Lessons for Lexi (16 page)

Lexi slapped Raj on the knee. “That’s
what I said!”

Raj frowned. “It was the best I could
think of on short notice.”

JT returned, carrying a tray of
coffees, along with a juice for Lexi. He was incredibly strict about her diet.
Not only was alcohol forbidden, all forms of caffeine were prohibited too.
“What are we talking about?” He asked as he sat down.

Lexi pouted. “How you won’t be here to
celebrate with me when I get released to regular activity on Friday.” JT was
going on a business trip on Friday and wouldn’t be back until Sunday night.
 

He kissed her on the forehead. “I’m
sorry sweetheart. It’s only two days. I’ll be back on Sunday and we can
celebrate then.” He looked at Raj. “Maybe Raj could stay and keep you company.”

Raj smiled. “That sounds good. There’s
actually this concert on Saturday at a bar downtown. The station I’m working
for got me free tickets. If Lexi is up to it, maybe she can come with me.”

“That sounds awesome!” Lexi perked up
immediately. “I am so tired of being cooped up in this house. A concert is
just…”

“Absolutely not,” JT was firm. “The
last place you need to be is in a smoky bar filled with booze and musicians.”

“But JT…” Lexi turned to him, “I won’t
drink or anything. I can just go and listen to the band.”

“No, you can’t handle that type of
temptation yet.” JT crossed his arms, making it clear that he would not change
his mind.

Lexi glared at him. She hated it when
he treated her like a child, and especially hated that he was doing it in front
of Raj, who was struggling not to laugh. She was 28 years old and she should be
able to go to a concert if she wanted to. She chose not to say so though. She
didn’t trust JT to not paddle her bottom right there in from of Raj and Althea if
she argued with him. “Fine, I won’t go.”

“Good,” mollified, he leaned over and
took her hand. “I’m not saying you can’t leave the house. I’m just saying that
you can’t go to places like that yet. Give it a little bit more time, ok?”

Lexi nodded, but his words went in one ear
and out the other. She had every intention of going to that concert.

***

As expected, Lexi was released to
regular activities at her doctor’s appointment that Friday. Raj stayed with her
overnight and on Saturday, they got ready together.

 
“You
sure you want to do this?” Raj asked as he slid into a form fitting t-shirt.
“JT is going to be pissed if he finds out.”

Lexi shrugged and painted her lips with
bright red lipstick. She’d gone back to her natural black hair color and was
pleased with the overall effect. She didn’t look as untouchable as she did when
she was Lexi Logan, but she didn’t look as dopey as she had as Alex. . “He’s
not going to find out.
 
He’s not back
until tomorrow night.”

Raj shrugged and checked his reflection
in the mirror.
“True, and even if he did, what’s the worst
that could happen?”

Lexi didn’t answer, but her thoughts
immediately went to the paddle JT kept in the nightstand. She felt a bit of
apprehension that she shook off. He would never have to know.

Two hours later, all her apprehension
was gone. She was having a great time at the concert, though she had given into
temptation and had a few drinks. Well, more than a few, she was a least
moderately buzzed.

Her cell phone rang and she raced out
the door of the bar when she saw the JT’s name on the display. He called every
night just to say good night. She got to a quiet area and answered.

“Hey JT.”

“Hey sweetheart,” just the sound of his
voice gave her butterflies. “What are you up to?”

“Just a quiet night at home with Raj,”
she answered lightly.

“Home huh?” His voice was warm. “I’m
glad you think of it that way.”

Lexi immediately felt guilty for lying
to him. In truth, he had been right to forbid the concert. She had learned that
her willpower wasn’t that strong where alcohol was concerned. She asked about
the business trip, made a bit more chit chat and then hung up the phone, still
feeling a pang of guilt.

She went back in the bar and found Raj.
“I think I’m going to go home,” she told him, unable to shake the guilty
feeling.

“Ok, you need me to drive you?”

“No, I’ll get a cab.” She left the club
and hailed a cab after saying her goodbyes, anxious to get home and wait for
JT.

It turned out she didn’t need to wait.
She bounded up the stairs, into the master bedroom she and JT
shared,
intent on taking a long hot bath and forgetting
about her lies.

Instead, she found JT sitting on the
bed, waiting for her.

She froze.

“I decided to come home a bit early
because I missed you.” His voice was clipped and angry. “Instead, I find the
house empty and learn that you disobeyed my direct command. You went to that
concert, didn’t you?”

Lexi nodded, unable to make
herself
speak. She didn’t bother to lie, knowing that she’d
get caught and only compound what was going to be a terrible punishment.

“Did you drink?”

Her eyes filled with tears and she hesitated,
then
forced herself to nod again.

“Get undressed and get ready for bed
while I think about the appropriate way to punish you for this.” He stood and
glared at her, “Because it is going to be severe.”

***

Lexi stretched her arm muscles and
stifled a sob. She pressed forehead against the wall and pushed herself up on
her tiptoes, trying to relieve the burning throb in her rear. It didn’t help.
She wanted to rub it, but she wasn’t allowed to. It was why JT was making her
stand with her hands on her head. Her whole body went cold as she heard the
unmistakable click of the egg timer as the last few seconds clicked away. It let
out a short ring and she jumped.

“That time again already?” JT’s voice
was almost jovial as he looked up from his computer screen. “I’m assuming you
know what to do by now.”

Lexi blinked back tears and dropped her
arms. She knew. So far, they’d repeated the whole process four times. It had
started at 8 in the morning.

JT had spanked her the night before,
when she’d arrived home and found him waiting for her. At first, she thought
she was getting off lightly. He’d used his hand and he’d only spanked her for a
few minutes. Then he’d set the alarm and she realized he had only been warming
her up for the main event.

As soon as the alarm had gone off, Lexi
had been yanked from the bed, still in the nude, and shoved into a robe. JT had
given her five minutes to brush her teeth and meet him in his office. When
she’d arrived, her eyes had been glued to the objects on his desk. The paddle
he’d used on her on her first day home, and his belt. An egg timer had also
been on the desk. She hadn’t understood why but she soon learned.

JT had planned an all day punishment in
response to her rebellion. Since 8 am, Lexi had been alternating between corner
time
and spanking time. She’d bend over the
desk,
JT would give her twenty whacks with either the paddle
or the belt. He’d set the alarm and she’d go back to the corner. The alarm
would ding and she would go back to the desk to receive another 20.

She let out a groan as she bent over
the desk for the 5
^th
time that day. She watched JT’s hands, praying
for the paddle instead of the belt. The paddle hurt, but the belt was torture.
He picked up the belt and Lexi closed her eyes.

“I’m betting you’re starting to regret
the concert.” JT’s voice was coming from behind her and Lexi whimpered. “Don’t
forget to count nice and loud.” JT flicked his wrist and the belt whipped against
her sit spot.

“One,” Lexi tried to choke the word
out, but it came out garbled and he made her do it over. “One,” her voice was
much stronger the second time. JT got into a rhythm and soon Lexi was sobbing
out the numbers as the belt connected. After what felt like hours, she
screeched out 20 and collapsed on his desk, sobbing hysterically. Her backside
was no longer burning. Instead, it felt like it had been flayed. The heat from
her fresh welts had burned so
hot,
they’d actually
turned the corner and become cold.

JT left her lying on the desk and
walked back around it to his chair. He picked up the egg timer. “You can have
five minutes to pull yourself together. After that, back to the corner.” He
turned his attention back to the computer as though Lexi wasn’t sobbing on his
desk.

“How long are you going to do this to
me?” Lexi asked as she managed to calm down and stand again. She started to
reach for her sore cheeks, but then remembered the penalty for rubbing and
dropped her hands. Any rubbing or misbehaving resulted in an immediate 5 smacks
with the belt. Lexi had learned that the hard way after her first few times
over the desk.

“Until it’s
done.”
The egg timer dinged and he pointed to the corner. “While you’re in there this
time
, I want you to think of ten reasons why you’re glad I’m
spanking you.” He laughed at her incredulous look. “No smart ass answers. That
will get penalty whacks added.”

Lexi glared at the floor as she trudged
back to the corner. She wanted to tell him to fuck off, but knew she wouldn’t.
Instead, she knew that she would do exactly what he said, and she would recite
those reasons obediently when he told her to. The redder her bottom got, the
more contrite and meek Lexi became. It was a fact JT had laughingly pointed
out.

Lexi pouted as she folded her hands
behind her head and pressed her face into the corner. A left over tear trickled
down her cheek but she didn’t bother to wipe it away. There would be plenty
more to replace it later. Her ass was throbbing and she didn’t think she could
handle another punishment. Of course, in an hour, it would feel slightly
better. Then JT would wield the paddle or the belt and she’d be back in the
corner, waiting for the next one, praying for the paddle instead of the belt.

It was a truly diabolical punishment.
The waiting, knowing what was coming, made the punishment a million times
worse.

JT’s apathy wasn’t helping. He sat at
his desk, working, making phone calls, as though he didn’t have a nude woman
with a bright red bottom standing in the corner. The only time he acknowledged
her at all was when she was being spanked.

Lexi felt another tear trickle down.
She pressed her forehead to the wall and tried to think of the ten reasons she
was glad she was getting spanked before the egg timer went off again.

***

JT struggled to pull Lexi’s squirming
form back over his desk. She was trying to escape during the grand finale and
he wasn’t having it. He wrapped an arm around her waist and slapped the paddle
down on her backside for the 26
^th
time. Lexi had gotten hysterical
after she realized that she was getting more than 20. At thirty, he threw down
the paddle and reached for the belt.

“Now we’re going to go over your ten
reasons.” JT folded the belt in half. “Every time I smack you, I want one of
the reasons you deserved this.”

Lexi nodded meekly and winced as the
belt came down. “Concerts are bad for my recovery. That’s why you said no.”

“Good girl,” the belt connected again
and Lexi shrieked.

“I need boundaries.”
Another
crack.
“I take dangerous risks and you’re trying to protect me.” She
clenched her teeth as the belt landed again. “I’m self destructive and its
unacceptable behavior, which you told me before.” One by one, Lexi gave JT the
reasons for spanking her. This time, when the tears started again, it wasn’t
mainly from the pain. Instead, it was from the fact that even though she was
telling JT what she wanted to hear, he knew she realized it was all true. They
came to the final smack. “You do it because you care about me.”

“Very true.”
JT dropped
the belt on the desk in front of him. He helped Lexi to a sit in his lap and
wrapped his arms around her as she cried it out on his shoulder. He continued
to stroke her, rocking her in his arms until she started to doze off. He stood
with her still in his arms. “I’m bringing you upstairs to take a nap.”

“Ok,” she muttered sleepily against his
shoulder. He draped the robe over her and walked her up the stairs. He slid her
under the sheets and watched as she nestled underneath. Then he stripped out of
his clothes and followed her in. He let out a contended groan as he pressed his
swollen cock against her overheated backside. He wrapped his arms around her,
cupping one hand around her breast and the other over her mound in an openly
sexual way. When she woke, JT was determined that she would understand they
would be resuming all the aspects of their relationship. He spooned her close
and hoped for a short nap.
