ecstasy that was becoming familiar, at least to him. Meg still had the occasional hard time dealing with her flagrant responses to him, but that didn’t deter him from rocking her with repeated orgasms, wrung from her sometimes in protest, but always lovingly compelled.

Days passed in a flurry of activity – they hit all the usual tourist sites – Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol building – then expanded outward and spent a day at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, visiting the National Aquarium and eating their way through the food malls before taking in a game at Camden Yard and stuffing themselves with lemon ice and hot dogs.

The only thing Meg drew the line at was the National Zoo, which she refused to go to on an animal rights basis. She told Barrett that he could go by himself and she’d revisit the National Gallery, but he wasn’t about to let her wander around DC by herself, and it wasn’t that important to him, although he did point out to her that she was being a hypocrite, being that she owned a cattle ranch, and what did she think happened to all those cows?

They had a good, open argument about animal rights, which had Barrett enjoying himself enormously. He liked to argue, and

was glad she didn’t back down from him when she felt strongly about something. Their occasional philosophical arguments reinforced his feeling that he’d been right to marry her. She fit him emotionally and intellectually as well as physically.

They did some sightseeing in Virginia and Pennsylvania, doing day trips to Gettysburg and Williamsburg before going to Florida to indulge Barrett’s love of amusement parks by single-handedly funding the next Disney animated feature – at least that’s what it seemed to Meg it must’ve cost them between staying in the park and all of the other money they spent – and, hell, they didn’t even have children – yet.

That had been a topic of one of their late night discussions, in sensual glow of the aftermath, they discussed children, which they both wanted. But not yet, Barrett had said firmly. He wanted some time with her alone, as a couple, before they brought anybody into the equation. So she would stay on the pill for at least a year and half, two years or so. To himself, he figured that it would probably take at least that amount of time for her to get settled into the relationship – to learn what he expected of her and what she could expect of him. He was certain the first six months or so was going to be hard on the two of them – her bottom and his hand.

But he knew that eventually, she’d settle into it and the frequency of punishments would diminish.

The closest she came during the entire time to getting a spanking was toward the end of their stay at Disneyworld. He was glad to see that she didn’t react violently to an orgasm each and every time, but if there was any amount of build-up or it had been a few days since she came, it was almost inevitable that she would try to get as far away from him as possible while shaking and crying out her orgasm.

After one particularly savage peak, Meg had faced him, holding her arms around herself as he wished he were doing, as she cowered on the edge of the bed, hanging one foot inches from the carpeting. “Don’t do it,” he warned in a soft tone. “You don’t want to earn yourself a bottom blistering on your honeymoon, Darlin’. It would be awfully uncomfortable to sit on on all those rides and in the car and everything.” Barrett held his arms open to her, offering her the solace of his arms, but she couldn’t accept it.

He was the cause of her turmoil.

She had almost decided to defy him when he tackled her from behind and subdued her easily against him, the muscular band of his arms absorbing her puny struggles as if they didn’t exist. He whispered soothing nothings, talking to her as if she were a skittish filly, and as he continued to rumble love words into her ear, a very deep, intrinsic part of herself responded to his firm, loving tone and she stopped fighting him.

“That’s my baby, shhhhhh,” he soothed, turning her onto her back and settling into her possessively. Barrett was of a mind that when she was this scared and uncontrollable, it was good for her to accept him completely, submitting her body to his reinforced their true bond.

The last day of their honeymoon was spent accomplishing absolutely nothing of any value. They lay around the pool, went out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then indulged in a little dancing at one of the area nightclubs. For a large man, Barrett was extremely graceful and a very good dancer. Meg had danced very little, and was very self-conscious, but she let him guide her through the steps, enjoying the feel of his body close to hers and the tender care with which he held her.

The next morning, they reluctantly boarded the company plane and flew back to the real world, where a limo met them at the

airport to take them back to the ranch. Mandy was nowhere to be found when they got home, but barks and whines greeted them from two eager pups instead. Meg got her things unpacked, then started on Barrett’s stuff, when he came into their room to do just that he found she was almost done.

He caught her from behind and drew her back against him, nuzzling her ear. “Thank you for unpacking for me, wife.”
