Chapter Nine

The first two weeks were rough. Eric watched her like a hawk and never gave an inch on any rule he laid down. Colin had let things slide all the time, probably because baby girls were expected to break rules and make mistakes. Eric never treated her like a child. Maybe if he had she would’ve responded better because she could’ve slipped back into old familiar roles where rebellious former foster kid Laci didn’t exist.

Instead, he made her keep to a schedule. When he got up in the morning, he expected her to get up, too. It was a huge battle the first few days. He actually carried her into the shower and turned the cold water on. He’d had to block her means of escape of course, which meant he ended up drenched by the icy water, too. This did not put either of them in a good mood.

One good thing was that Eric didn’t sulk or hold grudges. They might be silent while drinking their coffee, but when she glared at him, he didn’t glare back. Instead, he moved on with their day. He’d check the news stories on the net and mention things he thought might be of interest to her. She sulked a bit at first and gave surly responses like, “I don’t care,” to questions he asked, but eventually she chilled out and started to let him engage her. It helped that being exhausted from getting up early helped her sleep all night.

She thought he might end up spanking her all day long, but he was measured in that, too. After she was spanked hard once during the day, the next punishment wasn’t a spanking. She had to swish and spit with soapy water for five minutes for calling him a fucking asshole. He made her stand in the corner several times and twice made her read aloud from some of Colin’s excruciatingly boring engineering textbooks. It was mind-numbing, but she couldn’t simply resist because if she tried to walk away from Eric, he physically stopped and restrained her and that quickly turned too sexy for comfort.

She found it easier to comply than to risk getting too close to him. Also, most of his rules and routines were simpler and less disruptive to her day than Colin’s had been.

By the third week, they’d settled into a routine that was actually pretty great. She was even painting again. True, she’d mostly gone out there at first to escape him when things turned too hot between them, but eventually she started working and then everything changed for the better for her.

She felt a little bit guilty that Eric had been the one to cause her to start painting again since it was Colin’s illness that had stopped her from being able to do it. Colin had discovered her and, from then on, had been her biggest supporter and patron. Eric had never studied art history. He didn’t know anything about painting techniques or any of the important works of the past fifty years.
