Hey guys, I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone that took the time to read the first chapter, and those that left me a comment. It really does mean a lot to me.
Someone asked when I would be updating this one, and the answer is Sundays. Unless something comes up, I will be trying to regularly update this one on a Sunday. "Yes Sir" on a Monday and "Saving Stella" on a Thursday.
When I first started writing fanfic I never in a million years thought that other people would be interested, let alone follow me in three different stories. The support of you all is really appreciated and I hope that I will be able to keep you all entered and reading my fics for at least a little while longer. I'm really enjoying writing for you guys, especially this one as it deals with more of the beginning parts of the dynamic and hopefully helps people understand the road. It is never easy to give yourself fully to someone, to allow them to completely take charge and hold you to such a high standard and as I'm sure you will see during this next chapter and the next few after it, there are some ups and some downs, some highs and lows. Some times it is easy and other times you fight till the end even though you know that it is going to end badly. I'm hoping to show that even in those moments that the love and security you can feel helps and that no matter what the two consenting adults can have a happy and healthy relationship, filled with love and compassion.
So yeah, I've taken up enough of your time so without further a do here's the next one. I hope you like it, leave me a comment if you can :)
There are consequences to your actions.
Stella woke the next morning with a tenderness to her bottom she wasn't expecting. The dull ache only intensifying when she sat down at the breakfast bar, the woman wincing slightly as she shuffled uncomfortably.
"Good morning" Kelly greeted pushing a fresh cup of coffee towards her, "how are you feeling this morning?"
"Like I've sat in a bees nest" she shot back sarcastically, the man in front of her raising an eyebrow at her tone.
"I'm sorry?" He asked, his own tone telling her she may want to rethink her response.
"Sorry" she whispered her eyes diverting down to the cup in her hands. "I'm a bit tender that's all, I didn't think it would still hurt."
"That just means I did my job right." He told her winking before turning his back to her and continuing to make the breakfast he'd been working on. "Eat up" he told her pointing to the plate already sitting on the counter. "You don't want us to be late for shift."
"Not if I want to sit comfortably" she murmured under her breath, taking a sip from her cup.
"Do you wanna check that attitude you seem to have got already today Stella?" Kelly asked warningly. "Or do I need to remind you of the rules we set out last night?"
"No I'm good."
"Wrong answer." He told her pulling her from her chair and landing two sharp whacks against her covered butt. "Want to try again?"
"No sir" she corrected, her hands flying backwards to her butt.
"No rubbing" he chastised moving her hands and landing another two whacks before plonking her back in her seat. A loud hiss escaping as the pressure on her butt intensified the sting it was currently holding.
"Eat, we're leaving in twenty minutes so you best get a move on."
"Yes sir" she replied not wanting another reminder in respect when her butt already hurt. The woman cursing herself for earning another set of whacks so soon after her spanking last night.
The two of them ate quickly, Stella swallowing the last of her food with a quick swig of water before disappearing back into the bedroom to finish getting ready. The brunette not wanting to make her boyfriend wait for any longer than he needed to and certainly not wanting to make them late for work and earning herself another session.
Looking over her appearance one last time she swung her shift bag onto her shoulder and headed towards the front door, grabbing her charger and keys as she went.
"Ready?" Kelly asked picking up his own shift bag and throwing it over his shoulder.
"Yup."
"Let's get going then." He said smiling at her, the two leaving the apartment and moving down the hallway. The air around them lighter than it had been in a while, their new circumstances leaving them both with a sense of relief and certainty that neither of them had felt in a long time.
"You good?" Kelly asked after they'd driven in silence for a while, Stella seemingly lost in her own head for the most part of their journey so far.
"Huh?" She asked snapping her head round to him.
"I asked if you were good? You're really quiet?"
"I'm okay, just thinking that's all."
"Anything you want to share?"
Stella sighed slightly, the noise causing worry to shoot through the boyfriends body. His eye line diverting side ways at her when they came to the stop light.
"What's wrong?" He asked, the worry evident in his voice.
"Nothings wrong..." she started although her words did not match the energy radiating off her. "I just.. hows this going to work at the house? I mean this morning I forgot and got reprimanded straight away. Are you just going to start hauling me out of seats and slapping my ass when I don't stick to our agreement?"
"No" Kelly replied shortly, "I won't ever just haul you out of your seat. I'm not sure how it'll work but I'm sure we will figure it out."
Stella nodded gently, the firefighters gaze focused out of the passenger window.
"Hey, look at me!" Kelly ordered, the man sensing there was more to her comment. "What is it?"
"I.. I.." she sighed once more, her nerves resulting in her needing a few moments to work out what she wanted to say before opening her mouth again. After a few beats she was ready, her eyes trained on the side of her boyfriends head as the traffic started to move again. "I don't want to be spanked at the house."
"Okay.."
"I mean it Kelly.. I don't want everyone knowing." She spoke defiantly.
"They won't" he assured her, "look I know for a fact that Casey has given Dawson a few good ones at the station and no one was any the wiser. I know it's embarrassing and I understand the desire and need to keep this between us but I can't and won't say it won't happen because it might. If you break the rules at the house I'm not going to wait until we are home. Especially if your offence is right at the beginning of shift. Waiting twenty four hours to serve out your penalty won't do either of us any good."
"Kelly..."
"Stella I said it might happen. I'm not discussing it anymore.." there was a sudden firmness to his tone. The authoritative side of his personality shining through as he spoke.
"But.."
"Last chance!"
"Fine!" She huffed, the look her boyfriend shot her causing her to correct herself before she got into trouble, "yes sir."
"Just remember that no matter what I will always be as discreet as possible but it is your actions that result in consequences and if your actions result in you being spanked at the house then that will be your fault and no one else's. Okay?"
"Yes sir." She replied quietly, her focus returning to the passing buildings along their normal route to work. Neither of them saying much else until they pulled up outside the station. Kelly pulling her over for a lingering kiss before they climbed out of his car.
"Let's try and get through shift without incident yeah?"
"I'll try my hardest" she agreed grabbing his hand as they crossed the road and walked up the long drive way.
"I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled, parting ways once they were inside, the woman moving towards the locker room and in search of her friend. While Kelly headed towards the common room the man wanting to grab himself a coffee before heading to his office.
"Hey Sev" Casey greeted the truck captain already stood beside the coffee machine his cup resting on the side while he waited for the pot to fill. "How did last night go?"
"It was.. different." Kelly responded the young blonde giving him a short nod in understanding. The two men having had a similar conversation to that of their girls last night before the boyfriend and girlfriend had left. Kelly expressing the desire to maybe change the direction of their relationship in an attempt to save what they'd got during their time together in the kitchen. "We looked over the stuff I'd printed, and she agreed."
"But.."
"I knew getting her to .. well you know would be hard and it was she didn't find it easy but I wasn't expecting the emotions it sparked in me."
"What happened?" Casey asked the man curious to what exactly his friend meant. In his experience a spanking could elicit several different emotions from both the spankee and spanker. What he wasn't sure of was which of those emotions his fellow officer was referring to.
"I.. I'm not even sure how to explain it. When I first started to.. you know." He said, refraining from talking to openly especially after the conversation he and Stella had in the car. The boyfriend not wanting the prying ears of fifty one to catch on to what the two men were talking about. Matt gave him a short nod, the man understanding what he meant. "Well I felt.. turned on" he whispered, his low voice barely loud enough for Casey to hear.
"That's normal." Matt laughed lightly.
"But when she started to struggle a bit, well it was tough to keep going. I powered through but it wasn't easy, and seeing her red face from the tears was hard. Harder than I thought it would be.." he continued, his voice still barely audible as the two men started to make their way down the hallway towards the officers quarters.
"I won't lie and say it gets easier because it really doesn't, but once you start to see the benefits it kinda makes it.. you can hand out what needs giving without much thought." Matt said, his words ringing true in Kelly's head, for as hard as last night had been this morning had been easier. The man not even thinking when he'd plucked his girlfriend out of her seat and slapped her arse. The whole routine feeling very comfortable and right to him and he knew it had for Stella too. That despite the sore ass she was currently supporting she had taken a lot of comfort and security from what had happened. The woman's entire demeanour changing ever since they'd finished last night.
"I know that, this morning she got a couple whacks in warning and it was like second nature to both of us."
"You'll figure it out Sev, between the two of you, you will find what works and what doesn't. They'll be a few bumps in the road and hopefully before long you'll be so far down the path that these early days won't even be on your radar anymore." Matt told him, stepping into his office as the two parted ways.
Kelly knew what he said was true, in his hours of research he had read a fair amount about the beginnings and how the road to accountability was different for both the dom and sub, the man spending a fair amount of time researching sub and dom drops and how to prevent them, and help them if and when they happened. The man also researching the best ways to keep the submissive out of subspace and present during a punishment, the information available to him only increasing his desire to see how this would play out and he was overjoyed that his girlfriend trusted and loved him enough to agree to it. It not being lost on him how the entire thing had been his idea, and how reserved she had been when he first brought it up.
Stella waked into the locker room her eyes darting round for one person in particular, her gaze landing on her within seconds. The brunette stood by her locker laughing with Brett, the two seemingly oblivious to anyone else in the room.
"Hey" she greeted timidly, the firefighter unsure of what reaction her friend would have with her today. After their conversation yesterday evening it was clear to her that Gabby was expecting more from her, that she was expecting Stella to expect more from herself and that she had meant every word she said about her needing to clean up her act.
"Stella hi." Brett smiled back instantly, "you're earlier than usual for shift."
"Yea, err Kelly drove us both today." She told the blonde, her feet shuffling nervously underneath her.
"Are you okay?" Brett asked sensing the nervous energy coming off her.
"Yeah I'm fine, why?"
"You just seem a little.. nervous."
"I'm okay, I was just wanting a quick word with Dawson if possible?"
Gabby nodded, the paramedic indicating for her partner to give them a few minutes. "We'll meet you in the briefing room" she told her.
They both stood watching as Sylvie made her way out of the locker room, Stella glancing round to make sure they were completely alone before turning back to her friend. "So erm, I just wanted to apologise again for yesterday. I know I said I was sorry last night but I just wanted to make sure you knew that I really mean it. And I'm going to change the way I've been acting, I'm going to step up as a person, a friend, and an aunt."
"I know you're sorry Stella, if anything the conversation we had yesterday showed me just how much you mean it. But being sorry and meaning it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to change the things you've been doing. So you've got to understand that as much as I accept your apology I'm still sceptical about if you intend to stop this downhill spiral you've been on recently. And I get it I do. Trust me more than most people I understand what you are going through. But I stand by what I said last night if your actions continue to have a negative effect on my daughter than I will not hesitate to stop you coming anywhere near her."
"I know, I do and I'm going to do everything I can to earn your trust back, yours and Casey's."
Gabby shook her head, "it's not just ours you need to earn back Stella, it's everyone under this roof. It's the trust of the three year old that doesn't know if Auntie Stella is going to turn up when she promises to or if she's going to be in any fit state to play with her. It's Kelly's!"
"I know" the taller woman mumbled, a single tear running down her cheek. She knew she'd messed up, she had messed up so badly and it was going to take more than an apology and a spanking for people to begin to see that. "I'm going to prove it to you all I promise."
Gabby nodded, pulling her friend into a warm hug. "Okay then." She said finally letting go and turning back to her locker. Stella moving towards her own and inputting the code to open the door, both women wanting to put their things away before they ran late for the morning briefing.
"Did you and Kelly chat last night?" Gabby asked closing her own locker up and walking towards Stella's, her body weight leaning up against the still open door.
Stella nodded her head slowly, the sheepish look that crossed her face telling Gabby that much more than talking had taken place between the couple.
"I'm taking it that you have entered an agreement?"
Again Stella nodded, her cheeks flushing bright red at the realisation that at least two other people in this house knew what Kelly had administered last night.
"Alright then, in that case I'm sure you've already paid for your misdeeds. So let's start today with a new slate okay? Whatever happened before today is wiped clean, no hard feelings, no need to apologise for it again."
"Thank you" Stella whispered, her voice barely registering as she spoke.
"Nothing to thank me for." Gabby smiled squeezing her arm reassuringly. "Now come on before we're late. You know how Boden gets if he's kept waiting."
"Yeah" Stella agreed locking her locker back up. "And Kelly won't be too happy either." She added with a small smile.
The two women understanding her meaning as they walked towards the conference room.
The room was already full when they walked in, everyone's conversations pausing momentarily as they took their seats. Stella opting to sit near the paramedics of sixty one this morning instead of her usual seat amongst the firefighters of truck. Gabby sensing it was more to do with the way she was fidgeting in her seat than anything else.
"Okay everyone!" Boden announced as he walked into the room. "I'm glad to see we are all on time today." He's eyes scanned the room, lingering for a moment on the driver of eighty one. "I won't keep you long, there's a few things you need to know before we start today. I've had a call from CPD and they've informed me that there is a bad batch of narcotics going round that seems to be landing a fair amount of youths in the hospital. So sixty one you need to be extra vigilant today. First shift had three overdoses in the space of an hour last night. Any sign of something being off you wait on backup. Am I understood?"
"Yes chief" both Gabby and Brett answered, the two sharing a concerned glance at each other, both the paramedics sensing the day was going to be a long one already.
"Also" Boden continued, "we have an inspection coming up next shift, the brass want to make sure that all the houses are up to code since the recent closures. So everyone is to muck in and get this house shining when we have down time today."
There was a low hum of discontent followed by a few reluctant nods of heads. No one liked it when they had to do a full clean up, but at uncertain times like this they knew they had no choice. It was either bite the bullet and do it or risk the brass deeming them an unsatisfactory house and risking closure.
"And my last note for the day, Hermann, Severide, Casey and Dawson!"
"Yes chief?" The four officers rounded off, all their eyes focused solely on the head of the house.
"The inspectors will be looking at all our write ups from all our calls and rides out. So make sure everything is up to date and ready to go please."
"Yes chief." They all agreed, the foursome knowing that the majority of their day was going to be spent catching up on their paperwork, making this shift a long one already.
"Okay then, let's have a good shift and let's all go home tomorrow in one piece." Boden finished up, the room filling with the scrapping of chairs as everyone moved towards the common room to grab some breakfast and coffee.
"Kidd!" The chief said as she walked past, the woman stopping immediately. "A word please in my office?"
"Yes chief" she answered, sharing a worried glance with her boyfriend, the two having a silent conversation as she walked past.
"Close the door" he told her the minute they got into his office turning to face her. "Anything you want to tell me about your last few days?"
"Erm, no chief." She answered unsure as to why he was asking about her down days.
"You sure? Because I had a very interesting conversation with sergeant Voight this morning. Something about you and some friends of yours being mixed up with the dealers of those drugs that are taking down the kids?" His voice was dangerously low, the mans gaze piercing straight through her as she tried to think what to say.
"It's true chief that I was at the club the other night with a friend of mine and that the police believe one of her friends is the dealer. But he isn't a friend of mine. I swear."
Boden nodded his head in understanding the chief ready to ask his next question but just as he opened his mouth to do so there was a knock at his door. Stella swung round to see Severide stood outside, the chief waving him in.
"What can I do for you lieutenant?"
"I was just curious as to what you wanted with Stella chief.." he answered, his eyes looking between his girlfriend and boss.
"I'm okay Kelly." She reassured him with a gentle smile, "chief was just asking me about my involvement with the CPD investigation and my knowledge of the dealer."
"She's already given her statement" Kelly said firmly, his eyes focused on the older man.
"I understand that Severide but I just wanted to hear it for myself." He was met with a short nod from the squad lieutenant, the man seemingly satisfied with the reasoning behind his questions.
"Stella one last thing before I dismiss you?" Chief said when it became clear that Severide was happy.
"Yes chief?"
"Have you been partaking in drug use?"
Stella didn't know what to say or how to answer, the firefighter knowing if she lied and got caught it would be a lot worse for her. She also knew that the chief probably already knew the answer to his question. "Yes chief, but I'm clean I promise. I've stopped, I'll take a test to prove it if needs be."
"That won't be necessary" he told her holding his hand up to her. "But you are to hand the keys to truck over for the time being. Matthews will drive until further notice."
"But chief.."
"Stella no" he said holding his hand up again, "I'm sure you are aware by now that there are consequences to your actions and today this is the consequence. Until you are at least thirty days clean you will not be driving the truck. Am I clear?"
"Yes chief" she nodded, her eyes focused on the floor.
"Good, you are dismissed."
She moved slowly out of the room, Severide moving closely behind her as she made her way down the hall and into the bunk room. She didn't want to hand the keys over, she'd been so happy when she'd got given them, she felt like she'd earn't the right to drive. And to have that taken away because of her actions was infuriating to her.
She knew the chief had no choice, not really. She'd just confessed to using drugs. His hands were all but tied but it didn't stop the way it stung.
Stopping at her bunk she punched the pillow several times over before collapsing down face first. The tears that had been brimming in her eyes finally falling free as her anger and sadness all flowed out.
"You okay?" Kelly asked sitting down beside her.
"Peachy" she replied sarcastically, lifting her head only to exaggerate her eye roll. The action earning her a single swat across her up turned bottom. "Hey!" She yelped in shock.
"Wanna try your answer again?" He asked with a raised brow.
"Sorry, I can't believe I'm being demoted. I earn't the keys Kelly. I'm the rightful driver of eighty one."
"Yes but it is also a privilege and I told you last night that they can be revoked pretty easily. It would appear the chief agrees."
Stella shot him an annoyed glare, she knew he was right. Man why was he always right! "I know and I know it's my fault but it really fucking sucks."
"Language" he warned.
"Sorry it sucks" she corrected not wanting to be on the receiving end of his hand again. "Thirty days is a long time."
"It is" Kelly agreed "but you can do it and before you know it you'll have those keys back. All you have to do is keep your nose clean and behave. Like the chief said there are consequences to your actions, but there are also rewards when your actions are good and right. Maybe if you prove to chief you are changing and are cleaning up your act you'll get them back quicker. But you've got to earn that trust and right back. And I know you can do it." He told her kissing her head. "Now shall we go join the others. Gabby was asking after you."
"Okay, thank you."
"What for?"
"Making me feel a little better about having to give Matthews these." She said showing him the keys.
"Come on, it's not going to be that bad I promise."
"Yeah let's hope not."
"Stella come on we're going to be late." Kelly shouted across the apartment, the man waiting impatiently by their front door.
It was a little after six in the evening and the couple were expected at a benefit event with the rest of the firehouse. The couple had been running late from the moment they woke up from their nap, the nap that Kelly suggested to try and alleviate the mood that Stella had been walking round in since yesterday morning, since chief had told her to hand the keys to truck over and although he understood why she was upset his patience with her was beginning to thin. The nap seeming to have had the opposite effect to what he had been hoping, his girlfriend waking up more snappy and irritable then before they'd climbed into bed.
"Stella!" he yelled again.
"God Kelly I'm coming, keep your hair on." She told him rolling her eyes as she walked across the apartment. "See I'm ready!" she snapped stopping in front of him, "let's go."
"The only place you're going right now is over my knee" he said spinning her round and pushing her towards the dining table.
"What? Why?"
"Because I am fed up of your attitude and it's not going to continue" he told her, sitting down on the chair before pulling her into his lap. The mans hand coming down sharply against her up turned bottom.
"Ouch" she shouted loudly, her legs kicking behind her as she tried to wriggle free.
"I told you before Stella, there are consequences to your actions and I also told you to lose this persistent bad attitude you have become accustomed to. You can't respect people if you speak to them the way you just did me. I know you're upset and annoyed about losing the keys to truck, and with them your driving privileges but the only person you have to blame is yourself." He chastised bringing his hand down all the time, her bottom getting hotter and hotter as his force increased. He paused only to flip her dress up, her barely covered bottom already glowing red underneath the thin material. Her underwear not covering much and certainly not giving her much protection against his strong hand.
"I'm not upset" she squealed, "I'm pissed off... OUCH, what the fuck Kelly"
"It's sir and you will lose the bad language unless you want the taste of soap in your mouth all night as well as a sore butt."
"Fuck you" she shouted.
Kelly sighed he knew this wasn't going to be easy, that getting her to submit fully was never going to be an instant thing but he never expected to be taking her in hand so many times in such a short space of time. This being her third full spanking since they made the agreement two nights ago. Her second coming shortly after they got back from a call yesterday afternoon. Kelly hadn't been on the call himself, squad not being needed but he knew instantly that something had gone wrong when he witnessed her being chewed out by the trucks captain over her actions as soon as they'd exited the truck upon their return, and although he would usually have just let Casey deal with it, he couldn't allow her to speak to him in the way she had after he finished. The clear disrespect and discontentment in her voice causing him to jump up from the squad table and ask for a word with her. The man giving his fellow officer a quick nod that told him that he'd be dealing with this from now on. And although she'd taken that spanking better than he expected he couldn't help but think that at least some of her attitude today had come from her being held accountable while on shift.
"Stand up" he ordered stopping his actions.
"Fuck you" she spat again, standing up while her hands instantly shot to her sore bottom.
"No rubbing Stella, you know the rules. Now come here" he said grabbing her upper arm and dragging her towards the bathroom. "Where's your hairbrush?"
"Why?"
"Answer the question?"
She could tell he was beginning to lose his patience, that no matter how mad he had seemed a few minutes prior he was about to get a whole lot madder if she didn't at least try to submit to him.
"In the bedroom" she whispered, a sharp slap landing against her ass before she corrected herself. "In the bedroom sir."
"Better! Go get it and come straight back"
"Yes sir."
Kelly watched her walk away, the slight grimace on her face letting him know that the evening was going to be an uncomfortable one for her and while he hated the thought of her in pain, especially when that pain was because of him he knew they were no where near finished yet. Sighing to himself he searched the cabinet for a fresh bar of soap and wash cloth, he had meant what he had said when he warned her about her potty mouth. He didn't like her swearing and he certainly didn't like it when it was directed at him.
Placing the items on the side he waited for her to reappear, the man aware that she was probably dragging her feet more so now that she knew what he was intending to do.
"Stella?" he called.
"I'm coming" she yelled, a tone to her voice that told him she hadn't quite lost that attitude yet.
"Now Stella" he warned.
"Here, god give me a chance to move before screaming at me."
"Stella are you seriously going to continue with this attitude after what you just got and what you know is coming? Do you really want to push me and see how far I'm willing to go? Because trust me if this continues, the consequences are going to be so far from your liking you're going to wish you stopped while you were ahead."
"Whatever" she said rolling her eyes again.
"Go and stand in the corner now!" he shouted, his temper finally giving out.
She stood frozen, the harsh tone to his voice alone letting her know that she had pushed too hard, that she had indeed taken the testing of limits past where he was going to allow tonight and what that meant for her she wasn't sure but she knew it was going to be uncomfortable.
"Stella I told you to do something, you are in enough trouble as it is, I suggest you don't keep defying me unless you want to make it worse."
"Yes sir" she nearly whispered moving out of the doorway and back into the main area of their apartment, her movements were slow and remorseful, her slumped shoulders giving off the signs that she was indeed regretting her decision and that she would give anything to go back twenty minutes and do things differently.
He watched her as she positioned herself in the corner, her nose to the cold concrete just how he had instructed her the first time she had been sent there. How he wished she hadn't forced his hand tonight, as much as he knew she needed this, that they needed this, the thought of him being the cause of her pretty face being stained with tears made him feel like the worst man in the world. The look of pain she was going to give him every time she sat down tonight would only be a further reminder to him of what he was about to do. Kelly sighed to himself as he battled with his emotions, the boyfriend wishing there was any other way to deal with what had just transpired, he could ground her, tell her that there would be no drinking permitted for her tonight, sure he could start there, at least then she'd be able to sit comfortably throughout the evening. But would it deter her, would him telling her she was forbidden to do something actually change the outcome? That was a question he didn't know the answer to, he wasn't sure what she would do if he forbade her, having never given her an order like that there was no way to tell how she would react. Whether it would just make the situation worse, they were still in the learning phase of this, the evening already showing him that they had a awfully long way to go in regards to compliance. He wasn't sure she was anywhere near ready to take that kind of instruction and stick to it, that she would think of the consequences before acting on impulse. Then there was the dealing with the punishment he'd already alluded to for her, the hairbrush spanking and the soaping for the repeated swearing not ten minutes ago. He knew from his research and conversations with Matt that he had to follow through with that, that if he didn't she would see any future warnings as empty threats.
"Stella come here" he ordered, finally making up his mind about what to do.
She turned and walked towards him, tears already settling in her eyes. Her head bowed towards the floor as she came to stop in front of him, shame radiating of her body as he saw all earlier signs of defiance gone.
"What was that all about?" he asked gently.
"I don't know" she answered quietly.
"Pardon?" Kelly asked, waiting to see if she could see what was wrong with her answer.
"I don't know sir" she corrected, her eyes still not meeting his.
"We spoke about following orders did we not?"
"Yes sir"
"And swearing?"
"Yes sir."
"And what about being late for commitments?"
"Yes sir" she responded again, a slight grimace crossing her face at the realisation that she had broken several of their rules all at once suddenly washed over her.
"Okay, so if we've spoken about them and you know what I expect from you on those matters, why did you try and test my patience? When you knew it was already wearing thin?"
"I didn't think sir, I was mad."
"I know you were Stella, and we've already spoken about why that is okay. Why you not being happy about losing the keys was fine, but also how you couldn't take that anger out on everyone around you. Did I not make myself clear at the firehouse when you cussed out Casey?"
"You did.."
"Then why did you just cuss me out in the same way?"
She shook her head, not trusting herself to speak as the tears threatening her eyes began to spill out.
"Answer me please?"
"I..I... I needed to see if you meant it." she whispered, the girlfriend finally admitting to him her reasoning. It wasn't that she enjoyed being spanked because she honestly didn't, it hurt, a lot and she knew getting spanked so soon after her latest one was going to hurt even more, especially now she'd earn't strokes with the brush on top of what she'd already received. But a part of her needed to make sure that he had meant what he said to her, that he would follow through with even the worst parts of disciplining her. And if that meant she needed to keep pushing and pushing until he snapped then that was what she had decided she would do. Although now she thought about her motives more, she was beginning to really regret them. Her ass hurt a lot already and she knew it was only going to get worse after whatever he had planned next. Hindsight was as always a beautiful thing, if only she had thought about her actions more before losing control of her anger earlier, they'd already be at the benefit enjoying themselves, instead of now being late and neither of them enjoying the events that were evolving.
"So you were testing me, to what? See if I meant my agreement to this?" He asked waving his hand around in the air to further make himself clear.
"Yes sir" she whispered her foot shuffling backwards and forwards in front of her.
"Well I did mean it, I do mean it and you're about to learn just how much I am willing to commit to this. I hope you like standing up Stella because it's about to become the only position you're comfortable in."
"Yes sir" she murmured again.
"Lets go" he said firmly grabbing her by the upper arm and leading her back into the bathroom. "Sit" he instructed pointing to the closed toilet lid.
"I'm sorry Kelly" she whispered, sitting her sore behind down. It really hurt to sit and the hard plastic surface was only making it worse.
"I know, but your not half as sorry as you're about to be. Open"
Stella opened her mouth as the now wet and soapy wash cloth made its way into her mouth, Kelly ensuring he got a good amount of suds on her tongue and teeth. The woman before him gagging slightly at the taste. She wasn't altogether sure how long he continued to rub the cloth around her mouth, all she knew was the longer he did the worst the taste got.
"Bite down on this" he told her, removing the wash cloth and replacing it with the bar of soap.
She shook her head from side to side clamping her lips tightly together, her mouth already had a vile taste in it, there was absolutely no way she was going to hold the whole bar in there.
"Stella" he warned, "either you do as you're told or I'm going to spank you, then put the soap in your mouth and spank you again. But if I have to do that we won't be using my hand or the brush."
Her eyes widened at the threat, he didn't need to tell her anymore than that she already knew what he was alluding to and she didn't want to experience it, not tonight not ever. Opening her mouth once more she allowed him to place the bar between her lips, the woman biting down as instructed.
"Stand up and bend over the tub, I'm going to spank you with the brush for your language and then we're done. But fight me and you will get extras do you understand?"
She nodded her head at him while positioning herself over the tub. The cold air making her flinch when he lifted her dress up and around her waist, the man slipping her underwear down to her knees before tapping the cold wood against her.
WHACK WHACK WHACK
"Ouch" she shouted, the bar of soap slipping out of her mouth. Kelly didn't say anything, he just reached into the tub and placed it back in her mouth before bringing the brush down several more times until her ass was glowing a deep crimson. He wasn't counting how many he had landed, the man deciding that he would go with her reactions instead of giving her a set number. He knew that Matt and Gabby had clear rules on that, that they had set numbers for certain indiscretions but it didn't feel natural for him to do the same. Not now anyway, for now he needed to learn her limits, they needed to learn the limits together so for now he would spank her until he sensed she'd learnt the lesson, no matter how long or short that time meant was required.
Her body slumped in front of him, the firefighter knowing she was only holding the position because she was no longer fighting him, the small whimpers letting him know she was nearing her breaking point, he decided to wrap it up, landing four tremendously hard swats against each cheek before stopping. His hand moving to the small of her back as she sobbed quietly.
"You can let go of the soap now" he told her, watching as she spat it into the tub. "Are you okay?"
"Yes" she nodded, the tears making her voice come out as a choked sob. "I'm sorry."
"I know baby, I know you are." He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his lap gently and waiting until she'd fully calmed down. He knew they were beyond late for the benefit now, that they were sure to get some questions about what had made them so. But he also didn't care, right now his only priority was making sure she was alright, making sure that what had just happened closed the chapter to that disagreement and that it was something that wasn't going to be repeated any time soon.
"Hey guys" Stella greeted coming to stop beside the ladies of fifty one, "what's new?"
"Nothing much" Brett answered, the blonde flashing her friend a wide grin. "You and Kelly are a bit late aren't you?"
"Yeah, we had.. we got caught up" she replied, reaching out and grabbing a glass of wine from the bar.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah everything's good, just something unexpected came up and we had to sort it out before heading out. But it's all good, we're both good." She told her taking a sip of her wine, the brunette scrunching her nose up at the weird way it tasted. "Can I have some water please?" She asked the bartender.
Gabby raised a brow at her friend, the reaction to the wine not going unseen by her. "Stella?" She questioned the older woman not having to say much to make her question known.
"I'm good, promise" she responded flashing a small smile at her. "The wine just tasted funny that was all." She reached out to take the water from the bartender, thanking him as she took a long swig, rolling the liquid around in her mouth in an attempt to rid herself from the taste still settled on her buds.
Gabby watched her carefully, the paramedic sensing there was a lot more to the excuse she'd given for being late. She knew the signs of a punishment served, especially a soaping and her friend was exhibiting all the tell tale signs tonight but she didn't get a chance to question it further as they were all called to take their seats. Stella hoovering for a few minutes before reluctantly making her way over to fifty ones table.
She was happy to see the chairs were cushioned a little as she pulled hers out and prepared herself for the ache she knew she was about to feel. The ride over here had been fairly unpleasant, the woman almost positive she was supporting a few bruises on her most sensitive spots, her tanned backside making sitting down an extremely uncomfortable experience.
She caught Kelly's eye as she lowered herself down into her allocated seat, her lips parting slightly as a low gasp escaped. The firefighter quickly brushing it off as to her having some aching muscles after her gym session this morning when she was met with questioning stares from the guys round the table.
If anything her reaction to sitting only confirmed Gabby's suspicions her friend had indeed been late because she had been having her seat warmed, and by the looks of how uncomfortable her friend was right now she was positive she'd had it warmed pretty well.
"You okay?" She whispered leaning over so only Stella could hear her.
"Just a bit sore" Stella responded, giving Dawson a knowing look.
"How many times?"
"Pardon?"
"How many times since making the agreement?" She clarified.
"Tonight was the third. I've had a few warnings but three proper."
"And?" Gabby asked with a raised brow.
"What?"
"Is it sinking in yet?"
"Clearly not quickly enough" Stella responded sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
"I wouldn't let Kelly hear you speak like that!" Matt spoke, the man suddenly beside them.
"Hey captain."
"Hi" he responded, before turning his attention to his wife. "Do you need anything? Water? Something to eat?"
"I'm good thanks baby." She said pointing to her half full glass of water.
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything."
"I will" she promised flashing him a small smile. Her attention returning to her friend next to her. "It gets easier I promise."
"What the doing as I'm told or the feeling of sitting on a bee hive?"
"Both!" Gabby chuckled, she remembered this phase well, the early days of learning to obey being the hardest and although she knew that the learning time was different for everyone she hoped it wouldn't take to much for her friend to start doing as she was told. If she knew anything about Kelly Severide, it was that he was not someone you wanted to completely piss off. He was nothing but short on temper and when it flared it really flared.
