later when he said, "I didn't want to start out our marriage by having to punish you, sweetheart."
"It wasn't how I saw us beginning, either," she admitted. "I know you love me, Jake, and I know I was wrong today. I'll be more careful from now on."
"Thanks, baby. I couldn't bear losing you now that I've found you," he said in a hoarse voice.
"Am I permitted to seduce you now?" she asked hopefully.
"I really wish you would," he begged. "I want my wife so badly I ache, but if you're too sore, or too upset, I won't insist. It's your call, sweetheart."
"I ache, too, but it's because I need to feel forgiven, Jake."
He smiled and easily lifted her in his arms and carried her to their bedroom. Since they both wanted the same thing, there was no sense in denying either of them.

"You aren't to leave the office for any reason, Kari. Not for lunch, not in a group, not to run an errand for your boss. You are to stay there, inside your offices, until I come to pick you up. If something comes up, call me right away. Do you have any questions, or want me to repeat the rules?" he asked, his tone full of concern.
"I understand, Jacob," she smiled at him, and then said, "You've repeated the rules at least four times now," she teased lightly.
"I don't want to let you out of my sight," he admitted. "I really wish you would consider taking a leave of absence," he asked her once more.
"I don't want to lose my job, darling," she got up to get the coffee pot and pour another cup of coffee for him, and for herself, and to give her sore bottom a brief respite from the chair, which desperately needed a soft cushion. "Mr. McCrady took a chance on me when I was new in town and just fresh out of college, and I don't want to repay him by leaving him in the lurch. He has been so patient while I was ill, and I'm anxious to get back to work and prove to him that he didn't make a mistake by hiring me, Jake." She was repeating herself, too. "I promise I will not leave the office for any reason. I will order lunch in, or ask one of the others to bring me something. I won't run any errands, which is something I'm never asked to do anyway, and I will stay inside the office until you personally arrive to pick me up. If there is any problem at all, I will call you immediately. I don't have any desire to upset you or worry you, Jake, and I do not plan to earn another spanking for a very long time. My bottom is very sore, and I am delighted that my desk chair is very well padded," she added virtuously. "I'm not a child, honey; I understand the danger now."
Jake nodded. "I love you, sweetheart, and I'll try not to be controlling."
"We'll find our way," she leaned down and kissed him, and then started clearing their dishes. "Drink your coffee, please. I don't want to be late my first day back," she said in an exaggeratedly bossy manner that made him chuckle.
"You just sounded like Ma!" he teased.
"I love her to pieces," she admitted with a grin.
Jake locked the house tight and then drove his wife to work. Kari was surprised when he parked his car and walked her inside. She'd expected to be dropped off in front of the office, but that wasn't Jake's style. He took protecting her quite serious, and he wanted to see where she worked and see the office that was hers. Kari proudly introduced him to all of her co-workers, and then she knocked on Mr. McCrady's office door, and when he said, "Come in," she took Jake inside to meet her boss.
Jake decided he liked the older man, and he explained why he was concerned for Kari's safety. Mr. McCrady assured Jake that he would personally see to it that Kari wasn't left alone in the offices, and he promised to be wary of any calls from prospective new clients. He explained to Jake that he personally did all of the interviewing and then assigned clients to the account managers. Jake nodded in understanding, and when he kissed Kari goodbye a few minutes later he felt a bit better about leaving her at work. He
