Keep Quiet. - Full Resolution

The sound of Lightning pushing Austin down the dirt pathway towards the back of the hay barn was not an uncommon occurrence within the ranch's fence line. The edge to the big black stallion's words, however, was sharper than usual. A stream of frustrated growls boiled in Lightning's chest and rumbled all the way up his throat, hissing through his thick teeth as he hauled the defiant donkey forward by the arm.

When they finally ducked behind the hay barn under a little rickety lean-to, Lightning pressed his hand into Austin's chest, pushing him back against the wall with the most subtle of force. Before the donkey could resist, Lightning closed the gap between them, almost uncomfortably close. For good measure, he pressed his thick knee into the space between Austin's legs and gently but firmly pushed until he had him locked into place against the wall.

There was no hope of escape now, and the only thing Austin could do was stare into Lightning's eyes, doing his best to hold his ground against the stallion's intense, electrifying glare.

"How many times have I told you to cool it around new guests?"

Austin pouted. "I was only teasing!"

"We haven't interviewed them yet, Austin! How do you know their limits for physical touch, or whether teasing is okay?"

The pout quickly gave way to a scowl as Austin squared up against the bigger horse. "It was just a pat on the ass, Lightning, cool it!"

In a blur of motion, Austin found himself suddenly flipped towards the wall and pressed up against it, his bottom bared. Before he could react, he felt one of the stallion's strong hands reach up and press against his mouth, silencing his startled grunt. Lightning brought his thick knee up and used it to arch Austin's ass just so before smacking his hand hard against his cheeks.

As Austin's muffled yells of shock -not much more than a hum when suppressed by Lightning's hand- faded, the dark horse leaned in close, smacking his bouncing ass again.

"You've been beggin' for this all day with your attitude. You want a hiding? Then that's exactly what I'll give you. Right where everyone can hear it. If you let me tan your ass like you deserve, I'll make sure they don't hear you struggle to take it. Continue to sass me, though, and I'll let 'em hear everything. AND I'll belt ya good. Got it?"
