Cassie's New Plan(21)

Cassie struggled not to cry. She was angrier than hell and felt nothing but hatred for this man who treated her so carelessly. How dare he! She kicked and twisted, but the spanking only grew in intensity. What made it worse was that his spanks never once left her sit spot. Finally, she could no longer hold back, and a loud cry unwillingly escaped her lips. Her bottom felt seared and her emotions raw.

“I’m sooooorrrry! Robby, please…I’m so sorry!”she bawled.

With three final spanks, Rob stopped and stood her up before him. “Wipe your face and get downstairs this minute,”he ordered, turning on his heel and leaving her room.

Cassie fled to obey his instructions, perplexed. Why didn’t he hold her? He had comforted her after the last spanking he had administered. He must really be mad, she concluded. Her mind went even farther. He doesn’t love me anymore! How could I ever hope he would? Cassie realized that she would have done anything to get him to love her and believed she had somehow destroyed her one chance.

Depression set in immediately and Cassie felt broken, hopeless. Rob noticed her pathetic slouching but said nothing as he held the front door open for her. He assumed it was because she had finally yielded to her punishment.

“Get in the truck and put on your seatbelt,”he commanded softly, watching her demeanor. Had he gone too far? No, it was just a little spanking.

Nothing was said as he drove towards his place, which was about 40 minutes from his father’s house. He had wanted to bring her there on better terms, but she had set the play in motion. Tired of the silence, he spoke up.

“Are you hungry? I know a great place for breakfast.”

Cassie shook her head, squirming on the seat. She could not get comfortable and sure as hell did not want to sit at a restaurant on a hard bench. Especially with him.

“Okay, well, I’m hungry and I’m stopping. You will be joining me, got it?”

“Why are you being such a bully?”Cassie demanded. “Can’t you see I’m in pain? I can’t sit to eat.”

“Oh, yes you can. It won’t be comfortable, but you can and will do it. Do I need to remind you about the cost of disobeying me here in the parking lot?”

“I hate you,”Cassie hissed.

Rob shrugged. “Too bad. You’re still coming inside,”he said coldly. Cassie glared at him as he opened the truck door for her and waited patiently for her to exit. She bit her lip as her bottom dragged along the seat as she pulled herself out. He held his arm for her to take, pleased that she decided to comply. He patted her hand and led her inside.





Chapter Five





The little diner had been there for years, tucked away under the protective branches of the old, gnarled oak trees. The waitress greeted them and showed them to a table. Cassie winced as she slid into the booth.

“How are you doing, Rob? It’s been a while.”

“Been busy, Tess. This is Cassandra, my…friend,”he said.

Cassie looked surprised. He didn’t introduce her as his roommate!

“Good to meet you, Cassandra. Are you okay?”Tess frowned, noticing the girl’s discomfort.

Cassie nodded. “Please call me Cassie. I hurt my back last night and this weather had my allergies in an uproar.”

“Yeah, it looks like we might have a big one coming in. What can I get you two?”

“Let’s start with your famous latte, okay?”Rob said pleasantly.

Cassie waited until the woman departed. “Your friend? What is that about? Are you ashamed to be related to me?”

“Will you please cut it out? I know you’re mad; so am I. But let’s work through it. Cass, I’m sorry about what I said last night. It was wrong of me. I felt, well, insecure.”

“You? Insecure? You are one of the most arrogant and self-righteous people I know! How the hell could you possibly feel insecure about anything?”

“Gee, why don’t you tell me what you reallythink about me?”Rob forced a shy smile. “But, you’re right. You make me feel that way. You’re the only one who ever has.”

Cassie was silent, staring at him. She thanked Tess for the coffee and took a sip. Mmmm, it was hot, creamy and smooth.

“Good, huh?”Rob asked, seeing her response. She nodded, happy to change the subject.

“I’ve never had anything so yummy.”

“I bought a cappuccino machine for the house. I gotta learn how to use it,”Rob said, making small talk. Cassie smiled, looking at her cup.

“I’ll show you how. It’s not that hard. Except for an architect, of course.”

“Smart ass.”Rob smiled, relaxing. Tess brought their breakfast and Cassie gasped.
