Chocolate Rewards: The Sweetness of Two Worlds Colliding Together (15 page)

Amber was
already feeling better. She and Rokai made love a couple of times
every day. He was often out in the fields looking things over. He
would tell her what he all saw and the progress that was being made.
It was a lot of work, but he was clear that Amber wasn't allowed to
help.

Amber was
buzzing into Rokai's ear that she wanted clothes.

Rokai
told her that she could have them when she was healthy. He was sure
that he could get her to love him by then.

The
doctor visited her often. He wanted her to stay in bed with her foot
elevated.

Amber
hated that because then she had a direct view of the universe's
ugliest foot.

Zufu was
quickly becoming Amber's best friend. No matter what Amber talked
about Zufu was interested in it. Amber could feel that the woman
loved her.

“
I have
an idea. We could take one of the sheets off of the bed and I could
make you a dress out of it. Then you would know what I mean when I
tell you how great clothes are.”

“
Mistress,
no. Master said that you should stay in bed.”

“
But I
would be quick about it. Besides I need to go the bathroom. You could
help me up and walk me over and while I was busy you could peel away
just one sheet.”

Zufu
wanted Amber to like her with all of her heart. She knew that the
master would be gone for a while. He was visiting Master Jamko and
thanking him for the hunting party he had put together.

Zufu knew
that Master Rokai was doing what he could to salvage their
friendship. All the Emkos wanted to work with Master Rokai. He was
just so much nicer than Master Jamko, who was hard to please.

Master
Rokai and told the workers that only half could work here and that
half needed to go to Jamko. He explained that the King had ordered it
that way.

Emil had
pointed out that Rokai needed more staff because of Amber.

Still
forty workers were being sent back to Jamko. This was a big day for
her master. Zufu had been glad that her job with Mistress Amber had
her indispensable.

If her
mistress wanted to play then they would play. This would help her
forget about her foot. Zufu got a sheet from an extra bed in another
room. She would never take one from her mistress' bed. Amber needed a
soft place to sleep. New furniture arrived every day. With the
deliveries came people hoping for a chance to steal chocolates. They
were in high demand and worth money than anything else in the in
universe.

When
Amber finished in the bathroom, she called for Zufu to help her hop
back to bed.

“
Did
you yank one out for me?”

“
No,
Mistress. I got a fresh one from another room.”

“
Could
I cut it up with a pair of scissors?”

“
I have
one, Mistress.”

Amber
hoped over to the chair that Rokai had sat in while she was sick, so
he could hold her hand.

“
Mistress
Amber, You need to lie down. Remember what the doctor said.”

“
I
remember, but this will go quick. Before you know it I will be back
in bed.”

Zufu
didn't want to fight with her mistress. She just wanted her to be
happy. Amber was just so of life. She smiled constantly, making Zufu
happy.

“
Could
I have a pair of scissors? It will go faster that way.”

Zufu
hurried to get one into Amber's hand so she could get back to bed
sooner.

Amber
hummed and cut the soft cloth. When she had all the pieces cut she
smiled at Zufu. “This is going to look so good on you.”

“
I
don't need a gift, Mistress. I'm happy to work for you.”

“
That's
a reason to give you one. You said I was the only one who could give
you clothes. I want you to have them. You are a very important woman
in this household. Just the right clothes will make the other Emkos
look up to you. Besides clothes protect women and make them feel
safe.”

Zufu
loved the way her mistress' face lit up when she spoke.

Amber had
been working for a couple of hours already when her foot started to
throb. She needed to put it up, but she was almost finished. She
decided to continue.

Amber
finished the dress and stood on one foot. She threw the dress over
Zufu head and moved it so it was sitting just the way she wanted it.

Amber
beamed as Zufu admired herself in the mirror. “The next thing I
will make for you is a hat.”

“
You
are very good to me, mistress. Thank you.” Zufu couldn't believe
that she was wearing clothes. Emkos almost never received clothes
from their masters. This was the greatest thing she had ever gotten.

Rokai
came in and found the two women in front of the mirror.

“
I see
you gave Zufu clothes.” He smiled at Amber. She was such a silly
thing.

“
That
is a very lovely dress, Zufu,” he complimented her.

Both
women sighed relieved. Each had feared that he would make Amber take
the dress back.

“
Where
did you find clothes in Zufu size?” He asked Amber.

“
I made
it for her. Out of a sheet.”

“
You
are very talented.” Rokai looked Amber up and down. He wanted to
enjoy the last couple days of being able to see her without clothes.

He
pictured her telling him that she loved him once the doctor turned
her foot back to normal. Then he noticed her foot. It was almost
double the size of what it had been this morning.

His eyes
flashed to Amber's.

Amber
could see that he was mad. He had seen her foot. She had wanted to
take a step back away from him, but that would mean that she would
have to hop.

“
Zufu,
please leave us. You may show the others your pretty dress.” Rokai
folded his arms over his chest and stared Amber down.

Zufu
wanted to say something to help her mistress, but the master looked
too mad. There was nothing that she could do to help her. She nodded
and left them.

Amber
knew that she was due a major scolding. She would agree with him and
apologize.

Rokai sat
down on the bed and opened his arms.

Amber sat
down on his lap and waited for the scolding to start.

“
The
doctor was really clear and so was I. Also, I find it hard to believe
that Zufu would let you disobey me without suggesting that
shouldn't.”

“
She
warned but I was just so eager to give her a dress. You do agree that
she deserved it?” Amber asked him, trying to get his mind on
something else. If she could distract him then they could make love
and just forget the scolding.

“
Amber,
I am so mad at you right now. How dare you disobey me?”

A cold
shiver ran down Amber's back. She had been holding onto his neck as
they spoke, but now she let go of him and tried to cover herself up.

Rokai
wrapped his arms around Amber and stood up. He moved both of them
back on the bed as he sat back down. He moved Amber so she was lying
over his knees.

Amber
tried to move away from him, but he skillfully held her tight. He
made sure that her foot was raised up on the bed.

“
I'll
call the doctor when I am finished with you.”

Another
shiver went through Amber. Did he mean because of her foot, or was it
because he was going to punish her so much that she would need the
doctor's help?

Rokai
laid his hand on Amber's adorable bottom and rubbed it to warm it up.
This was going to be a long session, and she would need the warmth to
get through this.

He raised
his hand up and really let it sail down on her backside.

Amber
clenched up her muscles and grabbed onto the blankets for support. He
was obviously a lot madder than she had thought.

Rokai let
his hand smack down on her other cheek.

A little
squeak escaped her throat. Her bottom was still burning when the next
ten smacks landed; each one burned more than the one before.

“
Please,
stop, Rokai. It will never happen again. I swear it won't.”

“
I will
first stop when I am finished. The number has already been set. There
is nothing that you can say that will make my hand stop falling on
your rump.”

Amber
felt that the talking made him hit harder. She decided to quietly
take her punishment.

Her
behind was killing her. Amber couldn't take the pain anymore. She
cried out loudly. The whole house would know what was going on now.
She begged him to stop, trying to plead with him. She promised to be
good for the rest of her life.

Rokai's
hand was burning, too. He stopped and lay his hand on her backside.
He rubbed his hand against her soft warm cheeks to help relieve some
of his own pain.

Amber was
sniffling and slowly relaxing. She was so glad that it was over.

“
That
was just the first half,” he said like he could read her mind.

“
I
can't survive anymore. I know I can't. Honestly, I have been punished
enough already.”

Rokai
figured that if she were truly punished enough she would be
apologizing and not bargaining.

Amber
felt his hand lift away from her. She pressed her hind cheeks
together tightly.

Rokai's
hand landed on the hard fanny. He redirected his next blow to the top
of her thighs. Amber screamed out and rocked around on his lap. Rokai
alternated between her thighs and bottom. This was a lesson that
would get learned today. She had to obey him whether he was home or
not.

“
I
trusted you to be good while I was gone. I didn't think that you
would go against the doctor's orders.” He was really letting his
naughty human have it. “The deal was that you would get clothes as
soon as you healed. But this set back will cost you healing time. The
only thing this tells me is maybe my Amber isn't ready for clothes.
Maybe she still has a lot to learn about being a slave before she can
become a wife.”

“
No,
please Rokai. I'm sorry.”

Rokai's
hand stopped mid-air. The punishment hadn't gotten her to apologize
but the lack of clothes did. He wanted to roll his eyes and kiss her,
but he felt the real problem was that she didn't respect him. She
needed him to show her that he would demand obedience from her, and
if she chose not to listen to him that he would indeed punish her.

Rokai
smacked on until he had reached the number he had chosen in advance.
He laid his hand on her sore bottom and rubbed her cheeks. He was
giving her a massage as he had down when she was sick.

“
I'm
sorry. I'll be good from now on. Please say that it's over,” Amber
sniffled.

“
One
last one to remind you that I am not a push-over just because I love
you.” He raised his hand up behind his ear and brought it down with
all of his strength.

Amber
cried out.

Rokai
rubbed her bottom and listened to her sniffle. Once she had settled
down he called for Zufu, asking her to bring in some water.
