Difficult Situations 1

Murdock walked along the corral with Johnny.

"I beg your pardon Daddy! Are you going to punish me?"

"No son, relax, to tell you the truth, your brother suggested that I should not punish you any more. He considers that he was clear enough and that he left an impression with his belt! Do you need more? "

"No, Papa. Scott was very clear, I won't do it again, I promise!"

"Well, let me tell you, if I had been there, I would have done the exact same thing!"

"I know it sir".

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this any more. Go do your chores."

Scott sat on the bed. The little girl was facing the wall, as he had ordered her.

"Come here Samantha".

Sam immediately obeyed, how could she have been so disrespectful at eight years old?

"Sam, look at me. Tell me what happened, I read Miss Sims' note, but I want to hear your version. Iwant to know why you got mad, before I make a decision how to punish you."

His voice was severe but soft.

Sam told Scott what had happened and he listened to her patiently without interrupting.

"Sam, the part where Miss Sims says I am your father hit me in your story, I imagine how you felt it. Is that what bothered you and you exploded? "

Sam burst into tears and threw himself on Scott's neck.

"Oh Sam! "... said Scott taking her in his arms and hugging her tightly!

"You put me in a difficult position, I understand why you reacted like that, but I have to punish you, it's my job. In fact, I have been your father since the day you arrived, for everyone, but not really ... it's complicated! Your feelings are tearing you apart. Sam, look at me, I took the steps to adopt you legally, I'm waiting for the papers. I didn't want to tell you before I have them in hand. I made a mistake, your feelings must have torn you apart, I'm sorry honey. "

"Yes Scott!" she answers as she threw herself into his arms again sobbing. "Can I call you 'Daddy' then?"

"Oh Sam, is that the name you want? Well, yes, of course, I will be honored that you call me 'Daddy.' Oh my little girl!" He said hugging her.

"I understand, you must punish me, I was rude and disrespectful with Miss Sims. You should use your belt."

"Are you asking me to do that? Do you think you deserve more than my hand?" Replied Scott, surprised.

"I think so, I was hateful, I know it!"

Scott sighed.

"Sam, spanking is used to score a point on unacceptable behavior and to teach you not to do it again, right?"

"Yes Daddy" replied Sam.

"I don't want to use my belt Sam, get that idea out of your mind."

"But ... I deserve it! ..." she said softly.

"It's up to me to decide what you deserve. Come here, let's finish this," Scott turned Sam over his knees. He lifted her skirt, she was surprised that Scott did not take off her underwear. He raised his right hand.

"YOU ARE NO LONGER GOING TO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE RESPONSE AND YOU WILL COME TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS WHEN THEY ARE TOO STRONG!" He laid ... a slap of love!

"YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER, A LANCER! YOU WILL BE OBEDIENT AND RESPECTFUL EVEN IF YOU ARE ANGRY! OUR FAMILY HAS HIGHER STANDARDS OF RESPECT!

He gave a second slap of love.

Sam was sobbing and gasping, not from the force of the spanking, her father had never spanked so gently, but from the force of feelings in her heart, understanding, her father's love, security. "

"AND FINALLY, YOUNG GIRL, YOU WILL DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND WHEN YOU ARE TOLD TO COME BACK DIRECTLY, YOU DO NOT THINK OF GOING TO BATHE!"

He lowered his hand of love one last time. Leaving her to cry on his lap, then Sam straightened up and threw herself at him!

"Dad! I love you! Thanks for not spanking me hard!"

"I love you too my heart! Look at me, I think your feelings were too strong! You are eight years old! It was impossible to manage! I am an adult and I have a hard time. I think the slightest emotion on me you would have exploded, anywhere, chance wanted it to happen in class. I don't think you consciously wanted to be rude with Miss Sims. In fact, it's a bit of my fault, I let you consider myself your father, without clarifying things properly, we both knew our feelings for each other were increasing!

For homework, I bet you weren't coming more to focus and thought of something other than your feelings! I love you so much!" and the man hugged her strong and comforting.

"I love you Dad!"

"However, I will check your homework every day and you will apologize to Miss Sims."

"Yes Daddy!"

"Go downstairs and go do your chores. Do I need to tell you what I will do if you are still rude at school or elsewhere?"

"No Daddy! It won't happen again! I promise you! I'm a Lancer!" She said proudly!

"You always have been! Come on, go!" He gave her another little love swat with a kiss on her head.

Scott explained to Murdock what had happened and why he hadn't punished Sam.

"A Love spanking! I don't know if I've thought about it! I'm so proud of you Scott! You became a fair, good and honest man, you were perfect! You managed to confront this little girl's feelings. You are an excellent dad, she has a lot of luck!"

"Thank you Dad! I had a good example! I think I'm going to saddle my horse and go talk to Miss Sims. I'll just arrive when the clschool day ends."

"Of course Scott, go ahead. I'm going to get to know Samantha".

"Thank you Dad!"

"Hello Miss Sims".

"Hello Mister Lancer!" Her voice was trembling, this man impressed her!"

"Do you know why I have come to see you? I preferred to explain it to you in person."

"You came to discuss Samantha. I didn't know what to do anymore. I didn't want to spank her. I thought sending her home was best to calm us both down. Do you think I should have kept her here? Are you angry?"

Scott smiled. He had noticed her embarrassment every time he was there.

"No, I'm not angry. You reacted well at the time, I understand your frustration. But, I understand Sam too, that's why I didn't punish her."

"Okay. Did I make a mistake then?"

"I'll explain why. Can I offer you a coffee or tea at the hotel restaurant? It will be more pleasant place to speak, like a gentleman of course!"

There, Miss Sims blushes to the ears!

"With pleasure, thank you Mr. Lancer."

"Would you like coffee or tea?"

"Tea please."

Scott ordered a coffee for him, a tea and two pieces of strawberry pie that Miss Sims was looking at with envy.

The man explained why Sam reacted the way she did ..

"You told her to 'give her father the note '. I have been her father for some time now, but not yet legally, which is what she wants! I want that as well. It's already difficult to manage the wait for me, you imagine at eight!? This word designating me her father, in front of the whole class was the last drop of a vase already filled to the brim! "

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lancer."

"No, don't apologize, you didn't know. It's my fault, I should have thought that her feelings were in turmoil!, I hid from her that I was waiting for the adoption papers, to preserve her of a possible problem. I made a mistake. Finally know that she could have exploded anywhere, don't blame yourself."

"Thank you Mr. Lancer, love taps? You're a good father! She is very lucky."

"Thanks, it's late, can I drive you home?"

And there, Scott noticed that Miss Sims had turned white!

"No ... thank you, I'm going to go back to school, I still have papers to be corrected ..."

"Very well, go to school then."

He took her back to school and left.

However, having almost arrived at the ranch, a strange feeling came to him, like a discomfort. Listening to his instinct, Scott turned around and, at a gallop, went back to the school.

Like a boy, he looked discreetly in the window.

.

What he saw froze him. Miss Sims pulled a mattress out of a cabinet and set it on the floor.

He entered without knocking, he wanted to surprise her.

"Mr. Lancer I ... she didn't know what to say, there was nothing to say. She was discovered. Please don't say anything, I can't lose my job!" She sobbed!

"Don't cry, I wouldn't say anything!" He reassured her. "However, I'm not leaving you here!"

"I can't go to the hotel, I can't afford it!"

"Who's talking about a hotel? No, I invite you to stay at the Lancer Ranch as long as you need it."

"Thank you, Mr. Lancer, but what will your father and the children say?"

"Nothing to say. I offer the protection of Lancer to whom I decide. My father will only support you and the children will not disturb you, I give you my word."

She said nothing but still wept softly.

"Miss Sims, my family is rich and powerful in the region. We often offer our protection, without question, when people are in temporary trouble, or in the longer term. Let me help you, please."

Scott put the mattress away. "This will only be useful if one of your students is sick! Pack a bag and come with me." His tone was soft but firm.

"Everything I already have is in my bag, are you sure you want to help me?"

"I'm sure, trust me."

Scott hung the bag from his saddle, climbed up and reached out to help Miss Sims get behind him. She was as light as Sam. Did she even eat properly? He doubted it.

"Hang on tight."

As he galloped, he felt her squeeze him tightly in the middle. He said nothing. If that gave her some comfort, he was happy.

"Hello Miss Sims! Son."

"Hello, Mr. Lancer. "

"Dad, I offered Miss Sims protection here on the Lancer. "

"Okay son, no questions will be asked. Welcome to the Ranch."

"Thank you, Mr. Lancer."

"Go show her the room, Scott, I'll take care of your horse."

"Thank you Papa, if you don't mind, follow me Miss. Sims."

Scott showed her around the house.

"My room is next to yours, in case of problems, do not hesitate to knock. Here is your bedroom as long as you are our guest. These sheets are clean, you can put your stuff in the closet. I'll fill the tub so you can take a hot bath."

"Thank you, Mr. Lancer!" She had tears in her eyes.

"You're welcome! No need to cry, I'm happy to help you, if only I had seen it before!"

She lost the battle with tears.

"You can call me Scott, Mr. Lancer ... he's my father," he said teasingly.

"Only if you call me Evi".

"Evi?, That's a very pretty first name."

"Thank you!" She blushes.

"Your bath is ready, the towels are here and the soap is there. Take your time, there is still a good hour before the children wash themselves. I will go to find them so that they will not be surprised to see you. See you later."

"Thank you Scott, for everything, you are a good and generous man." She blushes again.

Scott smiled, raising an eyebrow.

"I can also be hard and severe!" He said with a wink.

She laughed.
