"Yes, sir," Hope repeated, her mind already racing with thoughts of what was to come. She couldn't believe that she was about to be spanked by Lee Know, and the thought both excited and terrified her.
"Good," Lee Know said again. "Now, keep your hands on top of your head and keep looking at the wall. Don't move, and don't make a sound until I tell you to do so."
Hope placed her hands on top of her head and kept her gaze trained on the wall, her body tensing up in anticipation of the punishment. Her heart was racing, and she could feel her stomach doing somersaults.
Lee Know stood behind her for a moment, watching her intently. He could see the tension in her body, the way she was holding her breath in anticipation of the spanking. He gave her a moment to let it sink in, to let the fear and the excitement build up within her.
Then, without warning, Lee Know's hand came down hard on Hope's bottom. She flinched at the contact and let out a gasp, the pain and the shock jolting through her. She had been expecting it, but nothing could have prepared her for the sting of his hand on her flesh.
Lee Know continued, smacking her bottom with a firm, steady hand. He didn't let up until he had given her all ten swats, each one landing a bit harder than the last. Hope was biting her lip hard, trying not to cry out or move from her position. Her bottom was stinging and she could feel her eyes welling up with tears, but she held herself still and focused on the wall in front of her.
When Lee Know was done, he took a step back and let her stand there in the corner, her bottom stinging and her heart racing. "You're not done yet," he said, his tone firm but with a hint of softness. "You still have ten minutes to stand here in the corner and think about what you've done. Keep your hands on your head and stay facing the wall. Understand?"
Hope swallowed hard, her bottom still stinging from the spanking. She had never felt so vulnerable and exposed before, standing there in the corner with her face to the wall. "Yes, sir," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I understand."
"Good," Lee Know said, his tone still firm but with a hint of approval. He watched her standing there, her body language tense and submissive, and he felt a pang of something deep within him. He wasn't used to feeling protective of the other members, but there was something about Hope that brought out a softer side in him.
The ten minutes passed in a torturous blur for Hope. Her bottom was aching, and her mind was swirling with conflicting thoughts and emotions. On one hand, she was embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that she had just been punished in such a humiliating manner. On the other hand, there was something about the authority and presence of Lee Know that made her feel strangely attracted to him. It was a confusing and complicated mix of emotions, and she wasn't sure how to process it all.
Finally, the ten minutes were up, and Lee Know spoke again. "You can turn around and face me now," he said, his tone still firm but with a hint of gentleness.
Hope took a deep breath and turned around slowly, her body still on edge. She looked up at Lee Know, her eyes wide and her expression a mix of embarrassment and submission.
Lee Know's expression softened a bit as he saw the state she was in. Her eyes were watery and her cheeks were flushed, and he could see the redness on her bottom peeking out from the hem of her shorts.
"Come here," he said, beckoning her over to him. Her pulse quickened as she took a few tentative steps toward him. When she was standing in front of him, she looked up at him with a mixture of fear and anticipation, waiting for him to say something.
But instead of speaking, Lee Know reached out and took her chin in his hand, tilting her face up towards him. He studied her eyes for a moment, looking for something in her face. Her heart was racing, and she could feel her breath catching in her throat at the touch.
"You did well," Lee Know said, his voice a low rumble. "You took your punishment without protest, and you stood in the corner like you were told to. I'm...proud of you."
Hope's eyes widened at his words, her heart skipping a beat. She hadn't expected to hear praise from him, especially after the humiliating punishment he had just given her. She could feel a flutter in her stomach as she responded, her voice soft and submissive. "Thank you, sir."
Lee Know's thumb traced the line of her jaw, his fingers caressing her skin with a gentleness that surprised her. "You know why I had to punish you, right?" he asked, his tone even.
Hope nodded, her heart thudding in her chest. "Yes, sir," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I snuck out when I wasn't supposed to. I put myself in danger and disobeyed the rules."
Lee Know's hand slid from her chin to her shoulder, his fingers curling around the curve of her collarbone. "That's right," he said, his voice still low and steady. "You broke the rules and put yourself in danger. You know that sort of behavior can't be tolerated, right?"
"Yes, sir," Hope replied again, her heart rate still elevated. "I know it was wrong, and I understand why I had to be punished. I won't do it again, I promise."
Lee Know's hand slid up to her neck, his fingers playing with the sensitive skin there. Hope's breathing hitched at the intimate touch, her body responding to his nearness in a way she couldn't control. "I hope so," he said, his voice holding a hint of warning. "I don't want to have to punish you again."
Hope nodded, her heart fluttering at the thought of another punishment. The pain of her bottom still throbbed, and she couldn't deny the strange, confusing mix of emotions that Lee Know was stirring up inside her. "I'll be good," she promised, her voice coming out in a breathless whisper.
Lee Know's hand moved from her neck to her hair, his fingers tangling in her locks. He gave her a small tug, pulling her closer to him. "I hope so," he repeated, his voice dropping to an even lower tone. "Because if you're not, next time there will be consequences."
