Lucinda (16 page)
“I heard at least ten different versions between the outskirts of town and here, Mrs. Zabarski.”
“There weren’t even ten people in the saloon!” she exclaimed.
“So, you did set foot in there?” he angrily demanded.
“You weren’t here and a man was dying! I was trying to help, Henry.”
“You went into the saloon after I forbade it. You had a gun pulled on you. You got into a fight. You sassed Mac and then you kicked him when he told you to get on home.” He looked at her. “Does that about sum it up?”
“No, not really,” she argued. “I went to the saloon to help, for no other reason. This poor girl came in and thought I’d killed Dove, the man who was injured. She went for her gun, and I disarmed her. She came at me and I defended myself. Dove died, and she was grief-stricken. Mac always sees the worst in me, Henry. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Was kicking Mac ‘right’?” he demanded.
“He was being a pompous, irritating ass. He poured beer all over me! I lost my temper.”
“You were told not to ever go into a saloon for any reason, weren’t you, Lucinda?” Henry asked mildly.
“I didn’t go there, Henry. I was led there to help someone. There is a difference. I wouldn’t have set foot in there if someone wasn’t injured.”
“It isn’t a safe place for a woman, Mrs. Zabarski. You could have asked them to bring the man here, but you made a choice to go into a saloon instead. Not acceptable, and you are going to get your butt strapped for it.”
“Noooo! That’s just not fair, Henry!” she argued. “I don’t deserve your belt for trying to help someone.”
“I’m not going to spank you for trying to help someone, Lucy!” Henry was exasperated. “I’m going to spank you because you went about it in the wrong way. You went into a saloon, and you were very nearly shot!”
“That would have happened if Dove were here in the infirmary, darling. You’re letting your worry and fear for my safety make you crazy again!” she accused. “Maybe I should have asked someone to bring Dove here… but I just didn’t think of it at the time,” she conceded. “I’m sorry, and if there is a next time, I will do just that if at all possible.”
Henry nodded. Lucy had a point. He was letting his worry and fear take over his common sense once again. He needed to learn from his mistakes, too. “You’re right, Lucy. I’m letting worry over your safety make me harsh, and I promised I wouldn’t let that happen again.” She smiled at him in relief, and he was hard pressed to continue, “But you did go into a saloon… and you did kick Mac, and I won’t let that pass.” He took his hands from his belt and reached for her instead.
Common sense warned Lucy not to struggle. She didn’t want a spanking at all, but she’d known as soon as she kicked Mac that she would pay for her impulsive behavior with a sore bottom. Henry bared her and then spanked her white cheeks with his hand, making sure each slap was sharp and left a burning sting that soon turned her bottom a fiery red. Lucy tried to lie still and accept the spanking, but after a while, she was hurting and pleading for mercy. “Henry, please stop! I’m sorry I kicked Mac, and I promise I will apologize to him.”
“Are you sorry for setting foot in the saloon?” he stopped spanking to ask.
“I’m sorry I didn’t stop to consider how upset you would be,” she offered. “I also promise to think if there is ever a next time. Contrary to what Mac would have you believe, I do not do these things to upset you, darling. I truly love you and want you to be happy.”
The spanking was over and while his feisty little wife might have a sore bottom, she clearly won the battle. He gently turned her over to hold her on his lap and he claimed her sweet lips with his. “I truly love you and want you to be happy, too, my sweet Lucy.”
