Somewhere during the night her conscious made a valiant effort to return to the present. As her heavy eyelids fluttered on her cheeks she became vaguely aware of a warm comforting weight wrapped around her heavy muscles. Her face was pressed into his bare chest which was banded with muscle, relaxed in his sleeping state and her body was held by large arms holding her protectively. Before she could properly wake, the gentle rhythm of his deep breathing lulled her back into the recesses of her mind reached only by sleep.

The second attempt of waking up was much more successful; the warm weight was gone from around her and she gasped as she woke up, her eyelids flying open to allow her to search the room. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at her rabbit-in-a-headlight expression as she wildly looked around before seeing him sat on the corner of the bed and visibly relaxing. His presence whilst still a novelty, was inherently calming.
He smiled and reached out a hand to smooth down her bed hair before cupping her face. Her stomach jolted suddenly as he gazed into her eyes, burning grey on dazzling green in the morning sun streaming through the blinds. A jolt of emotion shot through him, startling him.
Quickly he grabbed her upper arms in his large deft hands and pulled her unceremoniously over his lap, sending the duvet flying. She became aware that she was wearing a silk camisole which definitely did not belong to her! His clothing choices were impeccable as always. She did not feel disgruntled about the fact that he had not only bought her nightwear but also dressed her in it whilst she was out of it, and this confused her. All she felt was a strong surge of affection which made her feel looked after.
Disgruntled by these unusual emotions he swiftly switched to 'Dominant mode'- not a difficult task whilst this little submissive beauty was sprawled trembling across his lap with her hands held behind her back. 'Let's assess the damage' he murmured making goose pimples race along her exposed flesh. Sensually he ran a hand up the soft skin of the back of her thigh until he reached the hem of the night dress.
Teasingly he began to gently hike it up over her round cheeks displaying more and more of her rosy skin, giving himself a little show. The skin was hardly marked from last night's spanking- only a sexy pinkish tinge remained. He began to wonder what she had thought about last night before mentally shaking himself. 'It doesn't matter what she thinks' he tries to convince himself although he knows that's not the case. Not with this one anyway.
Her cheeks were tingling as they came into contact with the cool air in the room and she wondered what they looked like after last night. She wasn't in pain, and she hadn't really felt too much pain last night. The tears were mostly emotional rather than physical. However, she was not experienced in these matters. She laid there in a state of nervous anticipation as he continued to rub his hand all over and around her tingling skin.
SLAP
The blow hit without any warning, infinitesimally harder than the blows last night and she gasped out loud more from shock than pain as the feeling went straight to her groin. 'How is that little one?' he rumbled whilst stroking her cheeks. 'Nice sir, thank you' she choked out, amazed at her own obedience. He grinned 'good girl' and swiftly rolled her over to pick her up. She giggled again but managed to avoid raising his eyes to meet his. He pursed his full lips but could not find a valid reason for punishments although giggling was not a standard sub response. She was a puzzle, this one.
Up the stairs and into the bathroom he carried her, barely raising his breathing as his muscles tightened around her slender frame. She kept her eyes locked on her knees, feeling content at their close proximity. Vaguely she remembered waking last night curled up in the protective cage of his body, but realistically she knew that was not the way of Doms and subs. The thought was tinged with sadness as this man made her feel things that no man ever had and she had been with him for less than 24 hours. However, she knew what she signed up for.
