Her Sweet Complication Read online

  "My dad is going to be pretty mad when he finds out, you understand that right?"

  "I bet you will be surprised what your dad will say."

  "He knows, doesn’t he? Liam, you told him?"

  "He knows. Your mom doesn’t though, and your dad said to tell you that he does not want her to know because she will feel sorry for helping."

  "Liam, don’t do this ever again."

  "Stay safe and it won’t be an issue."

  "No, Liam, I mean ever."

  Liam answered with a kiss that she, for a couple of seconds, tried to end to make her point, but after only a few moments of effort, she fell into the kiss and participated with her raw and exposed emotions. He slid his hand under her shirt and lifted it, pushing away the bra to suck at her pursed breasts while bringing his hand down to entice her womanly charms to respond to him. And she allowed it because she desperately needed him. Her body was so prepared for him that Jocelyn climaxed quickly under his skillful hand. She sighed her contentment. When she was totally relaxed but coming back to her space in time, he kissed her thoroughly and patted her thigh to indicate it was time to get up.

  "All right, up you go beag amháin, we need to get back to your parents’ for supper. Let me bank the fire and we can go. I know we have a lot to talk about and we will do that before I leave you at school again. You can ride with me part of the way and we can talk. Really talk."

  In the pickup on the way back, Jocelyn asked why Liam had hit harder on the second ten swats. "I didn’t, that was your guilt that made you hurt. I swatted the same. But rest assured, the next time I need to paddle that little bottom, I will do so on the bare."

  Jocelyn thought it better to not respond but take his last statement as a piece of information not needing discussion for she felt she would lose. What else she wasn’t about to talk about was the embarrassing wetness she was immediately aware of between her thighs after the spanking. He had to have known it when he touched her and he did not mention it. She was embarrassed because she always suffered that same malady around Liam, even when she just heard his voice, but this time was different. Her lady bits were gushing long before the spanking ended.

  It was obvious that between the spanking and the orgasm afterward, she was going to have to change her underwear and probably pants before having dinner. She could not sit in her present wet state through dinner. Jos was also irritated that the spanking, not the kissing or even the orgasm brought on the most flooding. She wondered if she was a closet pain freak, one of those crazy people that like to hurt. No, she didn’t enjoy it, so was it the spanking? Wasn’t that a bit perverted? She decided not to dwell on the event, push it out of her mind, a bit regrettably. Maybe, she told herself, if she got up the courage, she would add that to the conversation they would have going back to Sacramento. Maybe.

  During dinner, Rhianna said how nice it was that Liam offered to drive back with her and his sister to school.

  "Mom, did you realize that…" Jocelyn started and her father looked up and Liam, sitting across from Jocelyn, looked straight into her eyes. She read the communication to mean a warning that she should remember their talk.

  Swallowing hard she clenched her bottom and looked away from the message in his eyes.

  "Did you realize that there was a cute cabin down the road about fifteen miles that belongs to one of Liam’s college buddies?"

  "Why yes, Liam told me about it yesterday. I’m sorry about the deceit, Jocelyn, but I wanted you to be safer going back than when you came. I hope you aren’t mad, dear."

  "No, Mom. I get that you were only trying to keep me safe."

  She chanced a look at her father who was sporting a half smile and Liam, who was grinning. They were so much in cahoots that she might as well give it up.

  "Mom, I, we need to leave early tomorrow so can you pack some sandwiches and something to munch on as we go? Since we have to make an additional stop, we won’t have time to waste."

  "Sure, dear."

  Liam left right after eating a slice of the cake that Jocelyn had made before she realized Liam was coming to commandeer her life.

  Liam took her keys and said he would be back first thing in the morning. Jocelyn was going to protest, but one look at his face told her she was better to leave it alone and glancing at her dad, told her no help was coming from that corner of the room. They left at six o’clock arriving in Sheridan at one o’clock in the afternoon.

  Jocelyn had been awkward with Liam at first, right after the cabin incident, just as she had been after their one sexual encounter. But since they were always in separate vehicles the first day, it wasn’t as strange as she had first feared. Liam’s mom was home but none of his other family. Jocelyn had a quick snack and a cup of coffee in the kitchen while Liam checked on a few things and Kelli and her mom finished her packing. Within the hour, they were gone again. They rode together the second day for the majority of the day and discussed more than Jocelyn was comfortable discussing. Liam had decided to leave nothing to conjecture and covered every issue of a long distance relationship as he could. There was no question of where they stood when they arrived in Sacramento.

  Chapter Five

  The Beginning Again

  Once back at college, Liam spent time with Jocelyn, who was struggling to put things in perspective. Jocelyn and Liam had had their conversations on the road and she had accepted that he was really busy on the ranch he had hired onto and had often fallen asleep before calling. She often rehashed the conversations as she contemplated living with a man that had such rigid ideas.

  "You know, I tend to be independent in the things I do, Liam. Are you going to be able to handle that?"

  "Lord, I would hope so. I am not into having a woman need me for every little thing. I want you to do all that you can so long as it is safe."

  "But you don’t think anything is safe."

  She remembered his deep chuckle. "Not true. I think going to class is safe. Going to community events, eating mostly healthy, going to parties with friends where there is no underage drinking is safe. Most of your life is safe, muirnín. Things that are not safe are walking alone after dark, leaving doors unlocked, going to parties where you don’t know people, driving long distances without a co-pilot. Those are not safe. I am very intent on your safety so don’t make it hard for me to keep you safe. And don’t make it so I am worried all the time that something is going to happen to you because you are unsafe."

  "But how do I know if you think something I want to do is unsafe? I mean, if I think it is safe, that should be enough."

  "If you have to ask, then I would say that is your answer. But if you truly are unsure, call me. We will talk about it."

  That was how many conversations went. And discipline was not discussed.

  They agreed to be more open about their feelings and that it was extremely hard to have a long distance relationship. They had even talked about her transferring at the end of the year to a college near him but her major was not supported there.

  They talked more often on the phone, email, text and any other method they could come up with. She also told him she didn’t exactly know how to feel towards him and his lifestyle.

  "Give it time muirnín, sweetheart. If we are good together, the rest will take care of itself."

  "But you spanked me," she whispered into the phone.

  He laughed and said, "And it will happen again, I am sure. As I said, let things take care of themselves. There are some things that we cannot talk through well over the phone. Give it time."

  Indeed, it seemed to do that as time went on and the second semester ended. Liam came to bring Kelli back into the family fold for the summer and Jocelyn found two more occasions in that last week to feel his hand on her angled ass. Neither was near the scorcher that the one in the cabin had been. Merely small lessons in self-control and safety he had said. She could still feel the gush after each incident and would still blush when she allowed her mind to open that memory box. He was
firm but not degrading and she actually felt important and cared for.

  Jocelyn was able to land a summer job as a part-time family advocate for a part of the week and volunteer as an advocate for children the other part of the week. It was near her parents so she took the job and Liam waited for her to be ready to drive back home, going with her. Liam had wanted her to stay at his parents’ so he could see her more often but she didn’t feel she should give up this opportunity. He was in Montana anyway and a fair distance from either home. She enjoyed the work and while the pay was not as she would have wished, she could stay with her family for free. What the summer did was cement her determination to help those who needed and wanted her assistance. And reinforce her feelings for Liam. He was an attentive boyfriend and while she wasn’t always comfortable with his take charge manner, she learned to talk it out and he learned to at least listen to the argument. They had agreed to not make love again until they were certain the commitment would last. The week before she was to return to school, Liam brought her to that little cabin again and laughed when Jocelyn looked startled.

  "No, not a spanking this time unless you need it. No? I think we need to talk."

  Jocelyn felt her anxiety rise and her mind raced through all the things that he possibly wanted to talk about but came up empty. She silently walked into the cabin that he had opened up to the summer breeze. He indicated the sofa that he had held her on after administrating her one and only real spanking. She watched him take her hand and Jocelyn found herself holding her breath.

  "Jocelyn, I feel so right when I am with you. I find that everything I do, I think of how it will affect you and what you would think of it."

  She watched him with love and a dawning joyful realization of his intent as he slipped to his knee on the floor in front of her before he continued, "I love you. I am sure I loved you the moment you stood up to me in the doorway of that dorm and all night, challenging me at every turn. I love your laugh and your cry. I love your righteous indignation and your contented sighs. There is no part of you that I do not adore. There is nothing that we cannot work out. Jocelyn, muirnín, will you marry me?"

  "Yes, yes. I’ll marry you, Liam. I love you."

  Jocelyn knew life with this man was going to be a challenge.

  Liam knew life with this woman was going to be exciting.
