” The next two strikes went across her thighs, and she squirmed, shifting from foot to foot. “Four.” A hand stroked her cheek. “You’re being...a good girl for your punishment.”She lost track of the next three, the man in front of her counting each of them. A hand stroked over her burning ass as if to try and soothe the pain and she sighed softly, slowly relaxing underneath the touch. “One to go good girl,” the man in front of her murmured, before closing his hand around her mouth. The last strike. "Look at it from my point of view. I go out of my way to rescue a damsel, apparently in distress, and ask for nothing in return. At every juncture I get questioned by said damsel."
