I forcefully took hold of the back of her neck to hold her in place while I brought the leather strap down across her ass not once or twice but eight times. Each time the strap landed, the volume of her screams increased. When I stopped, she was lying there shaking like a leaf. “Rainey, get your red ass up, go in the kitchen. Get on your knees in front of your mother. You will apologize to her for not doing what you were asked to do when she asked. If I repeat this lesson, you will know this was a soft, warm hug. Girl, move it or do you want some more?” Slowly, she slipped out of bed, scooted out the door, and went towards the kitchen.
When Rainey got into the kitchen, she got on her knees and begged her mother’s forgiveness, promising that from now on, she would do what she was asked to do the first time. What really got my attention was when she said. “Momma, I don’t want Linc whipping my ass again. That was pure pain. I don’t need another lesson in that.” That made me recall when I was treated to a taste of the same strap from my dad when I shot my mouth off. With that, she limped off and came back with a pile of clothes that she took to the pantry and put on the counter there, then she came back with another pile of clothes. Rainey began sorting them after shaking them out and checking for tags and stickers. All the time, she kept one eye on me. Cat stood there and watched the mini-drama play out with a slight smile.
While Rainey was gone to get another armful of clothes, Cat came over to me and took my hand in hers and smiled as she said. “Thank you, I wondered how long it would be before something popped? Rainey needs a man to firmly take her in hand and keep her on the path. Just as you did. She never really had a dad, but you could be it, at least in her mind. I wouldn’t be surprised at all when she starts calling you Dad. Linc, you are a powerful force that will change her direction.”
Not letting go of Cat’s hand, “and what does momma need?”
That question led to a giggle from Cat. “Momma? Momma needs a real man who will ride her hard and tame her.” Then she stood up on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on my cheek before she dashed back into the kitchen. Leaving me standing in the middle of the floor, wondering what the hell I have gotten my ass into this time?
Before I could collect my thoughts, Rainey called out, “Linc? We may have more stuff here than hangers. Where can I find some more?”
“Rainey? I don’t know if there are any more around the house. We’ll get some more tomorrow. What else are we going to want, guys? Cat? Can you make a list, please, so we don’t forget something? Leave a list out so little Mousey, and I can add things to it.” They both looked at me with a confused look. “Ladies, is there a problem?”
“Linc, you really don’t know, do you? We were so scared of what this day would mean. Day one of a ten-year sentence. Hell, you spanked Rainey’s ass. Which she deserved, hell, she needed that spanking. She needed to get the message that things had changed, and she had better get with the new program. I know she will. Isn’t that right, my little girl?”
“Momma, you have no idea. I guess I needed that spanking mom. But I do not want Linc to ever spank ass again for any reason. I will do my best to ensure that Linc is always proud of everything I do, and he never has a reason to spank me again. Momma and I promise you whatever you need doing, I will do it at once.”
“Linc? Who is this little girl? Ya know, she resembles how a little girl I used to know looked. But she doesn’t sound like her at all.” That got a giggle from both of my women. “Girl, come here. Your momma needs a big hug.” She dashed over and fell into her momma’s open arms. Then Rainey went off searching for new best friends, Rufus and Dufus. When she found their place, she sat down with them and began scratching their ears. As that was playing out, I slipped into the kitchen, tapped Cat on the shoulder and pointed out where Rainey was. That got a smile from Cat. “I know she has a sore ass, but she looks happy for the first time in ages. Linc? I wasn’t kidding; she’s going adopt you as the dad she never had.” I stuck my nose in what Cat had on the stove, then smiled and reached over to give her a hug.
“You like?” I just nodded my head as I held her close. “OHH! And I like where your hand is resting on my ass. That feels good to me. I like.” I tapped her shoulder and pointed across the room where Rainey was fast asleep, curled up on the dog’s bed with both the dogs piled on top of her. We stood there and enjoyed the moment. Then I pulled Cat deep in my arms and softly kissed her while my hand reached up and found a small breast. All this made Cat moan into my mouth as our tongues danced about. “Linc, so you know. You are the first man to kiss me since my husband walked out on Rainey and me years ago. I missed this so much. But I always wanted the right man, and Linc, I think you’re the man.”
“Cat, after dinner, when things are quiet, come to my room, and we can talk.” That got a warm smile and a shy nod.
“Ladies, I have some reading I need to get done before going off to sleep. I’ll see you two in the morning. Cat? The coffee pot set up?” My question got a smile as she nodded her head.
An hour or so later, the pocket door to my bedroom slipped open, and Cat came in. At first, she didn’t say anything; she just looked around. My bed is enormous — it’s an Alaskan king-size bed that measures eighty-one square feet. I was sitting up in bed with a pile of pillows behind my head. On one side of me was a neat pile of files, and on the other side were files that I had flung over there. I smiled and said, “hi there, I’m glad you found your way in. Years ago, I got in the habit of bringing files to bed to review them. Hell, I have to read these damm things. And reading them in bed is better than having too much to drink or a sleeping pill. This way, I don’t wake up in the morning with a hangover, and I get some work out of the way.”
Cat stood there looking at me and all the stuff scattered over the bed and shook her head. “You done made a damm mess in here, you know?” As she talked, I rolled around, gathering the files and stacking them up neatly. “Linc? This must be the biggest bed I have ever seen. Hell, you could have a harem of willing slaves spread over this bed and still have plenty of room.”
“Cat? If you think that, your reaction to the shower will be priceless.” I pointed toward a doorway. “Go on. Go and see it.”
The arched doorway led into my closet and behind that was the bathroom and shower. When Cat came back, she was shaking her head. “Linc, that shower is ridiculous. You could give a herd of elephants a shower in there.” I looked up and smiled as I patted the bed next to me. “This is insane.” She muttered as she sat down on the bed, then looked me in the eyes and smiled. “One other thing Mister Lincoln, thank you for finding us. I had no idea what was to be, but today has been a dream with a wonderful man.” Cat curled up next to me on the bed and softly purred. I slowly ran my fingertips up and down her back as she did. She wiggled around and wrapped her arms around me as I did this. Then looking up quizzically, she asked, “comfy?”
