all she could do not to scream.
    “Nick, please,” she hissed, tears falling from her eyes. “My kids are in the other room, please.”
    “Then I guess you’d better be quiet,” he informed her, as spank after spank fell on her throbbing, scorched behind. “Or you could save yourself a little trouble and tell me the truth. As a matter of fact, it would be an excellent idea if you never lied to me again,” he insisted, landing several hard spanks on her already cherry red ass. God, this spoon is pretty good, he thought grinning. I’ll have to remember to thank Mason.
    “All right,” Maggie sobbed laying her head down on the counter while tears poured from her eyes. “I’ll tell you.”
    Nick stopped immediately and set the spoon down. He pulled Maggie up and turned her into his arms, cradling her against his chest while she sobbed and hiccupped. Nick rubbed her back gently while she continued to do her little dance, until she calmed down enough to tell him.
    The entire story began to spill out right from the beginning. Nick continued to comfort Maggie, kissing the top of her head and gently questioning her as she sighed and sniffed.
    “Why would you think this was something you had to handle on your own, honey?” he asked, genuinely puzzled.
    “Because it’s my job,” she sobbed, starting to cry all over again. “I’m supposed to be able to handle things…like…this…,” she whispered.
    “All right, darlin’, it’s all right now,” he soothed. “Everything will be just fine, but don’t you ever lie to me again,” he told her firmly, pulling her back and looking directly into her water-filled eyes.
    Maggie dropped her head and snuggled into his chest as close as she could get.
    “I won’t Nick, I won’t,” she assured him, sighing.
    Nick held her for a little while longer until he could hear the crescendo from the TV telling him the movie would soon be over. Very gently he helped Maggie pull up her panties and cords while she hissed and squirmed. He tilted her head back and brushed her hair softly off her face.
    “I want you to go upstairs and get ready for bed, honey. The kids and I will clean up, and then I’ll take them to get an ice cream. I doubt you’ll want to ride along tonight,” he told her with a twinkle in his eye. “But I’d be glad to bring you back a hot fudge sundae.”
    Maggie was surprised he remembered her favorite treat. There was no way she could sit right now, and she wasn’t sure about the immediate future either. As bad as the spanking was, the cuddling after was wonderful, and she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her.
    “No thanks, Nick. I think I will get ready for bed and rest until the kids get back.”
    “Okay you go, take it easy and rest. I’ll make sure to give you a little time to compose yourself. Go on now, honey, and do as I say,” he told her, giving her a warm kiss and a little push in the right direction.
    Maggie went willingly. The last thing she needed was for the kids to ask why she’d been crying or, God forbid, to find out.
    Nick was picking up the phone before she rounded the corner.
    “Mason, we need to talk. I’ll be over in about an hour.”
     
     
     

Chapter Four
     
     
    Nick didn’t come in the next morning. The kids started watching for him long before he was due to pick them up and were out the door before he could get fully in the yard. Maggie watched from the window as he got everyone situated and buckled in. For a minute she thought he would come in and ask her again to go along, but he didn’t. It was just as well. The more time she spent with him, watched him with the kids, the harder it became to remember she was doing the right thing. The rosy picture he painted of their becoming a family was tempting. Having someone to share things with again, help carry the financial burden that came with three growing children, and of course the physical pleasure…
