The Commander's Daughter (11 page)

Liam glared at Melody from the next branch. “You and I have much to discuss, young lady.”

“I didn’t mean to get lost,” Melody said softly as she chewed worriedly on her lower lip.

“Mmm,” was his only response before he caught her by the upper arm and jerked her off her tree limb and into his arms. Melody barely had time to squeal at their precarious position when the transporter kicked into action again, landing them safely on the cabin porch.

“Corner,” was all Liam said as he stepped back from her, releasing his hold.

“But—” Melody began.

In a flash she was bent beneath Liam’s thick arm and his hand was clapping hard and fast off her jean-clad backside.

Tears were starting to form in her eyes when he released her again.

“Corner now!” he barked at her.

This time Melody ran straight up the stairs and into their room without arguing. This was not going to be good. Maybe he would feel more lenient if she demonstrated how willing to accept his punishment she was. Melody stripped the clothing from her body and then went to stand in her corner naked and ready for his punishment.

* * *

Liam was pleased to find Melody waiting in her corner completely naked, but he knew her obedience was designed to soften the punishment she had coming. She would learn quickly manipulation of this sort would not work.

If Melody earned a punishment, she would receive everything she deserved. He studied her bottom. The swats he’d delivered in the entryway had left a soft pink blush on her lush flesh. He would soon deepen the color to a red hot enough to rival the sun in its intensity.

Liam moved a chair into the center of the room and removed the thick utility belt from around his waist. Sitting down in the chair with the belt doubled in his hand, Liam called her to him.

Melody moved quietly from the corner to stand in front of him watching him with wary green eyes.

“I am very unhappy with you, young lady,” he told her sternly. “I woke eager to start the day with my mate in my arms and found not only did she leave our bed, but she left our home without proper escort.”

“I am a grown woman, Liam,” Melody said, momentarily seeming to forget her new submissive nature. “It shouldn’t be such a problem that I went for a walk. I was perfectly safe.”

“Where did I find you, Melody?” he asked with an arched brow.

A flush filled her cheeks as she looked down at the floor. “In a tree, but—”

“Was there or was there not a bear underneath the tree?”

“Well, yes, but—”

“Do you still contend that you were perfectly safe?” Liam asked.

He watched as Melody seemed to deflate a little, her shoulders folding inward as she answered in a small voice, “No, sir.”

“I want you to lay yourself over my knee,” he told her implacably.

Wiping a tear from her cheek, Melody lowered herself over his lap without further argument. Liam sat the belt on the floor at his feet and pulled her in close as he began to apply his hand to her upturned posterior. Her body jerked slightly with each swat; he intended to leave a lasting impression so he started out with firm measured strokes, gradually building up the speed and intensity.

* * *

He spanked and spanked and spanked. Melody felt like her bottom would burst into flame at any moment and still his hand fell relentlessly on her poor backside. Just when she thought she’d gotten used to his spanking pattern enough to anticipate the swats, it changed.

She bit her lip, wanting to take her spanking well and without begging him to stop. Then he started to spank the crease where her bottom met her thigh again and again in the exact same place and her resolve broke.

“Liam, please! Not there again! Owwww! Please, I can’t take any more in the same spot!” Her desperate cries fell on deaf ears as his hand continued to fall. Finally he stopped, but before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, his hand began to give the other side the exact same treatment.

Before he was finished, she was wailing her apologies as she bucked over his lap in an effort to avoid his punishing palm.

Then he lifted her to stand between his legs. “Now you will go to the closet and get the large butt plug and bring it to me with some lube.”

Melody wanted to beg him not to plug her because her bottom already hurt so badly, but she knew instinctively such behavior would only make the punishment worse. Sniffling miserably, she quickly fetched the lube and large plug from his bag in the closet and brought it back to him.

“Good girl, now bend over with your bottom facing me and hold yourself wide open for me,” he instructed.

Melody felt embarrassed heat fill her cheeks. It didn’t matter how many times Liam had seen her just like this; as a punishment, it was different and horrifying to expose herself to him this way. She bent over, following his instructions by catching a flaming and sore butt cheek in each hand and pulling herself open.

“Spread your legs further apart and open yourself wider,” he told her sternly.

She closed her eyes as she complied, then groaned when she felt his lube-coated fingers slide inside her ass. There was no slow work-up; his fingers went in to the hilt with the very first thrust and twisted and moved all around, stretching her for the plug. Before she was even used to the intrusion of his fingers, they were gone and the plug was shooting home, filling her uncomfortably full.

Then Liam was using the plug to ride her ass hard and fast, making her whimper as he thrust it in and out and twisted it inside her over and over again.

“Liam, please! I’m sorry!” she wailed loudly.

“Are you going to leave our home without the proper escort ever again, young lady?” he asked.

“No, sir!”

Then he seated the plug firmly and pulled her back over his lap, positioning Melody with her legs slightly open. Liam began to snap the belt down over her backside, paying special attention to the under-curve of her butt and making sure every few strokes landed hard over the base of the plug, jolting it inside her.

Melody was a sobbing mess by the time the belt fell for the tenth stroke. Liam dropped the belt and rubbed his hand soothingly over her lower back as she cried over his knee.

“You took your punishment well,” he said gently as he pulled her up into his arms for a hug.

Melody snuggled into his embrace from her position straddling his thighs, relieved to not have anything against her bottom.

Liam kissed her sweetly before putting her on her feet in front of him. “Now you will put your jeans back on.”

She gasped, hating the thought of the rough denim rubbing against her sore bum, but she knew better than to argue. She reached around to pull out the plug, but Liam stayed her hand.

“No. The plug stays in until I take it out. No panties, just the jeans,” he said, leaving no room to misinterpret his wishes.

She moaned as she pulled the jeans up and over her backside, flinching as they seemed to press the plug even deeper into her bottom.

Melody was shocked when he didn’t allow her a shirt either.

“Just the jeans, now let’s go have breakfast.”

Chapter Twelve

Liam bit back a smile as he watched Melody fighting not to squirm as she sat on the stool at the island watching him make their breakfast.

She was trying so hard to please him and she did. Melody pleased him more than words could express with her sweet submission. She had taken a very hard punishment with very little complaint and was doing her best to sit still on what he knew was a very sore and plugged ass.

If she managed to sit without too much fidgeting through breakfast, he would take her back to bed and remove the plug before making her body sing with pleasure. If not, the plug would stay where it was for the near future.

He enjoyed watching her bare breasts as she sat at the counter in only her tight jeans. As he watched, her little nipples began to tighten into hard little berries and he realized her effort not to squirm wasn’t just because of a sore rear.

His little mate was aroused.

* * *

Melody drank her orange juice and tried to enjoy her bacon and eggs, but all she wanted to do was shift in the chair. No longer was she wanting to avoid the jolt each movement sent through the plug; now she was fighting not to grind against the pressure as the discomfort had shifted into pleasure sometime in the last hour.

While the punishment had been painful and embarrassing, it had also been arousing to submit so completely to Liam’s authority.

Now she wanted him to take her; no, she needed him to take her.

“You’re being such a good girl. Are you finished with your breakfast?” Liam asked.

“Yes, sir.”

“Come with me and I’ll take that plug out of your naughty bottom and fill it with something else,” he said, holding his hand out to her.

Melody went to him eagerly, taking his hand and following him up the stairs. Once in their bedroom he made short work of pulling her free of the jeans; encouraging her to bend over once again, he gently removed the plug.

He patted her upturned bottom and told her to stay in position. She heard him moving around and the rustle of clothing, then turned when he called her.

Liam was standing naked next to a big round ball with what looked like a long dildo attached. It resembled an exercise ball, but was much larger, too large for her to mount if that was his intention.

“It’s a Spurilian sex ball; they are in the pleasure quadrant of the Ramelian star system. I purchased it before we left for the cabin,” he explained, moving the ball to rest at the edge of the bed as she watched dubiously. She gasped when he lifted her in his arms and lowered her over the dildo, moaning as he impaled her on its length. Melody braced herself with her hands on the foot of the bed as she found herself straddling the ball with her feet dangling above the floor.

“Liam!” she cried out her nervousness at her precarious perch warring with the pleasure of the dildo fitting snugly into her channel.

“Worry not, I would never allow you to fall,” Liam told her, softly kissing the top of her head. Then, placing his hands on either side of her thighs, he pressed down on the ball with a fast movement.

Melody suddenly bounced up off the ball, sliding up the shaft filling her and back down again. Liam continued to bounce her quickly up and down until she cried out shuddering with an explosive orgasm.

When he bounced her again, Liam caught her thighs in his hands and held her up, the tip of the dildo still pressed just inside her opening as he slid onto the ball behind her. Melody’s head fell back against his shoulder with a groan when she felt the tip of his well lubed cock fit into the opening of her bottom.

With agonizing slowness, Liam lowered her until she was once again impaled on the dildo and his cock was pressed all the way inside her ass, sending frissons of pleasurable electricity up and down her spine.

Even the feel of her punished bottom resting on his hard thighs felt good. As soon as she was fully seated, Liam began a rocking bounce that shifted her back and forth from his cock to the dildo, bouncing off one as she slid down the other.

She could only cry out her pleasure at the exquisite sensation and soon he was bouncing her hard and fast as she screamed his name, shooting from one shuddering orgasm to another.

* * *

Liam loved Melody’s uninhibited response to the sex ball. Clearly she loved the way it bounced her up and down over both his shaft and the dildo he’d attached to it. Her hoarse cries of pleasure were music to his ears.

Reaching around her, he caught the small attachment at the base of the dildo and pulled it free; it was a small suction device designed for clitoral stimulation. Liam carefully parted Melody’s wet lips a bit more so he could attach the little cup directly to her clit.

Once it clamped on the little clit, it began sucking immediately, and he began to bounce the ball harder as she screamed incoherently and everything in her body stiffened as she came, her entire body shuddering in release.

Her ass began to spasm around his cock, squeezing him tight as he yelled out his own release, her muscles milking him dry.

Melody was limp with exhaustion when he lifted her gently from the ball and carried her into the bathroom to clean her carefully. Liam knelt next to the tub as he washed her. Melody’s body continued to shiver as aftershocks from the intense pleasure washed over her. Liam enjoyed running the wet soapy cloth over her sensitive breasts, watching them tighten once more into needy little buds.

Melody groaned in appreciation when he stroked the cloth up and down her back in circling motions. “That feels so good, Liam.”

He tenderly washed her arms, then moved on to her stomach and carefully between her legs in case she was sore. Melody sighed in contentment as he ministered to her needs. When Liam got to her feet, he pulled them out of the water and rubbed each foot as he cleaned it, paying special attention to the area between her toes.

“Oh, my goodness, I never knew a foot rub could feel so good,” Melody said encouragingly, her eyes getting heavier and heavier with each stroke of his fingers along the arch of her foot.

Even though they’d only been up a few hours, it had been an eventful morning and his little mate was ready for a nap. Liam quickly lifted her from the tub and dried her gently.

“So sleepy,” she murmured softly into his neck as he carried her back to their bed. “Love you, Liam.”

“I love you too, Melody,” he told her as he wrapped her once again in his arms and curled his body around her. They would take a rest, then spend the afternoon exploring the woods together, hopefully without the bears.

Chapter Thirteen

Their two weeks at her parents’ cabin had been idyllic. Together she and Liam had explored the woods around the cabin. Thankfully there were no further encounters with bears and Melody never ventured further than the yard without Liam.
