The Lessons They Learned

Relax - Dani x Jamie (HBM)

No spoilers in the comments please; I haven't finished the series yet! Also, please don't ask about other fics in the comments. I'm just writing what I feel like in the moment, but I will get to the others eventually.

     "Alright," Jamie said, not quite believing Dani when she said nothing was wrong. "Well, I'll be back in a few hours. And if I find out you've not been relaxing, there will be serious consequences," she said, attempting to be serious with the blonde but couldn't stop herself from smirking.
     "Okay," Dani said with a small chuckle.
     "Yea," Jamie smiled as she walked out the door. Dani smiled to herself, butterflies swarming in her stomach that she didn't quite understand.
     She knew the threat was idle, and she's definitely straight. But that didn't explain the way her heart sped up or her breath hitched when the brunette was unzipping her dress for her. It's just from her hands being cold, she reasoned with herself. She went on with her day as normal, completely ignoring Jamie's playful threat and the thumping in her pants that it brought on.

     Hannah and Dani were sitting at the dining table, awaiting Jamie to finish making tea, the kids off somewhere in the house. "Dani, care to join me?" Jamie asked, glancing over her shoulder. "I could give you some pointers on how to make tea properly as I'd rather drink my tea than gag on it." All three women chuckled slightly, and Dani made her way over.
     "I'll get on with some tidying up whilst the tea is still brewing," Hannah said, excusing herself. Jamie showed her how to make the tea while glancing up at Dani, noticing the still-present bags under her eyes. She leaned against the counter while the tea did it's thing and she looked at the newcomer seriously.
     "Did you relax today?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Dani just looked at her with a smile.
     "I had to do my job, Jamie," Dani chuckled. "I can't relax when there's two kids running around who need me to take care of them."
     "Hannah is perfectly capable of handling them whilst you get a much needed break," Jamie said, somewhat sternly. "What did I say to you before I left?" Dani's stomach dropped slightly, suddenly feeling like a little girl being reprimanded by her mother.
     "You said that if I didn't relax there would be consequences," she muttered. "I didn't think you were serious."
     "Well I very much was," Jamie lectured. "One thing you'll quickly learn is that I do not make empty threats or promises. Now, I won't do anything without your consent, of course, but I very much think there should be a consequence for not taking care of yourself."
     Dani shuffled her feet, glancing around to make sure no one else could hear her being lectured. "Yea, I guess," she said quietly.
     "Hmm," Jamie hummed. "Go to your room. I'll be up in a moment." Dani opened her mouth to protest, but Jamie just pointed at the stairs. "Go." Dani gulped, but followed her orders and made her way to her room, sitting on the edge of her bed. A few minutes later, Jamie knocked on the door, inviting herself in without a word. She stood over Dani, folding her arms over her chest again.
     "Hannah has taken the kids outside. It's time for a chat. Stand up," she said, leaving no room for argument. She moved the other woman aside slightly as she sat directly where Dani was just sitting, and guided her to stand next to her right knee.
     "W-what're you do-" Dani attempted to ask, before she was flipped across Jamie's lap. "Hey, what the hell?!" A firm slap landed on her upturned bottom. "Stop that!"
     "You agreed to have consequences, so that's what I'm doing," Jamie said simply. "Now, we could settle this easily by me just lecturing you once again, or maybe making you stand in the corner like a naughty child, or we could do it my way. Be honest- are you okay with this?" she asked softly. "If you aren't, I won't hold it against you and I will let you up."
     Dani fiddled with her fingers as she stared at the floor, struggling to get used to her new position. "Um... no- I mean, yes, I... you can continue," she said, her heart beating faster.
     "Hmm," Jamie hummed again. She flipped up Dani's shirt that covered her bottom and quickly got to work, immediately making her squirm.
     "Ow, Jamie, please," she whined. Jamie didn't respond, instead increasing her strength. "Oww, I'm sorry." No amount of squirming or whining was making the spanking stop, making Dani's eyes sting with frustrated tears.
     "Stand up," Jamie suddenly said. The blonde did as she was told, her eyes downcast as she stood. "Look at me. Hairbrush, or pants down?"
     Dani's eyes went wide, assuming the punishment was over. "N-neither."
     "One or the other, or I will make the decision for you," Jamie said firmly. Dani didn't respond, standing there in refusal. Jamie quickly made her decision, collecting the hairbrush from the girl's dresser and unbuttoned Dani's jeans before pulling them down. "I guess you'll get both then," she said simply, pulling her over her knee and flipping up her shirt once more. She wasted no time, delivering harsh smacks with the hard wood all across the panty-clad bottom.
     Dani kicked a bit, trying to stop herself from crying, but salty tear tracks soon developed on her face. She stopped begging for it to stop, simply accepting her fate. Her acceptance didn't make it hurt any less, perhaps more, because the woman punishing her moved the swats to land on her sit spots. She wailed and threw her hand back to protect her beaten bottom, but her wrist was quickly snatched and pinned to her lower back.
     "Do that again, and I will strap your palm with my belt," Jamie stated, seemingly unfazed. She moved the blonde onto just her left knee, bringing her right leg to wrap around her spankee's legs, effectively trapping her over her knee and giving her easier access to the spot where cheek meets thigh.
     Dani laid there, bucking to try and escape but failing miserably as her bottom was beaten harshly. She sobbed and went limp, too tired to struggle any more. Jamie finally stopped, knowing that she had finally learned. She helped the girl up and enveloped her in a secure hug. "Shh, you're alright, Poppins," she said, rubbing Dani's back soothingly and holding the blonde's head gently in the crook of her neck. It was silent until her tears slowed down. "What did we learn?" Jamie asked softly.
     "To take care of myself," Dani responded through her tears. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."
     "Shh, shh, no more apologies. You've paid your dues, you're already forgiven. Now, let's get you cleaned up before the little shites stampede in here."
