I’d never heard of Reverend Lynch, but he made my hackles rise as soon as Elaine spoke his name. Her stance shifted, scared even after all these years.

“He touched you, didn’t he?”

She looked away from me as she answered with a nod of her head. It took her a few long seconds to speak again.

“First of all, it was punishment. I had to write lines out for him in my neatest handwriting on my very first day in his lessons. He let the other girls leave when they were done, but he made me stay, saying I hadn’t done well enough.” She took a breath before she continued. “I was writing them until late, until I was falling asleep in my chair since I was so tired from the night before. That’s when he came up to me and slammed his hand down on my desk.”

My heart was pounding as I waited for her to continue, and not in a good way.

Her voice was so gentle as she carried on talking.

“He tore up my lines and said I was a very bad girl for not giving enough care and attention. He pulled me up to my feet and pushed me forwards over the desk, and then he told me what he was going to do to me, and he was so strong and so sure and made me feel like such a naughty little girl . . .”

“He spanked you, didn’t he?”

She nodded, and her cheeks were pinking up. “Yeah, he spanked me. He lifted my skirt up and he spanked me over my panties. I was so embarrassed, but I bit my lip, not wanting to say anything or let him realize just how naughty I felt.”

“What did he do after it? Make you carry on with your lines?”

“No,” she said. “He acted like it was the most normal thing in the world that he’d hit me and called Margaret back in to march me upstairs. I tried to tell her that he’d hurt me and I needed to ring my mother, but she kept her face stern and grabbed me by the arm when we got to my room. There’s nothing wrong with accepting punishment through Reverend Lynch’s hands, she told me, he’s the messenger of our Lord. I thought she was right. I thought Mom would get mad about me needing that sort of punishment.”

I tipped my head to the side and tried to act nonchalant, but it was hard. I felt anything but calm at her words. Under regular circumstances I’d have expected to be cold as all fuck at the thought of a young, bitchy little Elaine Constantine getting a spanking over a school desk, but I wasn’t. My fists were struggling not to clench at my sides.

“How often did he punish you?”

She shrugged. “I was sent there every weekend in the beginning, even though I was screaming not to. Uncle Lionel was telling Mom just how much good it would be doing me, and she was happy about it.
