WARNING: This CHAPTER contains corporal punishment. If this offends you, please discontinue your reading of this story.
A/N: I'm sorry again for the wait! Thanks for all the great reviews!!! Before I get to the good stuff I just want to explain one thing from the last chapter. I just wanted to clarify Carlisle's 'fake spanks' so to speak. He actually was going to give Edward a couple real spanks for his behavior but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He felt too guilty and changed his mind at the last second. So that's what that was all about. I really hope you guys like this chapter and that it's worth the wait. I stayed up later than I planned to finish it, aka I was really tired when I wrote a good chunk so I hope it's good! So without further ado.... chapter 7!
We both stood silently, eyes looking to the floor. I shuffled my feet nervously when Carlisle broke the silence with a sigh. He's rarely punished any of us so close together… and with twice in two days…. he was reluctant to say the least. I peeked up at him when I felt his eyes on me. He was looking at me intently, eyes heavy with sadness.
"I don't want to do this Edward…" He stated softly, a slight desperation lacing his tone. "I can't stand to do this…. You must understand that?"
I nodded slowly… pained by the hurt it caused him.
"But I stand here resigned. I am still upset with you; about that I cannot lie. This is not something that can or will be tolerated. I will not repeat my pervious lecture to you… surely you know by now why I must punish you?"
I nodded. He pulled his hands from his pockets and folded his arms across his chest. With the straightening of his posture he steeled his mind and transitioned from a hesitant companion, to my unfaltering father.
Tell me.
I cleared my throat, moving my eyes back to the floor as I spoke. "You are be..becau–"
"Edward," He interrupted, voice stern. "I want you to look at me when you tell me."
I snapped my eyes to his, slightly embarrassed by the rebuke.
"You are… punishing me twice because I… I attempted twice to end my life."
He nodded, satisfied enough with my answer.
"You are my son Edward. Your life is precious, and not just to me… to all of us. Do you understand?"
I nodded again in response. I could tell as he spoke his resolve was strengthening and his reluctance fading. It's not that he wanted to punish me… he just knew he had to. And the more resolved he came to be, the more nervous I became. I didn't want to be punished any more than I already had been, especially because I knew this would hurt ten times worse on an already tender bottom.
Alright then. He responded silently as he turned and made his way to my sofa. He sat, situating himself on the edge of the cushions and rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt. I stayed standing by the window, watching him anxiously.
When he was settled he looked to me, and meeting my eyes he waved me over with his hand. I stood frozen to the spot, staring at him.
Edward. He coaxed. Come here son.
I tried to go, but my feet were rooted to the floor... I just couldn't. I didn't want to go to him. I didn't want to be spanked again.
"Edward." He spoke aloud this time at my hesitation, voice firm.
In his mind I saw myself, eyes wide and terrified. My fingers fidgeted with my sleep pants but I didn't move.
"Edward Anthony, come here."
I bit my lip nervously but still stayed rooted in place. I knew I wasn't helping myself at all... but I just couldn't. It was shocking how quickly the atmosphere had changed with my disobedience. Carlisle was quickly losing his patience.
"Edward, do not make me fetch you." He threatened. "You will not like it. Come here."
"No… Carlisle…" I whined, shaking my head slightly and taking a step back from him. I don't know what had gotten into me. I had been resigned to this, even kind of accepting of it… But now that it was time to actually face it, I couldn't make myself.
Carlisle had had enough. In a second he was at my side with a firm grip on my arm. Moving me in front of him he propelled me toward the couch with a sharp spank.
"OW!" I cried, jumping forward at the unexpected impact. My eyes stung at the pain of the hard swat to my smarting backside. With my free hand I tried to rub out the burn.
"When I tell you to do something, you do it." Carlisle scolded as he proceeded to lead me over to the sofa.
"Yes… sir…" I sniffed.
The second we reached the couch I found myself over his lap and staring at the floor. Carlisle didn't want to give me any more opportunities for nonsense… he was done. When he had me situated over his knees, he took a deep breath too soothe his irritation at my wayward behavior.
"Now." He began calmly after a moment. "I realize it is difficult to accept punishment Edward... but acting as you just did was childish. I don't want a repeat of that charade, understood?"
"Yes." I whispered quietly.
Good. Now, I want you to tell me again… "Why you are about to receive this spanking?"
"Because I t..tried to provoke th..the Volturi." I stammered, my voice cracking a bit.
"Very Good." He praised, lightly rubbing my back.
Knowing we were about to start, I gripped his pant leg tightly, steeling myself. Carlisle rubbed my back once more in comfort before wrapping his arm around my waist, holding me securely in place.
I heard him sigh before he raised his hand and brought it down on my bottom with a hard smack.
"GUH!" I grunted as the sharp pain registered. Even though the thin cotton of my boxers and sleep pants offered little protection from the sting I was thankful I could keep them up for the moment. I hoped what little shielding they did provide would help me keep it together a little longer.
"OOWWW!" I yelped, squeezing my eyes shut at the next couple of spanks to my tender backside. Carlisle wasn't holding back as he quickly reignited the flames in my bottom. My eyes glazed over with venom, and I started kicking my feet. This hurt so much worse because of last night!
Carlisle tightened his grip and continued to spank hard as I squirmed and kicked over his lap.
"CARLISLE!!!" I cried out as he quickened the pace. "OH!! P..p..ple..please!!" I couldn't hold it in anymore... I started crying tearlessly then. It just hurt too much… my backside was on fire.
I was squirming and kicking in earnest, trying anything to avoid his stinging hand. I held onto his leg tighter, burying my face into the cushions as I cried.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!!
After a few more hard spanks Carlisle paused. It took me a minute through my crying, to notice him tugging down my sleep pants and boxers.
"NOOO!" I wailed in protest.
Carlisle paid me no mind as he shifted me forward in his lap, raising his right knee.
"OOOHHHH!!!" I howled out at the first hard swat to my sit-spots.
"What you did was completely unacceptable." Carlisle admonished me over my cries. "It will never happen again, will it?" He emphasized his question with 5 extra hard spanks to my sit-spots.
"N..N..NOO S..SIR!!!" I wailed as he continued to rain down smack after burning smack to my tender sit-spots. After a particularly hard swat, I couldn't help it… I reached back trying to protect myself (something I haven't done in years). Unfazed, Carlisle simply grabbed my wrist and pinned it to my lower back as he blistered my blazing posterior.
"P..p…ple..please no more!" I begged, finally breaking down into sobs. It seemed like it would never end. My chest heaved with the force of my sobs and I stopped struggling. Carlisle landed 10 more hefty spanks, causing me to howl through my sobs, before stopping.
He let go of my wrist, rubbing my back soothingly as I sobbed over his lap. It was still sorter than a normal spanking, but it had again been much harder, plus I had already been sore to begin with. It was the worst spanking I had ever gotten to date; needless to say I was blubbering across his lap like the little boy I felt like.
Carlisle replaced my pants and boxers (which I had almost kicked off) quickly, causing me to sob harder before righting me on his knees. He wrapped his arms around me as I clung to him fiercely, burying my face into the crook of his neck.
"I'm here Edward, I've got you." He murmured softly, rocking me gently. "Shhh now… It's all over."
