Charming Isabella (7 page)

The day was perfect. Nancy and Izzy enjoyed breakfast with their aunt and uncle. Beth gave Nancy the garter she had worn during her own wedding for the ‘something borrowed’. Nancy cried at the emotional gift and then cried again as Izzy gave her a small antique sapphire butterfly pendant to cover both the ‘something old and something blue’. By the time the wedding party arrived, the excitement of the day was palpable. Beth hurried Nancy upstairs to get dressed, while Izzy stood on the porch to greet the groom and his best man. Jack looked a bit nervous but was smiling hugely as Izzy told him to hurry up and get dressed.

Coleman waited until Jack entered the house and then pulled Izzy to him.
“Good morning Isabella. How is my beautiful girl today?” Izzy giggled, which he stifled with his mouth, pressed hard against hers.

By the time he released her
, she was breathless. “Good morning, Cole. I’m fine, but it is the bride that is beautiful.” His eyes darkened for just a moment and then he bent rest his forehead against hers.

“
I’ll give you a break this once, honey, but no more warnings. You are beautiful and everyone but you seems to know that.” She started to blush and deny, but his eyes held her captive. She nodded and he smiled, his eyes crinkling. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. “I know the bride gets presents today, but I wanted to give you something that will help you remember our talk last night.”

She smiled, her heart pounding.
He lifted the lid off the box, and she gasped. Lying on a piece of cotton was a silver bracelet. He took it out of the box and she saw something hanging from it. She touched it with a finger and said, “It’s beautiful… it’s a charm bracelet.” He grinned and put it around her wrist. He turned it until she could see the charm lying on the top of her skin. Her insides turned to mush. The tiny charm was an exact replica of a baby shoe. Her eyes teared, and she couldn’t speak for a moment.

“
Do you like it?” he asked, his voice hesitant for the first time.

She nodded and then leaped
into his arms. “I love it; God, it is just perfect. Thank you, thank you.”

He took a deep breath and then bent to kiss her again.
He felt her heart beating against his and knew he’d picked the perfect gift. He heard her moan and felt his cock shift. God, this woman turned him on with just a kiss. He set her back and said, “I’m glad you like it, sweetheart. It’s to remind you that the journey might be a bit rough, but one baby step after another will get us there.” She nodded, her heart too full to speak. He looked up to see Beth standing in the doorway. She smiled at him and he saw her wipe her eyes. He felt himself flush a bit and then grinned. He kissed Izzy once again and said, “We’d better get going; we need to go give the bride her gift.”

Izzy looked up
, surprised, but nodded. She turned to see her Aunt and couldn’t keep the smile off her face or her hand from touching the charm hanging from her wrist. She skipped up the steps and held up the bracelet. Her heart was fluttering, just seeing the small charm swing from her wrist. Beth told her it was beautiful and then stepped aside as Coleman led Izzy up the stairs.

“
Hey, you can’t go in there,” Izzy said, as Coleman started towards Nancy’s room.

He turned and grinned
, “Giving the orders is my job, Isabella.”

Her heart lurched but she nodded slowly.
“Um, I know, but… well, she’s probably not decent.”  His grin widened and he wagged his eyebrows up and down. She giggled and whispered, “You know what I mean. Everyone is dressing!”

Laughing
, he bent to kiss her quickly. “Honey, I know that. She is, however, missing strategic parts of her ensemble, and I’ve been tasked to reapply them.”

Knowledge surged through Izzy
, and she smiled. “The butterflies.” He nodded. “Okay, but first, may I please go in and make sure the bride is either alone or doesn’t care that the entire female portion of the wedding party knows that Jack wants her clamped, um, Sir?”

He was
highly pleased at both her request and her address. He pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. “That’s my girl. Go on, but make it quick. Jack needs help getting ready as well.”

She nodded and stepped into the room
, after a quick knock. The room was full of females in various stages of dress. Nancy looked up and said, “Where have you been? I thought you were right behind me.”

I
zzy smiled and went to her friend. “I was just welcoming Jack and Cole, but I need to ask you something in private.” Nancy was intrigued. Since when did Coleman become Cole? She smiled and pulled Izzy towards the closet. They both stepped inside the large walk-in.

“
And how is your Coleman today?” She loved seeing Izzy smile, and as she lifted her hand to tuck a stray strand of long hair behind her ear, Nancy saw the bracelet. She grabbed Izzy’s wrist and looked at it. “Oh Iz, it’s gorgeous. It’s a baby shoe… oh, God, how romantic!” Izzy couldn’t stop smiling, loving her friend’s reaction. She was just about to go into how wonderful it was, when a loud knock pounded on the door.

“
Oh God, it’s Cole. Um, he needs to put the butterflies back on you, Nance. I asked him if he’d let me see if you wanted it done in private—you know, without the others seeing?”

Nancy grinned at the thought of Jack
’s special gift. She hugged Izzy and said, “Honey, you are just too sweet. No, it’s fine. You know all of us used to play together, and I have nothing to hide. Go let him in before he breaks down the door.”

Izzy nodded and was soon opening the door after warning the others that a man was about to come in.
Robes were grabbed and wrapped around half-naked bodies by the time Coleman stepped into the room. Izzy felt uncertain of what to say, but Coleman simply nodded and said, “Good morning, ladies. I am Jack’s emissary and have a gift for our bride.” The girls all giggled as they watched Nancy approach the good-looking man. “Hello Nancy, you are looking stunning today. Are you ready?”

Nancy nodded
. “I’ve missed them.” He grinned, and she opened her robe, exposing herself to him. Rather than seemed shocked, the girls gathered around, oohed and ahhed as he gently attached the butterflies to their intended places.

He stood
, and as the others told Nancy how hot and gorgeous she was, he took Izzy aside. “Not anywhere nearly as beautiful as you, Isabella.” She blushed and said, “Wait until you see her in her dress and me in mine. I’ll be the one with the big butt you won’t be able to miss.” She was half-joking but understood immediately that she had just made a big mistake.

He turned to Nancy and said
, “Honey, I’ll see you soon. I’m just going to borrow Isabella for a few more minutes.” Izzy was shaking her head behind Coleman silently begging for Nancy to insist that she stay. However, she should have known better. Nancy was a far more obedient submissive than that.

“
Sure thing, Sir. Thanks again for helping with Jack’s gift.” Coleman stepped to give her a quick kiss on her cheek.

“
You are welcome, sweetheart. This shouldn’t take too long.” Nancy nodded and smiled over at her maid of honor. Izzy was looking uncomfortable but was not trying to flee or pull her arm from his hand. Coleman firmly led Izzy to the door, and they were soon through it. “Where is your room Isabella?” Her mind screamed for her not to answer, but her heart allowed her to point down the hall. He nodded, and they were soon standing beside her bed. Izzy’s heart was thudding and her legs began to shake.

“
I’m sor….” she started to say, but he held up his hand.

“
Too little, too late.” He looked up to see her shaking all over. Sighing, he sat down on the bed and drew her down onto his lap. Surprised, she stiffened and then leaned her cheek against his chest. He stroked her hair and down her back until she calmed and settled against him.

She finally looked up at him and said
, “I am sorry, Sir. I shouldn’t have said that. I know you don’t like it.” He nodded and was surprised when she added, “Are you going to spank me now?”

His heart lurched
, and he looked deep into her upturned face. Her bottom lip was held between her teeth; her cheeks were flushed, and yet her eyes were calm. He knew this would be a huge step. One part of him wanted to simply kiss her, so that she knew how much she meant to him. A larger part understood that she needed him to lead her on the path they were to take together. If he failed her now, how could she ever truly believe in his authority or his promises? He bent to kiss the top of her head and said, “Yes, Isabella. Stand up.” She closed her eyes briefly and then nodded. She pushed herself off his lap and was soon standing between his knees. He saw that while she looked nervous, she was no longer shaking like she was going to fly apart. He reached out and picked up the charm hanging from her bracelet. “Baby steps, sweetheart, baby steps.”

She nodded and whispered
, “Yes Sir.” His heart settled and swelled with pride.

“
Since this will be your first spanking, I’ll guide you through it. Just do as I say, and know that I’ll keep you safe.” He waited until she gave another nod. “When you are going to get a spanking, you will stand like you are but lift your dress or lower your pants and we will discuss why you are being spanked.” She felt her insides churn but very slowly lifted her sundress until the material was held at her waist. She was embarrassed standing so exposed in front of him and felt her stomach flip with both tension and arousal. Coleman continued. “That’s my girl. Now, tell me why you are going to get a spanking, Isabella.” She opened her mouth but no sound came out. “Baby steps, sweetheart.”

She heard his voice and looked down at her bracelet.
It gave her the strength she so desperately needed. “I belittled myself, Sir. I… I was just teasing.”

“
Don’t add to your naughtiness by telling lies, Isabella. You’ll find those spankings are far more unpleasant.” He saw her blush but nod in understanding. “You’ve been warned several times, haven’t you, Isabella?”

“
Yes, Sir.”

“
Good girl. You are beautiful, sweetheart, and it hurts me to think you don’t know that. I won’t allow you to insult the woman that I care about so much. I’ll continue to redden your bottom until you learn that lesson.” She gulped but nodded again. “Good girl. Now I want you to push your panties to your knees and lie over my lap.” She blushed but found her hands in the waistband of her panties, even as she began to shake and whimper a bit. Coleman saw her hesitate and held his breath. She closed her eyes and lowered her panties a few inches. His heart thudded as he saw her beauty being uncovered. She was a definite natural redhead and his cock reacted swiftly. She looked up at him, tears swimming in her eyes. He saw the conflict in her eyes as well. “Do you need me to help you this time?” She nodded and he very gently but his hands on top of hers. Together they lowered her panties to her knees. She was trembling harder as he guided her down across his knees. “That’s perfect, Isabella; you are doing so well.” She moaned but didn’t protest as he adjusted her until her hands were flat on the floor in front of her. She was so small that her feet didn’t reach the ground behind her. Her bottom was perched on top of his knees, and God, it was a thing of beauty. She had a heart-shaped bottom, both cheeks round and full. He felt his cock shift again and knew she could feel his arousal.

He gathered her tighter against him with one arm and ran the other hand across her pale bottom.
She shivered and then gave a small moan. His cock twitched yet again. He took a deep breath and lifted his hand, but just before he brought it down, she began to fight and twist against him, thrashing and keening with absolute terror. He swiftly had her upright and was holding her tight against him as she beat her hands against his chest and sobbed hysterically. Her reaction had not only surprised him; it had shocked him, as well. He wouldn’t allow her to pull away; instead he wrapped both arms around her, rocking her back and forth.

“
Sh, Isabella, baby, it’s okay. You’re safe, honey. It’s okay; you are okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” It took several minutes of his continual reassurance before he felt her slump against him, no longer fighting, though her tears didn’t stop. “Oh Bella, I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s okay, honey, talk to me.” She gradually quieted and then stopped crying.

She wiped her eyes with the backs of her hands and said
, “Oh God, I’m so… sorry! I was just so scared.”

He let out his pent up breath and realized that
he wanted to beat the living shit out of this “Bryan”, for causing this wonderful woman such pain.  “Honey, it’s fine. I’m not going to spank you. You are safe with me. I’m proud of you, Bella.” She finally looked up and saw the truth in his eyes.

“
You’re not spanking me?”

“
No, sweetie. Baby steps, remember? I know you tried, and I’m really proud of you. I know how hard this was for you. I swear I’m never going to hurt you. You’ll never need to be afraid again.”

She watched him as he bent to kiss her lightly.
She tentatively kissed him back and thought about his words. He continued to simply hold her. She lifted her head and said, “Jack told you didn’t he?”
