Given to the Savage(17)

He brought his hand down to just touch one of the welts. She sucked in a breath and clenched her bottom tight, which only aggravated the pain of her bottom hole.

“Please,” she implored. “Do it when I’m healed if you must.”

He looked at her, considering, then nodded. “I will punish you when you’ve healed and you will submit to the punishment without a fight, agreed?”

She nodded once and he turned his gaze back to her bottom, touching it lightly, rubbing a gentle circle and slowly moving his fingers to the cleft in between her buttocks. Rowan began to whimper as he did and covered her face. She was raw inside and out and she couldn’t imagine the pain of being taken now, even as it was his right.

“Relax. I won’t have you tonight. I saw what they did to you. I just want to look at the damage.”

“Haven’t you seen enough?” she asked, her tone even more disrespectful than she meant. Silas turned her sideways and slapped the outside of her hip hard.

“Ow!”

“I don’t do this for my own pleasure,” he began, turning her back over onto her belly and placing his big hand over her bottom. “Look at me.”

Rowan turned tear-filled eyes to look at him.

“I am obligated, just as you are. I do not intend you harm but I will do what I need to do keep you in hand while you are in my care. I am not a monster but I will not tolerate disrespect, is that clear?”

She nodded quickly.

“Now you will lie here while I inspect your bottom and you will cooperate. I will not spank you tonight nor will I claim you tonight but both are coming, know that. Are you going to cooperate?” he asked.

“I don’t have a choice.”

“You do. You can cooperate with or without punishment. That’s your choice.”

She turned away. “I’m embarrassed.”

He made a sound. “Rowan,” he said, his tone softer.

She looked back at him.

“I don’t intend to do you harm. I witnessed what you’ve been through and I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy.”

She looked down, nodding.

“Good girl,” he said and turned his attention to her bottom. Using his fingers, he spread her cheeks wide to find her bottom hole red and very tender looking. “Does it hurt?”

She nodded, her face burning crimson.

“They should have given you ointment.”

“I think the girl did. She slipped it to me when she gave me the fur.”

“Give it to me,” Silas said, straightening her up. She reached inside her pocket to pull out the small container. Opening it, she inhaled to make sure it was what she thought, and it was.

“That was brave of her,” he said.

Rowan nodded. “I know.”

“Give it to me and lie back down, lift your dress.”

She opened her mouth but closed it again and shook her head. “No.” She folded her arms across her chest.

Silas laughed a little. “I think I’ll call you Hellcat. Your eyes are downright wicked when you’re defiant.” Then his smile vanished. “Give it to me and lie back down, raise your dress. Now. Be happy you’re baring your bottom for this sort of attention and not a spanking, Hellcat.”

“Don’t call me that,” she said, lying down over his lap.

“Doesn’t it fit?” he asked, watching as she pushed her furs aside and lifted her dress up over her hips.

“No.”

She groaned when she felt one hand pull her bottom cheek out but in the next instant when he smeared ointment onto her bottom hole, she closed her eyes and let her mouth go slack.

“It doesn’t feel so bad. Just let me take care of you while I have you,” he said, massaging the stuff around her back hole. “I’m going to push in just a little, just to rub the cream inside. Try to relax, I won’t hurt you.”

She covered her face with her hands now and waited, but the ointment was at least working. She was already feeling better and even aroused now, especially as he began to push his finger inside her. He was careful and slow and even as she felt embarrassed by this intimate attention, she also felt something else.

After a few moments, he stopped, and with one finger inside her bottom, other fingers just touched her sex for a moment, softly caressing. It felt good, it felt very good and she felt her muscles tightening around his finger. She groaned in embarrassment.

“Shh, let me take care of you. You have only to relax. Close your eyes and relax.”

She did as he said and soon, the finger inside her bottom was moving again and his other finger had found her clit. She lifted her hips to him and made a small whimpering sound as a shudder ran through her and she came quietly, with a slow moan, wanting the sensation to last and last.
