Sansa's pov
I lingered in the drawing room while the men moved forward as if nothing was happening, my eyes on the rapidly crimson turning flesh. I felt sympathy for the the poor girl who I noticed everyone called Little miss. Ohh poor girl.
"sansa" my daddy called me and I ran to him, he smiled at me, his eyes twinkling and I felt an unease what was my husband playing at.
He took my hand in his and took me towards the most beautiful dining room I had ever seen the huge dining table was made of wood and was shining the cutlery looked antique. I was amazed at this place, I only met this couple once when we were at the doctors soon after my marriage at though that the husband looked too dominant while the wife was so meek that we couldn't even talk. Now was so different. I was looking at their most personal life and was amazed and although my heart was scared my body was not, it was responding like it craved this.
Our host sat at the head of the table while my husband sat on his right and drawing me with him in his lap, he knew me too well. He knew I needed his arms around me his reassuring warmth, I turned my head in his chest and closed my eyes while he talked something with Mr Edwards, I could feel our hosts eyes burning on my back.
Michael patted my back and then squeezed me somewhat, too soon for me he sat me on the chair beside him.
They were talking but did not listen but when I felt their eyes on me I looked up. Michael smiled and laughed
Mr Edward said "I'm asking young lady what do you think about my house?" he smiled
"it's very beautiful sir" I whispered softly.
"your little one is still so shy Michael, my dear you can call me uncle Edward, God knows I'm the age" Mr Edward joked.
I looked at Michael who nodded and I said "yes uncle Edward" I felt oddly fimilar with him now.
All of us saw the black women enter with lola in tow and this time she went directly to her husband and looking down said.
"I'm sorry papa, I'll do better in my studies"
"of course you will young lady"
He said sternly to his wife who shivered at his tone.
"lola" the governess tapped lolas back and she hesitantly looked at us once and then sighed saying
"yes Ada"
She turned around and gathered her skirts in her hands, her very bruised, very sore looking, maroon and stiff in some places buttocks came into view, I gasped loudly but no one looked at me,
Her bottom bore I think twelve cane marks that glowed red.
"good girl lola"
Her husband said and touched one cheek and the other lightly poked and probed at the bruised skin.
"my your governess really laid into you, my poor girl"
He said with fake sympathy because his face did not show any.
The girl lola remained in her position, the whole place was mesmerised by the sight.
I caught myself staring and looked away when I felt my husband looking at me with a knowing look.
"now, I want you to be on your best behaviour for our guests hmm"
Uncle Edward squeezed one cheek in warning and she went on her tiptoes.
"Ahhh, yes papa"
Her governess who I think was named Ada snatched her hand and straightened her immediately when her husband took away his hand and marched her towards the left side of the table and sat on the left of Edward as if she were the wife and beside her she sat lola as if she were the daughter of her and Edward.
Sansa could not imagine the pain of sitting on a bottom so raw and winched along with the girl who flinched when her butt touched the chair.
She was now sitting right in front on me, and I could see her face was void of any makeup, and she looked like a little girl like maybe sixteen with an attire like that.
She was very beautiful, her hair red and her face pretty.
I squeezed my thighs together.
"this is usually the time when Ada tell me about my little wife's day and how she has performed in her studies today, actually my wife here was from a very poor family before I saw her and proposed to her mother for her hand hence was not educated, I'm taking care of that and she goes to a classroom I have built for her in the house daily for several hours daily "
" that's a great idea Edward "Michael said, he was big knicker for education.
" yes my friend, but the problem is she finds it quite difficult, I happen to joke that at this speed she will always remain in school "Edward laughed and even the black women smiled patting her charge on the head
" does her family come to visit her? "my husband asked
" Ah, she only has a mother and two young sisters, they are allowed to visit my wife every weekend for an hour if she has been good, sometimes if I'm feeling generous they spent more time here"
Edward shrugged.
"so her sisters are getting educated?" uhh he's still struck at education.
I rolled my eyes, Ada who was looking at me raised her brow and I felt dread
"yes of course, I installed them in a small house a bit far from here and they get an allowance, I plan to secure good matches for her sisters if they agree of course"
"they must be pretty like their sister, I'm sure they'll have a good future"
My husband said
For the first time lola or aliana looked up and smiled such a sincere smile at her husband that I felt like I wanted to be her friend. I was sure she loved her family. Although she looked at Edward too who was smiling at her and said
"thank you papa"
"oh,no problem my love, you make me so happy I need to do this for you"
I relaxed finally seeing something normal between this couple.
"where was I, yes then if my little wife has been too bad the whole day I inspect the punishment given to her and decide if she needs an appointment in the study with me, right Ada"
He continues explaining to us their routine. His blushing wife looks down.
The black women nods and says
"of course, this young lady here truly dreads her papa's belt"
Lola shivered at the mention
Of her husbands belt on her naked nates.
"her tutors of course have my permission to physically discipline her as they see fit on her naked buttocks although I require that everything be reported back to me."
He continued.
I had not even noticed when the first course came and everyone was eating, I opened my mouth when my husband started feeding me himself because I wasn't eating.
I blushed while our host smiled at me.
I had been too busy listening to his story, although lola was eating herself and her governess was not feeding her.
I felt more like a baby than any other.
"so what is she studying?" Michael was behaving like nothing was amiss.
"her syllabus is right now basic maths, and English etc, you see we needed to start from the very beginning but we are progressing very well, as a little lady complains quite frequently that her teacher is quite hard with the junior cane and the rulers in her classroom "
He was teasing his wife who blushed not looking at anyone.
Michael chuckled lightly.
" what is your little ones education Michael "
" sansa in a major in criminal psychology, she graduated quite resently, I married her just before she was graduating"
"
Thats quite lovely Mrs Michael" Edward said with a teasing smile although Michael looked proud
"thank you uncle Edward" sansa said
Edward smiled more warmly at her now.
"my sansa here fears the wodden implement alot but I have a thing for collection of them if you would visit I would show you" Michael said
"sure, I mostly favour my belt but my little miss will not say she has not felt alot of implement from my hands." Edward said
I was thinking about just how many spankings was the mistress of the house given per day, if she was s*****d by the black women, her husband and her tutors too.
Atleast I was good at avoiding them.
We were now having dessert and the black women had taken alianas plate of a very delicious chocolate cake and cut the portion in half.
Sansa though it was very delicious as her papa fed her.
She could not not voice this injustice at the sad face of who she considered her friend already.
Edward and her daddy laughed at her objection.
"my dear, lola here only gets dessert if she has been a good girl for her Ada and me and as you saw she was quite naughty today" Edward said.
Sansa still though it was not fair to take anyones half dessert.
Michael said "my baby here has quite a sweet tooth"
"lola also enjoys sweet alot but her Ada does not let her indulge in it too much" Edward said
They finished their food and everybody stood to go back to the drawing room before which she saw Edward push back his chair and open his arms and say lola" very softly and smile . Ada shook her head to herself like she did not support him coddling his wife after a punishment.
Lola frankly skipped towards her husband and into his arms while he cuddled her while she sobbed saying papa , and just sobbed in his chest
He hugged her tightly and his face was soft with love for his wife, sansa was again relieved to see this scene after having watched this woman take such a harsh thrashing on a already sore bum from a woman her husband employes just for the purpose of her discipline.
Michael also smiled and kissed sansa's brow as they watched Edward pat lola on her punished bottom and stand her in front of him while saying
"that's enough tears now you ought to have a appointment today due to that quiz in the study but because of our guests I will let it go, but I warn you Aliana froster edward if you fail your test again, I will give you double of what your Ada gave you, am I clear!"
Edward said very sternly to the woman standing in front of him
" yes, papa"lola said to him
Edward planted a lingering kiss on her lips and stood up while Ada took aliana with her and they entered the drawing room again.
Ada sat aliana with her, away from Edward who did not seem to mind, sansa wanted that girl to go back into her husbands arms.
"I must say Edward, this was a very pleasant evening for my baby and me"
Michael said to Edward.
"pleasure was all mine Michael, I'm sure my little lola is very happy to meet you in between her strict routine although I would like like your girl to have more time with my lola the next time they meet" Edward said
"yes sure, sansa could do with a friend who understands her better than the one she meets when she is feeling big"
Michael said
"although I'm curious, does your wife have a terribly strict routine?"Michael asked the too eager man.
Michael and sansa were fascinated by their lives
"Ah, yes quite my little wife here rises quite early of course as you must have noticed her governess Ada is a woman who is in charge of her, she is woken and bathed then dresses for the day, I must say Ada and I believe in very well mannered girls and so alot of the days fussy little girls like my lola get paddled with her own hairbrush right in the morning than she has breakfast, than I go to work or in my study while my wife goes to school, I want her educated as early as possible, I have a very team of teachers working on her although I plan that after she gets the basic I will still continue her education, she has her lunch with Ada and naps in the afternoon. She spends the evening with me. After Dinner I usually attend to her appointments if she has earned any in my study" Edward explained to Michael
Who was nodding along
"by appointments I assume you mean punishment" Michael said
Sansa was just looking at lola who was blushing red while her Ada was shaking her head along with Michael.
"yes my friend, if she's been very bad, her tushie meets any punishment I see fit" Edward said proudly
After that they did some chitchat and then Ada, Edward and lola saw them to the door.
Although lola remained in the background mostly only speaking when spoken too. Ada had a very tight grip on her and would swat her on her bum hard whenever she did something she shouldn't.
Michael and sansa sat in the car while Michael took out her bottle from the bag that had been warmed by Edwards staff and took the reluctant sansa in his lap and fed her, she was glad to sleep in his arms and he carried her to her bed before tucking her in.she needed to rest.
