Darcy actually surprised Will with how easy it was to find a place for Buster and for Rusty. And, he felt her pick was good, too. The Thackers were willing to help the boys grow up while giving them a genuine home and hard work with decent pay. When Darcy asked Mr. Thacker if he would be willing to come to the trial and speak to the judge, he agreed, and he kept his word, coming to meet with the Judge when Darcy rode out to let him know the Judge had arrived.
Will was surprised that his little wife pulled it off, not just for Buster, but for Rusty as well. The Judge gave them a stern lecture and told them of all the hard work Mrs. Davies had done to keep them from going to jail. He also said he felt they each needed a good paddling and when it was obvious that both of the boys were scared to death of corporal punishment he asked them why.
“Our old uncle used to whip us raw nearly every day,” Buster said. “He hated us. He hated our Pa real bad, and so he whipped us.”
“I’m sorry to hear that, but it doesn’t excuse what either of you did. Your uncle abused you, but this Court doesn’t abuse anyone. Sheriff, I think a good tanning will serve both of these youngsters well and remind them they are getting a second chance in the free world. I want you to take them out back and administer a tanning, and then release them to Mr. Thacker. I will join you in a few minutes. Court is dismissed, and anyone caught trying to watch these boys being punished will earn the same, I don’t care how old you are, or if you are a man or woman. I will also fine you one hundred dollars.” He banged his gavel and people filed out in an orderly manner.
“Your Honor,” Darcy approached him. “I know you mean well, but I don’t think that a tanning is going to help these boys turn their lives around. They associate work with a beating. Please reconsider.”
“I’ll think about it, Mrs. Davies. Now then, I suggest you take yourself on home unless you want a good hiding, too?”
“I’ve already had one over this whole situation,” she admitted, shocking the Judge, but she was still angry with her husband for spanking her when she didn’t feel it was justified.
“Whatever for?”
Darcy told him, and then he nodded. “I can see your husband’s point of view, young lady. We won’t start doing this
every
time I come to town, will we?”
“No, sir, but I was involved this time, and felt it was in our best interests to help them. Please don’t have Will paddle them!” She turned then and practically ran to the door of the courtroom and across the street to the jail. Darcy would wait for Will there, since that was where Mr. Thacker was to pick up the boys.
She paced the floor while they waited, and Mr. Thacker told her that Will was going to need a new floor if she kept pacing back and forth. To her surprise, they arrived within just a few minutes, and the brothers were smiling, and so was Will.
“This is Mr. Thacker,” Will told them, and then he introduced them to the rancher. “You know what the Judge said, and believe me, he will ask about you when he comes back. What Mr. Thacker says is the law. If he says ‘no’ to coming to town, then you’d best stay put. If he sends you to school, you go to school.”
“My wife was a schoolteacher before we married up with each other. She schooled our boys and she’ll work with these two on their schoolin’. I just expect you boys to be extra mannerly with her. That’s the one thing that’ll earn you a trip to the woodshed, being mean to my Marthy. I’m a patient man, and I will help you learn things you don’t know how to do. But, what Marthy says comes first. Is that clear?”
“Yes, sir,” they answered in unison, and Mr. Thacker smiled and said, “We’ll get along fine. Sheriff, I don’t see a problem with this. They look like good boys to me. I’m glad your Mrs. came to see us. Let’s go, boys. Marthy is fixing a fine supper to welcome you to the ranch.”
“That’s nice of her,” Rusty said, surprised.
“She’s a real nice woman,” Mr. Thacker told him. “You’ll see. We can sure use your help around the place. The last of our boys left home, and we’re short-handed and chore-high.”
Once they were gone, Darcy whirled around and said, “Well? Did the Judge skip the tanning?”
“He never intended for me to paddle the boys. He just wanted a few grumblers to think that, and he did tell the boys that if Mr. Thacker felt it necessary to discipline them, they might get another one through the Court. The boys promised to behave.”
“Oh good!” Darcy said in relief. “I know how afraid they are of that sort of punishment, and I hope they are good with the Thackers.”
“The Judge visited with them yesterday and talked with them for a long time. He realized their Uncle abused them mercilessly, and he was pleased you helped the kids. It turns out that Rusty is barely seventeen!”
“Oh my gosh! It’s awful that he was trying to do the only thing he could do to earn money to support himself and his brother.”
“Hopefully, this will work. The Judge issued one more sentence….” Will said, looking at her.
“For whom?”
“For one Miss Darcy.”
“What? Why!”
“So that you will learn that it is the Judge who makes decisions, not the Sheriff’s pretty little wife.”
“Oh! What is my sentence?” she was afraid to ask.
“A good husbandly spanking.”
“You aren’t going to do it, are you?” She was ready to run. They had Priscilla’s and Brian’s wedding to sit through on Saturday, and she didn’t want to squirm through the entire service.
“I am definitely going to spank you, Mrs. Davies,” he said. “I think it’s time for the fun kind of spanking.”
“The fun kind? How on earth could a spanking be fun?”
“You’ll just have to trust me and see for yourself.”
Darcy had the rest of the day to wonder what her husband meant, but the anticipation had her more than ready to be pleasured, and Will didn’t disappoint her. When her bottom was tingling with pleasure, he entered her and it was a glorious feeling as they gave each other pleasure.
“You’ll have to thank the Judge for sentencing you, won’t you, Mrs. Davies?”
“I don’t believe so. I think I’ll just thank my husband,” she shyly remarked. “Thank you, darling,” Darcy whispered, and then kissed him passionately.
“I think Miss Eleanor would be very happy, don’t you?” he asked.
“Gram told me she thought you were the perfect husband for me.”
“I agree with her!”
The End.
I love writing and it is
my dream career. I write in all genres, but westerns are my very favorite; plenty of romance, naughty ladies, and stern handome men.
