*****

The next few weeks went by surprisingly fast, and to Reggie’s surprise she found that

Alex was actually easy to live with. Oh, there were ups and downs, and she found herself on a

sharp learning curve at times.

Like when it came to her eating habits, or lack thereof. About a week after her spanking

she’d hopped on the scales and practically screamed in shock.

When Alex had raced into the bathroom, deep concern on his face, she’d dropped off the

scales and tried to unobtrusively push them back beneath the sink.

“What’s wrong? Did you hurt yourself?”

“No, no.” She blushed as he turned her in a full circle obviously searching for bruises or

bleeding. “I’m fine, Alex. I just saw a gray hair,” she lied.

He stood back and crossed his arms, while staring down at her with one eyebrow quirked.

By now she knew that look. Knew it meant she was getting herself into trouble.

“What would you need to hide so badly that you’d lie to me?” His voice was soft, calm,

and all the scarier for it. Reggie gulped, feeling ridiculously vulnerable as she stood there, naked

to his fully dressed, blushing and stammering to his calm and cool.

Her chin rose as she threw her shoulders back. She might be naked but she still had some

pride.

“Some things are still private, Alex. I don’t have to tell you everything.”

His eyes narrowed, and she almost lost her nerve. Then he nodded. “You’re right, some

things are private.” Reggie’s shoulders slumped in relief.

“However, there will be no secrets between us, and there will certainly be no lies. When I

ask you a question I expect an honest answer. If you lie to me, your butt will pay. If you keep

things from me, your butt will pay, if you break the rules, your butt will pay. You know this,

Reagan, and yet you’re still lying, and you’re still keeping secrets.” A surge of guilt raced

through Reggie as she bit at her lower lip.

“Some things are private, but nothing that causes you to scream and turn pale is going to

be.”

She wrinkled her nose at him as her bottom tingled in a warning that she didn’t need. She

already knew she was in trouble.

“So what the hell is private?” she asked, disgruntled.

His lips quirked up in a smile as he drawled. “Not much, darlin’, not much.”

Breathing out a sigh, she stomped her foot in growing frustration while he stood there

calmly waiting.

“Damn it, Alex. I don’t want to tell you.”

“Then you shouldn’t have lied. If it’s something worth lying about then I think it’s

something I need to know about. What caused you to scream?” His voice became harder,

implacable, and she knew he was capable of waiting right there until she answered him.

Stubborn bloody male.

“The scales. The scales caused me to scream,” she admitted reluctantly as he allowed her

to push past him and walk into the bedroom.

“The scales caused you to scream?” he spoke slowly as if she was acting a bit slow.

“Not the scales themselves,” she hissed as she searched for some clothes. “The fact that

I’ve put on weight.” She didn’t dare look at him; instead she tensed as she stared into the

wardrobe.
