Paradise ch. 35
Lesson Learned
Ethan and Amelia arrived in Paradise shortly after two o'clock.
The children had wanted to skip school to come and greet them, but a firm "no" from Dakota had the last word.
"Daddy Daddy! Tess yells throwing herself into her father's arms.
"My darling! I missed you!" Ethan says hugging her.
"Dad, Dad, Dad." Tess says crying, having trouble dealing with her emotions, but it was normal.
"I'm here baby. Have you been a good girl?"
"Yes, Dad".
"I missed you Tess," Amelia said.
As Tess clung to him, Ethan asked Dakota apprehensively if the kids had behaved or if he was going to have to inflict some punishment.
After putting an exhausted Tess to bed for a nap, he told Dakota and Mary about what had happened with Allen, and the budding romance between Alec and Elisa.
"Well, did you like your time alone?" Marie asked teasingly.
Ethan laughed as Amelia blushed.
"Soon, we're taking Carry and Davy and we're offering you to enjoy a well-deserved night for two!" Ethan replies.
Dakota laughed as Marie blushed.
"Thank you, Ethan"
They received the same welcome from their other children.
"Dad! Mom! We missed you!"
"Are we going to get in trouble?" asked Joseph knowing Dakota would have told on them.
"No, I decided not to add to Dakota's punishment."
"Okay! Thanks, Dad." The children were well aware of their father's indulgence.
Ethan had brought a balloon for the boys, and a set of doll clothes that Tess, Jessie, and Carry could share.
As the days passed, Amelia grew rounder day by day.
Ethan was making his rounds in town when Mr. Axelrod called out to him.
"Sheriff Cord, a boy stole a bag of candy from me this morning."
Ethan couldn't help a smile on his lips.
"I think complaining to me is a bit much, his Dad will take care of it."
"It was Jason."
"Jason? Are you sure?" This particular son rarely needed his attention.
"Yes, I'm sure of it."
"I'll take care of it, if it's him, he will be severely punished."
Ethan crosses the street to the school.
"Hello, Mrs. Dodd. Excuse me for interrupting your class, but I need to talk to my son."
Ben stood wondering what he had done wrong.
"Yes sir?"
"No Ben, sit down. Jason? Come here."
"Yes sir."
Meanwhile, at the farm, Tess was out of control, disobedient, and rude, she was screaming.
"Tess!" That's enough! Stand in the corner!"
"No!" Tess climbed up on the chair and pushed the folded laundry onto the table on the floor.
"Go to your room! You'll see what happens when your daddy comes home."
"No!" She was crying and throwing a tantrum.
Amelia didn't usually give punishment or a spanking, Ethan handled it, he was so strict but so fair, she was very lucky.
"Sit down little boy." Ethan tells Jason having taken him back to his office.
Ethan sat down at his desk.
"Do you know why you're here?" Ethan asked.
"No Dad."
"You lost the opportunity to tell me yourself. I want to ask you about stolen candy and Mr. Axelrod, did you do it or didn't you?"
Ethan unbuckled his belt, the jingle, and seeing his gesture made Jason react.
"I beg your pardon, Dad. I took it."
"For what reason?"
"I wanted to see what it felt like to be naughty and have your attention, you're taking care of Ben, Jessie, and Joseph because they're messing around! But you don't see me!"
Jason was so wise, maybe it's true that suddenly he paid less attention to him.
"You're right. I apologize. Being good shouldn't stop us from doing things together. I'll be more careful. But the right thing to do was to come and talk to me; "Dad, I need your attention, can we go fishing, just the two of us? The kind of attention you get for messing around isn't the best idea."
Ethan sat down in his desk chair.
"Come here, my son." Ethan gestured to the spot directly in front of him, between his knees.
"No matter what your motivation, stealing is never okay."
"Yes sir."
Ethan undid his boy's pants, pulling them down to his knees, and his underpants.
He placed the child face down over his knees.
He lifted his belt and slammed it on the exposed little bare butt.
Right, right, left, left middle, middle. Ethan gave his butt all the attention the kid needed.
"Ow! Sorry daddyaaaa! I'll be good! Ahhhhh!"
Ethan looped his belt through his other hand, holding his child tightly to his belly, and applied his hand with strength and determination for the final three spankings.
"Ahhhh! Sorry Dad! I'm eight!"
Ethan thinks, So Jason has to count the nine strokes in his head, a bit like Adam.
You're nine next week I think your butt doesn't know I'm your father and I decide what you deserve!"
"Yes, Dad"
Ethan lifted his son up and straightened his clothes before hugging him.
"What are you going to do next time instead of messing around?"
"Ask you for what I need, Dad."
"Yes! Let it be time with me, my attention, a hug or a good spanking!"
"Yes sir."
After having him apologize to Mr. Axelrod, Ethan brought Jason home.
"You stay in your room my son, you didn't come home early from school to play. You are punished until morning. You will go to bed immediately after dinner".
"Yes, Dad"
Amelia told her husband about Tess' behavior this morning.
"She threw away the laundry you just folded?"
"Yes, she was wild!"
Tess was under her bed, she had slipped under when she heard her father come home.
"Tess! Come here." Ethan called.
No answer. Ethan's temper began to flare.
Tess was smart, and mischievous, although she was young, he couldn't let her behavior continue.
"Tess! I'm not repeating myself! If I have to come to get you, you'll get another bedtime spanking tonight."
No answer.
Alright. Ethan got up and walked into Tess' room.
Ethan sat up on the bed. "Tess come here." He said softly.
"No! You're going to spank me!" her voice came from under the bed
How dare she answer back!
"Absolutely, but you can also explain to me why you were so naughty with your mom."
"She wasn't doing what I wanted!"
"Tess, that's enough! You come here now!, I'm not going to talk to your mattress!"
"I'm not coming!,You are going to spank me!"
Tess had grown up.
"Do you think answering me back will help you, little girl?"
If Tess had been answering like that all day, Amelia had shown patience he didn't have.
"I want you to come out from under there and stick your nose in the corner."
"I have to pee."
"You can go, and come back to me right away."
She ran out of the room.
After ten minutes Tess was back, throwing herself into his arms.
"Sorry, Daddy!"
Ethan hugged her.
"Corner, as I told you. I'm staying here, with you."
Ethan left her for five minutes. Reflecting. He had to be firm and stern, he was limited by the number of spanks given her age. But he had to make an impression.
"Come here"
This time she obeyed and placed herself in front of him between his knees.
"First, for a week, seven sleeps, you will sleep in our room, just like when you were a baby. The upstairs rooms are for big children who immediately obey when called. If you don't obey, you can't not stay with the big ones. We will see after his seven sleeps if you can go back up, or not."
Big tears flowed, he had reached her.
"Second, it's a spanking for your behavior," Ethan told her, taking off his shoes, dress and panties, he pulled his nightgown over his head".
"Tess, your behavior is increasingly disrespectful and disobedient, when I call you, you come immediately, and you don't answer back!"
Ethan laid Tess face down on his lap, and lifted her nightgown, baring her butt. He reached up and slapped her bare butt twice, hard enough to make her cry.
He put her back in front of him.
"Look at me." She obeyed immediately.
"Third, You will respect mom, you will never throw laundry or anything else again. For the slightest disobedience, you will be spanked, immediately by me if I am there or by mom. She will keep the wooden spoon handy. If mom punishes you, you'll get the same from me when I get home. And if I have to spank you every night, I will."
He laid his daughter face down and finished the spanking, lowering his hand again, but with one final spanking, a sharp and sound blows.
"Yes Papaaa, sorry."
Ethan hugged his little girl.
"I love you, Tess, I'm your father, and it's my job to make you obey."
He carried his daughter to his room, returning to get her mattress, which he placed on the floor at the end of their bed. He also brought her doll with her clothes so that she could play.
"You will stay here, until morning. The door remains open, it is as if you were with us, you can come out to pee, or if you want a kiss or a hug. You will go to bed immediately after dinner. And as I promised you, you will get another spanking at bedtime for not coming immediately when I called you. Do you understand everything?"
"Yes Dad"
He hugged her again and left the room, leaving the door open, as promised.
It was the first time he was so harsh with Tess, but she was growing up and this behavior had to be stopped.
Ethan explained to Amelia Tess' punishments.
"You are so fair Ethan! You only gave her three slaps in the end. She is punished in our room, but not alone, make her understand that the upstairs is a privilege, not a right, finally carrying the spoon is a good idea so that she obeys me. And the fear of her father in the evening if she does not behave. I say that you are just perfect! If it was not already, I will marry you! "
Ethan laughed.
"I love you too, Amelia!"
The children came home from school, and their chores, and homework were done. Tess asked several times to come through the open door for a kiss, an apology to her mom, a hug, or a kiss to her dad. Tess wanted a lot of kisses and hugs tonight, an excuse to go out, Ethan knew it, but it wasn't really important, the punishment was there, she had understood the principle since between hugs and kisses, she went back to the bedroom. It was the main thing, she was still small to really remain punished alone in a room.
At bedtime, Ethan sat up on his bed, put Tess face down over her knees, pulled up her nightgown to reveal her naked butt, obviously no trace of the previous three blows, not even a slight pink color. Ethan gave three blows using a wooden spoon without any strength. He had in fact barely touched her, but the feeling and the fact of being on his knees had impressed the child enough that she cried. He hugged her and stayed with her until she fell asleep.
Once all the children were in bed, Amelia fell into her man's arms.
"I love you so much! With Tess in our room, am I being punished?"
Ethan burst out laughing.
"If you want to be a naughty girl, we can go to the barn for a while, like teenagers, is that what you want?"
"Yes, come on!"
