Free Charming Isabella by Maggie Ryan Page B

opened her mouth but no sound came out. “Baby steps, sweetheart.”
    She heard his voice and looked down at her bracelet. It gave her the strength she so desperately needed. “I belittled myself, Sir. I… I was just teasing.”
    “ Don’t add to your naughtiness by telling lies, Isabella. You’ll find those spankings are far more unpleasant.” He saw her blush but nod in understanding. “You’ve been warned several times, haven’t you, Isabella?”
    “ Yes, Sir.”
    “ Good girl. You are beautiful, sweetheart, and it hurts me to think you don’t know that. I won’t allow you to insult the woman that I care about so much. I’ll continue to redden your bottom until you learn that lesson.” She gulped but nodded again. “Good girl. Now I want you to push your panties to your knees and lie over my lap.” She blushed but found her hands in the waistband of her panties, even as she began to shake and whimper a bit. Coleman saw her hesitate and held his breath. She closed her eyes and lowered her panties a few inches. His heart thudded as he saw her beauty being uncovered. She was a definite natural redhead and his cock reacted swiftly. She looked up at him, tears swimming in her eyes. He saw the conflict in her eyes as well. “Do you need me to help you this time?” She nodded and he very gently but his hands on top of hers. Together they lowered her panties to her knees. She was trembling harder as he guided her down across his knees. “That’s perfect, Isabella; you are doing so well.” She moaned but didn’t protest as he adjusted her until her hands were flat on the floor in front of her. She was so small that her feet didn’t reach the ground behind her. Her bottom was perched on top of his knees, and God, it was a thing of beauty. She had a heart-shaped bottom, both cheeks round and full. He felt his cock shift again and knew she could feel his arousal.
    He gathered her tighter against him with one arm and ran the other hand across her pale bottom. She shivered and then gave a small moan. His cock twitched yet again. He took a deep breath and lifted his hand, but just before he brought it down, she began to fight and twist against him, thrashing and keening with absolute terror. He swiftly had her upright and was holding her tight against him as she beat her hands against his chest and sobbed hysterically. Her reaction had not only surprised him; it had shocked him, as well. He wouldn’t allow her to pull away; instead he wrapped both arms around her, rocking her back and forth.
    “ Sh, Isabella, baby, it’s okay. You’re safe, honey. It’s okay; you are okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” It took several minutes of his continual reassurance before he felt her slump against him, no longer fighting, though her tears didn’t stop. “Oh Bella, I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s okay, honey, talk to me.” She gradually quieted and then stopped crying.
    She wiped her eyes with the backs of her hands and said , “Oh God, I’m so… sorry! I was just so scared.”
    He let out his pent up breath and realized that he wanted to beat the living shit out of this “Bryan”, for causing this wonderful woman such pain.  “Honey, it’s fine. I’m not going to spank you. You are safe with me. I’m proud of you, Bella.” She finally looked up and saw the truth in his eyes.
    “ You’re not spanking me?”
    “ No, sweetie. Baby steps, remember? I know you tried, and I’m really proud of you. I know how hard this was for you. I swear I’m never going to hurt you. You’ll never need to be afraid again.”
    She watched him as he bent to kiss her lightly. She tentatively kissed him back and thought about his words. He continued to simply hold her. She lifted her head and said, “Jack told you didn’t he?”
    Coleman was quiet for a minute and then said , “Jack loves you, Isabella. He just wanted to make sure you don’t get hurt. Don’t blame him for worrying about you.” She
