much to agree but found herself wondering if Edward would agree that walking about the garden would be a good way to spend her time. She looked around and saw Mrs. Bremmer. She was surprised to see the older woman smile.
“I think that is a lovely idea. I’m sure Lucy would appreciate a walk. Lunch will be ready when you return and then Lucy may return to her studies. Go along, Lucy.” Lucy jumped up practically knocking her chair over in her excitement. Charles was a bit shocked but delighted to see her so anxious. He held out his arm and she shyly put her hand into the crook of his elbow. He led her out of the house and onto the path that would lead them throughout the lovely gardens. Lucy drank in the fresh air, the breeze feeling wonderful against her flushed face. She had no idea that her professor couldn’t keep his eyes off her. He saw an astonishingly beautiful young woman on his arm. He hadn’t truly seen her before. Though he had taught both her and her sister, seeing them in an environment outside of the school removed the veil from his eyes. Charles realized he no longer thought of her as his student; ever since yesterday he had been thinking of her as a woman and also as a possible wife. He wondered if she could have similar thoughts. He found himself stopping near the exact same spot he had stood to listen to her punishment the day before. He glanced towards the house and lifted his head as if listening for the quiet echo of her cries. Lucy had no idea he was remembering the sweet sound of her voice raised in agony as she was being paddled for failing her first exam. She began to grow restless when he didn’t continue their walk.
“Professor?” she said quietly. “Do you want to return to the house?” He seemed to shake himself and then looked down at her. His own face flushed at the delicious memory. He knew, of course, that students were subject to corporal discipline at the school but he had never even spanked a woman before, much less paddled or caned one. He wondered what it would feel like to have this woman bent forward, offering her bottom for correction. His thoughts went further as he imagined what her bottom would look like as it was bared to him for his hand to stroke, to pat and then to actually spank. He wondered what it would sound like as she cried under his own hand as her porcelain skin began to redden. He wondered if she would beg and plead for mercy or simply cry with the pain of his spanking. He felt himself stir inside his pants and he blushed again. Lucy was amazed to see him color and wondered what he must be thinking. She followed his gaze and saw him staring at the open window of what appeared to be Edward’s study.
She suddenly understood what he was thinking about. “Oh,” she said quietly.
Her tone caused Charles to glance down at her and he saw her discomfort. He was immediately ashamed of himself and his indecent thoughts. “You are right, Miss Furniss. We should return and continue your studies. I want you to do very well on your last practice exam. I don’t want you to have to repeat your discomfort of yesterday’s failure.” Lucy knew what he meant and knew he must have been able to hear her cries when Edward had paddled her yesterday. Her face was quite flushed and she didn’t speak though her stomach was churning. What must he think of her; of Lord Wintercrest? Feeling her tremble, Charles placed his hand over hers.
“Please, Lucille, don’t…don’t be embarrassed. I assure you that I have nothing but the highest regard for you despite your…um, your…” He knew he was simply making the poor girl feel worse and had no idea how to continue his thoughts. Instead, he patted her hand and turned back towards the house. Lucy was highly embarrassed and Anna noticed both seemed flushed after they entered the house. The table had been cleared and they sat down
