there wasn’t much he could do about it that night.  The two of them talked again and again about how Melinda needed to be a better disciplinarian when it came to Lizzie.  Melinda wasn’t so sure.

 

She would soon find out, though, that Dom was right.  It was a few weeks after the purse incident.  Melinda and Dom had had some friends over, and she was cleaning up after they left.  They had allowed Lizzie to stay up til 10:00.  She was being very well behaved and was in a good mood for most of the night.

 

“G’nite, Dom, sir,” Lizzie said, when he peeked into her room.  She was lying in bed reading a book, waiting for Melinda to come tuck her in.

 

“Nite, sweetie.  Sweet dreams.  I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”

 

Lizzie nodded.  She was feeling very nervous.  She couldn’t wait for him to leave.  Dom kissed Melinda goodbye too.  “Don’t stay up too much later, sweetheart.”

 

“I won’t, hon. See you tomorrow.”  They were having a special day the next day...just the three of them.

 

Mel loaded the last of the dishes into the dishwasher and headed for Lizzie’s room.  She peeked into the room and saw Lizzie lying in bed, the book now on the floor.

 

“It’s late, kiddo, you ready to go to sleep?”

 

Lizzie didn’t answer.  Mel went into her sister’s room and sat on the bed.  “What’s wrong, lil sis? You have something on your mind?”

 

Lizzie bit her lip.  “I did something, sis.”

 

“What?”

 

“I’m afraid to tell you.  You’re gonna be mad.”

 

“Well, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me, sweetie.”

 

“Well, member I promised you I wouldn’t go into your purse?”

 

Melinda nodded and then raised her eyebrow.

 

“I didn’t.”

 

“Well, that’s good.”  But when Lizzie wouldn’t elaborate, Mel said, “I think you better tell me, kiddo.”

 

“Well, I, uh, found Dominic’s moneycard on the floor in the living room.  I was gonna give it back to him when he came, but, uh, I, uh, didn’t.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“Well before your friends came over, I was watching TV and they was showing these new high speed scooters.  And a number flashed across the screen, right? And, well, next thing I knew I had called the number and gave them Dom’s moneycard number.”  Lizzie smiled a little.  “They said it would get here tomorrow.”

 

“Oh, Lizzie, you didn’t!” Mel cried.

 

Lizzie started to cry.  “I did, sis.  I’s sorry.”

 

Mel looked down at her little sister.  “Didn’t you know you weren’t supposed to use that card?”

 

“I guess so,” Lizzie admitted.  “But I couldn’t help it, Lin, the scooter looked so cool.”

 

Melinda sighed.  “When Dominic finds out, he’s gonna tan your bottom but good, lil sis.”

 

“You mean, he’ll know?” Lizzie asked, in alarm.  “I didn’t know he could find out.”

 

“Lizzie, he’ll get a bill for the scooter, even if I didn’t make you tell him what you did.  He has to pay for it, you know.  We can’t buy something as fine as a high speed scooter.  We don’t have that kind of money.”

 

“I didn’t know he would have to pay for it!” Lizzie whined.  Then she heard what her sister had said.  “I have to tell him?”

 

“Yes, you do.”  Melinda sighed.  She was thinking that Dominic was going to explode.  “What on earth were you thinking?  Did you save the phone number you called? Maybe I can head off the shipment and cancel the order.”

 

Lizzie was horrorstruck.  “NOOOOOO.  I WANT THAT SCOOTER!”

 

“No, Lizzie,” Mel said.

 

“BUT I WANNNNNNNNNT ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!”

 

“Lizzie, lower your voice!” Mel said sharply.

 

Lizzie nodded.  “I sorry.”  The room went silent.  “But I want it, Lin, please!”

 

“No, Lizzie, you will not get that scooter.  You did not ask if you could have it, and you used Dom’s credit card without permission,” she stated.

 

Lizzie started to whine.  “NO FAIR!!!!”

 

“No scooter, and stop whining!” Mel said.  This was very hard for her but she knew she had to be firm.  She wished Dom were there.  He would know how to handle Lizzie.

 

“Hmmmmph!” Lizzie shouted, throwing her teddy bear against the door of her room, making a loud thump.

 

Before she knew what she was doing, Melinda sprang into action.  She turned Lizzie a bit and smacked her bottom hard six times.  “You stop acting like that!”

 

Lizzie was shocked.  She truly did not think her sister would ever punish her like that.  She looked up at Melinda.  “Owwwww, Lin!”  Lizzie raised her hand and smacked her sister back.

 

It was Mel’s turn to be shocked. She raised her eyebrow and stared at her little sister.  Then she pulled Lizzie over her lap and raised her hand again.

 

{Smack! Smack! Smack!} “You don’t ever hit me, Lizzie.”  {Smack! Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack! Smack!}

 

“Owwwwwww!” Lizzie cried.  She kicked her feet and wiggled trying to get up.  Melinda clearly was not spanking as hard as Dominic did, but this was a different kind of hurt.  Lizzie couldn’t believe that her big sister was smacking her bottom.  “Lemme go!” she squealed.

 

{Smack! Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack! Smack!} “You don’t behave like that for me, do you understand?” Mel asked, applying a few more smacks to Lizzie’s bottom.

 

“Owwwwwwww!  I’s sorrrrrrrrrry!” she cried.

 

Melinda pulled Lizzie up onto her lap and held her tight.  She rocked her little sis and tried not to cry herself as she heard Lizzie sobbing.

 

Lizzie’s sobs subsided and she looked up at Melinda’s face.  She saw tears falling down her cheeks.  “Whatsamatta?” she asked.

 

Melinda took a deep breath and looked down at Lizzie.  “I didn’t like to have to spank you.  It hurt me to do it... but I can't let you talk to me that way or act that way with me.”

 

Lizzie cried even harder.  She leaned her head onto her big sister’s shoulder and sobbed.  “I sorry, Lin, really sorry.”

 

“It’s okay, sweetie, I know you are.  It’s over now.  I love you very much.”

 

“I love you, too, Lin.  And I won’t act that way again.”

 

Melinda nodded.  She got up, picked up Lizzie’s lil bear and tucked it in with her.  “Tomorrow when Dominic comes over, you’ll tell him what you did.”

 

“He’s gonna be ‘sappointed in me,” Lizzie said.  “He’s not gonna wanna hear my ‘scuses.”

 

“No, probably not.  But you’ll be punished and then everything will be forgiven again.  Dom loves you very much, Lizzie.”

 

“He does?” Lizzie asked.  She didn’t think he could possibly feel for her what she had started feeling for him.  He was the only daddy figure she had ever had.  And she loved it.

 

“Yes, he does.  Very much.  And yes, he’ll be disappointed in you, but you’ll work through it.  Stop thinking about it and go to sleep, little sis,” Melinda said, placing a kiss on Lizzie’s forehead.

 

Melinda turned out the light and walked out of the room.  She was still shaking.  Mel thought of calling Dom right away, but it was late, and she figured the only thing he would be concerned with was why she wasn’t in bed.  She tried to clean a few more things up, but was too nervous.  She went online and checked her email, but was afraid of being caught online this late.

 

Melinda didn’t know what to do.  She didn’t think she’d be able to sleep.  She tried never the less.  She just lay in her bed and closed her eyes.  But all she could think about was having spanked Lizzie.  She felt terrible.  She knew the little girl forgave her already but she still couldn’t shake the feeling of what she’d done.

 

Finally, not knowing what else to do, Melinda picked up the phone and nervously dialed Dom’s phone number.  She glanced at the clock.  It was close to midnight.

 

Dom picked up the phone on the third ring.  “Hello?”  When he realized it was Melinda he sprang up in his bed.  “Mel? What’s wrong? Are you all right? Is it Lizzie?”

 

Mel took a deep breath and cried, “Dom! I need you!  I need you to come over and hold me.”

 

“Baby, it’s the middle of the night.  What’s wrong?  Did you have a nightmare or something?”

 

Melinda started to sob.  She was afraid to say it, but she knew she had to.  “N-no, s-sir, I h-haven’t b-been t-to b-b-bed, y-yet.”

 

Dom distinctly turned and looked at the clock.  “What? It’s close to midnight, Melinda Sue.  What on earth have you been doing?”

 

“Dom, please, I need you!” Mel cried.

 

She heard his sigh.  “Melinda, if I come over there right now, the only thing I will be holding is your bottom.”

 

Melinda nodded.  But of course Dom couldn’t see that.  “Mel? Did you hear me?”

 

“Y-yes, sir.  P-please come.”

 

“Okay, I will be there in ten minutes,” Dom said.  They said good-bye and hung up.  Dom worriedly got dressed.  He couldn’t imagine what could be wrong with her if she actually didn’t mind that she would be getting a spanking in the middle of the night.  He hurriedly put on his jeans and sneakers, grabbed a sweatshirt, a light jacket, and grabbed his car keys.

 

Meanwhile, Melinda sat in the living room waiting.  When she heard his car drive up, she threw open the front door.  Dom looked her over.  There she stood in her white cotton nightie, her eyes red from crying.

 

Dom grabbed Mel and closed the door quickly but quietly.  He hugged her to him.  “What’s wrong, baby?” he asked in a sweet, quiet voice.

 

It was a full five minutes til Dom had Mel quiet and firmly held in his grasp that she was able to speak.  “I h-had t-to sp-spank her.  I had to spank Lizzie,” she said.

 

Dom pulled Melinda away from him and looked into her eyes.  “You spanked your sister?”

 

Mel nodded and told Dom only that Lizzie had gotten very uppity with her and when she smacked the little girl, she had hit back.  Mel told everything except what Lizzie had done in the first place.  She still thought that Lizzie should be the one to tell Dominic that.

 

“Well, I’m sorry it’s upset you so, Mel, but you knew it had to be done.  That child has to know who’s in charge.  I’m glad you put her in her place.  At least now she knows she can’t get away with things when you’re around.”

 

“I g-guess so,” Mel stammered, yawning.  It was late and she was exhausted.

 

Dominic stood up.  He held out his hand for her to take.  “Come on, young lady, I’m putting you to bed.  We can talk more in the morning about you being up this late.”

 

Mel let Dom lead her to her room.  He pulled the blankets back and nodded for her to get into bed.  But she didn’t.  She only shook her head back and forth.

 

Dom was surprised.  He raises his eyebrows and looked at his girlfriend.  “Are you telling me no, young lady?”  Before she had a chance to answer, Dom turned her around and landed five smacks on her backside.

 

Mel grimaced but she didn’t cry out.  She knew she deserved those.  “Now, I suggest you get into bed now while you can still lay on your back,” Dom said, pointing.

 

But Melinda just shook her head again.  She knew what she was doing, but she wasn’t sure why.  She guessed maybe she needed Dom’s firm hand on her backside to let her know he was there for her and that she was loved.  Dom seemed to sense this is what Mel needed.

 

“Okay, you asked for this, young lady.”  Dom sat down in Mel’s dressing chair, and reached for her hairbrush.  “Over my lap,” he said firmly.

 

Mel, with tears in her eyes, looked down at Dom and nodded.  She lay directly across his lap.  He moved her so that her backside was in the right place, and gently lowered her panties to her ankles.  He raises his hand and brought it down over and over again on Mel’s bottom.

 

{Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} “You will go to bed when I tell you to, Melinda Sue.  You will not tell me ‘NO’!” {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!} {Smack! Smack!}

 

Dominic smacked Melinda’s backside til it was a bright red.  Then he reached for the hairbrush.  “And furthermore,” he started, lifting the large wooden hairbrush and bringing it down again and again, “you should not even be up this late in the first place.”

 

{Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!}

“Your bedtime is 10:00.  Now I realize you were up late with your sister, but you should have been in bed by 11:00 at the latest.  It is way too late for you to be up, fretting about having punished your sister, when she needed it.  I don’t want to talk to you about bedtimes again, young lady.  Is that understood?”

 

{Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!} {Whack! Whack!}

 

Melinda cried out, “Y-y-yes, s-sirrrrr!”  She sobbed and sobbed but she felt better.  It was hard to explain, but Mel knew she needed that spanking.  She would be able to sleep better now.

 

Dom pulled her up into his lap and soothed her bottom with his hand.  Her tush was bright red and hot to the touch.  He patted her back and smoothed out her hair.  “I love you, Melinda.”

 

She put her head on his shoulder and sobbed a little.  “I love you, too, Dominic.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone slept late the next morning.

 

When Lizzie got up, she saw Dominic sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee and reading the paper.  She was surprised to see him there that early.  Lizzie looked him over.  His hair was not combed and he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

 

“D-Dominic?” she said, hesitating.

 

Dom put the paper down and looked over at the little girl.  “Hiya, sweetie.  Good morning.”

 

“G-good morning, sir,” she said, hesitantly.  She knew she would have to tell him what she did, and now she would have to start earlier than she had first thought.

 

“Did you have a good sleep, Lizzie?”

 

“It was a-all r-right, sir.  And you?”

 

Dom smiled.  “Come, let’s make you some breakfast.”

 

All during breakfast, Lizzie could not keep her eyes off Dominic.  He must not know what she did because he was being too nice and friendly.  Lizzie knew that when Dominic found out she had used his credit card, he would go through the roof.

 

Melinda did not show her face for a long time.  She and Dom had woken up in each other’s arms and made love.  It had been wonderful.  After he finally got up, she went back to sleep.  She had meant to tell him that Lizzie had to tell him something, but it slipped her mind.  While she was still in dreamland, Lizzie’s mind was in hell.

 

“Um, sir?” Lizzie said, looking up from her french toast.

 

“Yes, sweetie?”

 

Lizzie felt the toast rising in her throat.  She thought she was going to be sick.  “D-did Lin tell you she had to spank me last night?”

 

Dominic looked right at Lizzie’s face and nodded.  “Yes, she did, as a matter of fact.  Would you like to tell me what happened?”

 

“Well, uh, I got uppity with her cuz I thought she was being unfair.  She said I couldn’t keep something.”

 

“Keep what, Lizzie?”

 

“Umm, a scooter, sir.”

 

“A scooter? Where did you get a scooter?”

 

Lizzie started to cry and then the whole story came tumbling out.  Dom remained silent while the little girl told her tale.  When she was finished, he just stared at her.

 

“Are you v-v-very mad?” Lizzie asked in a little voice.

 

“I’m upset that you would take my card and use it without permission, Elizabeth.”

 

There was her full name again.  Lizzie didn’t know what to say so she just nodded.

 

“Would you go into my pants pocket and take money out of it, sweetie?”

 

Lizzie was confused.  Was he asking her to do that? Then she realized he was asking if she would ever do that.

 

“N-n-no, sir, never!”

 

“Then why would you use my card? It’s the same thing.”

 

Lizzie started to whine.  “I didn’t know.  I didn’t know how it worked til Lin tole me,” she cried.  “I didn’t know you hadda pay for the scooter.  I thought I could just keep it and no one would know where it comed from.”

 

Dominic cupped Lizzie’s chin in his hand and turned her face up to him.  “But you knew it was wrong to take the card without permission, didn't you?”

 

“I didn’t take it, sir.  I just found it.”

 

Dom sighed.  “Well to use it then.”

 

“Oh, um, I think so.  I mean, I guess I knew, sir.”

 

“It's very close to stealing, Elizabeth, and not a very good idea.  It’s wrong to steal.”

 

“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”

 

“I’ll make sure you don’t,” Dominic said, standing up.  He put out his hand and led Lizzie into her bedroom.  He noticed his credit card on top of her dresser.  He pocketed it before he sat down on the edge of her bed.  Lizzie stood in front of Dominic knowing what was coming.

 

Dom reached down and pulled her pajama pants and her panties right down to her ankles.  Lizzie watched them slide down.  He then picked her up and placed her across his lap, running his hand along the curve of her little tush.

 

He raised his hand and brought it down hard.  {Smaaaaaaaaack! Smaaaaaaaaaack!}

 

“Owwwww!” Lizzie cried.

 

{Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} “You knew you shouldn't be using that card, Elizabeth.” {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!}

 

“Owwwwww, yessssssirrrrrrrrr!”

 

{Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} “You have lots of toys.”   {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!}

 

“I knowwwww, I sorrrrrry!” Lizzie cried as the spanks kept coming.  She thought this was probably the worst spanking she’d ever gotten so far.

 

{Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} “You don't need to take my card to get more, especially without permission.”

 

Lizzie was starting to wiggle and kick her little feet.  She was already in a lot of pain.  “Yesssir, I won’t anymore, pleeease! I not do it again!”

 

{Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} “I’m going to make sure of that, Elizabeth!” he said firmly.  {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!}  “You’ll be thinking about it when you try to sit down for a while.”

 

“Owwwwwwwwww, yessssssssssir!!!!!!” Lizzie sobbed.  “Please stop!”

 

But Dominic did not stop.  Not yet.  He kept raining those spanks down on Lizzie’s poor little bottom.  Lizzie vowed then and there never to earn another spanking from this man.  She would sit in her room all day every day and never do anything wrong.

 

Dominic raised his hand a few more times, taking dead aim at Lizzie’s sit spot.  {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!}  {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!} {Smack! Smack! Swattttt!}

 

Just when Lizzie thought she could bear no more, Dom stopped.  Lizzie didn’t even realize at first, because she was crying so hard.  Finally she felt herself being pulled to her feet.  Lizzie just looked up into Dom’s face.  He didn’t look angry at all.  She reached for him and he pulled her into his lap and held her tight.  She put her head on his shoulder and just sobbed.

 

“That really hurt,” she said finally, when the sobbing subsided.

 

“I’m sure it did.”

 

Lizzie nodded, still sniffling.  She didn’t know what else to say.  Lizzie knew what she wanted to say, but was afraid.  Dominic just held her close, rubbing her back and her bottom, helping to get rid of the sting.

 

Finally he put her down on the floor and gently pulled her panties and pajama bottoms up.  “You okay?” he asked.

 

Lizzie nodded.  She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.

 

Dom looked down at her gently.  “What is it, sweetie?”

 

“Lin said that you loved me, sir?” Lizzie asked, rather than stated.

 

Dominic smiled and nodded.  “Oh, I do, Lizzie, very much.”

 

“You do?”

 

“Yes, I wouldn’t bother with you if I didn’t love you.  I want you to learn right from wrong.  And I will punish you if you do something naughty, like you did yesterday.”

 

“I won’t do it again, sir, I won’t use your moneycard again, ever.”

 

“Good girl,” Dom stated.  “Now come here.”

 

Lizzie ran back into Dom’s arms and he scooped her up.  He gave her a big kiss on each cheek.  “That means you’re forgiven, sweetie.”

 

Lizzie smiled.  “You know what?” she whispered.

 

“What?”

 

“I love you, too.”

 

Melinda smiled as she watched from the doorway.  Could anything be more perfect than the man she loved and the little girl who she loved loving each other?  She had a really great life and some incredible things to be thankful for.  Everything in her world was fine, just fine.

 

Not wanting to miss out, Mel ran into the room and joined in the hug.  “I love you both!” she said.  They all smiled.

 

The end.
