Non consensual disciplinary spanking of a teen by a parental figure . Ryan woke up happy to be where he was , like he usually did since moving in with the Cohen family . Today was to be his first Thanksgiving with them , and he was looking forward to it . He knew it would be nothing like Thanksgiving at his house . No one would be getting drunk and passing out . No one would be yelling and arguing . No one would be ruining the food because they were too busy fighting . And best of all , no one would be getting mad and beating up on him . He got ready for the day and was happy to walk into the kitchen . He had fun watching Seth and Sandy try to talk Kirsten out of cooking , and even joined in . Then there was a phone call . Sandy answered , and said , " It 's for you Ryan . It 's your brother , Trey . " Ryan felt the usual sick feeling in his stomach that things were starting to deteriorate . He took the phone and went in another room . Ryan said , " Hi Trey . How ya doing ? " " She called . She 's not coming . You know she doesn 't really like Thanksgiving . I guess I just miss you and want to see you . " Ryan almost panicked at that thought . How embarrassing could life be ? He didn 't want anyone to see his brother and him visiting in jail . He said , " No . I don 't think that would be good . I 'm fine . I 'll just go see him quick , and then come back . " Seth said , " Are you sure ? I mean , legally we 're kind of like brothers now too . It would be nice to meet your other brother . " " Trust me , it wouldn 't be . He probably just want 's something from me anyway . You don 't know him like I do . " That same morning at Jimmy 's house , Marissa and Jimmy were talking . Marissa said , " I don 't know why I have to go see her . I 'd rather have dinner with you and the Cohen 's . " Marissa didn 't like it but nodded . When they showed up at the Cohen 's house Jimmy kissed Marissa on the forehead , and said , I 'll come get you when we 're done with dinner . Try to have a good time with your mom . " Marissa nodded her head , and started to head for her mother 's house . Once she saw that her father was out of sight , she headed for Ryan 's pool house , and hoped he would be there . She was happy to see that he was , and she went in to say hi . Ryan said , " I thought you were going to your mom 's for dinner . " They kissed before she left . Ryan got the rest of his stuff ready , and went to tell the family that he was taking off . After fifteen minutes of good wishes , and listening to Sandy tell him to call if there were any trouble , and giving him the cell phone , the car keys , and some money , Ryan was finally ready to go . When he got to the car , he found Marissa in the passenger seat . Before Ryan could say anything , Marissa said , " I talked to my mom , and she actually thought it would be a good idea for me to come . I think she wants some alone time with Caleb . " Ryan thought about it . He really didn 't want her to come , but at the same time , since they were a couple now , he thought he should be honest with her . He thought part of being honest was showing her how he used to live , so he finally nodded and headed out . They had an uneventful trip to Chino . Marissa went into the jail with Ryan . Ryan and Trey hugged , and said hello to each other . Ryan was a little surprised to see that Trey had been beaten up recently . Ryan introduced Trey to Marissa . After that , Marissa went to the side and sat on a bench so the brothers could visit alone . Trey said , " Good to see you little brother . " At that point Ryan knew that Trey didn 't really want to see him , but wanted something from him . He was pissed , and disappointed . He said , " What do you need . " Ryan sat and waited . Soon Trey said , " Okay , I didn 't want to call you and get you involved , but I 'm in trouble . When I got arrested , I owed some people some money . " Ryan nodded , and Trey continued . He said , " I picked it up right before coming here , and Arturo has been hiding it for me . I need someone to take it over to the guy I owe the money to . It is a nice car , and this should pay him back with some interest . " Trey sat and waited to see what his brother would say . He knew Ryan always took a while to make a decision . Ryan thought about Sandy and getting caught . He knew if he got caught in the stolen car , it would be the end of his time with the Cohen 's . He knew that he should say no . He knew that it was illegal , and wrong , but he also couldn 't just watch Trey get beat up if he could help it with one car ride . He couldn 't ask Sandy for the money , because he already owed him so much he would never be able to pay him back . Soon he nodded his head and said , " Okay . " Trey smiled and gave him the address for the shop he would be dropping the car at , and the name of the guy to talk to . Soon Ryan and Marissa were back in the car . Ryan drove in silence . Marissa asked , " Where are we going now ? " Marissa was shocked , and very unhappy about this statement . She said , " I will not get a ride home on a bus . You 're my ride home . " " Yes ! Look , Trey is my brother . I can 't just let him get beat up or killed in jail if I can help it . I know it isn 't right , but I 'm going to do it to protect my brother . I don 't have any other choice . " Marissa made up her mind and said , " Well you don 't have a choice about me either . I won 't go on the bus . If you take me to the station , I 'll just call a cab and have them follow you . You 're stuck with me . " Back at the Cohen 's house , Marissa 's mom , Julie , invited herself and Caleb over to dinner because their caterer couldn 't make it . Julie was unhappy to see her soon to be ex husband sitting on the couch with a girl . Julie asked Jimmy , " Where is Marissa ? " The fight continued to escalate . Kirsten hated to see her father Caleb with Julie , and she really hated that they had invited themselves over to ruin her Thanksgiving plans , so she decided to have a few drinks . Seth had invited Anna to dinner , and they were having a really good time until Summer showed up . Seth answered the door , and saw Summer before anyone else did . He pulled her into Ryan 's pool house so she wouldn 't see Anna in the house , and so that Anna wouldn 't see Summer either . He kept going back and forth between the two of them and they were both coming on to him , which he found unnerving . Ryan got to his brother 's friend 's house , and knocked on the door . A pretty girl answered the door and said , " Ryan . " Teresa turned and went to look for her brother while Ryan and Marissa went inside . Teresa 's mom was making dinner , and when she saw Ryan she gave him a hug . They talked about how good it was to see each other . Arturo came into the room , and said hi to Ryan too . Ryan and Arturo went out to look at the car , while Marissa stayed in to visit with Teresa and her mom . As Ryan and Arturo were working on the car , Ryan 's phone rang . It was Seth who wanted Ryan to give him some advice on what to do about Summer and Anna . Ryan said , " I 'm a little busy right now . Can I call you back when Marissa and I get back on the road ? " Seth said , " Marissa 's with you ? Her mom has been looking for her , and yelling at her dad for losing her . Anyway , don 't call me , I 'll call you back if I get the chance . " Ryan hung up and thought about Marissa . He couldn 't believe she had lied to him . She knew that he had problems with Julie already , and now she was making it worse just because she wanted to come on this trip . Soon the car was ready , and Marissa and Ryan said goodbye to everyone . As soon as the door was closed , and Ryan and Marissa were alone , Marissa said , " Why didn 't you ever tell me there was a Teresa ? " Ryan knew that Marissa really had no concept of the kind of trouble they could get in , and tried not to get too mad at her . He handed her the keys and calmly said , " You go home . I 'll take the bus when I 'm done . " Once Marissa was gone , Ryan got in the stolen car and thought about what he was about to do . He knew it was wrong , and that if he got caught he would not only be taken out of the Cohen 's home , but that he would probably be in jail with Trey . He thought again about calling Sandy , but he didn 't want to drag him into another one of his family 's dramas . Ryan thought about leaving the car , and leaving Trey to his fate , but he knew that he just couldn 't do that to his family no matter how awful they were to him . He started the car and tried not to throw up while driving it to the shop . He got there , and parked the car . A man came up to Ryan as he got out of the car and said , " I can 't believe Trey pulled it off . " The man grabbed Ryan and pushed him up against a fence . Some other guys from the shop heard the noise and came out to help . The man said , " I think I 'll take the interest out on you . " The man punched Ryan in the cheek , and Ryan fell to the ground . The man went to pick him up , and then they both heard a honk . Marissa pulled up , and motioned to Ryan to jump into her car . Ryan sucker punched the man , and ran as fast as he could to the car . He got in , and they were able to drive away without anyone following them . Ryan was breathing hard when he said , " What are you doing here ? " The more Marissa thought about it , the more pleased she was , and the more Ryan thought about it , the more unhappy he was . It was a quiet ride back to the prison . At the jail , Ryan once more went to see Trey . Ryan said , " It 's done . " Trey nodded , and said , " Okay . I get it . You have a chance for a good life now , and I shouldn 't screw that up for you . I am happy for you ya know . " Ryan looked at his brother and thought that was the best advice he had ever gotten from him . He nodded . Trey said , " Well , you 've got people waiting for you . You should go . " Back at the Cohen 's house , everything was going down hill . Seth had tried to tell his mom in a discreet way that Marissa was in Chino with Ryan , but everyone ended up hearing . This made Julie even more irate with Jimmy . Jimmy was trying to defend himself , but was also thinking about Marissa , and how she had lied to him . Kirsten had become quite drunk while trying to avoid talking to her father . Summer and Anna had found out about each other , and both of them had walked out on a very disappointed Seth . While everyone was in the kitchen arguing , they realized smoke was coming out of the oven , and that the Turkey was burnt . They ended up ordering Chinese food , while Kirsten passed out . When Ryan and Marissa got home , Ryan said , " I want to talk to you alone before we go in . " Marissa smiled and nodded . She followed him to the pool house thinking that he was going to be kissing her , and thanking her for coming to his rescue . Once they got in the door , she was taken by surprise when Ryan said , " I am really angry about what you did today . " Ryan was really mad now . He said , " I can 't believe you ! First you lie to me , and to your parents . Then you decide to come with me on this trip , even though I wanted to be alone . But worst of all , after I tell you what I 'm doing , and I tell you that I don 't want you involved , you just decided to barge in and do what you want anyway . Did it ever occur to you that if the police caught me , and they found you following me , that you could get arrested as an accessory ? Did you even think that those guys who were about to beat me up could have gotten to you and hurt you too ? The more I think about it the more angry I am . " " You know what I think ? ! I think you 're just pissed off because I got to see a part of your life that you want to put behind you . I think you 're ashamed of where you came from , just like my mom , and you don 't want anyone to know about it . I think you were actually glad I was there , and you were glad that I followed you , but you 're too proud to admit that you needed my help ! " Ryan had spent most of the car ride home imagining the guys from the shop beating up and raping Marissa in front of him , so when she basically told him , that she planned to follow him into danger whenever she felt like it , he snapped . Ryan grabbed Marissa 's upper arm and pulled her to the bed . She tried to pull away , but he didn 't let her . He sat on the corner of his bed , and pulled her face down across his lap . Marissa yelled , " You wouldn 't dare ! " Ryan didn 't say anything . He noticed her cute little butt and thought it was a shame that he wasn 't doing something more fun with it . Then he brought his hand down with a loud smack . Her body jerked at the sudden sound and feel of Ryan 's hand . She couldn 't believe it was really happening . She thought , ' Maybe it 's a dream ' , until she felt it again , and again . After about six swats , Ryan flipped up Marissa 's skirt . He noticed that she was wearing pretty blue panties , and then he had to try and concentrate on what she had done that had made him mad in the first place , so he didn 't stop and admire them for too long . Marissa felt Ryan pull her skirt up , and she couldn 't do anything besides hold her breath to see what Ryan was going to do . Then she felt another hard slap , and let out the breath she had been holding in a loud OWWW ! Ryan set up a rhythm , and started alternating sides as he spanked . After a while he noticed that he could see part of his hand prints lower on her sit spots and upper thighs where her panties didn 't cover her . Very soon Marissa was wiggling , and saying ' ow ' pretty often . She said , " Ryan I 'm sorry . Ow . You were right . Ouch ! I 'm sorry I lied ! " Ryan couldn 't help himself , and he rubbed her bottom for a couple of seconds before helping her to stand up . He stood up with her and thought she was beautiful even with a flushed face , and eyes full of unshed tears . He kissed her gently , and then said , " I was so worried about you getting hurt . " Marissa couldn 't explain why , but she felt loved , and cared for . If someone had asked her yesterday how she would feel if her boyfriend spanked her , she would have gone on , and on about how that would be wrong , and how she would call the police . She knew she should be mad , and she should hate Ryan now , but she wasn 't and she didn 't . In fact she was happy . She kissed him back , and wrapped her arms around him for a tight hug . She quietly said , " I am sorry Ryan . " Marissa nodded and smiled . Julie said , " I can 't believe you would just run off like that without telling us where you were going . Do you really think Chino is a good place to go ? " Ryan could tell that Julie really had to bite her lip to stop herself from going off on him and Caleb . Soon Julie was able to give a fake smile and said , " Your right . You kids must be hungry . Have some food . " Marissa and Ryan looked at each other not believing their luck . They took a few boxes of food , and went to go find Seth . Seth was lying on his bedroom floor in misery , but when Marissa and Ryan came to join him with some food , he perked up a little . Seth told them both all about what had happened , and Ryan couldn 't believe how much it sounded like a Thanksgiving at his house . When Seth asked them about Chino , they avoided the subject . They had been visiting and eating for about half an hour , when there was a knock at the door . It was Jimmy . Julie had told Jimmy that Marissa was home . Jimmy smiled and said , " Hey guys . Time for me and Marissa to be getting home . " This startled Marissa , who had been happily thinking about Ryan while trying not to squirm in her seat . She knew he was right , but was surprised that he would bring it up . Her mom was always the one to do the confrontations . Her mom would be the one telling the kids they had done something wrong . Her dad never did . She nodded and said , " I know Dad . I 'm sorry . I just couldn 't go to see her . " Jimmy was very nervous about this conversation , but he knew that it had to happen . He had seen his little girl in a hospital bed close to death because she felt abandoned by him , and he never wanted to see that again . " She is your mother Marissa , and even if you don 't always like her , you do have to see her sometimes . If things got really bad with her , you could have come over to be with me , but you didn 't even try . " Marissa was still feeling kind of emotional about Ryan spanking her , and now that her dad , who never called her on anything , was making her face the truth of what she had done , she felt tears running down her face . Jimmy couldn 't see her crying because it was dark and he was driving . He said , " You are you are grounded for a week . " immy was quite pleased with himself for getting that out without backing down . arissa still didn 't say anything , so he turned to look at her . e saw the tears and felt really bad . e pulled over , and Marissa said , " I 'm so sorry Daddy . " He parked , and pulled her into a hug . He held her while she cried . He rubbed her back and said , " It 's okay sweetie . I forgive you . I know you probably didn 't even think about it before you did it . And hey , there isn 't even much to do in the apartment , so being grounded will kind of just be like what you do every day there anyway . " The next morning Ryan , as usual , was the first one up . He got ready and went to the house to make some coffee . Sandy was the next one up , and as he got a cup of coffee he said , " How was your brother ? " Sandy said , " Looks to me like someone punched you . " Ryan said nothing and looked down at the paper . Sandy said , " Ryan . You know you can trust me right ? " Ryan and Seth both had the day off , so they went to the pier to hang out . Kirsten stayed in bed for most of the morning , and wished she hadn 't had so much to drink . Sandy enjoyed a rare day off and watched some sports . While he was watching a game , he got a phone call . He said , " Hello . " Trey had been feeling bad about making his baby brother do his dirty work , and he had wanted to make sure it hadn 't screwed up Ryan 's living arrangement . He had been worrying about it all night , and now that he heard Sandy 's tone of voice , he thought for sure that Ryan had been tossed out for what he had done . He said , " Please listen to me Mr . Cohen . It 's not Ryan 's fault . You shouldn 't make him leave just because he was trying to protect me . " Sandy didn 't know where that had come from , but he was a lawyer . He was a good lawyer , which meant he was smart enough , and sneaky enough , to say , " I didn 't get the whole story from Ryan . Why don 't you give me your version , and convince me why I should let him stay . " Trey swallowed and hoped he could convince Sandy to let Ryan stay . He said , " When Ryan came to see me , he could tell that I had been roughed up . I owe a guy some money and . " " About six thousand dollars . Anyway , I have this car from before I got put away , and I had Ryan drive it to a shop to repay the debt . That 's it . Now it is over . Ryan is a good kid . He just did it to help me . He didn 't even really want to do it . I really hope you can let him stay . " Trey swore to himself , and said , " Well , Ryan doesn 't know when to keep his big mouth shut . Look Mr . Cohen , it doesn 't change the fact that Ryan didn 't want to do it . It 's not like he 's gonna be turning to a life of crime because of this one thing . If anything , it probably scared him away from that kind of life , since the guys tried to beat him up when he brought them the car . " Sandy said , " Okay Trey . I 'll think about it . Why don 't you call me tomorrow about this time , and I 'll let you know . " Once Sandy hung up , he had no more interest in the game . He just sat and thought about Ryan . On the one hand he was shocked that Ryan could keep all that to himself , but he was used to Seth who never had much to hide . Then on the other hand , he knew Ryan didn 't really trust him , and wouldn 't tell him about illegal activities because he was worried that he would get kicked out . Sandy wasn 't sure how to make Ryan feel like he was a part of the family no matter what , but he spent the next three hours thinking about it . Seth and Ryan came home laughing and in a good mood . When they walked into the kitchen , Sandy said , " Seth , I need to talk to Ryan alone for a while . Why don 't you go visit with your mom , and try to convince her to get out of bed to see the sun this afternoon ? " Seth and Ryan just stood there for a minute because they were not used to Sandy using that tone of voice . Seth said , " Um . . is everything okay Dad ? " Sandy nodded towards the door to the pool house . Ryan nodded and swallowed nervously as he walked over . Once they got there Sandy closed the door , and Ryan thought it made a very loud click as it shut . Sandy sat in a chair , and motioned for Ryan to sit in the chair across from him . Once Ryan was sitting , Sandy said , " I got a call from Trey today . " " No , it 's not what you think . Trey was actually trying to make sure you were okay . He was worried that I would throw you out after finding out what you had done yesterday . And I let him believe that you 'd already told me all about it , so he would be more open with his version . " Ryan didn 't know exactly what Trey had said , but he knew he should stick close to the truth . He said , " Trey was getting beat up in prison because he owed someone money . He had a car that would repay the debt , so he asked me to drive it to the guy , and I did . " Ryan sighed and sat back in the chair and crossed his arms . He looked at the floor and said , " The car was stolen , and I took it to a shop that would be ' fixing ' it up for resale . The guy there didn 't think the car was quite enough , and decided to beat me up . He didn 't get the chance , because Marissa drove up and I was able to escape . " Ryan said , " I told Marissa to go home , but she didn 't listen to me . She followed me there without my knowledge , but in the end saved me . " Sandy nodded and got up to start pacing . He said , " I 've been thinking about this for a few hours now . I have lots of questions , but the one that I coming back to is ; why don 't you trust me ? " Sandy thought about it , and sat back down . He said , " Let 's go over this . What were your options when you were at the prison and Trey told you he was getting beat up over the money ? " Ryan thought this sounded like the beginning of a long and drawn out discussion aimed at making him feel guilty . He said , " Look , I know it wasn 't a smart thing to do , and I don 't plan to do it again . Can 't we just leave it at that ? " Ryan wanted to yell and storm out , but he knew that wasn 't the way things were done in this house . He sighed and said , " I didn 't have any options . I wasn 't going to let him get beat up and possibly killed when I could prevent it . " " You had quite a few options . You could have told him no . He probably could have found someone else to do it , but I don 't think that was a good option . The option that I can 't believe you didn 't see was calling me . Why couldn 't you call me from the prison and tell me what was going on ? You should know by now that I would have found a way to help . " " I did think about calling you , but you 've already done so much for me , that I just can 't ask you to keep doing things . You not only took my case in the first place , but you also brought me here to your house . You are feeding me , giving me clothes , a place to stay , and even a chance to go to a good school . You also helped convince my mom to let me stay here . My family is really fucked up . I can 't keep calling you every time something comes up . I already owe you too much as it is . " Sandy couldn 't believe that Ryan felt he owed him for helping him . Sandy said , " Ryan , you have it all wrong . You 're a part of my family now . Do you think Seth feels like he should pay me back for giving him food , clothes , and a place to live ? " " Probably , but I asked Trey how much he owed , and he said it was only six thousand dollars . You know that isn 't all that much money to us . I could have just paid off the debt . " Sandy sat back and said , " Well it wasn 't . I won 't have you taking risks that might get you put in jail . We just got you , and we 're not going to have you taken away from us without a fight . How do you think it would make us all feel to have you taken ? " Ryan was angry at the whole conversation . He didn 't understand why Sandy couldn 't understand where he was coming from . He said , " I think you would all be relieved to have me gone . " Sandy stood up and towered over Ryan when he said , " You are more wrong than I can even put into words . We would all be devastated if you were taken from us . I think you need some proof that you ARE part of this family . " Sandy reached down to grab Ryan 's arm , and Ryan flinched and brought his arms up to protect his head , and his legs up to protect his stomach . Sandy stopped . He looked at Ryan , and then said in a very calm and coaxing voice , " Ryan ? " Ryan 's heart was pounding , and he was breathing hard . He heard Sandy , and was really embarrassed for the way he had reacted . He knew in his mind that Sandy wouldn 't be punching him , but his body still wasn 't sure . He peeked out from behind his arm , and saw that Sandy was standing there with pity on his face . Ryan hated pity . He put his arms and legs down and stood up . He said in a cold and detached voice , " Do what ever you 're gonna do . I 'm sure I 've taken worse . " Sandy reached out to take Ryan 's arm again . Ryan closed his eyes . He kept his arms down even though it took all the will power he had . Sandy took Ryan 's arm and pulled him forward into a hug . He wrapped both his arms around Ryan , and held him tight . Ryan stood there for a couple of seconds before wrapping his arms around Sandy too . His breathing and heart rate slowed down , and he kind of felt like crying with relief . Then when Sandy kept holding him he got embarrassed , and put his arms down . Sandy said , " Sorry I scared you . " Sandy put his hands on Ryan 's upper arms and held him at arms length . He said , " Yes I did , and I 'm sorry . I should have told you what to expect before I did it . I 've been thinking about what you did since Trey called me , and now that you 've told me about it yourself , I think I need to prove to you that you are part of this family . And I think I need to show you what will happen to you when you do something so unacceptable . " Ryan looked down . He knew Sandy wouldn 't approve of what he had done , and he was ashamed of his family , and the things he did for them . Sandy said , " Look at me Ryan . " Ryan looked up . Sandy said , " I love you , Kirsten loves you , and Seth loves you . We 're not going to let you do dumb things just because you don 't feel like we 're really your family . So , I 'm going spank you . " Ryan could feel his face get red as he looked away . He knew Sandy was right . He knew it would probably work . He even knew that if he were in the same situation as Sandy was , that he would do the same thing , but that didn 't make it easy to accept . He gave a faint nod , and Sandy let him go . Sandy went to the bed and sat down . He said , " Come here , and drop your pants . " Ryan slowly walked to where Sandy was sitting . He couldn 't help but think that just the night before he had been on the other side of things with Marissa . He got to Sandy 's side and stood there . After a few seconds Sandy said , " Pants down Ryan . " Ryan thought about bolting , but he knew he would eventually come back , and he didn 't think Sandy was the type of person to change his mind when he thought he was doing the right thing . He unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans with shaky hands , and pushed them down to his knees . Sandy took Ryan 's wrist and pulled him over his lap . Once Ryan was over his lap , Sandy pulled down Ryan 's underwear , and Ryan muttered , " Shit . " Sandy started spanking Ryan hard . He spanked each spot three times before moving to the next spot . Ryan was found it harder than he thought it would be to stay quiet . Sandy said , " Tell me why I 'm spanking you Ryan . " Ryan 's body jumped a little when the spanking started again . He couldn 't understand why Sandy wanted to talk during the spanking . He said , " Because mmmff I didn 't . uuhh . call you . " N - K Ryan found it hard to concentrate . He couldn 't help it when his body started to move around to avoid the swats . His voice was getting higher when he yelled , " Trust . " " That 's right . Smack , Smack , Smack . I want you to trust me mack , Smack , Smack , to listen to you Sm ck , Smack , Smack , and help you when you need it . " Sandy kept spanking and said , " I know son . You were sorry about it before you even did it . I don 't need you to be sorry , I need you to make better choices next time . " Sandy concentrated the spanks on Ryan 's sit spot , and lower thighs . Ryan couldn 't hold in the tears any more . A few seconds after he started crying , Sandy stopped the spanking . He rubbed Ryan 's back and said , " Okay son . I 'm done . It 's all over . " Sandy reached down and pulled up Ryan 's underwear , and pulled on his arm a little to help him stand up . Ryan just stood there and cried . Sandy pulled up Ryan 's pants , and then pulled Ryan down to sit in his lap . Ryan couldn 't stop crying now that he had started . There were so many times that he forced himself not to cry that once the tears started to flow they were hard to stop . Other thing came to his mind . Other times he felt like crying but didn 't . He thought about his life , and the way so many things had been messed up . Sandy just held him and let him cry . Ryan tried to stop , but found he could only stop for a few seconds , and then the tears would come again . Sandy said , " It 's okay Ryan . Cry all you want . I don 't need to be anywhere else today . " Sandy thought about it and said , " Because you 're better than your life , and your family . Because you 're a good person , even though your life was miserable . You could have ended up like Trey , or your mom , but you didn 't , and you deserve a chance for better . " Ryan nodded his head , which was still against Sandy 's chest . Sandy said , " If I find out you 've done anything illegal that could get you taken away from us , I 'll spank you again . Have I made that clear ? " Ryan nodded again . Sandy said , " Why don 't you lie down and rest for a while . I 'll come and see you before dinner , and if you don 't want to eat with us , I 'll bring you something to eat here . " Sandy helped Ryan to stand up , and Ryan crawled into bed , and lay down on his side . He fell asleep almost immediately . Sandy sat by him , and watched him sleep for a few minutes before going back to the house to see how his wife was . Email Author ( Feedback makes me happy . )
