Charity had been standing watching Seth spank Tasha. She was already crying in fear for her friend when Seth pushed Tasha onto the floor. Charity glared at Seth and rushed to comfort Tasha. When Charity got within reach Seth grabbed her and pulled her over his lap. He began spanking her using his other hand. He spanked her until she was a crying writhing mess and his hand was throbbing with pain. He pushed Charity onto the cave floor where she laid crying beside Tasha.
Seth sat and glared down at his women. His voice was shaking as he once again began speaking. He said, “Look, I understand you are trying to help. I understand that. I love you both and I know you love me too but you disobeyed me. I told you it was dangerous digging the gold out and you promised me you would only work in the main shaft. I saw where the cave in was in that new shaft you dug. That’s how you both got those scratches and bruises last week wasn’t it?”
Tasha and Charity looked guiltily at each other then they both quietly said “Yes.”
Seth continued talking. He said, “I don’t want to lose either of you. I can’t stand the thought of you being hurt or killed here. I trusted you to do what you promised and only work in the safer part of the mine. If I can’t trust you in this how can I trust you in other things? You gave me your word then broke it. A person’s word is their bond.”
Both women were crying even harder than just after their spankings. Tasha walked slowly up to Seth and wrapped her arms around him. He placed his right arm around her and pulled her to him. When Charity saw that she moved to his left side and he wrapped her in his left arm. Tasha said, “I am so sorry Honey. I really didn’t think about it like that. We wanted to make you proud of us. We just wanted to help and got excited and carried away with digging out all the gold for you. We haven’t dug any more since the cave in. That scared us enough we stopped and have only been working on what we had dug out before and piled in the main shaft.
“Please forgive us. We just didn’t think about being in danger or what breaking our word meant. We just got so excited we lost sight of things for a while. We won’t ever dig or work in the mine without clearing it with you first.”
Seth sighed. He pulled the women closer to him and said, “Ok, I suppose there’s no real harm done but it could have been a lot worse. If you ever do something like this again though…Well, I really don’t know what I’ll do but I promise to make a real believer of you if that happens. Maybe I’ll take you back to Gramps and let him help me decide on a punishment for you in that case.”
Tasha’s eyes got big around and she gasped. She stepped back from Seth and said in a shocked, scared voice, “Oh, NO. Please don’t ever do that. I don’t even want to think about the way he would advise you to punish us. He and Granny are real believers of following the old ways as much as possible. I promise now you never have to worry about me ever again my Husband.”
“Ok. Well let’s see what you’ve done and see if I can figure out how to continue.”
