As we walk out of the trees I am still sniffling softly and my bottom is still hot from my punishment. The stripes from the branches hurt, but my hand in Papa Bear’s is a soft comfort. I know I should not have moved the butterfly that is still buzzing ever so gently against my lips.
“Do you see the beach?” he asks gently and squeezes my hand. I feel the butterfly stop.
I press my head against his arm and pant gently. I have never been edged so much and the cool lake wind feels good after walking so far. “Yes Papa Bear. It looks beautiful.”
“Do you see the boat?” His lips kiss my forehead. I squint and see a small sailboat. I giggle at the little flag with a bear paw on it.
I blush and try to hide my face as we walk along the beach towards the boat. Papa Bear turns the butterfly on again and I can’t help my moans. I hear shocked expressions and gasps and even some giggles as the beach goers notice my stripes and know I have been a naughty girl. Papa Bear holds my hand and chuckles softly as I squirm.
