The Strange Healing (28 page)

Heather felt sorry for her friend.  She could see how much this was bothering her.  “But it will happen, and when it does everything will be okay again.  Remember, Heath needs to feel it's safe to spank you, and he doesn't yet.  I know you see it differently, but he sees waiting until he feels you're up to it as protecting you.”  She blushed a little as she added, “And I don't think you know what it's like to lay in bed on an extremely sore butt for two or three days.”

Her eyes were big as she asked, “Two or three days?”

Rubbing her butt again, she confirmed, “Oh, yeah.  Two or three days.  If you notice, I'm still walking and not sitting.”  Sara gulped.  Heather said, “I know it's hard, but try to be patient and let things happen in their own time.”

“
Thanks, Heather.  You're a good friend.”

Heather laughed and said, “An experienced friend.”

Before they could say anything else the men came in.  Heath asked, “Are you doing okay, Sara?”

“
Yeah, I'm fine.”

He sat down beside her, looking at her carefully.  “Phil wants to take a statement from you if you're up to it.”

“I'm fine.  I'd like to get that done so it's one less thing I have to worry about.”

Heath met her eyes, and she was sure he knew what she was thinking.  She looked over at Phil, who was saying, “If you're not up to it yet we can wait, Sara.”

“No, I really would like to get it done.”

“
Okay, but you tell me if you're getting too tired, okay?”

“
Deal.”

Phil took out a clipboard and sat down beside her while Heather said, “Come on, Heath, let them alone.  Phil will take care of her, but let him do his job.”

They left, and Phil quickly took a statement from her.  Ten minutes later they were done and Heath and Heather were back in the room.  All three of them could tell Sara was tired, so they all left her alone, and she was asleep within minutes.

As Phil and Heather were leaving she told him, “Think about what I said, big brother.”  He nodded, and Phil looked at her quizzically as they left.

Sara slept for almost three hours, but it was a fitful sleep.  Heath stayed with her most of the time, watching her.  When she woke up and yawned, she didn't look any more rested than when she'd gone to sleep.

They talked for a few minutes, before finally getting to the subject that was on both their minds.  He sat on the bed beside her, leaning his back against the headboard, and pulled her onto his lap.  She instantly leaned against him.  Smiling at how comfortably she fit, he said, “Okay, do you want to talk about what's really on your mind?”

She looked up at him and bluntly said, “Heath, I need you to spank me now, please.”

He had to laugh.  That was one thing he never thought he'd hear her say, and now she was pleading. 

“I'm serious.  I wish I could somehow make you understand how I feel.”

“I think I do now, Sweetie.  Your partner in crime talked to me a few minutes while Phil took your statement.  She told me that although you may rest, you're not getting the peaceful rest you need.”  He pulled her tight against him and asked, “Are you sure you want to do this today?”

“I'm positive, Heath.”

“And you understand it's going to hurt, a lot, and you won't be comfortable laying in bed for a couple days?”

“Yes, I do.  Heather already told me it would hurt lying on my butt.  But Heath, I need to feel the open, unconditional love that flows between us after I pay the price and the air is cleared.”

“Okay, I've thought about it a lot, and I'm not anxious at all to do this, especially knowing how weak you are, but I think you're right.  I think you'll rest a lot better after we settle this.”

“Thank you.”

He smiled a grim smile and said, “Don't thank me yet.  You aren't going to like this a bit.  But if you're determined, let's get it over with.”  He reached down and held her face with both of his hands, and kissed her gently but passionately.  He loved her with all his soul, and he wanted her to know that.  The kiss she gave him in return told him she felt the same way.

Pulling away reluctantly, he said, “Okay, let's get you over my lap.”  He stayed where he was, leaning against the headboard, and helped maneuver her into place.  He made sure she was as comfortable as was possible, considering her bottom was the highest point of her body, resting over his lap.  She was lying on the bed, which he hoped would help her weakened condition at least a bit.

Steeling himself for a fight, he said, “Now, Sara, I said this would be memorable, and I meant it.  This spanking is going to be on your bare bottom.”  To his surprise, she didn't object.  She allowed him to pull down her pajamas, and didn't even flinch when he pulled her panties down as well.

He started the spanking, watching her reaction.  If she started struggling too much he was calling an end to it, no matter how much she wanted it over with.  He knew what she meant about that close feeling after a spanking, though.  He wanted the same thing just as bad as she did, but he wasn't willing to risk her health to get it.

She was doing well with the spanking so far.  She was obviously not liking it, but she wasn't trying to get out of it, either.  She never once said stop, which was a word she normally used quite frequently during a spanking.  He picked up the speed and force a bit as he started to lecture.  He asked questions during the talk, simple one or two words answers, to be sure she
was hearing what he was saying, and was able to answer his questions.  Again, he was worried about her, and as long as she could still answer his questions she was doing okay.

They talked about her health and the importance of resting now, and they talked about her ignoring his instructions to stay home and rest unless he was with her.  He reiterated that he made these rules for a reason.  She continually confirmed she understood.  She was squirming much more, kicking her feet on the bed, and yelling into a pillow, but still not asking him to stop. 

He stopped spanking, keeping his hand lying on her hot bottom, to allow her to catch her breath.  When she was breathing a bit better, he asked, “We're not finished yet, Sara, but are you doing okay?”

It took her a few moments, but she caught her breath and bravely said, “Yes.”

He was proud of her, but his heart ached, knowing he had to finish this off.  Although he didn't normally believe in it, he rubbed her back a few moments and asked, “Are you ready to finish this, Sweetie, or do you need to rest a little first?”

He could tell she was tired, but she was also determined.  “No, I want to be done.”

He smiled at her wording.  “Are you okay to finish?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.  We're going to finish up then, and we're going to talk about trespassing and where you would be right now and what you'd be facing if Phil hadn't been able to talk the owner out of filing charges.  Are you ready?”

Tears were flowing freely once again as she squeaked out, “Yes.”

Spanking her again was the hardest thing Heath had ever done, but he steeled himself and did what he used to do when he had to spank Heather particularly harshly.  He pictured his little Sara in a jail cell, scared and alone. That gave him the incentive he needed to give her the hardest spanks he'd ever given her, while he talked to her sternly about what could be happening.  He then softened his voice, along with the spanking, telling her how he never, ever wanted that to happen, and how that would destroy him. 

He finished up, and started rubbing her now crimson-colored bottom, and her back, encouraging her to breathe, and keeping her where she was while she calmed.  As soon as she was breathing semi normally again he very, very gently picked her up and made sure her extremely sore bottom was straddling his thighs while she leaned against his chest, crying her eyes out.

After soaking up the love she felt in the strong arms that were holding her tight for several minutes, she remembered what Heather had said.  She looked up to see his face, and her tears started flowing heavier as she saw the tears in Heath's eyes.  “I'm sorry, Heath.”

“I know, Baby, I know.  You said that several times in the last few minutes, and I believe you.”

“No, I mean I'm sorry for putting you through that.”

He smiled at her and said, “I love you, Sara.”  He leaned down to give her a kiss that was not only passionate, but
urgent. "Just please don't ever make me spank you that hard again.”

“I'll try, trust me.”

He chuckled, and said, “Lean on me, Sweetie, and rest.”

“Okay.”  She laid her head on his shoulder and felt the peace she'd been seeking.  With his arms around her she felt surrounded by his love. 

After several minutes, with his arms still around her tightly, he said, “Honey, I know you're tired and need to rest, but there's one thing I want to talk to you about before you go to sleep, unless you're too tired.”

Smiling, she said, “No, actually I'm good.  I thought I'd be asleep almost immediately, but I think I'm experiencing a post-spanking high.  I'm feeling that fantastic close feeling I was talking about, and I don't want to give it up.  I want to stay right here.  I need to soak it up for
a while.”

He chuckled at her description, but agreed, “I'm feeling that same closeness, Honey, and as long as you're not too tired, we'll stay right like this.  I want to tell you something, though.  John called me today about his condo.”  He felt her stiffen, and immediately said, “No, listen to me, Sara.  His company got their new plant ready to open, but they want him to stay there an extra three months to help get it up and running.  He wanted to know if you'd be willing to stay on an extra three months.”

She looked up and said, “That's wonderful.  That'll give me time to find a condo or something.  Thank you, Heath, for telling me that.”

“Wait, there's more.”

“More?  What is it?”

“I have a place in mind for you in three months.”

“Fantastic.  Where is it?”

“My place.”  When she looked up at him he added, “That is, if you'll agree to marry me and you and Heather can plan a wedding within three months.”

She was speechless, staring up at him with the biggest, most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen.  He reached over to the nightstand and picked up the little box he'd put there earlier and opened it.  “Sara, I love you with every ounce of my being.  Will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife and sharing my life?”

Tears were streaming down her cheeks again as she whispered, “Yes.  Yes, yes, yes.  I love you, Heath, and I would love to share your life.”

After a hug and kiss like none other, he said, “Heather was right when she said she just knew we were meant to be together.”

“That's right.  I forgot about that.  She did say early on that she just knew it in her heart.”

He nodded.  “That she did.”

She smiled and said, “She also told me something else that same day.”

“What's that?”

“I told her I felt like I was broken and needed to be fixed.  She told me that you don't think of any person as being broken, but some need some form of healing.  Then she told me that if I open up and talk to you that you could heal me if anyone could.”

“She said that?”

“Yes, she did.  And it turns out you did heal me, but who knew?  The healing came in the form of spankings.”

He chuckled as he said, “I guess it did at that.”

S
he smiled as she said, “Spankings and a ring.  I got both tonight, and I've never been happier than I am right this minute.”

He hugged her again.  She laughed once more and said, “It was a strange healing, but it's wonderful.”  He hugged her to him and held her tight, while they both enjoyed the love and closeness
they shared.

The End.
