G is for Going, Going, Gone
Nick leans against the edge of the table, palms pressed flat so hard it hurts. Izzie hates when he towers over her like that, but right now that's the least of his concerns. He is still wearing the suit, done for the day, the tie hanging loose.
Only if he would've changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt on the way here. They would've been cuddling in front of the telly right now. Izzie tucked tight under his chin, hand sliding up and down his chest, saying for the thousandth time how much she likes this softy soft t-shirt. One thing would've lead to another, he would carry her to bed in no time. Would.
But he ventured on to find Izzie first, before changing out of his suit, and there she was at the long dinner table, poking at the full plate of already cold food.
It's warm in this room, too warm, as everywhere else on this floor. She is still getting used to the cold East Coast winters, setting the thermostat to some subtropical level with the fireplace on. Of course, she has a summer dress on, yellow with white daisies, and nothing else. Easy access, Nick's lips stretch into a wolfish grin.
Izzie mentioned once that he should be choosing panties for her, and he joked that he's not ready to take their relationship to the next level and left it at that. He wonders what panties she is wearing right now. Maybe he can give it a try. How long would it take him to choose seven panties for a week in advance, a few minutes?
"Can you eat a bit more?" Nick asks.
"I can't." Izzie shakes her head, fidgeting with the fork.
"Do you need an incentive?"
Izzie drops the fork and blushes ever so deeply. Her eyes dart to his and back to the plate. What the fuck did he just say to get this reaction? He would do absolutely anything, get anything in the world for her, if only she would eat more.
She swallows hard, raises her chin a bit, and looks up, but not all the way up, at his face. She is staring at him, but where?
Nick knows that look, the hungry look. During his wild college years there were enough of them with that hungry look, licking their lips absent-mindedly, pouting impatiently, while staring at his cock.
Izzie is so gone by now. Breaths uneven, eyelashes flutter as her stare travels up from where it is and drops back down. Nick straightens his back and hooks the thumbs under the belt. The metal buckle catches the chandelier light. Izzie gulps audibly and turns away. Nick looks down at himself, and it hits him.
"Are you staring at my belt?" She nods in silence. Nick can't admit even to himself, how much it offends him, but he still says it out loud. "You want it more than you want me."
"No, Nicky, I want it, I need it because you wield it."
"And if I won't?"
"I will just secretly crave it."
"What should I do about it? Don't answer," he holds a hand up. "That was a rhetorical question. The incentive, right?" Izzie nods again. "Will you eat after?"
"After after." Which means after the spanking, the aftercare, and the fucking. The whole trifecta.
"If you won't fall asleep," Nick says, because usually she does. She will be fast asleep.
"You can wake me up," Izzie says without raising her eyes at him.
Nick circles the table to get behind her chair. Both hands resting on her shoulders, he whispers the forbidden, "Back door?"
Izzie nods. She does that awfully a lot tonight, nodding. Nick digs his thumbs deeper into the tense muscles, prompting a verbal confirmation.
"Yes," she squirms from the painful massage and the embarrassment. "Yes to back door."
"Alright, spanky." Nick rubs the spot he just dug in to sooth the pain. "Let's get this show on the road, shall we?" Nick reaches for Izzie's hand to pull her up from the table.
Since Izzie soundproofed their bedroom, it became their sole spanking destination. Not a long walk from here, but Nick still holds her hand in his.
Nick nudges the door open to let Izzie through first. Some things never change. One of them are Nick's gentlemanly manners. Bullshit, he's about to cause her pain and make her cry. At her specific request, with her explicit consent. That's what makes this conversation if not normal by other people standards... Wait, it's valid for them, within their rules, their relationship, in their own world, and that's what makes it normal. Nick shakes off the untimely doubts.
"Were you a good girl today, besides not eating?" He cups Izzie's chin, urging her to look him in the eyes.
"Yes, I think."
"Why am I tempted to believe it?"
"Because you want to give me a good girl spanking," she says in a shy whisper.
"Iz, do you want me to order something else for you for after?"
"No, I'll eat it, I promise. It was tasty, just warm it up."
"Yes, ma'am. That plate though, can't go in the microwave, right?" Nick asks.
"No, it has metal in the trim, have to transfer onto a regular plate."
"I can do that." Nick lets go of Izzie's hand to deliver a few sharp swats on her bottom, which elicit a high-pitched squeal of excitement. "I'm all about the warming up business today, am I?"
Posting this story to Saturday Spankings blog (link here) because that's what I do every Saturday.

That was complicated. There were a lot of implied elements in that story.

Can you please elaborate?
DeleteI wrote it as a standalone scene but within Izzie-and-Nick-verse, as all my spanking stories are. In a nutshell, Izzie is a bona fide spanko and was hiding it well for a while. Nick is a vanilla, but naturally dominant. It's about Nick's vanilla to D/s journey with all ebbs and flows. Nick obliges but has tons of doubts and guilt.
It was the eating part. I have an eating disorder, that rears up once in a while, usually during stress related periods. I am confused as to why Izzie won't eat. Is just a lack of desire or a real problem. I think a lot of people with difficulties in this area will be wondering that, after reading the story.

Oh no, I'm so sorry for the confusion. Izzie doesn't have any real problems or eating disorders. I wouldn't suggest a spanking as an incentive or a punishment, if that would be the case.
DeleteNow, a more sensitive or controversial issue, she's pregnant and not eating enough, not gaining weight. I wrote about her first punishment, that mentions that she's pregnant, here: https://soreismore.blogspot.com/2023/02/perception-punishment-spanking.html
Sorry, I missed that one. I just don't have enough time to read a lot of written post blogs. It just tends to be when I have an extra few minutes, in a day.

I think I managed to explain most of the confusion in the latest instalment: https://soreismore.blogspot.com/2023/04/i-is-for-izzies-first-caning.html
DeleteI had the same question about her not eating enough and wondered if it was an image problem or something else. Her pregnancy would add a complication, I think. Even though she is the one who instigates their activities, I'd think her pregnancy would make Nick even more cautious, unless they've already talked to her physician. Another question is why he regrets not having changed first before seeking her out. At first I thought it was Izzy's POV, which also caused questions. But when I re-read it I realized this was from Nick's POV, which made more sense. Even though, I think it would help to give the reader a bit more insight into Nick's thought process so we can understand why he's concerned about Izzy's not eating and why he chose to get to her first without changing like he privately wishes he did. Lots of questions, but I enjoy the scenes.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn, thank you for such a thorough review!
DeleteLet's start with the easy ones:
I've been guilty of head hopping before, but now consciously check for the issue. I thought it was clear that this scene is told from Nick's POV only, but I will double check.
Nick was hoping for a quiet evening. If he wouldn't have the belt on and wouldn't go look for Izzie, the situation would've been avoided. Will try to revise.
I'm always afraid to overexplain (on-the-nose), so sometimes I write too vague and omit so much that it's confusing to the readers.
As per her pregnancy, that's a tough one, it was already mentioned in a few scenes that I've posted and many more that I didn't. The biggest problem is that I have hundreds of pages of a vanilla story, with twists and turns and adventures, including her pregnancy. And then I stumbled into the spanking storyline, which quickly became the main storyline. Torture! Which one to kill or how to let them coexist?
And of course I chose any easy way out, instead of fixing, just wrote more! This time from Izzie's POV:

Hope it answers most of the questions. Posts for G, H, I are instalments of the same story. One more coming up.
I'm sure they can co-exist. I had thought Nick sought out Izzy first before changing because he was worried about her. Since eating is an issue, perhaps the fact her appetite was off and her pregnancy would cause him to go directly to her to check. Maybe he spoke to her on the phone and she sounded "off." He may have even thought after talking, they'd resolved the issue so his check was merely a confirmation. Unfortunately, what he discovers doesn't ease his mind any (Izzy is clearly not eating, and getting proper nutrition during pregnancy is essential), so he proceeds according to her clues. Just a thought. A lot of this could have been covered by an earlier scene. If it is, I'd suggest skipping any revision and go on. I'd love to read it once you have all your scenes combined in a story.
DeleteKathryn, your points are all very much valid!
DeleteSince it's a spanking fiction blog, I try to avoid posting the filler scenes or mentioning secondary and tertiary characters. And now with A to Z challenge, I post plenty of raw material, totally unedited, shame on me. My plot holes are gaping and gasping at me in awe!!
LOL! Yeah when you're trying to follow the alphabet, story continuity is pushed to the wayside out of necessity. No problem!
