for her behavior, and he left her in a temper.
"Please, let me go!" Jenny cried out, trying to push her skirts down to cover her undergarment. "This is so embarrassing!"
"A spanking should be embarrassing, and it should sting like fire, and see to it that sitting isn't comfortable for a while." He spanked again and then again.
Jenny squealed. How he could put so much into one spank with his hand was beyond her! Mr. MacGregor didn't hurt her nearly as much with his leather tawse! "Please, no more! I'm sorry!"
"Jenny, you are the one who reminded me that you are not a little girl, and I'm not going to insult you with a child's spanking. You are going to get a spanking worthy of your age and the tantrum you've been having ever since your boss gave you a few swats with his tawse. His problem was that he spanked you like a little girl when he should have larruped you good."
"He shouldn't have spanked me at all!" Jennifer raged. "And neither should you! If my Papa was still living, he wouldn't permit anyone to treat me like this!" she insisted.
"Did your Papa ever do this... or this?" Alex asked, smacking her cheeks with vigor.
"Owwww!" No! Of course not!" she insisted. "Let me go, you jerk!"
"Calling me names while I have you turned up for a spanking isn't the smartest thing you could do, Miss Jenny," he said quietly, but his eyes were full of good humor. "Now then, let's get serious about this spanking. You are going to promise me that you'll stay away from Lefty and get rid of this idea of revenge. Do you hear me?" he demanded, giving her rump a hearty smack.
"You are not the boss of me, U. S. Marshal Alex Martin!"
Chapter Two
"I might not be the boss of you, Miss Jenny, but I do care about you, and I'm not about to let a sweet little lady like you go after a jerk like Lefty Bridges. The man is not right in his head and he would love nothing more than a chance to get his hands on you. You, young lady, are not going to give him that opportunity. Is that clear?" Alex brought his hand down on her little bottom once again, and then twice more when she did not answer him right away. "Miss Jenny, you are making this spanking a lot worse than I planned for it to be. Your being stubborn only hurts you. Now, settle down and be serious." He whacked her rounded, cotton drawers once again.
"Why are you spanking me? I haven't done anything wrong!" Jennifer cried out. "Lefty is the one who wronged me, and I won't apologize for being angry! I just won't! You let me go right now!"
"Not until you give up this foolish idea of getting even." He gave her another hard crack, but this time he aimed for her tender sit spots. Jenny cried out in pain. "What Lefty would do to you is worse than this little spanking that you are finding so painful," he announced. He continued to spank her sit spots until she was crying and begging him to stop. "Are you going to behave now?" he asked.
Jennifer couldn't stand the thought of any more spanking! Her poor bottom was on fire and she felt raw. Getting a spanking at her age was simply humiliating and she would never forgive Alex Martin for treating her so shabbily! Jennifer knew that he would continue to spank her until she said what he wanted to hear. She closed her eyes and sobbed out the one word she hoped would stop the ordeal. "Yes!"
"Now, there's a good girl," Alex praised her, completely unaware that he was only making the redhead angrier by the moment. He pulled down her skirts, and then gently helped her to her feet. When Jenny reached back to rub her bottom he grabbed her hands in his. "No rubbing allowed, Miss Jenny. You are to wear this spanking until it goes away all on its own. It will be a good reminder that you need to learn to control your temper, and leave certain matters to men to deal with, and, little lady, you are too sweet to be telling the Sheriff how to do his job; hear me?" he asked.
Jenny couldn't help herself; she was beyond angry with Alex Martin, and she drew back
