Chapter 462 A Special Punishmen (1/2)

”P-Punishment?” Although Marlene knew that Rhode wouldn't hurt her, she was still rather nervous when she heard it from him. Her tender, delicate body trembled under the chilly night breeze while she gazed at the man before her with widened eyes. There was a conflict of unspeakable fear and expectations deep inside Marlene's heart.

”That's right, punishment.” Rhode held a finger against Marlene's lips. ”You have to be punished for telling lies, Marlene. Weren't you taught this when you were young? An obedient child shouldn't tell lies and a naughty child who tells lies will be punished…”

”Indeed there were… such teachings, but… but…” Marlene stuttered.

”But? Didn't you just lie to me? Shouldn't you be punished? Or are you insisting that you lie however you want since you're all grown up now?”

”No, of course not…” Marlene puckered her brows. Although Rhode did make sense, she shouldn't be punished, right? ”No, I have admitted my mistake, Rhode. So… you shouldn't punish me anymore,”

”For you to say this… means that you haven't learned the seriousness of your mistake, Marlene,” Under the radiant moonlight, Rhode was presenting his usual calm expression. However, Marlene felt as though there was a strange radiance emanating in Rhode's eyes: that was an exceptionally bright, yet abnormally dangerous radiance. For unknown reasons, it was precisely this fear that left her hair standing on end that there had a deadly and strange appeal. Marlene gaped and was speechless.

The corner of Rhode's mouth curved as he rolled Marlene over to expose her back to him.

”R-Rhode? Wait, what are you doing?” With her stomach lying flat on the bed, Marlene could no longer see where Rhode was exactly. She struggled to turn around, however, her body was quicker to realize what Rhode was up to.

Slap! Marlene shuddered abruptly as she turned over nervously. But she didn't need her eyes to understand what Rhode had done. The long-lost memory of this burning sensation on her backside reappeared in her mind. As the heir of the Senia Family, Marlene had learned not to be willful, mischievous, and self-centered. Therefore, she had almost never tasted this sensation. But now… ”R-Rhode?!”

”What's wrong? Did I do anything wrong?” Rhode's voice was as calm as usual. Then, he lifted his right hand and smacked again.

”Ah!” This time, Marlene shrieked in pain.

Although this pain was not worth a mention as compared to the injuries and sufferings on the battlefield, Marlene felt a strange, tingling sensation for unknown reasons. Rhode's palm was as though an electric current that would make her body shiver every time he touched her body and would leave a scorching pain.

”An obedient child must be honest, Marlene. Lying is not good. Since you are my woman, I need to constantly guide you off the wrong path. Yes… Even if I need to use such intense methods. I hope you can remember this punishment and be more honest next time.”

”… I, I didn't…” Marlene found herself in a ridiculed, yet enjoyable mood even though she didn't know how to react to Rhode's hooligan-like utterance. Although Marlene admitted that she indeed was trying to hide her true thoughts from Rhode, she felt that he should've taken the initiative to care for her instead. Why must I be the one to bring this up? And now I must be punished by him for lying like a little girl?

Marlene felt that this was too illogical.

”It seems that you haven't learned your mistake.” Marlene's response gave Rhode more room to maneuver as he once again raised his palm and smacked her reddish, swollen backside.

”—!” Marlene's body suddenly stiffened.

The young lady's strong self-control forced herself to swallow her moans. She widened her eyes in uncertainty and her head was in a blank. At this moment, Marlene felt that her body was as though scorching in blazing flames and the pain on the area that Rhode had smacked had turned numb. No, strictly speaking, Marlene felt that the numbness was mingled with aches that spread towards her body gradually. Not only that, she actually felt somewhat—comfortable?!

How is this possible?

Slap!
