A Just Man

Ethan sat down on the bed, putting his belt aside.

"Get up and come in front of me Jessie!" The man said pointing to the space between his knees. Jessie obeyed.

"Jessie, I don't know what to do with you anymore! I may be severe, you're still disobedient, sneaky, and downright defiant! I wonder if you're not doing it on purpose to push me to the limit! Are you hoping that I will give up? This won't happen my daughter because I love you! If I have to punish you every day, then this is what I will do! Besides direct disobedience, you put yourself in danger, anything could have happened! The worst part is you bullied your brother into following you! That's nasty, Jessie! Jason thinks the sun rises in your eyes! He would do anything for you! You should protect him rather than cause him trouble!"

"I'm sorry Pa."

"Is that true or do you just tell me what I want to hear? You have superior intelligence Jessie, you are smart. I want you to use your brain to be a responsible young woman, not to harm yourself by attracting trouble! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Pa."

"Well, for the next month you will never be alone. You will obey Jason as you do with Adam, Claire, or Joseph! He will be your big brother! You will clean all the stalls in the barn with Jason tomorrow. Ben and George did it today so it's only fair for them to rest tomorrow. I never want to hear of you bullying again! That's what bothers me the most! You don't order other people to do nonsense by threatening them! It is only for this reason that I use my belt, otherwise it would have been only my hand on your bare buttocks! Moreover, after your spanking, you will spend the time in the corner that you owe me."

"Yes, Papa!"

"Turn around."

Ethan unbuttoned Jessie's dress, taking it off completely, pulled her nightgown up to her head, then removed his little girl's stockings and panties, baring her. Then turned her back to face him.

"Look at me!"

The little girl looked up.

"If I still hear of you bullying anyone, I'll spank you naked every night for a week! Do you hear me?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good! Bend over my knees!"

Ethan raised his left knee and lowered his right, which had the small buttocks lifted up for an easier target. He pulled up the nightgown, grabbed his belt, slamming it four times with noise but only a slight force, he wanted the message to pass through to her!

"Ouch! Oh! ... sorry Pa! Said the little girl, crying.

Ethan he put the belt down, delivering the other four spanks with as much force as needed for a good correction just with his hand.

"I forgive you Jessie, but you're going to have to regain my trust!" He replaced her nightgown.

"Can I have a hug now Pa? Please?"

"Come here! Said the man opening his arms! "I love you my little girl, that's why I'm so strict!"

"Yes Papa, I love you too!" The little one snuggled up against his muscular chest.

"Come on, go put your nose in the corner! I'll be back in ten minutes, if you disobey me, it's another spanking tomorrow morning when you wake up! Do you hear me?"

"Yes Pa!" And the child put her nose in the corner. Finally obedient.

Ethan came back downstairs and informed Amelia of how he had punished the children.

"I think you were fair, Ethan."

"Thanks, I think in the next few weeks I'll be giving Jessie a lot of little orders, "go up last or first, clear up, do the dishes, come here ... "I'll teach her to obey immediately. I wonder how James didn't kill her! With such a temper! I would think she was being punished every day!"

"She wasn't that sassy. I think she was scared of him. He was really on the verge of beating them! Nothing to do with the way you do it! You always punish with love, even though you must be very strict! She trusts you, maybe she's testing you to see if you'll be like James?"

"Yes, I also thought of something like that."

"Papa? Look at my drawing!" Said a small voice.

Ethan took the drawing.

"This is beautiful my dear, exactly what I wanted!" Ethan praised it. Tess had separated the sheet into three sections, drawing the fences, the chickens, even if they were just spots, and herself sticking out her tongue, every drawing was crossed out. "We'll hang it up in your room tomorrow, Jessie is being punished for now."

"Yes Papa! I obeyed this afternoon! Right Mama?" Amelia had promised to tell her father!

"Yes, she was very good, Ethan!"

"I am so proud of you Tess!" He said hugging her.

"Pa? Can I get out of the corner, now?" Jessie asked from the top of the stairs.

Ethan closed his eyes, he couldn't believe she had disobeyed again!

In ten seconds the man was at the top of the stairs, he put Jessie on his shoulder, walking towards his bedroom.

"Jessie! What did I say?" The man scolded.

"Don't get out of the corner, but I thought you'd forget me there and be an old lady standing there forever!"

Ethan had to bite his cheek not to laugh! Yes, she had a sharp mind too!

"I wouldn't have forgotten you Jessie! Ever!" He pulled the little girl back to the corner. "Here we go again. You stay here for ten minutes little girl!"

This time Ethan sat on the bed, he didn't want another challenge!

"Come here" Ethan called as her time ended.

The child obeyed and stood in front of him. After hugging her, he opened the covers and Jessie climbed into bed.

"Are you spanking me again now and we're done?"

"No sweetheart, I think you've had enough spanking for tonight. Tomorrow morning as I promised you, you come to see me and I'll spank you for your disobedience of leaving without permission."

Ethan wouldn't be harsh, just one or two hits to get his point across.

"Now you sleep! I want to hear a fly!"

"Bzzzzzzzzz" He heard from under the blanket.

He laughed quietly as he closed the door, what was he going to do with this child?

At night in bed, Amelia asked her man if his hand did not hurt!

Ethan laughed!

"No, but they're all still small, I haven't spanked that hard. I admit that worries me a bit when they all get older!"

"You should have more tools, like a paddle. Could Joseph make one? It would be a little strange making a paddle to be spanked!"

"Yes, I'd rather see with Dakota. It's a good idea, I'm limited between my hand and my belt. I'm not comfortable with a spoon or a hairbrush, not too manly!"Joked the man.

The next day after breakfast, as Ethan was finishing saddling his horse, Jessie entered the barn.

"Pa? I'm sorry I didn't stick around yesterday."

"Come here!"The man said, sitting down on a haybale.

"Jessie, I'm just checking, I'm not planning on spanking you naked this morning," he informed her.

Ethan threw the little girl down on his knee, lifted her dress to uncover her butt. He hadn't been too hard the night before, the exposed little ass was snow-white, you'd never think the child had been severely spanked! He put the clothes back on.

"I'm going to spank you now Jessie, get ready." He didn't want to surprise her.

Ethan lifted his hand and slapped lightly over his daughter's clothes.

"When I tell you to do something, you will obey me little girl!"

Then he slapped a second spank the same way.

"I love you, Jessie!"

The child began to sob on his knees, Ethan knew it wasn't the spanking, it was her heart. With a confident gesture, he lifted her up and rested her against his chest, hugging her tight!

"You are safe my child. I will punish you if necessary, but I will always be fair, I promise you! I am not James! You do not have to be afraid! No matter what you do and even when you push me to my limit! "

"I love you Pa! So much!" The child replied.

This January was also the birthdays of Adam, who would be thirteen on the twentieth, and George, who would turn six on the twenty-six.

Ethan had decided to bring Adam alone into town that day so that he could choose a present and enjoy some time together.

At the store, Adam couldn't take his eyes off a pellet gun.

"Why do you want a weapon Adam?" Ethan asked.

"All my friends have them! And Leo is only twelve! My father didn't want me to get one, neither did you! If one day you're not here, who will protect the family if no one knows how to defend themselves?"

"You have a point, but your mama knows how to shoot, I'm sure!"

"Yes, but she's a lady! It's up to the men to protect her!"

Ethan smiled, we were far from the young boy who was hitting his mother, he thought.

The man thinking about it asks "Is that what you want for your birthday? Are you sure?"

"Yes Pa! You mean ... you accept me having it?"

"Wait, calm down! I'll tell you my rules and you tell me if you accept them or not."

"Only a revolver with lead shots, I keep it locked in my room, you will only use it with my consent and only in my it out alone is forbidden! I will train you on targets. I am making a big effort for you, my son because for me a young boy does not touch a weapon for at least until he is fifteen years old!"

"I accept Papa! Thank you!" Said the child throwing himself in his arms with a huge smile!

"Look at me Adam!" The child obeyed.

"If you disobey me, test me, go behind my back or anything else to take it without permission, you'll be receiving your age with the razor strap on your bare butt! And I would sell it if that happens! Then you will not have a weapon until you are seventeen! It is a promise, Adam! Did you understand correctly?"

"Yes sir! I wouldn't, I would respect your rules! I promise you!"

"Okay! Of course, on the other hand, I could be more flexible as you grow up, if you respected me and obeyed my rules."

"Yes Pa!"

"Alright, let's have it wrapped in white wrapping paper. I hope your mother isn't going to kill me!"

Later at home, Amelia says "Ethan, you are the father, you managed well, as always, your rules are strict and your consequences too! If you think he can have it, then I trust you!"

"Thank you my dear!" Ethan said kissing her.

As they slept a few hours later, someone banged on the door.

"Who can it be at this hour of the night?" Amelia asked.

"I'll see! Stay here!" His tone of voice was non-negotiable!" Ethan took his gun.
