Excerpt:
“Jenny, out there, you are the Chairwoman of the Province of Orre, but here, in private, you are my wife, who did a very, very, stupid and dangerous thing, and who just four days ago gave me permission to punish her if I felt it necessary. It’s necessary.” Michael stared at her with those eyes that she remembered from her first day—those blue eyes that became dark and impenetrable when he was serious, that gave no room for negotiation. She closed her eyes in resignation; he was right, on all counts.
“Where?” she asked softly.
“In the bedroom, over the arm of the lounge chair.” She nodded and stood up to go into the room behind her.
“Ryan, would you like to have your wife observe Jenny’s punishment before she’s punished, too?”
Liz gasped and looked up at Ryan, but she shouldn’t be surprised. She could have—should have—told Jenny ‘no’, for all the reasons they had just talked about. Instead she sneaked out the door like a child.
He took her arm firmly but she wasn’t going to resist. “Why, yes, thank you, I would.” He walked her into the bedroom and Michael shut the door behind them all. Jenny was already bent over the stuffed arm of the chair.
“Liz,” Michael asked, “does Jenny deserve what she’s getting?”
Liz felt like a deer in the headlights.
“Liz, did Jenny risk your life through carelessness?”
“Um, I guess,” she whispered.
“Then would you please sit on the chair and hold her hands to keep her in place?”
She looked up to Ryan but found no sympathy there. Jenny looked up from where her head had dropped into the cushions. “Liz, it’s okay,” she said.
“Jenny, hush. Liz?”
Liz sat down on the wide chair and gathered Jenny’s hands between her own.
“No talking, hold tight, and if she pulls a hand away it doesn’t count.”
Liz nodded.
Michael pulled off his belt. At the sound, Jenny let out a small sob. Liz stroked her hand with her thumb, the only comforting she would be able to do.
