Olivia cuddled Alex on her lap until the blonde finally stopped crying and was merely whimpering on her shoulder with mostly dry eyes. The brunette detective was kicking herself for implementing the new rule, because Alex had just broken it and now Olivia had to follow through on her word and give Alex the consequences she had promised.
"Are you ready to come out and talk to me, baby?" Olivia noticed that Alex had her face hidden on her shoulder.
"No, Ma'am." Alex's voice was muffled.
"Why not?" Olivia had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling.
"I broke the rule." Alex replied.
"Yes, you did, I'm proud of you for recognizing that. Come on out now and let me see those pretty eyes." Olivia gently rubbed Alex's back.
Alex looked up at Olivia hesitantly, relieved to see love and patience in her eyes instead of anger.
"There you are, my beauty. Now, tell me what rule you broke so I know you understand."
"I was talking bad about myself."
"That's right. Do you remember what I said would happen every time you say something negative about yourself?"
"I have to stand in the corner for fifteen minutes with a soapy mouth." Alex's lower lip trembled.
"That's right. Let's go ahead and get it over with so you will know what to expect if there is a next time, and hopefully we can avoid a next time."
Alex reluctantly followed Olivia into the bathroom and sat on the closed toilet seat lid, watching with trepidation as Olivia prepared a cloth with soap suds, relieved that at least this time she didn't have to sit on a freshly spanked bottom.
"Open." Olivia placed a hand on the back of Alex's neck as if drawing her to her.
Alex hesitated for only a split second before she squeezed her eyes closed and obediently opened her mouth. Olivia thoroughly scrubbed Alex's mouth for several minutes until Alex was whimpering with tears beginning to stream down her face. Olivia tossed the soapy cloth into the sink, placed the bar of soap in Alex's mouth, and guided Alex to her feet. They walked back into the bedroom and Olivia led Alex over to the corner.
"Okay, into the corner with you now. Fifteen minutes." Olivia reminded her.
"Mmmhmmmph." Alex whimpered with the soap in her mouth, looking up at Olivia pleadingly.
"You're being so good, baby. I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere. Just stand here quietly for fifteen minutes, then you can rinse your mouth and I'll hold you just the same as always."
Alex reluctantly turned to face the corner and put her hands on her head. The awful taste of ivory seemed to get worse with each passing second, but she didn't dare try to spit the soap out.
"Good girl."
Olivia sat down on the bed and kept an eye on the clock. The fifteen minutes seemed to pass by very slowly for both of them, and Olivia's heart broke as Alex's shoulders began to shake with silent sobs. Finally, Alex had served her full fifteen minutes and Olivia stood up to retrieve her crying submissive from the corner.
"You can come to me now, baby girl."
Upon hearing those words, Alex turned from the corner and ran into her Mistress's waiting arms. Olivia guided Alex back into the bathroom, took the bar of soap from Alex's mouth, and kissed her forehead.
"Rinse, baby."
Alex didn't wait to be told twice, she spent several minutes rinsing her mouth with water until the awful taste was about as diluted as it was going to get, then she turned and fell into Olivia's arms.
"There, there. Such a good girl. It's over, baby." Olivia cooed lovingly. Alex hadn't made any fuss at all and Olivia was very proud.
Alex wasn't crying nearly as hard as she would have been if she had received a spanking on top of the mouthsoaping, but she still appreciated Olivia taking the time to cuddle her after the ordeal was over.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am." Alex whimpered, blinking back tears.
"I know, sweetheart. I'm not angry with you, I just want you to realize how wonderful you are and not tear yourself down. You were very brave. Can we try really hard to make this the first and last time we have to do this?" Olivia kissed Alex's forehead.
"I'll try, Ma'am."
"That's my good girl. Just relax, baby, I've got you. I'm right here."
"Ma'am, hold me tighter." Alex choked out, and Olivia lovingly obliged, cuddling Alex close to her heart.
"Such a good girl." Olivia cooed, rocking slowly until Alex fell asleep in her arms.
When Alex woke up, she was still cuddled safely in Olivia's arms. At some point Olivia had moved them out to the couch and was now holding Alex in a slightly reclined position like an infant. Olivia felt Alex stir in her arms and looked up from the file she was reading.
"You're awake. How are you feeling, sweetie?" Olivia gently caressed the side of Alex's face.
"I'm okay, Ma'am. How long have I been asleep?" Alex asked, snuggling down into Olivia's arms.
"Not that long, only about forty five minutes or so."
"Ma'am?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry I keep making you have to discipline me all the time. I promise I'm trying to be good." Alex blushed lightly with a trembling lower lip.
"Look at me, little one. You're a very good girl, and I am so proud of you. Do you remember what I told you when you were in the hospital? Remember when you spilled milk and you asked me if I was going to spank you for it?"
"You said we were starting my training over from square one."
"You were out of my care for a long time, it's going to take a little while for you to be able to remember all of your rules and feel secure enough to stop testing me, and it's okay that it's going to take a little while. You are going to make mistakes from time to time, because you're human and everybody makes mistakes. It's my job to give you consistency, structure, and follow through with consequences when you deserve them. Your only job is to be the good girl I know you are and remember that I'm strict with you because I love you and even when I have to lay down the law, I will always forgive you."
"I love you too, Ma'am." Alex smiled.
"Now, come along. It's time to get some food in your belly." Olivia lovingly patted Alex's bottom to encourage her to get up from her lap.
Alex knelt at Olivia's feet and was fed by hand as usual.
"Ma'am?"
"Take a bite, then you may speak, baby. Good girl." Olivia held up a morsel of food to Alex's lips and Alex obediently opened her mouth to receive it.
"I… I think I'm ready, Ma'am…. I would like to try… to try…" Alex hesitated.
"You can tell me, baby. What do you want to try?" Olivia gently wiped Alex's mouth for her.
"I… I want you to touch me… you know… down there." Alex blushed lightly.
Olivia considered this request as she fed Alex another morsel of food, knowing that it had the potential to go very badly very quickly if she wasn't careful. When Alex was finished eating, Olivia took her to the bedroom, removed Alex's bra and panties, and lovingly guided the blonde submissive to lie on the center of the bed with her head resting on a pillow. Watching carefully for any signs of fear, Olivia slowly climbed up on the bed and straddled Alex's body with her knees on either side of Alex's legs. She gently picked up Alex's hand and wrapped Alex's fingers around her own wrist.
"You are in complete control right now, baby angel. You put my hand anywhere you want it and tell me how you want me to touch you." Olivia said.
Alex looked up into Olivia's eyes and at Olivia's hand, glancing back and forth a few times before she took a breath and slowly placed Olivia's hand on her breast.
"Please stroke it, Ma'am."
Olivia began to gently stroke the side of Alex's breast. Alex took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes and melted into the bed beneath her. Upon Alex's next instruction, Olivia slowly circled her index finger around Alex's nipple, watching as the nipple grew hard. Alex then slowly moved Olivia's hand down her torso to her hip, giggling a little bit when Olivia's fingernails passed over her belly.
"Please massage my hips, Ma'am."
Using both hands, Olivia gently massaged Alex's hips for a while. Alex took a deep breath and placed Olivia's hand on her belly and asked Olivia to rub her belly. After a few minutes of steady breathing and gentle rubbing, she slowly moved Olivia's hand lower.
"Please stroke me, Ma'am."
Olivia's fingers easily located Alex's special spot and began to stroke her delicately with expert skill. Alex's breathing became ragged and Olivia placed her other hand on Alex's belly, listening carefully for the one word Alex could say to bring the session to an end.
"That's my good girl. Just breathe, baby. Breathe in when I stroke up and out when I stroke down. That's it. Such a good girl." Olivia praised.
"Feels so good." Alex moaned, her breathing evening out again as she did as she was told and matched her breathing to Olivia's stroking.
Olivia continued to shower Alex with praise until Alex gripped the bed sheets with both hands.
"OH! Ma'am, may… may I… ooohhhhh!" Alex moaned.
"Not yet, baby girl. Just a little longer." Olivia said.
"Ooooohhhhhhhhhh! Please, Ma'am! Please!" Alex begged a few minutes later.
"Such a good girl. Go ahead, baby." Olivia granted her permission.
"MA'AM!" Alex screamed as she exploded with an orgasm and collapsed on the bed in blissful exhaustion.
Olivia rearranged them on the bed so that Alex was cuddled in her arms, resting against her shoulder.
"That's my good girl. You did it, baby. Such a good girl." Olivia cooed, letting Alex rest against her for as long as Alex wanted to be held.
When Alex was ready to get up, Olivia helped Alex back into her bra and panties and guided her to drink a glass of water and eat a few chocolate-covered almonds.
"How do you feel, sweetheart?" Olivia inquired.
"Really good, Ma'am. I liked it, I feel tingly all over."
"I'm so glad, baby, and I'm so proud of you, you were very brave to try something new. Just remember what happens to little girls who have orgasms without permission." Olivia gently patted Alex's bottom.
"I'll be good, Ma'am, I promise."
"I know you will, baby, I was just reminding you." Olivia kissed Alex's forehead, nose, and lips.
Two weeks later, Olivia found Alex rooting through a box she had pulled out of the closet.
"What have you got there, baby angel?" Olivia asked curiously.
"Oh, hi, Ma'am. I was just looking for my contract." Alex looked up.
"Well, you're not going to find it in that box. That's just got my old yearbooks and some of my mom's stuff. Actually, I think some of your things are in there too. Your contract is in a blue binder, I always keep it in the drawer next to the sink in the kitchen." Olivia explained.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am." Alex suddenly looked fearful.
"You're not in trouble, baby. You're allowed to look through our things whenever you want to." Olivia assured her lovingly.
To prove her point, Olivia retrieved a photo album from the bottom of the box and cuddled Alex in her arms as they spent a couple of hours looking at old photos and reminiscing.
"Oh, God, my hair!" Alex laughed.
"Well, to be fair, it was the 80's." Olivia chuckled.
"I'm glad I decided to straighten it out before I went to law school. Can you imagine me showing up to a mock trial with hair like that?"
"Oh, that's nothing. Check out the hair I arrived at the Academy with." Olivia grinned, flipping a few pages in the album and they both cracked up.
"You didn't have hair like that when I met you." Alex pointed out.
"That's because one of my professors told me to either get it cut or she'd dock my grade for unprofessional attire."
"I miss my 80's hair." Alex fake pouted.
"Don't even think about it, little girl." Olivia laughed.
"A lot of things from the 80's are making a comeback."
"Not in this house they're not. I'm the boss and I say the 80's stay in the 80's."
"No, I'm the boss." Alex offered a cheeky smile.
"Oh, really? We'll just see about that." Olivia pulled Alex so that she was lying over her lap face up staring at the ceiling.
"Not again!" Alex shrieked through laughter as Olivia lifted her t-shirt.
"Yes, again, naughty girl." Olivia scolded teasingly.
"Okay, okay! You're the boss!" Alex gave in as Olivia's wriggling fingers inched towards her belly.
"Are you sure?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, Ma'am! You're the boss, you're in charge!" Alex agreed frantically.
Olivia pretended to think, lightly tracing circles around Alex's belly button with her index finger.
"Hmm. Well, okay, I'm glad we agree. But since I have you in this position anyway…"
Alex was rescued by the sound of Olivia's cell phone ringing and took the opportunity to roll off of Olivia's lap as Olivia reached for her phone to answer the call.
