Ally and Jake (11 page)

“This is our nursery, where the small babies are kept. I see Haley wears diapers?”

Seth nodded. “She does, but the nursery won’t be necessary, she’s best to stick with Ally.”

“Ally has training pants on today,” Jake interjected. “But she knows to tell you when she needs to go.”

The woman nodded and continued with the tour. “This is our inside play space and also serves as our nap room. The children have an hour long nap each afternoon at 2pm, and over here we have our punishment room.”

She pushed open the door and the sound of a paddle hitting flesh immediately reverberated throughout the room, this was followed quickly by a loud wail. Down one end of the room a boy/man was lying over a high stool, his legs wide apar
t and his buttocks bare. An
older woman stood behind him, a large paddle held in her hand. Slowly she raised her hand to bring it down on the boy
’
s quivering buttocks.

“We usually hold the girls over our laps, but the boys need to go over the stool. So, any questions?” She turned to the men, ignoring the boy’s wails from behind her. Ally and Haley jumped with each sound of the paddle hitting the boy
’s buttocks
and they turned to their daddies, clinging to them like limpets.

“Now, now, enough of that.” Mrs Adamson briskly took hold of their
hand
s, and with a strength that belied her age, led them away out of the room and down the corridor. “We’ll see you tonight,” she called back to the two bemused men who watched them leave.

“Well,” Jake turned to Seth. “I guess we better go.”

Seth just shook his head. “I have a bad feeling about this
my friend
.”

“I know. Me too.”

“I hate this place,” Ally muttered as she played beside Haley in the sandpit. Haley looked over longingly at the swings and slides where the other kids played.

“Me too,” she said kicking at the sand.

“You can go play, Haley,” Ally said generously.

“Nuh-uh, those kids are mean
,
”
Haley said.

“I know. They called me a cry-baby
,
”
Ally said.

“They called me a pee-baby.”

Haley and Ally looked at each other and shared a brief grin. The trouble had all begun at lunchtime when Ally refused to eat her lunch. In front of all the other kids
,
one of the minders had pulled her over her lap,
tugg
ed down her training pants and begun spanking her. By the end of the spanking Ally was
sobbing,
sore and totally embarrassed, and once lunch had finished and they’d gone back out to play
,
Haley and Ally had gone from the ‘new kids’ to the butt of everyone’s jokes.

“Why don’t we just sneak away?
” Haley whispered to Ally. Ally looked over at her in shock.

“How?” she asked.

“We wait for a moment when everyone is busy and then we sneak off. Then we’ll sneak back before our daddies come to pick us up. It’ll be perfect.”

It sounded perfect.
Ally nodded. “Okay.”

Their moment came quicker than they thought. One of the children threw something at another child and soon there was a big figh
t going on.
A
ll the minders rushed in to help
. No
one saw Haley and Ally sneak away and climb over the fence, or so they thought. One little boy saw them leave but decided to hold his tongue for the moment. After all, it was no fun if
they got caught straight away.

“We’re lost,” Haley said as she flopped down on the ground.

“Uh-huh,” Ally agreed as she flopped beside her. “Why’d we decide to play in the trees?”

“Seemed a good idea at the time,” Haley said. They’d wandered into the
forest
looking for the best place to set up a tree house; unfortunately they’d wandered too far and now had no idea where they were.

“Think our daddies know we’re gone?” Ally asked, starting to feel a little frightened.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been lost before, Daddy always finds me,” Haley’s voice was totally confident and Ally clasped her friend
’s hand
as they sat in a patch of sunlight. But that small patch soon disappeared as evening hit and both girls grew more tired, cold and scared.

It was just as Ally was starting to get seriously scared that she heard it. “Someone’s calling my name.” She nudged at Haley who’d been snuggling into her for warmth.

“Huh?”

The noise came again. “Here!” Ally called loudly. “We’re over here!”

Both girls stood up now and begun yelling. The voices grew closer until two men in police uniforms crashed through the undergrowth. Ally had never been so pleased to see someone in her life.

“Well, little girls, you have two very upset father’s looking for you,” the older policemen spoke firmly, his face strict as he wrapped his jacket around a shivering Haley before taking hold of her hand. The younger policeman did the same to Ally before both men led the shivering girls out of the forest to their waiting vehicle.

Soon the girls were in a warm office, sipping hot cocoa and waiting for Seth and Jake to collect them. W
hen the two men
finally burst through the door of the waiting room Ally and Haley burst into immediate tears and jumped into their arms. Neither Ally nor Jake knew who was shaking the most, or who was the most relieved.

“You are in such big trouble, young lady,” Jake said quietly as he clasped her even closer and carried her from the room.

*****

Ally
woke and stretched confused by the tenseness of her muscles.
T
hen it all rushed back, she and Haley sneaking away, getting lost in the forest and then rescued by the policemen, then Jake bringing her home and bathing her before putting her to bed and holding her close all night long.

She’d fully expected a spanking when she got home, but she should have known that Jake would sense her exhaustion. Still, she was sure she had a whopper coming to her this morning.

“Morning, baby,” Jake walked into the room carrying a tray of food. Ally sat up as he put it across her lap.

He kissed her forehead, running his fingers down her cheek. Ally leaned into his caress. He then sat beside her, looking down at her sternly.

“Want to tell me why you ran away yesterday?” he asked seriously.

“Shouldn’t you
be at work?” she asked him
instead of answering.

“I took the day off to deal with something far more important. Now talk, miss.”

Ally sighed. “Haley and I hated it
at creche
, one of those awful women spanked me in front of everyone and then all the kids picked on us! We were just going to leave for a while.”

Jake’s eyebrow rose. “What? Until Seth and I picked you up?”

Ally nodded reluctantly.

“Why’d you get spanked, kid?”
he asked.

Ally stared down at her lap and the half-eaten piece of toast resting on the plate. “I wouldn’t eat my lunch.”

“Oh, Ally,” Jake sighed before moving the tray aside and pulling her onto his lap. “You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?”

Ally nodded, tears rolling down her face. “I need to see a shrink.”

“Yes, but what if I find us one who understands our situation, will that make you feel better?” Ally looked up into his handsome face, smiling through her tears.

“Thank you,” she said clasping him close in gratitude.

Jake held her close for a while and rocked her. “We still have a punishment to deal with, sweetheart.”

Ally stiffened, but he gave her no time to protest as he
turned her over so she was lying on her stomach over his lap. He
pulled down her panties to expose her tense
buttocks. His hand landed in a rapid flurry that soon had her squi
rming and wriggling around.

“Please, no, no more
,
”
she cried out.

“Oh, I don’t think you’ve had enough quite yet.”

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Jake
didn’t stop until her bottom was
a flaming mass, painful and red and she was sobbing heavily.

Standing her up, he grabbed her hands to stop her from rubbing the offended orbs. “Go and stand in the corner
,
Miss Ally
,
and th
ink about your poor behavior.
I want a very sincere apology when I call you back
over here.
Now get yourself into the corner and stay there.”

When he called her back over from the corner Ally was feeling
awful
about how she’d worried Jake
. S
he walked back to the bed slowly; her head down, her shoulders slumped.

“Hey now,” Jak
e said gently, his hand grasping her chin softly so he could push her face up and peer down at her intently. “What’s wrong, baby-girl?”

“I-I’m sorry I w-was so na-naughty Daddy,” she so
bbed
, tears beginning to run down her face.

“Hey, shh, shh,” Jake drew her onto his lap and rocked her softly. “I know you are, baby.” He kissed her forehead softly. “
But you know that no matter how much you misbehave I am never going to leave you or hurt you, right?
”

Ally
nodded
. At the start of their relationship she’d been so good, had been so afraid of riling his temper, of what he might do to her. Now, her playful side had come out, because she knew no matter what she did he would never hurt her and he would never stop loving her.

“You’re a
smart
man, Jake.”

“’Bout time you realised that, mi
ssy,” he drawled, winking
. Suddenly he clasped her close, holding onto her tightly. “That doesn’t mean that you are ever allowed to scare me like that again, you hear? I know you’re resourceful and smart, but when it got dark and we couldn’t find you…”

Suddenly Ally found herself comforting him, their roles reversed as she rocked him gently. But it wasn’t long until he stopped shaking and had her lying on her back on the bed. An opened diaper lay under her and with tender hands he applied cream and powder to her bottom and privates before fastening the diaper around her.

Ally was silent throughout, sensing that he didn’t wish to speak right now. A binky was popped into her mouth before he gathered her up into his arms.

“I need the security of having you close to me for a while, baby-girl,” he explained softly as he carried her out of the bedroom and down to the study. “And I think you need it to.”

Ally didn’t reply but merely sucked on her binky harder, her head nestling into its
favor
ite spot between his chin and shoulder.

“Good girl,” he said softly bef
ore sitting her on her padded botto
m on the floor. “Now you play while I do some work.”

As he turned away Ally pulled the binky from her mouth.

“Daddy?” she asked.

“Yes baby?” he turned back to look at her.

“Thank you for loving all of me.”

“Thank you for letting me love all of you, baby girl.”

Ally nervously kneeled on the floor by the door leading to the attached garage. She’d placed a cushion beneath her knees. After all, she wasn’t a teenager any longer and kneeling for a long time on wooden floor was hell on her legs.

She continued to second guess herself. It had been one comment, what if he hadn’t meant it? What if he thought her stupid for waiting for him to arrive home, naked, on her knees?

Or hell, what if he brought someone home with him?

No. She just spoke to him ten minutes ago. He was just about to leave his practice, and he would have mentioned if he was bringing anyone home. Ally had finished work early, prepared them a light dinner of baked salmon and salad and now she was just waiting for Jake to come home.

She heard the garage door open and took a deep breath for courage. Straightening her back, she lowered her head and placed her hands palm up on her spread thighs. The inner door opened then and she heard Jake take a quick breath.

“Wow,” he said.

Ally was tempted to look up, but she held still, waiting.

“Now that is a sight to come home to. Ally girl, you look magnificent. Look up at me, honey.”

She raised her gaze, stared into his eyes which were filled with hunger.

“Thank you, baby. You are so beautiful,” he said reverently. Ally smiled.

Jake held out his hand and she took it, letting him help her stand. With a tug he pulled her against him, kissing her deep. Ally was breathing heavily by the time he set her free.
