"Give me your bottom, little girl." Olivia ordered sternly.
Alex hesitated for only a split second before she obediently draped herself across Olivia's lap. Since Olivia was sitting on one of their kitchen chairs, Alex had to place her hands on the floor in front of her to balance herself with her toes on the floor behind her. She felt Olivia unhooking her bra and it fell to the floor. Olivia picked up Alex's bra from the floor and hung it on the back of her chair before turning her attention to Alex's bottom and Alex felt Olivia's gentle hand gliding across her bottom, carefully inspecting the red marks left by the wooden spoon during Alex's training session a few hours earlier that day. Olivia saw Alex's bottom clench when her finger lightly caressed a particularly sensitive mark on the center of her right cheek.
"Hmm. Well, I think this naughty bottom is pretty much spanked out for one day, but a short spanking with my hand won't do you any harm. Relax back here. Tell me again why you're getting a spanking." Olivia gently patted Alex's bottom.
"I'm not allowed to wear my panties or my bra in bed, and I wore my bra in bed after you reminded me to take it off after my training session." Alex reluctantly relaxed her bottom muscles, and suddenly realized that her doubled over position made her tender sit-spots a prime target.
Olivia raised up her strong right hand and Alex choked on a scream as it crashed down on her bottom, followed quickly by another, and another, and another. Fortunately, Olivia was a woman of her word and Alex's spanking was blessedly short. As quickly as it had started, it was over and Olivia was guiding her sobbing submissive up and into her arms to comfort and cuddle her less than two minutes later. Olivia cuddled Alex close to her heart as she gently took Alex's hand in her own.
"You can cry as much as you want to, baby. Just squeeze my hand when you're ready to listen to me." Olivia spoke kindly.
Alex indulged in her tears for a few minutes until she was mostly calm with just a few tears still clinging to her eyelashes. She let out one last whimper and then squeezed Olivia's hand, pulling back just enough to be able to look Olivia in the eye to prove she was paying attention.
"You were very brave, baby, you took your spanking like a good girl. Your spanking is over, but I'm afraid your discipline isn't over just yet. For the rest of today, tomorrow, and Sunday, you've lost your privilege of wearing any kind of clothing. If someone happens to come by unexpectedly, you can wear pants and a shirt while they are here, but other than that, you will be naked all weekend. If I catch you so much as wearing a pair of socks without my permission, you'll go back over my knee for another spanking whether your naughty bottom is ready for it or not. You can have your clothes back on Monday morning before I leave for work. Do you understand?"
"Does that mean we won't be going out all weekend?" Alex asked. Olivia had still been faithfully taking her on one short outing each day to get her used to leaving the apartment, and Alex had to admit that the thought of her daily outings with her Mistress being taken away, even for just one weekend, made her sad.
"For this weekend, you are restricted to this apartment. If you behave like the good girl I know you are, I will take you out for a late lunch when I get home from work on Monday. I'm only going in for a few hours in the morning for a meeting, so I'll be home early. Now answer me properly, do you understand?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Alex replied, earning a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"That's my good, sweet baby. Now how about we dry those pretty eyes, and I believe I owe you a rematch at scrabble. The winner gets to decide what movie we watch tonight." Olivia smiled.
Alex creamed Olivia at scrabble, and snuggled happily into Olivia's arms later that evening after dinner as they curled up on the couch to watch one of Alex's favorite movies.
"Not this again!" Olivia moaned dramatically as the movie started.
"What? It has romance, mystery, drama, suspense, comedy, everything you could possibly want. Besides, I won the game, so hush your mouth." Alex grinned.
"Sassy." Olivia playfully tickled Alex's sides, making Alex giggle.
In the middle of the night, Olivia awoke to someone shaking her shoulder.
"Huh- wha-" Olivia tiredly opened her eyes and was greeted by Alex's tear-stained face.
"Ma'am, I know I'm supposed to sleep on my mattress tonight, but I had another nightmare. Can I have a cuddle?" Alex asked with a trembling lower lip.
"Come here, princess. Good girl for waking me up when you needed me." Olivia praised as she pulled back the covers and allowed Alex to crawl in bed beside her.
Alex snuggled into the safety of Olivia's arms and sighed happily as Olivia gently rubbed her bottom to soothe her. Olivia lovingly comforted Alex for about twenty minutes and then sent her back to her mattress with a kiss and instructions to go to sleep. All was quiet again and Olivia was just drifting off to sleep when Alex again woke her up claiming that she'd had another nightmare. Again, Olivia comforted Alex and sent her back to her mattress. The third time Alex woke her up, Olivia knew that Alex was testing her and sent her back to bed with no cuddle and a sharp pop to her bottom. The fourth time Alex woke her up, Olivia sighed as she turned on the light, flung her legs over the side of the bed, and pulled Alex over her lap. She knew exactly why Alex was testing her about sleeping on her mattress tonight, and she was kicking herself for relenting and bringing Alex back to bed the last time she was supposed to sleep on her mattress and had a nightmare, because now Alex thought that if she just fussed enough, she would get her way and Olivia had to teach her that this was not the case. Alex gasped as she found herself over her Mistress's knee once again and burst into tears as she was spanked. Olivia didn't bother lecturing, knowing that Alex knew perfectly well what she had done wrong, and just wanting to get this over with so they could both go back to sleep. Once again, the spanking was short but effective. Olivia guided Alex up from her lap and guided her back down to her mattress where she pulled Alex's blankets over her and kissed her several times.
"We'll talk about this in the morning. Go back to sleep, angel. I love you."
Alex knew not to test Olivia anymore and rolled over to go to sleep.
The next morning, Olivia woke up and found Alex quietly kneeling by her feet holding a tray containing scrambled eggs, waffles, toast, bacon, coffee, and the newspaper.
"What time is it?" Olivia yawned and sat up.
"A little after nine. I thought you might enjoy breakfast in bed today, to apologize for my behavior last night." Alex blushed lightly as she presented Olivia with the tray of food and then returned to her spot kneeling by Olivia's feet.
"Well, you know how much I love room service. Thank you, baby. A foot massage would go great with breakfast in bed." Olivia smiled and motioned to her feet.
While Olivia turned to her breakfast and her newspaper, Alex obediently pulled back the covers and massaged Olivia's feet. At one point, Olivia glanced up from her coffee and smiled, thinking that Alex looked absolutely adorable kneeling there with her red bottom on display. The brunette detective hoped that they would have a calm, spank-free weekend since Alex was restricted to the apartment until Monday. Looking at Alex's bottom, Olivia decided that she would give Alex arnica after breakfast and prayed that she wouldn't have to spank Alex again anytime soon, both for the sake of Alex's bottom and her right hand.
"Here, precious, take this tray to the kitchen and then come back here to me. I'm going to take a shower, I want you to lie across the bed on your belly with your feet facing the closet and wait for me." Olivia instructed when she was finished eating.
"Yes, Ma'am."
Alex did as she was told and returned the now empty tray to the kitchen, put Olivia's plate and silverware in the dishwasher, put the newspaper on the table, and returned to the bedroom. Olivia was already in the shower, so Alex did as she was told and laid on the bed on her belly. She picked up her pillow and hugged it in her arms, wondering why she had been told to wait in this position. Alex often assumed this position when she was going to be strapped or caned, but her bottom was in no condition to be so severely punished and Alex couldn't think of anything she had done lately that would earn her a strapping or a caning. She knew she had been naughty last night, but she had already been spanked for it, and Olivia would have already told her if she was going to be punished further. Alex sighed and laid her head down on her pillow to wait to find out what was in store for her today. Olivia was always fair, Alex knew this for a fact, and she trusted that whatever Olivia decided to do to her was right.
Olivia walked out of the bathroom wearing her robe and drying her hair on a towel. She smiled when she saw Alex obediently lying on the bed as she had been told. Hearing Olivia's footsteps, Alex looked hesitantly over her shoulder to see what was going on behind her.
"Eyes forward, little one. Good girl." Olivia praised when Alex did as she was told.
Alex heard Olivia open and close the bedside table drawer and felt her sit down on the bed beside her body. Alex then felt Olivia's gentle hand rubbing her punished bottom with arnica, and she sighed in relief as the cool cream worked its magic.
"Tell me about last night." Olivia ordered as she rubbed Alex's bottom. Alex blushed lightly.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I know I was bad." Alex's lower lip trembled.
"No, you aren't bad. You are my good, sweet angel and always will be no matter how you behave. Your behavior, however, was naughty last night." Olivia corrected.
"I really did have a nightmare the first time I woke you up. The other times, I guess I just wanted to see if you would make me go back to my mattress or let me stay in bed."
"So you were testing me. Did I pass the test?"
"Yes, Ma'am. With flying colors." Alex winced.
"Good. Do you want to tell me about your nightmare?" Olivia put the arnica away, sat on the bed with her back against the headboard, and cuddled her naked submissive in her arms.
"It was after I had been locked up for a while, I'm not sure how long. There was this huge man in a wheelchair who said he wanted to buy me. I only saw him the one time because he decided he didn't want me when I bit his… you know. I'd forgotten all about him until I had that nightmare last night. I dreamt that he found me here and kidnapped me."
"Do you remember anything about him? Maybe what he looked like or any distinguishing marks?"
"He was black. He had strong arms, I couldn't breathe. Before I passed out, I remember smelling… apple pie?"
"They did a rape kit at the hospital, so they would have gotten his DNA if you bit him, but we never arrested a man in a wheelchair." Olivia went on alert, her detective senses tingling as she tried to piece together this new information, and she felt sick at the thought that maybe they hadn't managed to arrest everyone involved in Dave Kloss's illegal ring after all, which meant that her baby was still in danger.
