Chapter 1<br />
1. <strong>Naughty</strong> <strong>Bottoms</strong> <strong>Get</strong> <strong>Spanked</strong><br />
“What exactly does that mean?!” She flashed her eyes at me.<br />
Defiance, or alarm?<br />
“What it says. It’s a statement of principle: the patriotic duty<br />
of every citizen to make sure that a sound spanking is applied to<br />
each and every naughty behind, as often as necessary. Right now,<br />
yours.”<br />
“Ridiculous!” Her high-pitched whine said she was nervous.<br />
“How can a ‘behind’ possibly be ‘naughty’? A child can be<br />
naughty, a pet can be naughty. There’s no way that a body part<br />
can be naughty, it doesn’t have feelings or intentions. That’s called<br />
the ‘pathetic fallacy’. It’s completely invalid!”<br />
“The only ‘fallacy’ is yours, my dear, as you’ll discover when I<br />
turn you over my knee. Then you’ll know ‘pathetic’!”<br />
I explained in simple words. “Your bottom is naughty. Its<br />
smooth curves are saucy. Its roundness is impudent. Its quiverings<br />
are brazenly insolent. Its unspanked state is highly impertinent.<br />
No doubt about it,” I concluded, “your butt wants a whacking.”<br />
She bit her lip. Her argument had gotten her nowhere.<br />
She tried a new tack. “Have you heard about those Siamese<br />
twins? You know, one was a criminal, but they had to let him free<br />
7<br />
because he was attached to an innocent man?”<br />
“No, I have not.”<br />
“Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but I am very attached to my<br />
tushie.” She twirled around, put her hands on her knees, and wiggled<br />
her cotton-encased derriere at me. “See, it goes everywhere I<br />
go.”<br />
“All I see is a pair of shameless bottom-cheeks, ripe for a good<br />
smacking.”<br />
She turned around quickly. “Don’t you understand? You can’t<br />
spank my bottom, because then you’d be spanking me too. Even if<br />
my rear deserves a smacking, I’m perfectly innocent, so you have<br />
no right.”<br />
“Oh, but I do have the right to spank you.”<br />
“Why? Have I been naughty too?” she asked tremulously.<br />
“Yes. But that’s not it.”<br />
“What, then? What gives you the right?”<br />
“Just the fact that I want to.”<br />
“Oh, well then!” sarcastically. “I guess I don’t have a leg to stand<br />
on, do I!”<br />
This was clearly untrue, as she was standing on two very pretty
are legs, at the moment crossed most fetchingly. I’d have to punish<br />
her for lying (another firmly held principle of mine) unless I<br />
took action now. So I spun her around, flopped her across my lap,<br />
fettered her ankles with cotton shorts and panties. Her creamy<br />
white cheeks stared up at me, and I ogled back.<br />
SMACK. “Ouch!” SMACK. “Hey!” SMACK. “Yow-ow-ow<br />
ooooooh!” I applied three sharp slaps: left, right, and at the base of<br />
her bottom. She clenched and unclenched her cheeks, and kicked<br />
her heels high in the air, revealing the precious treasure between<br />
her thighs. Shameless! It would take more to reform this delinquent<br />
tush.<br />
“It’s worse than I thought. What cheek!” I said while delivering<br />
solid smacks to each naughty, quivering buttock. “Your insolent<br />
bottom has earned itself a thorough blistering with the hairbrush.”<br />
Luckily, one was handy.<br />
“Oh, please, no!” THWACK. “OOOOOOoooh!”<br />

2. Alarm Clock<br />
I entered the bedroom and looked at her, curled up among the<br />
sheets and blankets. A shock of her hair fell over her mouth, and<br />
moved ever so gently as she breathed in and out. She was a picture<br />
of peaceful contentment. It seemed such a shame to wake her, but<br />
I had to do as she’d asked me.<br />
“Wake up, lovely girl,” I said. No response came from her, except<br />
for the gentle puffs of her breath.<br />
I nudged her. “Come on, get up.”<br />
“Wanna jella donwana . . . ” she murmured.<br />
I tickled her bottom through the sheets, and said, “It’s time to<br />
get up. Right now.” She rolled over onto her back, and said, “Don<br />
wanna. Sleepy. Goway dammit.”<br />
I pulled the sheets out of her clutches, and stripped them away.<br />
She laid there, on her back, in a light blue nightie that rode up to<br />
the top of her thighs. She shivered just a little in the cool air; her<br />
loveliness made my heart quiver.<br />
“You are getting up now, young lady, whether you want or not.”<br />
I took her delicate little feet in my hands, and lifted them high in<br />
the air, revealing her beautiful bare bottom. I saw it still had a few<br />
little pink splotches. I took a moment to admire the afterglow of<br />
last night’s activities. I rested my palm on her buttock; last night it<br />
9<br />
had been warm, now it was cool to the touch.<br />
“Whuh, huh?” she murmured drowsily. I grasped her feet with<br />
my left hand, and bent her legs back over her head, while I delivered<br />
a crisp smack to her pink bottom, now stretched out.<br />
“Hey, stop it!”<br />
I smacked her upturned bottom, paying special attention to the<br />
curve at the top of the thighs. The light spanks were only just<br />
enough to sting, but in her half-awake state they must have felt<br />
like electric shocks.<br />
“Oh! Ow! Omigod, that HURTS!”<br />
“I’ve decided a nice little warm up is just the thing to roust you<br />
out of bed, sleepy-butt!” I spanked just a little harder as I said this.<br />
“You asked me to wake you up, and that’s what I’m doing.”<br />
“Oooh, dammit! That’s not fair, I was about to get up. I was!”<br />
She pushed and squirmed as my spanks brought the pink color<br />
back to her cheeks.<br />
“I don’t do ‘about to’, miss.” More spanks.<br />
“Ugh. Fuck you, mister!”<br />
I glanced at the bedside table. Yup, there was the 18 inch wooden<br />
ruler I’d paddled her with last night. Twisting around, I was able<br />
to grasp it without letting go of her feet.
She saw what I was up to. “Ooops, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.<br />
Please?”<br />
I gripped the ruler in my hand, and brought it down with a powerful<br />
SMACK on her seat.<br />
“Oooowwwwww! Uuuugghh.”<br />
Five more times I whacked her taut bottom cheeks with the<br />
thing. Each time she shrieked.<br />
I put the ruler down. “Not a nice way to treat a fellow who’s just<br />
trying to help out, is it?”<br />
“Nuh uh, I guess it wasn’t.” I looked at her, and eventually she<br />
came out with “I’m sorry.”<br />
“It’s alright, you’re sleepy and confused,” I said generously, as I<br />
let go of her feet.<br />
“Yeah, that’s it.” She scooted into a sitting position, and blinked<br />
hazily. “I’m not all together in the mornings, you know.” She put<br />
her hand on her bottom, and winced. “And sheesh, that hurt like<br />
hell. I don’t think that was really necessary, you know.”<br />
“You should consider investing in an alarm clock, cutie-pie.<br />
Much less painful way to wake up, you know.”<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
“Oh, forgot . . . I brought you coffee.” I handed her the steaming<br />
cup I’d put on the table when I came in.<br />
“Oh! Yes! Wonderful! Why didn’t you say so before, you big<br />
dork.” She clutched the warm mug in her hands. Closing her<br />
eyes, she inhaled the aroma, and sighed. Then she took a sip, and<br />
smiled. “Ah, I love coffee in the morning. Thank you.”<br />
“You’re welcome, miss.” I let her take another sip, and take another<br />
sigh. Then I extracted the cup from her fingers; she looked at<br />
me quizzically.<br />
“I’m not done with that, you know.”<br />
“I know.” I put the cup on the table. “Big dork?” I said.<br />
“What? . . . Oh, um . . . ” She chuckled nervously. “It’s better<br />
10<br />
than ‘little dork’, anyway.”<br />
I grinned as I grabbed her feet and hauled her from her sitting<br />
position until she was flat on her back again. “You are asking for<br />
it, young lady.”<br />
“Aw, come on!” she exclaimed as I lifted her feet again. “I think<br />
you’re enjoying this way too much.”<br />
“Nope. There’s nothing to enjoy about punishing such lovely<br />
flesh.” Her bottom was exposed again, so I spanked it again. Repeatedly.<br />
“Aaaah, ouch!” Smack. “Owowowow!” Smack. “Beast!”<br />
Smack. “Ugh. I HATE mornings.”<br />
That made me smile. “And I LOVE mornings!” I said. And<br />
then I spanked her until her bottom was hot and red, and she was<br />
squealing.<br />
“Are you awake yet?” I asked when it was over, holding her<br />
close.<br />
“I am now, you bastard.” I kissed her.

3. The Proper Care of the Wii Remote(TM): A Cautionary<br />
Tale<br />
Hello. My name is Shannon, and I am writing this letter to Video<br />
Gamer Monthly to alert your readers to the possible consequences<br />
of mistreatment of the remote controllers for the Wii.<br />
Earlier today, my husband and I were playing a spirited round<br />
of “Rampage: Total Destruction”. At first I had great fun punching<br />
out windows, body-slamming cars, and eating random pedestrians.<br />
But after a while, I soon became frustrated with my inability<br />
to make my character go exactly where I wanted him too. Eventually,<br />
I was surrounded by a SWAT team and a tank, and try as<br />
I might, I could not get in position to take them out with a well<br />
placed slam. My character died, and I was furious. I am a woman<br />
who has a problem with losing her temper, so you may not be surprised<br />
to hear that in frustration I hurled that controller against the<br />
wall behind the TV.<br />
My husband got up to retrieve the remote. It did not look damaged,<br />
but after some testing he determined that the controller was<br />
busted, and would need to be replaced. I told him I was sorry, and<br />
promised to pay for a new controller; he replied that I certainly<br />
would pay for it. I did not immediately understand his tone of<br />
11<br />
voice, nor did I immediately understand why he pulled the wrist<br />
strap of the broken controller around his wrist and tightened it.<br />
When he unbuttoned my slacks, and pulled both them and my<br />
panties down to my ankles, I began to realize what he intended.<br />
He directed me to stand in front of the sofa, bent over with my<br />
elbows and upper arms on the seat cushion, so that my now bare<br />
bottom was pointing up in the air. He then proceeded to wallop<br />
my behind with that broken controller, until my bottom was very<br />
pink and sore, and he was sure that I was very sorry.<br />
I am now sitting, pants and underwear still down, my bare bottom<br />
in contact with a rough wooden bench, as a continuing reminder<br />
of my punishment. I have to admit that I deserved it.<br />
My husband has directed me to write this letter to warn other<br />
game playing wives of the consequences of mistreating the game<br />
equipment, which can be very painful indeed. He’s going to be<br />
keeping the broken remote, and has promised me he will use it in<br />
the future to blister my bottom whenever my temper gets the better<br />
of me! Hopefully, I’ve learned my lesson, and I won’t get spanked<br />
again; but knowing my temper, I think it’s likely my bottom will
e having a painful reunion with the Wii Remote again in the near<br />
future.<br />

Chapter 4<br />
4. Night Patrol<br />
“Car 15, we have a report of a 523 in the Elm Park district. You<br />
should have location info on your readout. Do you read?”<br />
Mike hit the button on his communicator. “A 523, copy, will respond,”<br />
he said. I examined the street address which had appeared<br />
on the on the info screen — this report was just around the corner.<br />
Mike massaged and flexed his forearm, wincing as he did so. It<br />
had been a grueling patrol tonight, and Mike had dealt with the<br />
shoplifter call earlier.<br />
“You want me to take point on this one?” I asked. “Yeah, Bob,<br />
thanks.” Sirens blared, as our E.S.S. patrol car sped to the next call.<br />
I knocked on the door of a modest house. The door opened a<br />
crack, and brown eyes peered out.<br />
“Sally Johnson? Officers Spencer and McDermott of the E.S.S.,<br />
ma’am. Please open the door.”<br />
The door opened, to reveal a young woman. Appeared dressed<br />
for bed, in shorts and tank-top, bare feet. A look of alarm in anticipation<br />
(or was it fear?) in her face. “Um, yes, I’m Sally . . . come<br />
in,” she said.<br />
13<br />
I entered the apartment; Mike followed and shut the door behind<br />
him. Sally backed away nervously (and no wonder).<br />
I did all the talking. “Ms. Johnson, I expect you know why we’re<br />
here.”<br />
“Um, I don’t know, sir.” I really like it when they call me sir.<br />
I looked into her eyes; she looked away. “Ma’am, I am very sure<br />
you know what brought us here. We received a call about some<br />
very bad behavior on the part of a young lady, identified as one<br />
Sally Johnson of Willow Street. From what we heard, it sounds like<br />
Miss Johnson has been getting into a great deal of trouble, and is<br />
due for some well-earned punishment. I don’t think I need to get<br />
into specifics. Do I, Ms. Johnson?”<br />
She looked away shyly; she did not want to have her recent indiscretions<br />
described to her. After a little while, she said “Um, no.<br />
You don’t have to do that.” Eyes down. “I know I haven’t been<br />
behaving well lately.”<br />
Using my best stern father voice, I said, “Sally, you’ve been behaving<br />
like an obnoxious little brat, and you know it. That is going<br />
to stop right now, isn’t it young lady.”<br />
“Um, yes sir, it will. I promise.” She looked at me with plead-
ing eyes, as though she might hope to avoid what came next. Not<br />
much chance of that!<br />
“Ms. Johnson, in my determination as an officer of the law, you<br />
deserve to be soundly spanked on your bare bottom, until you are<br />
a very sorry girl. Mike, do you agree?” Mike nodded.<br />
I glanced around her modest apartment, and decided the bedroom<br />
was the best place. “Ms. Johnson, please go to the bedroom,<br />
remove your shorts and anything underneath, and stand beside<br />
the bed.”<br />
“What? Right now? Can’t we wait a little bit?”<br />
I raised my eyebrows, but said nothing.<br />
“Please don’t, I promise I’ll be good!”<br />
“Ms. Johnson, I will not ask twice.” I placed my hands firmly on<br />
her shoulders, turned her around, and marched her in to the bedroom.<br />
Mike followed, and stood in the door, blocking any escape.<br />
We reached the side of the bed, and I turned Sally around to face<br />
me. As her mouth opened to protest, I said, “Ms. Johnson, officer<br />
McDermott and I are not leaving the premises until you are properly<br />
and thoroughly punished. Begging and pleading will only<br />
make things worse. Do you understand?”<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
In a softer voice, I said, “Then get your pants down, young lady.<br />
You know you deserve this.”<br />
With a sigh, she pushed her shorts down over her hips, and they<br />
fell to the floor around her feet. I sat at the edge of the bed and<br />
guided the naughty lady across my lap; I was not surprised to find<br />
a round, spankable bottom presented to him. I rested my hand on<br />
her fleshy backside, and she gasped.<br />
Without giving her a chance to compose herself, I began spanking.<br />
Firm smacks to each cheek, hard enough to sting, but not hard<br />
enough to make her scream. That would come later.<br />
SMACK! SMACK! “Oh, please, sir! Oh, owee!” SMACK!<br />
14<br />
SPANK!<br />
After a few minutes of this, I nodded to Mike, who extracted a<br />
hairbrush-sized wooden paddle from his holster, and handed it to<br />
me. “Think you’ve had enough, Sally?” I asked.<br />
“Oh, yes sir, I have. I’ll be a good girl, I promise!” she gasped.<br />
“Really?” And with that, I applied a quick CRACK CRACK to<br />
each cheek with the paddle. She didn’t know that was coming!<br />
“OOOOOhhhhh! Aaaaaghh!”<br />
“Ms. Johnson, your punishment has only just begun.” And with<br />
that, I proceeded to smack her backside soundly with the paddle,<br />
CRACK CRACK CRACK! She squirmed, and kicked her feet, and<br />
wailed like the naughty girl she was; out of the corner of my eye, I<br />
could see that Mike was amused by the show.<br />
“Oh, please stop! Oooh! It’s not fair . . . ” CRACK CRACK!<br />
“Oooweee!”<br />
I continued paddling for a few minutes, until Sally’s bottom was<br />
bright red. Then I stopped, and let her catch her breath. Then I<br />
said, “Please stand up.”<br />
I helped her stand up, and she stood there unsteadily and put<br />
her hands on what was surely a very sore tush.<br />
”Ms. Johnson, that completes your punishment we came to administer.<br />
I hope you’ve learned your lesson, young lady.<br />
“Oh, yes sir, I have,” she said. “But it’s not fair that you spanked<br />
me with that paddle thing! I thought you were only going to spank<br />
me with your hand.”<br />
“You did, did you?”<br />
“Yes! That wasn’t what I expected!”<br />
“Ms. Johnson, have you ever had a visit from an E.S.S. team before?”<br />
“Um, no.”<br />
“Were you aware, Ms. Johnson, that the form and duration of the<br />
punishment is entirely up to the administering officer, and that the
punishee has no say in the matter once the punishment begins?”<br />
She looked dismayed. “Oh. I didn’t realize that.”<br />
“I wonder if you are also aware, Ms. Johnson,” (I glanced at<br />
Mike, who began to remove various holsters from his belt) “that<br />
the punishee is not permitted to complain about the nature of her<br />
punishment, while it is happening?”<br />
“No?”<br />
“And that officers are required to supply additional punishment<br />
if such behavior should occur?”<br />
“WHAT?!!!”<br />
“Your additional punishment will be ten strokes of the belt,<br />
Ms. Johnson.” (Actually, though our regulations do say we have<br />
to give additional punishment, the amount is entirely the officer’s<br />
choice. Twenty whacks with a wet noodle would satisfy the requirements.<br />
But it seemed to me that Sally needed a bit more.)<br />
I forced Sally down over the edge of her bed, and lifted the hem<br />
of her t-shirt to make sure her upturned bottom was clearly visible.<br />
Mike removed his belt and handed it to me. Sally made an effort<br />
to stand up, and I pushed her back down on the bed; Mike sat on<br />
the bed and held her wrists to keep her in place.<br />
“Oh no! Please, I didn’t meeeeeean it. Please?” she wailed.<br />
“Ten strokes of the belt, Ms. Johnson.” And with out a pause,<br />
I delivered. CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK. CRACK<br />
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK. She bucked and squirmed, but<br />
could not escape the searing pain of leather on bottom.<br />
I stood back, and observed the girl, now sobbing and whimpering.<br />
I nodded to Mike, who let go of her wrists; instantly, they went<br />
to her backside, to try to rub out the sting. I handed the belt back<br />
to Mike, and he put it back on, and then restored his paddle and<br />
cuff holsters.<br />
“You may stand up now, Sally.” Slowly, she pushed herself off<br />
the bed. She made to bend over and pull her pants back up, and I<br />
15<br />
stopped her.<br />
“We’re not quite done yet. Some time in the corner for you,<br />
miss.”<br />
“Oh!” But she didn’t complain this time; clearly, she was learning.<br />
I held her upper arm, and made her waddle over to the corner<br />
opposite her bed. “Hands behind your back, Ms. Johnson.”<br />
I pulled a small device out of my holster, and took a few minutes<br />
to set it. It made a distinctive .<br />
“Ms. Johnson, did you hear that sound?”<br />
“Um, yes sir.”<br />
I placed the device on a dresser, and pointed it towards her. “You<br />
will stay in that corner until you hear that sound again. The device<br />
has a camera, which is being monitored by our staff at headquarters.<br />
Any attempt to leave that corner before your time is up will be<br />
seen. If it’s determined that you left the corner for any reason other<br />
than an emergency, you will be taken down to the station and dealt<br />
with there, where they have ways to punish you that will make<br />
what just happened here seem like a picnic. Ms. Johnson, you do<br />
not want that to happen, do you?”<br />
“Oh, no sir!”<br />
“Good.” I gave her exposed bottom a SMACK, just to emphasize<br />
the point. “I’ve left a mailing envelope. When you’re done, put the<br />
camera in the envelope, and drop it in a mailbox. Got that?”<br />
“Yes sir.”<br />
“Don’t forget. Or you will end up at the station.”<br />
I stood close to her, and said softly, “Sally, do you feel properly<br />
spanked now?”<br />
“Oh, yes sir, I do!”<br />
I turned to walk away, but she continued: “And thank you, sir,<br />
for getting here so soon after I called. I was so desperate, I needed<br />
this so bad. It’s been so long since I had a good spanking . . . ”
I smiled. “It’s no problem, Sally, that’s our job. You know the<br />
Emergency Spanking Service motto: ‘To punish and to serve’.”<br />
“Mmmhmm.” And she smiled back to me.<br />
Mike and I returned to the patrol car. I had that warm feeling<br />
after a job well-done, and a deserving citizen soundly spanked. On<br />
the readout, I saw a request for a responder for another call. “Oh<br />
boy, Mike, it’s a sorority house. And it looks like we’re closest.”<br />
It had been a long night, and it wasn’t over yet. I started the car,<br />
switched on the siren, and drove to our next call.<br />
I love this job.<br />

5. Rear-ended in Spankland<br />
CRASH-BAM!<br />
I’d been rear-ended. By a big old station-wagon. I pulled over to<br />
the side of the road, as did the culprit.<br />
I got out and inspected the damage. The rear bumper was partially<br />
crumpled. Dammit! I bet this would cost a lot. Hoped my<br />
insurance would cover most of it.<br />
As I mourned over my poor fender, I sensed the presence of<br />
someone standing behind me.<br />
“Oh, I’m so sorry! It was entirely my fault, sir. I should have<br />
been paying attention.”<br />
I turned around. The speaker was the driver of the car which<br />
had done all the damage. A woman. Very pretty I thought she<br />
was, with a childlike face and an artless manner, which were now<br />
accentuated by her obvious concern and remorse. She was dressed<br />
in a short summer dress, which fluttered gently in the soft, cool<br />
breeze.<br />
I found it difficult to be too hard on such beauty; unfair, I know.<br />
“That’s alright. It could happen to anyone, miss.” I put my hand<br />
lightly on her bare shoulder to comfort her. I could feel her tension.<br />
“You can call me Susan. And no, it’s not alright! I really should<br />
17<br />
have been paying attention to the road. Instead, I was daydreaming.<br />
Watching the clouds in the sky rather than the cars in front of<br />
me. Please sir, I deserve a sound spanking.”<br />
I’d been living in Spankland for almost a week, so I was not<br />
taken completely by surprise by her request. (I wasn’t exactly prepared<br />
for it, either!)<br />
The company I work for had decided to set up a branch office<br />
here in Spankland, and I was sent to manage it. I expected to spend<br />
several years here at the least, and I had done some research. The<br />
inhabitants of this bucolic country still live by the old traditions,<br />
and had many strange customs. One of those was a tradition of<br />
corporal punishment. Aside from its use for the discipline of recalcitrant<br />
criminals and naughty children, spanking is used here to<br />
settle civil disputes.<br />
In fact, it is a long standing custom in Spankland, that whenever<br />
one citizen feels the need to confess a fault, apologize for misdeeds,<br />
or show remorse or contrition to another, the proper way to do it<br />
is to offer up their bottom for punishment! They do this willingly,<br />
and are proud of their tradition; they see it as one of the reasons<br />
their nation is still peaceful and their people are warm and friendly.
Spankland is the home of “few lawyers and many sore bottoms”,<br />
as their saying goes.<br />
That was the theory, as I understood it. It seemed like I was now<br />
going to have the opportunity to put the theory into practice with<br />
the errant lady before me. This was the first time I’d been asked<br />
to punish someone, and I didn’t want to insult this young lady by<br />
refusing. I was willing to punish her – “when in Rome . . . ,” as they<br />
say – but I was unsure of the protocol.<br />
“Um, I’m really just a newcomer here,” I confessed. “I’ve never<br />
done this before. Um, do you think you could just give me some<br />
idea of what would be appropriate, miss?”<br />
“Oh, certainly!” Susan grinned at me, and seemed to relax a<br />
little. ”I already know that you’re from foreign parts; it’s a small<br />
town, and word gets around. Let me give you some pointers.<br />
”First of all, the choice of punishment is entirely up to you. I<br />
have no say in the matter at all, after I ask for it. You should feel<br />
free punish me until you think that justice has been served.<br />
“But I’ll tell you what I would do, if it were up to me.” She<br />
looked down at her feet. “I was reckless and negligent, and my<br />
actions caused expensive damage to your car. I realize I deserve<br />
severe punishment.” She hesitated, and looked at me for a minute.<br />
“I see that you are wearing a thick leather belt. I think, sir, that you<br />
should arrange me face down over the hood of your car and apply<br />
a sound strapping to my bare bottom.”<br />
I was shocked. “Out here in the road? In public?!”<br />
“Oh yes! It’s the only way to make things right.” She blushed<br />
a little. “It is terribly embarassing whenever I have to expose my<br />
bottom and privates to anyone who looks on; or in this case, to all<br />
the oncoming traffic. People will slow down to take a look, and in<br />
a small town like this where everyone knows everyone, I can look<br />
forward to being greeted with questions like ‘So, how does your<br />
bottom feel?’ for the next week or so.”<br />
18<br />
She looked into my eyes. “But I need to show you that I’m feel<br />
truly sorry for what I’ve done. And I’ve always said that negligent<br />
drivers are a menace to themselves and to others, and they should<br />
be made an example of. I can’t make an exception for myself, can<br />
I? Besides, it could be worse.”<br />
“How worse?”<br />
She giggled. “Well, once I got in big trouble. You see, I was<br />
attending a play with some friends, and I couldn’t help but make<br />
comments on the bad acting and the silly costumes. Well, I got to<br />
be pretty loud and boisterous. Eventually, they just stopped the<br />
play, and I was carried up on stage, bent over a stool, and given<br />
a sound caning in front of 300 people. You should have seen the<br />
theatrics I made! Then I had to remain on the set until the end of<br />
the last act. I was made to stand at the corner of the stage with my<br />
back turned to the audience and my panties at my ankles; everyone<br />
got to watch me wiggle my punished bottom when they got bored<br />
with the regular drama.”<br />
She rubbed the seat of her skirt, remembering. “That was the<br />
only time I was in the limelight, and I tell you, it’s not an experience<br />
I care to repeat! An old-fashioned strapping-in-the-service-lane is<br />
nothing compared to that.”<br />
“Hmm. It sounds to me like this won’t be your first roadside<br />
spanking. Should I take that in to account?”<br />
She put her hands behind her back, and stared at her toes again.<br />
“Um, yes sir. This is the third accident I’ve been responsible for<br />
this year. I need you to teach me a lesson I won’t forget.”<br />
There was nothing to say after that. I motioned with my hand<br />
and Susan glided to the front of my car. She placed her hands<br />
firmly on the center of the hood and lowered her body onto the<br />
still-warm metal. As she pressed her belly and breasts onto its surface,<br />
her skirt rode up, exposing bare thighs and a pantied bottom.<br />
Knowing that the moment of truth had come, I whisked those
panties right down to her feet. I was dazzled by the sight of a<br />
perfectly round bottom exposed to the light of day. She arched<br />
her back to present her upturned target to the ministrations of the<br />
strap, while pressing her legs tightly together. It was a beautiful<br />
sight: wide hips and round orbs, and shapely legs tapering down<br />
to small, elfin feet.<br />
After a few moments I recovered my wits, and considered the<br />
task at hand. It was hard to bring myself to punish such beauty, no<br />
matter how necessary it might be.<br />
I think she knew that I was hesitating. “Sir, I need to be properly<br />
punished. Please don’t be afraid to lay the strap on long and hard.<br />
We Spanklanders are used to taking it.”<br />
I still stood there, transfixed. She turned her head to look back<br />
over her shoulder at me. “Sir, please think about what I did to the<br />
rear-end of your car while you deal with mine.”<br />
That brought me back to the present. I remembered the accident<br />
and the state of my vehicle, and decided that this lady, sweet as she<br />
was, needed a strong dose of the strap-medicine to set her straight.<br />
I slowly unbuckled my belt. She heard the CLINK of the buckle,<br />
and shivered.<br />
I bent the belt over, and pressed it together between my fingers.<br />
The leather was smooth, but tough and hard.<br />
I gave her no warning. THWACK. I applied the stroke to the<br />
center of her bottom, not using my full force. A thick red line soon<br />
appeared on each of her cheeks.<br />
THWACK. Another stroke, lower down. The pain made her<br />
stand on tippy-toes for a second, but she was soon back down,<br />
in place for another stroke.<br />
CRACK-THWACK! I delivered several dozen more strokes in<br />
succession. I enjoyed the resilience of her quivering bottom-flesh<br />
under the impact of the strap. She began to gasp after each one,<br />
and was soon crying out “Ouch!” and “Oooh!” each time. She<br />
19<br />
began to pump her feet and thighs, and to twist her torso to one<br />
side or the other, involuntarily. It seemed as though her bottom<br />
was floating and bobbing in the soft breeze of the afternoon.<br />
I stopped suddenly, and asked her how she felt.<br />
“Oooh, sir, it huuurts, it huurts! Oooooooh!”<br />
“It’s supposed to hurt, isn’t it?”<br />
She composed herself a little. “Yes sir.”<br />
“Do you feel you’ve had enough?”<br />
“Oh yes, I certainly do! I’m so sore.” She wiggled her reddened<br />
bottom at me, as if to direct my attention to the sore spot.<br />
I was not entirely convinced by her protestation. I knew she was<br />
a Spanklander, and was probably used to much worse. I said so.<br />
“I don’t think you’ve had nearly enough, my girl. That was just a<br />
taste of what’s to come.”<br />
I laid in to her again, hard, with my full strength. The<br />
THWOCKs and CRACKs of my doubled-up belt began to have an<br />
affect on her. She began to sob and moan, and to wriggle and kick<br />
her legs out behind her.<br />
SPANK! “Oooooh! It stiiings.” CRACK! “Oooh, oh please, sir!”<br />
THWACK! “Oooh, sir, I’m sorry, oh!” SMACK-THWOCK!<br />
I continued the punishment, and she continued to bawl and<br />
writhe her legs while I tanned her reddened buttocks.<br />
After a while, a car drove by and slowed to a stop next to me.<br />
The window slid down and a man looked at the scene.<br />
“Nice work, stranger!” he said. “Sis has been wanting a good<br />
lickin’ coming to her for a while now. Don’t let up ’til she’s begging<br />
for mercy. Hey Suzy! You stay right there ’til this nice gentleman<br />
has leathered your backside good, do you hear?”<br />
Her brother’s appearance had made me stop for a minute, and<br />
gave her a chance to recover her breath. “Oooh. Yes, Dan, I will. I<br />
promise.”<br />
The young man drove off, apparently unconcerned that a total
stranger was roasting his sister’s rump. “Susan, I can stop now<br />
if you can’t take anymore,” I offered, not feeling as strict as her<br />
brother.<br />
“Oh, no sir!” she whimpered. “I – I can take it, sir. I won’t wimp<br />
out.”<br />
I continued with the punishment. As the belt bit into her bare<br />
bottom, she squirmed and squealed, but to no avail.<br />
At one point, another car drove by. It contained a couple, man<br />
and woman. As it slowed down to allow its occupants to observe<br />
the action, the woman flashed a “thumbs-up” sign at me.<br />
At long last, Susan’s bucking and writhing subsided, and she<br />
became like a whimpering sack of grain. I decided to end the punishment<br />
then.<br />
“Susan, the strapping is over.”<br />
She immediately reached behind her and pressed her palms on<br />
her stinging flesh. “Oooch!” she said.<br />
“None of that, Susan! Hands down, naughty girl.” She immediately<br />
complied, returning her hands to the hood of the car. “Your<br />
strapping is over, but your punishment is not. You are going to<br />
stay right there and let your bottom cool in the breeze until I say<br />
so, and you can think about the lesson you’ve learned while you’re<br />
at it!”<br />
“Yes, sir,” she whispered into the hood. I let her chill her raw,<br />
burning flesh for ten minutes. She wriggled and squirmed involuntarily,<br />
as the bitter breeze tortured her burning behind with it’s<br />
sudden gusts.<br />
Eventually, I told her, “It’s all over now.” She raised herself<br />
slowly from the car, and pressed her hands to her behind, not yet<br />
covered by her skirt. I thought she would not be able to speak to<br />
me for the shame, but apparently Spanklanders are raised to be<br />
polite. “Sir, thank you for spanking me,” she said. “You did a<br />
magnificent job. You could’ve been a born Spanklander.”<br />
20<br />
“Susan, are you sure I wasn’t too harsh with you?”<br />
“Oh no sir! That was just what I needed. I’ll remember this for<br />
weeks!” A sly grin appeared on her face. “If I don’t, I might need<br />
to have another ‘session’ with you.”<br />
I could see that she was in no condition to drive home, and I<br />
offered to take her to her house. She agreed readily. As she started<br />
to walk to the side of the car, she stumbled, and blushingly realized<br />
that her panties were still bunched around her ankles. She kicked<br />
them off and stuck them in her purse. “My bottom’s much too sore<br />
for panties right now,” she explained.<br />
I drove to her house. She spent the trip curled up in the back<br />
seat, keeping her bottom away from any hard surfaces.<br />
When we got there, she said, “Let me ask you to come in for a<br />
drink. After all the hard work you’ve done, you could use one, I<br />
bet!” She winked at me. As I entered in front of her, she closed the<br />
door behind me, and then she . . .<br />
But that’s a story for another day.
Chapter 6<br />
6. Birchwood College Interview<br />
”So there I was, bent over the edge of my bed with my nose<br />
buried in the sheets and my skirt lifted up above my waist and my<br />
panties bunched up somewhere down there around my ankles and<br />
my bottom pushed right up towards the ceiling because of the big<br />
pillows under my tummy, and my poor posterior was just itching<br />
because I could just imagine that thick, meaty strap that Daddy<br />
was holding whooshing down onto my bare bottom. Daddy made<br />
me stay there for it seemed like a couple of minutes before he began<br />
the spanking – he always does that, says it’s to give me chance<br />
to ‘think about what’s going to happen, and why it’s going to happen’.<br />
And boy, was I thinking about it! It’s always hard to keep still<br />
for a long stretch of time, and it’s especially hard when you’re really<br />
tense and expecting to get your bottom smacked, and especially<br />
difficult when you know you deserve a really good sound thwacking<br />
and you’re just a few minutes from getting one, and eventually<br />
I started fidgeting and pumping my legs up and down and squeezing<br />
and unsqueezing them together, like you do when you have to<br />
go to the bathroom really bad. I guess I was doing that so much<br />
that Dad had to warn me to stop it, or my punishment would be<br />
worse.<br />
21<br />
”Well, I didn’t really want it to get worse – or so I thought – so I<br />
tried as best I could to be as quiet as a brick. Eventually, Dad said,<br />
‘Jenny, do you understand why you are getting this spanking?’<br />
”I told him, ‘Yes sir, I do.’<br />
”Then he asked me, ‘Jenny, do you have anything you want to<br />
say before we begin?’<br />
“He always asks me that before I get punished. Gives me a<br />
chance to plead my innocence; Daddy is always fair. I felt a flutter<br />
in my tummy, because I knew somehow that I was going to regret<br />
what I was about to say. I thought about it for a second, and decided<br />
I had really better tell the truth this time, so I said, ‘Just that<br />
I’m really sorry for what I did, and even more sorry for lying about<br />
it. You put so much trust in me, and I really let you down this time.<br />
I don’t know how you can ever forgive me. I . . . I think I deserve<br />
a really severe p-p-punishment. I realize its got to be much worse<br />
than anything I’ve gotten before.’ Then I screwed myself up for a<br />
minute, and said ‘I think you should double the p-p-punishment,<br />
at least. It’s really only a tiny bit of what I deserve.’ ”<br />
“Did you think you would get some sympathy from your Dad<br />
by playing the penitent?”
”Oh, not at all! Dad takes discipline very seriously, and so do<br />
I. I knew that if I asked for a more severe punishment, I would<br />
probably get it. Well, if he really felt I didn’t deserve any worse, I<br />
wouldn’t get it, but I was pretty sure that this time he wasn’t going<br />
to feel too lenient. He said, ‘You’ve certainly earned it. But Jenny,<br />
are you absolutely sure about this? Forty-eight strokes of the strap<br />
is an awful lot; I’ve never given you more than half that many before.’<br />
”I couldn’t see his face; remember, all I could see were the blankets<br />
under my nose. But I could tell from the tone of his voice that<br />
I could still ‘withdraw’ my ‘application’ for a really severe whipping,<br />
if I wanted. But I said, ‘Dad, I’m sure about this. I’ve really<br />
got it coming. Please don’t let me off lightly.’<br />
”‘Very well, Jenny,’ he said, ‘forty-eight it will be, if you feel you<br />
need it. And you know I have no intention of letting you off lightly.<br />
You are going to feel every stroke.’ I could hear little taping noises;<br />
that was probably Daddy testing the strap against his palm. Then<br />
he said, ‘Remember, Jenny, moving out of place means extra swats.<br />
Tell me when you’re ready to start.’<br />
”When Daddy says I’ll get extra swats if I move, I know from<br />
experience he really means it! Once when I was about 12 years<br />
old, I was over Daddy’s lap getting a few swats over my jeans for<br />
saying a curse word, and I got kind of mad and pushed myself<br />
off his lap and onto the floor. Boy was that a mistake! Almost<br />
before I could realize how much of a mistake, I found myself back<br />
over Daddy’s lap jeans-and-panties-down, getting my bare bottom<br />
blistered by the hairbrush. To this day I have no idea how Daddy<br />
got a hold of that hairbrush so fast!<br />
“But this time, I really meant to stay in position even without<br />
Daddy’s threats. I knew I really deserved it this time, and I would<br />
do anything to show Daddy how sorry I was. I felt that if Daddy<br />
could see that I could willingly offer my naked bottom to the strap,<br />
22<br />
then he would really know how remorseful I was, and might even<br />
forgive me some day.”<br />
Jenny looked out the window, and seemed to be in a reverie.<br />
“When I think about it later, it does seem a little strange. There I<br />
was, an eighteen-year-old girl – really, I should say an eighteenyear-old<br />
woman now – about to apply for college and to leave<br />
home, and yet all anyone would have seen if they were there was<br />
a naughty little girl with her panties down about to get spanked<br />
by her Daddy. I’m legally an adult, and I could’ve just shouted<br />
‘no, Daddy, I won’t let you punish me’, and there’s really nothing<br />
he could do about it. But I didn’t do that. What I did was to say,<br />
very meekly, ‘Sir, I deserve to be soundly spanked, and I’m ready<br />
for my punishment.’ ” Jenny turned back to her examiner, and met<br />
her glance. “And you know what? I’m proud that that’s what I<br />
said.”<br />
“Really? You were proud to ask for a spanking? I’d think you’d<br />
feel incredibly ashamed to say such a thing.”<br />
”Well, yes. I mean, of course I felt ashamed to say it, but I was<br />
proud of myself too, all at the same time, if that makes any sense.<br />
Daddy’s always been pretty strict, compared to lots of other parents<br />
I know. But he is always very fair. There’ve been times when<br />
I thought that I was innocent, or even when I thought that being<br />
punished was unfair, given the circumstances. I would look him<br />
in the eyes and say something like ‘Daddy, I did not use the car<br />
yesterday. If I had, I agree I would really deserve a spanking right<br />
now, and I would take it. But I swear to you, on my honor, that<br />
I didn’t.’ Or whatever the case was. And Daddy would usually<br />
believe me, and let me off. So most of the times that Daddy has<br />
spanked me are times when I deserved it.<br />
“Of course, this just means that if I lie to Daddy, it makes things<br />
that much worse. Because Daddy is fair with me, I try to always be<br />
truthful to him. So I felt really guilty for having lied to Daddy this
time. He trusts me so much. That’s a lot of the reason I was getting<br />
such a severe whipping, at least in my mind. Probably Daddy’s<br />
too.”<br />
“But do you really think that you should be spanked at your age?”<br />
Jenny blushed a little, and looked away for a second. “Well . . .<br />
yes, I do.” She bit her lip. ”I certainly think that young children<br />
should be spanked when they are naughty. And I don’t think that<br />
there is a reason why older children and teenagers should immune<br />
to getting spanked, either. Sure, teenagers are ready to start taking<br />
responsibility for things, and for acting more like adults, and if<br />
they do, then of course they should be treated like adults. But they<br />
don’t always – I should know, I’ve done plenty of immature things<br />
– and, . . . well, ‘a childish punishment for childish behavior’ is<br />
what Daddy says.<br />
”Of course, being eighteen, you’d probably think I’d outgrown<br />
that kind of punishment. But obviously, it was my childish behavior<br />
that got me into this mess, so why shouldn’t I treated like<br />
a child? And if you’ve acted like a child, and if you deserve to<br />
be treated like a child, then I think that what your actual age is<br />
shouldn’t make any difference. I believe that children need to be<br />
spanked if they are naughty, and that their parents have every right<br />
to spank them. When I have children, you can bet I’m going to discipline<br />
them just like Daddy does me. That’s what I believe.<br />
“And well, if I believe that, then I have to believe that it all applies<br />
to me, right? You see, if I feel in my mind I’ve behaved like a<br />
naughty child, then in my mind I feel like I’ve given up my right<br />
to be treated like an adult. An adult should be adult enough to<br />
know that they’ve been childish, don’t you think? Since I certainly<br />
believe that Daddies should spank naughty children on their bottoms<br />
when they deserve it, then if, in my considered, adult opinion,<br />
I believe that that naughty child just happens to be me . . . well,<br />
it’s going to be me who gets that spanking!”<br />
23<br />
Jenny paused to catch her breath. “I don’t know why I’ve gotten<br />
all worked up about this. Anyway, that’s how I feel about it. I<br />
know lots of people wouldn’t agree with me, but I’ve thought a lot<br />
about it and I’m going to stand by my opinion. Which is, basically,<br />
that I’m still not too old to be spanked when I deserve it. No matter<br />
what other people might think.” She crossed her arms over her<br />
chest.<br />
“Well, Jenny, let me say that I certainly feel you deserve respect<br />
for having such a well thought-out view on things. I’m always impressed<br />
when a young woman takes a stand for what she believes<br />
in. I think you are a very outspoken, yet principled, young woman,<br />
which is exactly what a Birchwood woman should be.”<br />
“Oh, why thank you ma’am.” Jenny beamed, and relaxed.<br />
“It still amazes me that such an outspoken young lady could<br />
request a spanking so meekly. What happened next?”<br />
“It amazes me too,” Jenny laughed. “Especially after what happened<br />
next, which is that I heard a loud WHACK-sound, and then<br />
felt the sting of the first cut of the strap on my behind. Then it hurt;<br />
the first stroke always hurts a lot more than you expect.” Jenny<br />
absent-mindedly massaged the seat of her skirt with her hand.<br />
“So, did you keep to your resolve to hold still?”<br />
”I did, just barely. I was really determined to keep in position<br />
through the whole spanking; even more, I wanted to keep my<br />
mouth shut. It seems kind of undignified to be crying and shouting<br />
and kicking all through a spanking, I think, so I always try to take<br />
a licking with good humor – or at least, without being thoroughly<br />
infantile. And I started out fine; after the first stroke, I just sucked<br />
in some air, but kept perfectly still. I was able to keep pretty calm<br />
after the first few swats – I’ve had enough practice, after all – but<br />
after that the pain really started to get to me.<br />
”After all the spankings I’ve gotten, I’m sure I could get through<br />
eight or even ten strokes without making much of a fuss, despite
the pain. As long as that’s all the strokes there would be.<br />
“But this time, after each swat, I would close my eyes and clench<br />
my fists, maybe push my feet up on my toes a bit, trying to deal<br />
with the pain, and I’d think to myself ‘Oh my god, I have to get<br />
through forty-four (or whatever) more of these.’ Once you’re actually<br />
getting your bottom whacked, forty-four more strokes is about<br />
equal to infinity more. Each time the strap stings you, it seems<br />
as though the end is just as far away as it was before. I felt as<br />
though I’d be forever bent over that bed, having my behind eternally<br />
leathered. It kind of reminds me of that Greek guy with the<br />
rock. Sisyphus, right.” They both giggled.<br />
”Well, I can laugh about it now, but believe me I really believed<br />
it then. Anyway, after about the fifth stroke, I started making little<br />
gasp sounds after each one. Around the eighth or ninth, I began<br />
to kick my heels and pound my toes against the hard-wood<br />
floor. Didn’t do me much good, it was hurting more than ever.<br />
When Daddy straps me, he always leaves a little time between each<br />
stroke. Just enough time to get calmed down a bit and to start to<br />
anticipate the next stroke. After about a dozen or so I started crying<br />
out ‘OUCH’ or ‘Please, no’ after each stroke, and was I sobbing<br />
a bit.<br />
”Around midway through my punishment (though, honestly<br />
I’m not sure, because I’d completely lost count by then), Daddy<br />
stopped. Then he said, ‘Tell me when you are ready for the second<br />
half of your spanking.’ I took a minute to catch my breath and wipe<br />
some of the tears out of my eyes. I could just feel how raw and sore<br />
my bottom was. I reached behind me to touch my bottom, and it<br />
felt like I’d been sitting on the stove for a while. I winced even after<br />
the lightest touch of my own hand on my behind. I thought about<br />
how sore I was, and how was I ever going to get through the rest<br />
of it.<br />
”After a little while, I heard that taptaptapping sound of leather<br />
24<br />
against palm again, and realized that I’d been thinking a bit too<br />
long. ‘I’m ready, sir,’ I said.<br />
”Then Daddy said, ‘Jenny, please tell me what comes next.’ Oh<br />
God, you can’t imagine how horrible this was. Daddy was practically<br />
telling me to ask for the rest of the punishment. I know that<br />
I had asked for the spanking earlier, but that’s a lot easier before<br />
you’ve had your buttocks turned in to raw meat! I pounded my<br />
feet for a bit, and tried to imagine that I was somewhere else. But I<br />
could hear that Daddy, standing behind me with a strap, was getting<br />
restless.<br />
”I knew what I had to say, and somehow got myself to say it.<br />
‘Daddy, I’m going to get t-t-twenty-four more strokes of the strap<br />
on my bare b-b-bottom.’<br />
“ ‘Yes, dear. Then it will be all over.’ Then WHACK! After that I<br />
just lost it. I don’t remember much of the rest of the spanking, except<br />
that I probably spent most of the time bawling and squealing<br />
and kicking my feet into the air and then kicking them back onto<br />
the floor, and squirming like an eel; it was as though my bottom<br />
was trying desperately, but uselessly, to somehow get itself out of<br />
the way of that strap. I must have been a real sorry sight! But I<br />
gripped tightly to the bed with my fists and held on as tight as<br />
I could, which was the important thing. No matter how much it<br />
wanted to, my bottom didn’t have any choice in the matter. No<br />
matter how much my bottom told me ‘<strong>Get</strong> me the hell out of here!’<br />
I placed it squarely in the path of that brutal strap, like a big round<br />
target, and I kept it right there as the strap THWOCKed down on<br />
it again and again. So I stayed in place, and didn’t get any extra<br />
strokes.”<br />
Jenny grinned. ”Anyway, that’s about all I have to say about<br />
that spanking. I don’t think I even noticed when the swats stopped.<br />
Daddy had to say, ‘OK, princess, it’s all over,’ and then I could grab<br />
my burning buttocks and try to rub away the pain. Probably not
too smart, since they were too sore to touch. I took a few minutes<br />
to calm down while I was still bent over the bed. Then I finally<br />
stood up, very carefully.<br />
“I looked up into Daddy’s eyes, then I looked away. I knew there<br />
was something I had to say. ‘Daddy, thank you for giving me the<br />
spanking. I really deserved it. I don’t know if you’ll ever be able to<br />
forgive me.’ I looked at him again, and he was standing with his<br />
arms out, so I ran to him and got a great big hug. And I knew he<br />
would really forgive me.”<br />
“That hug must have been really nice after the spanking.”<br />
”Yeah, it was. Though Daddy was still holding the strap, and<br />
as he hugged me it dangled behind my back. Each time it grazed<br />
my bottom, I would jump and go ‘Ouch!’ It would be like Daddy<br />
to do that, on purpose even! Then we went downstairs and made<br />
dinner, and everything was just like usual. Except that I had to<br />
stand up at the dinner table, of course!<br />
”Anyway, that’s the story of my harshest punishment ever,<br />
Ms. Johnson. It was kind of difficult to tell it all; I’ve told you some<br />
things that I haven’t told my closest girlfriends, or even Daddy.<br />
But you asked, and I tried to give the whole story as best I could.<br />
Ms. Johnson smiled at Jenny. “I think you did a wonderful job.<br />
I now have a really good idea about how you feel about corporal<br />
punishment, and it seems to me that you have just the sort of<br />
qualities that would make you fit right in at Birchwood College.”<br />
Jenny was flattered by the complements. Being a modest girl,<br />
they made her a little nervous, so she tried to change the subject.<br />
“Ms. Johnson, can you tell me a bit more about how corporal<br />
punishment is used at Birchwood? I read the fliers and the applications<br />
materials, but it’s hard to tell what it’s really like from<br />
those. You’re an alumna, Ms. Johnson, you must have lots of stories<br />
about spankings at Birchwood. Were you ever spanked while<br />
you were there?”<br />

Chapter 7<br />
7. Cathy’s First Time<br />
Cathy stepped into the empty elevator, and punched the button<br />
for the sixth floor. The doors shut. Alone in the elevator, Cathy<br />
couldn’t help but express her amazement out loud.<br />
“I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.”<br />
The elevator whirred softly, but had no reply.<br />
“I can’t believe it,” Cathy tried again. “I am actually going to be<br />
spanked.” She could hardly whisper the last word; saying it made<br />
her feel so squirmy.<br />
Again, silence.<br />
Cathy tried again. “I am actually going to visit a man in his<br />
apartment, just so that he can put me over his lap and smack my<br />
bottom. I must be crazy!”<br />
“Ding,” said the elevator, and the door opened.<br />
Up until this hour, 26 year old Cathy had never been spanked.<br />
Oh, she had dreamed of being spanked ever since she was a little<br />
girl. But it had never happened, not even once. After years of<br />
yearning, and of wondering what it would be like, she’d finally<br />
scared up the gumption to get on a spanking personals site, and<br />
find a nearby gentleman who would not be averse to tanning her<br />
hide. She still couldn’t quite believe she’d had the nerve to do it,<br />
27<br />
but here she was, just moments away from a sound spanking. She<br />
felt all squirmy just thinking about it, a feeling which was somehow<br />
scary and delicious all at the same time.<br />
She found the right door, and knocked. The door opened.<br />
“Why hello, Cathy! Come right in,” said a man about her age.<br />
He smiled. “I’ve been so looking forward to meeting you in person.”<br />
“Hi, Edward,” she said as he took her jacket. She looked around<br />
her, taking in the living-room of Edward’s sixth floor apartment.<br />
It was sparsely decorated, though neat and clean; a thick shaggy<br />
carpet and dark wood paneling on the walls made it feel very comfortable.<br />
Several openings led to the kitchen and hallway; a door<br />
led to a balcony.<br />
Meanwhile, Edward took a good look at Cathy, and liked what<br />
he saw. Not too skinny, with a pleasingly plump posterior. A<br />
red blouse and conservative dark blue skirt accentuated her curves<br />
very nicely.<br />
The usual pleasantries ensued; she declined a drink, but accepted<br />
the opportunity to pee. When she emerged from the bathroom,<br />
she saw that Edward had a much more serious face, and she
knew the action was about to begin.<br />
“We both know why you’re here, young lady, do we not?”<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
“You’ve told me you’ve become quite lazy and irresponsible<br />
these days. And though you didn’t say it out loud, I can tell you’ve<br />
been acting like a self-centered little brat. It’s long long past time<br />
for you to face the consequences of your behavior, Cathy. Which<br />
means, miss, that you are going to receive a very sound spanking,<br />
over my knee, until I’m sure you’ve learned your lesson.” He<br />
pointed to an empty corner of the room. “Please stand in that corner,<br />
with your hands behind your back, and take a few moments<br />
to think about what’s about to happen.”<br />
She shuffled to the corner as directed. “This is it,” she thought to<br />
herself, “Just a few minutes, and I’m really going to get it!” Once<br />
in the corner, she couldn’t help but twist her head around, and<br />
say, “Remember, we agreed I would get to keep my panties on,<br />
right?” Cathy had been careful to insist on this. After all, she just<br />
wasn’t the sort of girl who would show her bare naked stuff to any<br />
random stranger. Oh no!<br />
“Yes, Cathy, that’s what we agreed. I will have to lift your<br />
skirt, of course, but all smacks will be delivered to the seat of your<br />
panties. Assuming you’re wearing any, of course.”<br />
Cathy snickered, “Of course I am.” She continued, “and we said<br />
you’d only use your hand.”<br />
Edward grimaced. “As I’m sure you remember, I am going to<br />
give you a good sound hand-spanking. Over your panties. And<br />
then you will receive a paddling with a hairbrush. On your panties,<br />
as requested. Isn’t that right, young lady?”<br />
“Uh, ok, I guess.”<br />
Edward walked up behind the girl in the corner. He took her<br />
chin in his hand, and swiveled her head so that he could look her<br />
right in the eye. Cathy tried to avert her eyes from his gaze.<br />
28<br />
“Cathy. Do you guess? Or do you know?”<br />
“Um, I, uh huh. Yeah, that’s what we agreed to,” she whispered.<br />
“Yes, it’s exactly what we agreed to,” said Edward, letting go of<br />
her chin. “Of course, in my opinion it’s not really a proper spanking<br />
unless the lady’s bottom is bare. If it’s embarrassing for you,<br />
well, all for the better. That’s just part of the punishment. That’s<br />
the right way to give a spanking: on the bare, unprotected bottom.<br />
Don’t you agree?”<br />
“Um, maybe so. But that’s not what’s going on today.”<br />
Edward sighed. “No, it isn’t. We won’t be doing it the right way<br />
today. I hope you are very grateful that I’m letting you keep your<br />
panties on, Cathy. Aren’t you?”<br />
“Oh, yes, I am!”<br />
In fact, Edward had demanded the right to use a hairbrush on<br />
her, to make up for the fact that he would not have the opportunity<br />
to gaze on her naked round bottom. Eventually she gave in to his<br />
request. Very reluctantly. She did not want to feel the smack the<br />
hairbrush at all; the idea totally scared her. But he’d given her no<br />
other option, so she gave in.<br />
Edward gave her a few minutes alone with her thoughts, and<br />
those thoughts were bouncing through her head like a roomful of<br />
ping-pong balls. “Oh my god, I’m going to get spanked! I’m so<br />
excited. I’m so scared. I hope I don’t act like a baby! He’s going<br />
to think my butt is too big. I’m crazy to be doing this, it’s going to<br />
HURT! I need to pee again.”<br />
Finally, the moment arrived. He called her out of the corner,<br />
and she trudged over to the chair, and stood beside where he sat.<br />
Almost before she knew it, she found herself looking close-up at<br />
shaggy red carpeting. Edward carefully lifted the skirt of the girl<br />
lying prone over his knees, revealing a lovely, round, white-pantyencased<br />
bottom. He knew he would enjoy reddening this rump,<br />
and got right to business.
A solid Smack! fell on Cathy’s left cheek, making her jump with<br />
surprise. It was followed by an equal Smack! on her right cheek,<br />
and then by a steady rain of spanks over her whole bottom. Each<br />
spank stung, and Cathy found herself kicking her legs up just a<br />
little after each one. Sometimes she let out an audible gasp, or a<br />
little plaintive cry: “Oh! Owwie!”<br />
Before long, the spanking created a warm burning sensation in<br />
her buttocks. Cathy reached back with her hand, as if to ward off<br />
Edward’s smacks. Deftly, Edward clasped her hand with his, and<br />
held it tightly behind her back. He continued spanking her for several<br />
more minutes. By the end, she was wriggling and squirming<br />
after each and every spank, crying “Oh! Ow! It hurts. Please! I’ll<br />
be good!”<br />
Just as she thought she couldn’t take any more, he stopped.<br />
“Think you’ve learned your lesson, miss?”<br />
“Oh, yes sir! I sure have.”<br />
“Well, young lady, unfortunately for you, I’m the judge of that.<br />
And I think it’s going to take quite a bit more for the lesson to sink<br />
in.” He helped her stand up, and directed her back into the corner.<br />
Her made her hold up the back of her skirt, displaying those big<br />
white panties, and the pinkness that was visible where the panties<br />
ended.<br />
“Cathy, I want you to take a few minutes to compose yourself,<br />
and to think about what’s coming next.” As he said this, he ostentatiously<br />
placed a wooden hairbrush on a table, where it would be<br />
visible from the corner of her eye.<br />
“Oh, I will!” she said, as Edward left the room.<br />
Just right now, you may be imagining a tearful, woebegone girl<br />
standing in the corner, wallowing in self-pity after having received<br />
a well-deserved sound spanking. In fact, the girl standing in the<br />
corner was anything but self-pitying. In fact, she was elated; she<br />
almost felt like she was floating on air, excited as she was.<br />
29<br />
“Oh my god! I am a spanked girl now!” Her bottom burned<br />
from the sting. “It hurts. But it feels so good!” She’d made it<br />
through her very first spanking. It had definitely hurt, but she’d<br />
been able to take it. She’d been so nervous, but that was gone now,<br />
replaced by giddy excitement. She almost wanted to open the window,<br />
and shout to the world, “Hey everybody, I just got spanked!<br />
Can you believe it?” (Almost.)<br />
Full of pent up nervous energy, she wanted to do something:<br />
laugh, jump up and down, or giggle insanely. Instead, she was<br />
caught in the corner, awaiting a hairbrush paddling. Every so<br />
often she glanced over at the hairbrush, and thought “I want to<br />
be spanked again. But I don’t want that hairbrush, no sir.” She<br />
hatched a little plan, and grinned to herself.<br />
“Mr. Hairbrush, you and me are going to have a little fun.”<br />
Soon Edward returned, and sat down in the chair. “Young lady, I<br />
hope you’ve been thinking about how to mend your ways, because<br />
I am going to correct them with a wooden hairbrush applied to<br />
your bottom. Please pick up the brush, and bring it over here to<br />
me.”<br />
Cathy stepped out of the corner, picked up the hairbrush. She<br />
turned it over in her hands; it was heavy and solid, with a glossy<br />
polish. She grinned at Edward, then suddenly dashed out of the<br />
room, and into the kitchen.<br />
“Young lady, you are making a big mistake,” he cried, as he<br />
jumped up after her. She led him on a merry chase, two times<br />
around the kitchen table, through the hallway, faking a dash into<br />
the bathroom before scrambling back into the living room. She saw<br />
the door in the wall in front of her, and ran over to try it. It opened,<br />
and she found herself on an open air balcony, six stories above the<br />
ground. With only a second to spare before Edward caught up<br />
with her, there was only one option. She tossed the brush as hard<br />
as she could. As Edward bounded up behind her, he was able to
watch it’s trajectory. Spinning, the hairbrush sailed across the alley,<br />
bounced off the brick of the opposite building, ricocheted off a balcony<br />
three floors down from Edward’s, then tumbled almost to the<br />
ground. It hit the corner of a trash dumpster with a loud CRACK,<br />
and Cathy and Edward saw the handle of the brush sheared off,<br />
trailed by a spray of splinters.<br />
Cathy was stunned speechless. Edward looked sadly at the<br />
scene below, and mused, “That was a really nice hairbrush. They<br />
don’t really make them like that much anymore. It’ll be expensive<br />
to replace, even if I can find one like it.”<br />
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that, really,” she sobbed.<br />
“I’ll pay for a new one, I will, I promise.” She buried her head in<br />
her hands.<br />
Far below, they saw a man walk down the alley. He idly kicked<br />
at the remains of the hairbrush, and walked on.<br />
Edward sighed. “Oh, don’t worry about it. The hairbrush<br />
doesn’t really matter, anyway.” He took her shoulder, turned her<br />
around and led her back into the apartment.<br />
“Are you sure it doesn’t. Cause I’ll buy you a new one, if you<br />
want.”<br />
He silently closed the door. Then, taking her hands in his, he<br />
pulled her arms behind her back. Holding her that way, he directed<br />
her into the room, towards the couch.<br />
“Gosh, I’m so glad you’re not upset. I know I’d be furious, if it<br />
was me. Oh, I can be so stupid sometimes.”<br />
Edward guided her to the back of the big plush couch that dominated<br />
the living-room.<br />
“I guess I just got carried away. All the excitement got to me, I<br />
guess.”<br />
Edward firmly pushed her torso, and bent her over the back of<br />
the couch. Her face buried in a seat cushion, Cathy began to feel a<br />
bit concerned.<br />
30<br />
“Um. You said it didn’t matter. Didn’t you?”<br />
“Young lady, you are in big trouble.”<br />
“oh”<br />
“I don’t care about the hairbrush. It just a thing; it can be replaced.<br />
What I care about is your idiotic, irresponsible, and juvenile<br />
behavior.”<br />
“um, I guess I wasn’t thinking . . . ”<br />
“Catherine Marie, quiet!” More softly, he said, “People walk<br />
through that alley all the time. That brush could have landed on<br />
somebody’s head.”<br />
“but, but, I didn’t mean to . . . ”<br />
“Young lady, you will NOT speak until I ask you to. Do you<br />
understand me?”<br />
“Yes, sir.”<br />
“I wouldn’t enjoy having to call 911, and explain how some poor<br />
fellow was knocked out by a falling hair-care implement. Or explain<br />
how he got eyes full of wood-splinters. Is that the sort of<br />
thing you enjoy, Catherine Marie?”<br />
“No. No. Of course not!”<br />
“So you say you just weren’t thinking, do you? I guess you just<br />
happened to forget to use the thing between your ears. More likely,<br />
you’ve just never grown up, and you enjoy acting like a spoiled<br />
little child.”<br />
“No! I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t meeaan to!” she whined.<br />
Cathy had never received such a chewing-out since she was a little<br />
kid.<br />
“Enough.” Edward went over to a closet. He returned carrying<br />
a thick, heavy leather strap, which he placed on the couch right<br />
where Cathy could see it. “Guess you’ll be feeling this instead of<br />
the hairbrush, naughty little thing.” Cathy gasped.<br />
Edward walked behind her, and rolled up the hem of her skirt,<br />
uncovering her bottom.
“Catherine Marie, you are going to be punished in the timehonored<br />
way all misbehaving children are punished. Which<br />
means, young lady, that you have lost the privilege of having your<br />
bottom protected.” In one quick motion, he yanked her panties<br />
right down to her ankles, revealing two very pink bottom-cheeks.<br />
“Ooooh,” she gasped.<br />
“Quiet. I will not hear any argument from you, missy. You know<br />
you have this coming.”<br />
With that, he picked up the strap, brought it high above his<br />
shoulder, and thwacked it down on her upturned bottom with a<br />
meaty CRACK!<br />
“Yeeooow!” she screamed.<br />
Again he brought it down, with all the force he could muster.<br />
CRACK!<br />
“Aaaaugh, oooow!”<br />
Cathy’s hand-spanking had made her bottom tingle warmly. It<br />
had stung, but she’d discovered she could enjoy it. But there was<br />
nothing at all to enjoy about being bent over the couch, having her<br />
bare bottom tanned by an old strip of well-oiled leather. Edward<br />
pummeled her backside with punishing strokes, and she danced to<br />
their tune. She was openly crying now, crying out in anguish after<br />
each stroke. Edward put his palm on the small of her back to hold<br />
her in place, as she squirmed and kicked.<br />
Soon she was sobbing like a little girl, as the strokes continued<br />
to rain down on her defenseless behind. She felt utterly sorry for<br />
herself. She was sorry for being so stupid and thoughtless. She<br />
was sorry for being such a screw-up. Most of all, she was sorry<br />
that she’d disappointed this man she’d only met in person minutes<br />
earlier.<br />
After what seemed like ages, Edward threw the strap down. He<br />
lifted the howling girl in his arms, and she buried her head on his<br />
shoulder.<br />
31<br />
Finally, she stopped crying enough to wipe the tears from her<br />
eyes. She looked at him, and murmured, “Are you still angry at<br />
me?”<br />
“No, I’m not angry anymore, Cathy.” He hugged her tightly.<br />
Then he brought her to the bathroom. She twisted around to look<br />
at her butt in the mirror, and gasped; it was all red, with a few<br />
angry purple marks.<br />
“So,” she said, looking into Edward’s eyes, “do you consider<br />
that a spanking done the right way?”<br />
Edward grinned. “Oh yes, Cathy, I certainly do.”
Chapter 8<br />
8. Extra Credit<br />
A tentative knock on the door. “Come in,” I said.<br />
Samantha Foster cautiously opened the door. A cute brunette,<br />
dressed in a red top, shorts, and flip-flops. A typical-looking female<br />
undergraduate.<br />
“Thank you for seeing me, Professor Rogers. I know you’re very<br />
busy.”<br />
“I am very busy, Samantha. But I’m happy to spare a few minutes.<br />
Have a seat.” The poor thing really believed that 7 o’clock on<br />
a Saturday evening is the only hour I have free. I chose that time<br />
because the building is conveniently empty.<br />
She sat down in a straight-backed chair, with her hands clutching<br />
her knees. I can tell she’s worried; she probably already<br />
guessed why I’ve asked to see her.<br />
“I wanted to talk to you about the paper you handed in last<br />
week, Samantha.” She avoided my gaze; she knows what’s up.<br />
Samantha is a senior, and is taking my Comp Lit 413 class for her<br />
major. (For those of you who don’t have a course catalog handy,<br />
it’s called The Romance of Chastisement: Punishment and Sexuality in<br />
the 19th Century Novel. I get a huge kick out of teaching this class,<br />
as you might imagine; it’s one of the most popular courses offered<br />
here.) Samantha is quite intelligent, if a bit lazy.<br />
33<br />
I show her a sheaf of papers. “Samantha. I have here an essay<br />
with your name on it. Please take a look at it.” She glances at it. It<br />
begins:<br />
Samantha Foster Comp Lit 413<br />
“Disobedience and discipline in Jane Eyre”<br />
The role that discipline plays in the changing role of heroines<br />
in gothic novels is shown by the the so-called “lost<br />
chapter” of Jane Eyre which has recently come to light<br />
(Kemp, 2008.)<br />
“Did you write this, Samantha?”<br />
“Um . . . ” She looks at the floor.<br />
“Now please look at this.” I hand her another sheaf of paper, a<br />
printout from a website. It begins:<br />
“Transgression and correction in the novels of Charlotte<br />
Bronte”<br />
The role of castigation in the evolution of the female protagonist<br />
of the gothic novel is exemplified by the recently<br />
found “lost” chapter of Jane Eyre (Kemp, 2008.)
I said the girl was bright. She knew better than to copy the text<br />
of the online article word for word; instead, she rephrased every<br />
sentence in her own style. Still, if you put the papers side by side,<br />
you’ll see they’re identical.<br />
“Do you know where I found this article, Samantha?” Of course,<br />
I knew exactly where she’d found it. I’d written the damn thing<br />
myself, and uploaded it to www.termpapers.com.<br />
Her eyes were already welling with tears. “I didn’t mean to copy<br />
it, sir. I just looked at it a bit, like for research . . . and then I didn’t<br />
have much time, so . . . ”<br />
“Samantha Foster,” I begin in my best oh-so-disappointed voice,<br />
“the consequences of cheating are very serious. I am going to have<br />
to give you an F for the paper, Samantha. Which means it is very<br />
unlikely that you will pass this course.”<br />
“Oh no! I need this class to graduate.”<br />
“And I will have to write a letter, which will be be placed in your<br />
permanent file, detailing what you did. Any professional school<br />
you apply to is going to ask for that file.” I knew she wanted badly<br />
to go to law school.<br />
“Oh (sob) my life is ruined.” I handed her a tissue, and let her<br />
have her cry.<br />
“Samantha,” I said, after a while, “it’s not that I want to mess<br />
up your plans for law school. But I’m afraid you deserve to be<br />
punished for cheating. It’s not only wrong, it’s an insult to me. I<br />
try my hardest to treat students honestly and fairly, and I expect to<br />
receive honesty in return.”<br />
I put my hand on my chin, and pretended to think, while the<br />
poor girl wept softly. “Samantha . . . I’m willing to consider a different<br />
kind of punishment.”<br />
She perked up. “What is it, Professor Rogers? I’ll do anything to<br />
get a passing grade.”<br />
“I’m not sure how to put this. Samantha –” I paused dramati-<br />
34<br />
cally “– have you ever been spanked?”<br />
Her face turned a deep crimson hue. Lovely. So help me, I love<br />
to make girls blush!<br />
Eventually, she stammered out, “Uh huh. When I was a kid.”<br />
“And who spanked you, and why.”<br />
“Oh, my dad spanked me, for stupid things kids do, you know.”<br />
“Did he put you over his knee?”<br />
“Usually.”<br />
“Usually, Samantha?”<br />
“Um, one time he used his belt.”<br />
“Oh. And why did he do that, miss?”<br />
She looked down at her toes. “When I was in middle school, I<br />
got mixed up with bad crowd. We’d, like, pick on other girls, or<br />
rough them up. I got caught. Dad was really mad about that. He<br />
gave me a good licking with his belt. I guess I deserved it, and I<br />
learned my lesson.”<br />
“And what do you think you deserve for cheating, young lady?”<br />
“Um . . . um, I dunno.”<br />
“Yes you do. Don’t you, Samantha?” She nodded.<br />
I unbuckled my belt; her eyes went wide as saucers. “I’m prepared<br />
to give you another chance, Samantha. I don’t want your<br />
college career to be ruined by one little mistake.” I folded the belt<br />
in half, and tapped the end against my palm. “You have until Friday<br />
to hand in a proper essay. I expect it to be original work, young<br />
lady. Understood?”<br />
“Yes, sir.”<br />
“Please bend over the side of the desk, Samantha.”<br />
She went over to the side of the desk, and began to lean forward,<br />
and hastily I said, “No, not there. Here, stand in front of the desk.”<br />
I guided her to the correct location, and applied gentle pressure<br />
to the small of her back. “All the way, young lady, til your face<br />
touches the desk.” She did as I asked. The desk was low, so she
was bent low. Her bottom was her highest part.<br />
I looked over my shoulder. The closet door was slightly ajar.<br />
After a few seconds, the lens of a video camera peeked out in the<br />
gap between the door and door-frame. Good! The show could now<br />
begin.<br />
“You left out one important detail about the belting your father<br />
gave you. Samantha, did anything come between your bottom and<br />
his belt?” Of course, I knew the answer before I asked; but better<br />
to make her say it!<br />
“Oh, please sir, isn’t it enough, me getting spanked?” she<br />
pleaded.<br />
“I’m waiting for an answer, young lady.”<br />
In an almost inaudible whisper, “It was on the bare.”<br />
“Well then, miss. You know what comes next.”<br />
She stood up, and twisted her neck to look at me. “Please?” I<br />
shook my head. Slowly, with a sigh, she unbuttoned her shorts,<br />
and slid them down. At last, the sight I’d been waiting for! The<br />
beautiful, generous curves of her plump pale bottom. Such a gorgeous<br />
picture! I hoped it came out well on video.<br />
“Back in position young lady.” She did as I requested. “Samantha,<br />
I am going to give you twenty swats with the belt. You will<br />
stay right where you are. You will not resist in any way. You will<br />
show by your actions how sorry you are, and so prove to me that<br />
you’ve earned a second chance. Have you heard me?”<br />
“Yes, sir. (sniff)” I could see she was shivering just a bit, which<br />
caused her bottom to wiggle hypnotically. I could have stood<br />
watching all day, but there was a job to do. I tapped the belt against<br />
her bottom cheeks, testing my aim; involuntarily, she clenched. I<br />
lifted the belt, then brought it down with a loud CRACK! right<br />
across the center of her bottom.<br />
“Yikes! Owwww!” she cried. She attempted to reach back and<br />
protect her rear.<br />
35<br />
“Samantha Foster, hands in front of you!” She complied, and not<br />
wanting to give her time to change her mind, I struck again.<br />
CRACK! “Ugh! That hurts!”<br />
I applied the strokes steadily, giving her just enough time to feel<br />
each one before delivering the next. CRACK! “Oh!” CRACK!<br />
“Aaah.” She kicked her heels. CRACK! “Oh sir please . . . ”<br />
CRACK! “Oh, no, it hurtssss . . . ” CRACK! “Aaaaaaaaaauugh!”<br />
That one caught the top of her thighs. CRACK! “Oooh.” CRACK!<br />
“Owwwie!” CRAAAACK! “Oohohoho!” She drummed her feet<br />
on the floor after that particularly hard one. I looked back to make<br />
sure that the camera was getting every bit of the action.<br />
I paused for a minute or too to let her get her breath back. “I<br />
wonder if this is making any impression at all on you?” I asked.<br />
“Yes yes it is please yes it is!”<br />
“And what have you learned?”<br />
“Don’t cheat. I won’t cheat. I’ll never do it again oh no . . . ”<br />
I rested my palm lightly on her now pink bottom. I could feel the<br />
warmth of the spanked flesh. Standing back, I said, “Miss Foster,<br />
there are ten more strokes to go.” Without giving her a chance to<br />
answer, I resumed the punishment.<br />
CRACK! “Oooh.” CRACK! “Aaah!” CRACK! “Aiaiaiaaaugh!”<br />
On that one the tip of the belt caught the inside of her bottom cleft.<br />
CRACK! “Oh please” CRACK! “Please sir” CRACK! “No more”<br />
“Aaagh. I’ve learned” CRACK! “learned my lesson sir” CRACK!<br />
“Owwwww!” CRACK! “Iwontdoitagainoooowww!”<br />
I paused before delivering the last stroke. “Do not make me regret<br />
giving you another chance, young lady.” I reached back, and<br />
delivered a mighty CRAACK! across the middle of her poor punished<br />
bottom.<br />
“Aaaaaaaah! Owowowow.”<br />
I regarded the punished girl, bent sobbing over a wooden desk,<br />
her bottom red and swollen from the beating it had taken. I felt
sure that bottom could take quite a bit more punishment, actually;<br />
but I did not want to press my luck. I helped her stand up, and<br />
handed her a tissue. She daubed at her tears.<br />
“You took that very well, Samantha. You’re a very brave girl, to<br />
accept a punishment like that. I’m proud of you.” That actually<br />
brought a weak smile to her face. “Now get your pants up, young<br />
lady. You look indecent standing there like that!”<br />
“Oh, sorry sir.” Sheepishly, she pulled up her panties, then<br />
tugged her shorts up over her hips.<br />
I picked up her paper, and threw it in the trash. “Samantha, as<br />
far as I’m concerned, this document does not exist. I look forward<br />
to reading your true thoughts about the lost chapter of Jane Eyre<br />
on Friday. You can go now.”<br />
“Thank you sir. Thank you so much!” With that she scurried<br />
out. I closed the door, and listened as her footsteps faded into the<br />
distance.<br />
“The coast is clear, Justin, you can come out now.” Justin Boyle,<br />
a scruffy looking junior, emerged holding the video camera.<br />
“That was amazing, professor! Incredible!”<br />
“I hope you were able to hold the camera steady in all your excitement.”<br />
“Oh, don’t worry, Professor Rogers. The video came out great.<br />
Here, look.” Together, we watched the video on the little camera<br />
screen. It was all there on video, the poor girl baring her bottom<br />
and bending over to receive a good leathering.<br />
“Congratulations, Justin. This video is certainly going to earn<br />
you an A for the course.” He grinned. “Please don’t forget to send<br />
me a copy.”<br />
“Of course, professor.”<br />
“And thank you for relaying to me what she told you. Those<br />
things she told you about her childhood experiences of spanking<br />
were quite helpful.”<br />
36<br />
I offered him a seat. “You’re going to see Samantha tonight,<br />
right?” I asked.<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
“Well, I think you are in luck. You should have no trouble getting<br />
that young lady over your knee tonight.”<br />
“Do you think so? I’ve always wanted to, but it never seemed<br />
like the right moment.”<br />
“Well, I think the right moment has come. As long as you display<br />
confidence, she will accept whatever you hand out.” I paused to<br />
consider. “She knows you disapprove of her cheating, doesn’t she?<br />
Even though you showed her how to find that paper?”<br />
“Oh, yeah. So I showed her that paper online that you told me<br />
about, and I was like, ‘Look at this, Sam, it’s exactly like your topic,’<br />
and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, you could just hand it in like it is, it’s<br />
perfect.’ And I could tell she was thinking about it, so I said, ‘But<br />
you better not, that would be cheating.’ But I figured she would<br />
use it anyway, and she did.”<br />
“Good enough, I guess. So this means that this evening you are<br />
going to express your displeasure upon her bottom.”<br />
Justin looked eager, but wary. “I dunno. She won’t want to have<br />
anything to do with being spanked, after all this.”<br />
“I think you’d be surprised, Justin.” I thought some more. “Tell<br />
you what. Here is what I recommend. That young lady is going<br />
to need some serious consoling tonight, and who better than<br />
her boyfriend to provide it. After letting her have a good cry in<br />
your embrace, you might offer to apply some soothing lotion to<br />
her backside.”<br />
“Oh! I see . . . ”<br />
“Indeed. Once you have the girl pants-down and over your lap,<br />
give her bottom a nice rub with some soothing cream. She’ll soon<br />
feel quite relaxed and comfortable in that position. That’ll be the<br />
right time to explain to her how disappointed you are that she tried
to cheat, and that she practically made you her accomplice! A good<br />
sound hand-spanking will do the trick. To be honest, Justin, I think<br />
she will prove to be quite receptive to the idea.”<br />
“Wow, that could work. That’s a great idea. Thanks, Professor<br />
Rogers!” He grinned.<br />
I showed the young man out, and closed the door. I poured myself<br />
a single malt, offered a silent toast to the young couple, and<br />
congratulated myself of a job well done.<br />
I am so proud to be able to contribute to the education of young<br />
people!<br />

Chapter 9<br />
9. The Teacher is a Brat<br />
The classroom was a kind of barely controlled chaos. Children<br />
making messes, children picking things up, children shouting, children<br />
running in circles. A blonde girl climbed on a chair, lifted a<br />
cardboard wrapping-paper tube to her shoulder, carefully aimed it<br />
toward a group of kids, and shouted “Watch out, I’ve got a gun!<br />
BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM! You’re all dead!”<br />
“Jessica! Stop it right now, young lady. The principal is going to<br />
show up any minute, and you’ll be in big trouble if he sees you.”<br />
Megan Price lifted the unruly child off the chair, and pointed her<br />
towards her friends, one of whom whispered to little Jessica, “Be<br />
careful! Don’t you know, if you get sent to the principal’s office,<br />
he’s gonna spank you with a big paddle . . . ”<br />
Megan smiled. Schoolhouse rumor was out of date; no one had<br />
gotten spanked at Gumbranch Elementary in decades, and she was<br />
quite sure there was no paddle in the principal’s office. Still, she<br />
wasn’t going to tell the kids that; a little fear of the principal would<br />
help keep the children in line.<br />
She looked fondly at her first graders. She’d come here less<br />
than a year ago fresh out of college, with the ink still wet on her<br />
teacher’s certification, and was handed the entire first grade of the<br />
small town of Gumbranch to teach. Now it was the last day of<br />
39<br />
class, and she looked on her class with a sense of pride. They were<br />
really such good kids, even bratty Jessica! She was sad that the<br />
school year was over; summer vacation was going to be so boring<br />
by comparison.<br />
“May I have a few words with your class, Miss Price.” Startled,<br />
Megan turned and saw Principal John Wooding standing at the<br />
door.<br />
“Oh, of course.” She clapped noisily. “Class, the principal has<br />
something to say to you.”<br />
The children came to order instantly. As the principal congratulated<br />
the students (and got big cheers when he called them “second<br />
graders”), Megan watched him dreamily. He was a tall, athletic<br />
man, always calm and composed. His easy confidence made it<br />
easy for him to hold the attention of a class of frenetic first graders.<br />
In his mid-thirties, he’d spent several years in the army before leaving<br />
to take up a career in education. He taught gym class as well<br />
as being principal of the little small-town elementary school.<br />
Megan wasn’t usually attracted to older men. But this man filled<br />
her thoughts. She imagined his strong arms wrapping around her,<br />
protecting her; controlling her; doing things to her. She sighed.<br />
She could never tell him how much she lusted after him. If only
she could get his attention!<br />
He finished his little speech. He came over to Megan, and out of<br />
earshot of the kids, said, “Looks like things are under control here,<br />
Megan. Need anything before I go?”<br />
“I need you to carry me off to the cloakroom in your big strong<br />
arms and ravish me,” is what she thought, but did not say. What<br />
she really said was, “Sure, I could use a nap right about now.<br />
Thanks for covering my class for me, you’re such a sweetie!”<br />
He pretended to ignore her comment. “One more thing, Miss<br />
Price. After the kids leave and you clean up, could you come see<br />
me in my office. We have a few things to discuss.”<br />
“Um, yes sir,” she replied, and he left. Megan was flustered.<br />
What did he want? “I bet he wants to congratulate me on my first<br />
year here,” she tried to believe. But she feared he’d inform her<br />
that, sadly, she would not be rehired on for next year? Or was<br />
there some other thing he wanted to discuss. Megan gulped; surely<br />
there was no way he could know . . .<br />
She shook herself, and clapped her hands. “Okay, kids. Let’s<br />
make the classroom nice and neat before we leave.” Jessica piped<br />
up, “Awwww, do we haaaave to?”<br />
Standing at the door marked “Principal Wooding”, Megan<br />
somehow felt like a naughty schoolgirl. Her knock reverberated<br />
down the empty halls of the now quiet schoolhouse.<br />
“Come in. Please close the door behind you.”<br />
He sat behind a big metal desk. There were several chairs in the<br />
room, but he did not invite her to sit.<br />
“Um,” she started hesitantly, “I feel like I’m in trouble, hee hee,<br />
being called to the principal’s office.”<br />
He looked at her blankly.<br />
40<br />
She tried to joke. “Are you going to use that paddle the kids<br />
think you have?” The last part came out as a mumble, and she<br />
blushed.<br />
“So, Miss Price. The school-year is over. How do you think it<br />
went?”<br />
“Um, I think it went really great, Mr. Wooding! They’re a great<br />
group of kids. I’m really going to miss them.”<br />
“Well, I have to say, I’ve heard a bunch of good things from the<br />
parents about you. And I know the kids adore you. Your performance<br />
as a teacher is all we hoped for.”<br />
Megan beamed.<br />
“Unfortunately, you have completely failed to hold to the standards<br />
of conduct we expect for our faculty.”<br />
She stood, mouth agape. What had he found out? “You stupid,<br />
stupid, girl,” she thought. Out loud, she tried look innocent.<br />
“Wha? I mean, what do you meeeean?”<br />
“Do you remember this?” He showed her a photo. His car, decorated<br />
with shaving cream scrawls. She could plainly read “Wooding<br />
is the best!”<br />
“Crap, he knows,” she thought. “Why am I always so stupid?<br />
Why do I always have to play pranks on guys I like? When other<br />
girls want to get a guy’s attention, they give out their phone number,<br />
or flash their tits or something. Why can’t I be like that? Now<br />
he just hates me.” She felt she could cry, but she thought she’d<br />
better try to tough it out.<br />
“Uh huh. Um, didn’t it turn out some former students did it?”<br />
“That’s what I thought at first, Miss Price. And if that’s who<br />
it was, I’d be happy to enjoy the joke.” He reached in his desk<br />
drawer, and pulled out several cans of shaving cream. “Do you<br />
know where I found these, Miss Price?”<br />
“At the grocery store?” she quipped.<br />
He raised his eyebrows. “I do NOT appreciate your attitude,
Miss Price. I found them in your desk drawer.” He paused. “Cat<br />
got your tongue?”<br />
She flushed. she ought to beg him for mercy. But she could not<br />
help herself. “Well, I just thought everyone needed to know what<br />
a great boss you are. That’s a good thing, right? You should be<br />
thanking me!” She beamed at him.<br />
He sighed, stood up, and walked over to her. His six foot framed<br />
towered over her, and she shivered.<br />
“You are an insufferable BRAT, Miss Price.” He unbuttoned the<br />
cuffs of his shirt-sleeves. “And I know exactly what insufferable<br />
brats need.”<br />
“Oh yeah? What are you going to do, spank me?” He grinned<br />
serenely. Taking her earlobe in his hand, he tugged her over to a<br />
straight-backed chair.<br />
“Hey! Stop it!”<br />
He sat down on it, and hauled her over his lap. “Miss Price,<br />
I find your attitude appalling. I expect you to deal with me in a<br />
respectful and professional manner. Snide and sarcastic remarks<br />
will get you nowhere.” He delivered a hearty smack to the seat of<br />
her black skirt.<br />
“Ow! Hey. You can’t do this.”<br />
“And you can’t stop me, Miss Price.”<br />
He lifted the light fabric of her warm-weather skirt, to reveal<br />
plain white panties. Megan gasped and blushed; if only she’d chosen<br />
sexier underwear, instead of granny-panties!<br />
He spanked the seat of her panties. She felt the sting of each of<br />
the sharp smacks; they hurt! She felt just like a little girl, being<br />
spanked by her daddy.<br />
“Come on, stop! Ow!” she whined. “I take it all back. You’re not<br />
great, you’re EVIL! Ow!” She wriggled and squirmed, clenched<br />
and unclenched her bottom, but the smacks kept coming.<br />
When he stopped, she sighed. “Is that all you got, mister?”<br />
41<br />
SMACK! “Up, brat.” He lifted her to her feet. Digging in a<br />
drawer, he brought out a fearsome slap of polished wood. “Schoolhouse<br />
rumor isn’t always wrong, you see. I do have a paddle. But<br />
I never expected I’d have to use it.”<br />
She blanched. “Eeek! No please. I’m sorry, really . . . ”<br />
He guided her over to the side of the desk. Before she realized<br />
it, he whisked her panties down to her knees.<br />
“Aah, no!” She covered her nakedness with her hand.<br />
“Hands in front of you. NOW.” She complied.<br />
“I think a dozen swats will make you very sorry for defacing my<br />
vehicle.”<br />
“I’m already sorry! Please don’t.”<br />
He surprised her with a sound CRACK of the paddle on her defenseless<br />
upturned bottom.<br />
“Aaaagh, ow!” she cried. Eleven more swats followed, deliberate<br />
and hard. After each one she cried out, kicked her heels, and<br />
clenched her bottom. By the end she was sobbing; her tears soaked<br />
into the ink-blotter.<br />
When it was over, he let her stand up, and handed her a tissue.<br />
She daubed at her tears, then reached back to rub her bruised butt.<br />
“Oh, that smarts!” She pulled her panties up. “Are you done, mister?”<br />
“No, but that’s enough for now.” He reached among the papers<br />
on his desk. “Remember this?” It was a photo of his house; toilet<br />
paper dangled from the gutters and over the trees.<br />
“Uh, maybe.”<br />
“Thought you might.” He pulled out a newspaper clipping.<br />
“Remember? This was up on the bulletin-board.” It showed a<br />
photo of the school soccer team, together with the principal, who<br />
was wearing an improvised beard and mustache drawn in pencil.<br />
“You can’t prove I did that,” she pouted.<br />
“I watched you scribble on it, you silly girl.”
“Oops.”<br />
“There are at least a dozen of your little pranks I know of for<br />
sure, and more I suspect. Young lady, you are going to pay for<br />
each one.”<br />
He took her chin in his hand. “Your bottom is too bruised for me<br />
to deal with you now. Here’s what’s going to happen, miss. Each<br />
week during summer break, you will come see me, and each time<br />
we will get to the bottom of another one of your little shenanigans.<br />
Do you understand me?”<br />
“I do,” she said weakly.<br />
“Now get your bruised behind out of my office, before I put you<br />
across my lap again.” She scurried out, clutching the seat of her<br />
skirt.<br />
Painfully, she settled into the seat of her car. She was flushed, excited<br />
and mortified all at once. “I hope he couldn’t see how turnedon<br />
I was,” she thought. “It’s so embarrassing!”<br />
As she drove home, she replayed the spanking (yum!) and the<br />
paddling (ow!) over and over in her mind. She smiled. This was<br />
going to be the best summer vacation ever!<br />

Chapter 10<br />
10. <strong>Get</strong>ting His Attention<br />
“But it’s not faaaair!”<br />
“What’s not fair?”<br />
“How come I’m always getting spanked? All the time! It’s no<br />
fair. You’re so mean.” Linda’s bottom lip jutted out, almost in a<br />
pout.<br />
“You’re exaggerating, honey. I’d rather say ‘frequently’, anyway.”<br />
Dave grimaced. “It wouldn’t be so much if you could just<br />
learn to quit pestering me while I’m working. You know I’ve got<br />
to finish this proposal.”<br />
“But I just want to spend time with you. It’s so boooring when<br />
you have to work. All I want is a little attention from you . . . ”<br />
She stomped her foot. “Please? You’ve already spanked me twice<br />
today. My bottom is so sore. Please don’t do it again. I’ll be sooooo<br />
good, I promise. I’ll sit right here on the couch, and won’t pester<br />
you at all. Promise. Pretty pleeease?” She sat on his lap, took his<br />
hands in hers, and put on her cutest and most woe-begone look.<br />
“Gosh, Linda, I don’t know.” She wrapped her fingers around<br />
his large hands, and looked into his face with big doe-eyes. “. . .<br />
oh, okay.” He was such a sucker for that cute face of hers! “I’ll<br />
make you a deal. If you can go the next half-hour without bugging<br />
43<br />
me, I will let you out of the spanking.”<br />
“Oh, David, thank you.” She threw her arms around him. “I<br />
love you so much, David.”<br />
“I love you too, Linny.” He took her chin in his hand, and directed<br />
her gaze into his eyes. “But I warn you . . . if you do bother<br />
me, I promise you I will blister your backside with the brush. Got<br />
that young lady?”<br />
Linda backed away. “Oh, no! You won’t have to. You’ll see!”<br />
Once he turned back to his work, she grinned a happy grin at him,<br />
pleased to have escaped punishment.<br />
It’s five minutes later. Dave is sitting at the desk he uses at home,<br />
typing at the computer. Linda is sprawled on the couch nearby,<br />
nose in a book; but the book is not holding her attention.<br />
“I’m bored. You wanna watch a movie?”<br />
“Not now, honey. Maybe later. If I’m done with this stuff.”<br />
“I’ll make popcorn.” Long pause. “Hmmmpf.” Longer pause.<br />
“I wanna get online for a minute, Jodie was going to email me. Can<br />
I check on your ’puter?”
“No honey, I’m using it. And you have your own laptop.”<br />
“But it’s so sloooow, I hate it. Yours is more fun.” Pause. “Only<br />
for a minute. Aw, come on.” Pause. “Anyway, it’s in the other<br />
room.”<br />
Linda noisily extracted a chocolate from a paper wrapper, and<br />
devoured it greedily. “Mmmmm, those are so good. Honey, get<br />
some more the next time you go out.” Long pause. She crinkled the<br />
paper into a little ball, and chucked it in his direction. It bounced<br />
of the back of his head. He stood up, and she cringed. “Ooops.”<br />
He stood up, menacingly. “You are in BIG trouble missy!”<br />
Within moments, she found herself tossed over onto her tummy<br />
over the couch, shorts and panties down at her ankles. “You really<br />
did it now, young lady. You are not going to sit comfortably<br />
tonight.”<br />
He delivered a series of powerful spanks to her round, bare bottom<br />
cheeks, already pink from being spanked twice that day. She<br />
winced and gasped at each smack. “Oooh, oooh, I’m sorry, I didn’t<br />
mean it idintmeeeeeeanit . . . ”<br />
“You think I’m stupid enough to fall for that, little girl?” Dave<br />
said, as he reddened her upturned bottom.<br />
“Owie! No, not stupid! Nuh uh.”<br />
After a minute, he stopped and said, “Now go fetch your hairbrush<br />
and get your ass back here.”<br />
“Nooooooooo! Not the haaairbrush. It’s not faaair. It hurts soooo<br />
much! You don’t have to use that, it’s not fair!”<br />
He stood her up, and applied a smack to her seat which made<br />
her shriek “Ow!” “Go git, young lady. Or you’ll wish I was using<br />
the brush.”<br />
“Ooooh,” she said as she lifted her shorts up to crotch-level and<br />
scuttled out of the room. Soon she came back, gingerly clutching<br />
a wooden hairbrush in one hand, while holding her unbuttoned<br />
shorts in the other.<br />
44<br />
She offered the hairbrush to him, saying, “Please David, don’t<br />
use it. I really really hate it. I promise I’ll be really really good. I<br />
don’t wanna get a hairbrushing. It’ll make me cry. You don’t want<br />
me to . . . to cry, do you? Please?” She bit her lip.<br />
David took the hairbrush. “Linda . . . oh boy, I’m way too easy<br />
on you.” He looked into her pleading gaze. “Here’s what. I’m<br />
going to give you a good hard hand-spanking. As long as you take<br />
it well, the hairbrush won’t come out.” He took her chin in his<br />
hands, and looked in her eyes. “Is that fair, Linda?”<br />
“Um, yes. I guess so.”<br />
He sat down, and taking her hand he guided her over his lap. He<br />
pushed her shorts out of the way. “So, tell me why you’re getting<br />
spanked, naughty girl,” he said.<br />
“Um. Because you said you need to work, and, and, uh, maybe<br />
I might have interrupted you a little bit by asking a little question<br />
or two.”<br />
SPANK! “Ooooh!” SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! “Uhhhgh. No<br />
faaair, I wasn’t ready!”<br />
“Try again, miss.”<br />
“Ugh.” Sniff. “Well, I guess I kinda pestered you a little bit too<br />
much. I guess I kinda just wanted a little attention, that’s all . . . ”<br />
“And you’re going to get a lot more attention than you bargained<br />
for, little brattikins.” He placed his palm on her warm bottom.<br />
“Remember what I warned you.” He began spanking her bare pink<br />
bottom, delivering sharp smacks to both cheeks. She squirmed and<br />
kicked her heels. “Oh, oh, ow! Oh, David, stop! Oooh, it’s not fair<br />
. . . ”<br />
“Oh my girl, I’ve been more than fair.” He smiled. “You’ve been<br />
trying my patience all day.”<br />
The brisk spanking continued. As David punished every square<br />
inch of her lower bottom cheeks, delivering firm spanks without<br />
a break. The relentless stinging heat on Linda’s bottom was all
she could be conscious of. Her hand wandered back towards her<br />
stinging behind, ineffectually trying to ward off the blows to her<br />
defenseless derriere. Even as she did it, she knew she was in for it.<br />
She quickly pulled her arm up, but it was too late.<br />
“Ooops! I didn’t mean to do that. It hardly got anywhere near<br />
my butt, David. Please, David, noooo . . . ” She knew her pleas<br />
were useless. David liked to keep his promises, and she knew he<br />
hated it when she interfered.<br />
“Oh, you’ve done it now, little girl.” He picked up the hairbrush<br />
lying beside him, and smacked it down with a meaty CRACK on<br />
her backside. Again and again he paddled her bottom.<br />
“Waaaaaugh. No faaaair, I wasn’t gonna block it.” CRACK.<br />
“Aauugh.” She kicked her feet and wriggled, arching and straining<br />
against the painful blows. He wrapped his left arm around<br />
her torso to force her in place, as he blistered her bottom, which<br />
soon turned an angry crimson. Linda bucked and strained against<br />
him, but still the swats of the hairbrush rained down on her unprotected<br />
and now very red bottom. Soon, she was a sobbing, squirming<br />
mess, and David slowed the pace of the swats, then stopped.<br />
Linda sighed, and her body went limp.<br />
David put the brush down, and spanked Linda’s punished bottom<br />
with his bare hand. As her bottom was peppered with<br />
light smacks, her body relaxed; after the hairbrushing, the handspanking<br />
felt almost like a gentle caress.<br />
David touched her shoulder, a signal she understood. She<br />
reached out with her free arm. David grabbed her wrist and held<br />
it snugly against her back. He continued to spank, covering her<br />
whole bottom with little smacks. The gentle hand-spanking made<br />
Linda feel safe and comforted.<br />
Finally, he stopped spanking.<br />
“Linda? Anything to say?”<br />
“I’m so sore!”<br />
45<br />
David smiled. “I should think so. Your bottom looks like it’s<br />
been through the works.” He rubbed her throbbing bottom. “Such<br />
a pretty picture your paddled bottom makes . . . now Linda, you<br />
know what I want to hear from you.”<br />
“Uh huh.” Her voice was raw from her all squealing. “I’m s-ssorry,<br />
honey. I promise I won’t bug you ever ever ever again.”<br />
David grinned. “Don’t promise more than you can deliver,<br />
kiddo.” He gently massaged her bottom, rubbing with playful tickles.<br />
The light, almost delicate touches to her raw backside made<br />
her tingle. She moaned.<br />
“Uh huh.” The sensual caresses made her body melt. All tenseness<br />
had vanished. Her legs slipped slightly apart. David sidled<br />
his hand in between, and brushed her sex lightly with his fingertips.<br />
“Ah! . . . oh . . . mmmmmmm . . . lovely . . . ” He continued to<br />
pet her now moist cleft, now brushing he edge of his hand along<br />
it, now gently squeezing her button between his fingers.<br />
“Oh, yes . . . soooo good . . . don’t stop!”<br />
“I’ll decide when to stop, young lady.” David smacked her bottom<br />
soundly with his left hand, while fondling her pussy with his<br />
right. She arched her body; moaning gently, she floated on waves<br />
of sensation.<br />
“It’s time I gave you what you deserve, young lady.” He turned<br />
her over in his lap, and stood up. Happy spanked girl in his arms,<br />
he carried her to the bedroom.<br />
He set her gently on her feet. Then pushed her roughly over the<br />
side of the bed. Excited by the view of her red upturned rump, he<br />
unbuttoned his pants, unleashing his hard cock. She wiggled, and<br />
moaned, “Do me, come on, do me!”<br />
He guided his cock into her waiting damp pussy. She quivered,<br />
feeling him enter. He pushed and pulled slowly but forcefully; she<br />
wriggled in time to his thrusts. His crotch rubbed against her sore
ottom each time he thrusted. Leaning over, he took her arms,<br />
and restrained them behind her back. Pinioned, she could only<br />
rock back and forth as mounting spasms of pleasure overcame her.<br />
He fucked harder and faster, until he came inside her, both lovers<br />
shuddering.<br />
She nestled snugly in his arms. “Oooh, that was . . . nice.” She<br />
giggled, then sighed.<br />
“Fucking incredible is what it was, Linny.” He pinched her bottom,<br />
eliciting a squeal. “So, miss, was that enough ‘attention’ to<br />
keep you from bratting me the rest of the evening?”<br />
“Oh, I’ll be good for a half hour or so, I’m sure . . . ” SMACK.<br />
“Eek!” SMACK. “I’m KIDDING! Owwwww . . . ”<br />

Chapter 11<br />
11. Shorty and the Wild Girl<br />
“You can’t catch me! No way. Not gonna happen.” She stuck<br />
out her tongue at him.<br />
“Shannon, get your butt over here right now, or so help me I<br />
promise you I’ll haul your ass over the couch and belt your backside<br />
till you squeal.”<br />
“Nuh-uh. Can’t make me without a fight. And I’m a fighter,<br />
Mister.” She put up her fists.<br />
“I can take you down, girl, and I will if I have to.”<br />
“Not a chance. I fight dirty.” She unclenched her fists to show<br />
off her long nails.<br />
“You are such an impossible brat.” Jack didn’t show it, but he<br />
was as close to losing his temper as he’d ever been, since Shannon<br />
moved in with him. And that was saying a lot. Because Shannon<br />
was a wild one. A hellion. The kind of girl who couldn’t do anything<br />
without turning it into a contest. The kind of girl who’d set<br />
your shoelaces on fire, just to see how you’d react. The kind of girl<br />
who’d kick and scream and scratch your eyes out before admitting<br />
you’d won.<br />
Jack loved Shannon anyway. Her insouciant smile and devilmay<br />
care attitude made sure of that. But sometimes she was way<br />
47<br />
more trouble than he cared for. Sometimes she got just a bit out of<br />
control. Sometimes she could be more than a bit selfish. Like today,<br />
when Shannon went out carousing with her girlfriends, instead of<br />
cleaning up around the house while Jack was at work, like she’d<br />
promised.<br />
Jack knew that Shannon needed someone with authority over<br />
her, someone to keep her in line. And in her more reflective moments,<br />
Shannon knew that was true. Which was why they’d both<br />
agreed that it was Jack’s prerogative to do what it took to keep her<br />
in line, forcefully and whenever he deemed it necessary. In short,<br />
at any time she pissed him off, she should expect to be hauled over<br />
his knee, shorts and panties yanked down to her ankles, bucking<br />
and squealing as her bottom was turned a bright shade of pink.<br />
In theory.<br />
Shannon knew she needed correction; in the depths of her soul,<br />
she wanted it badly. But meek submission just wasn’t in her nature.<br />
Bare her bottom, meekly drape herself over his lap, and submit to<br />
a beating? Not this girl.<br />
“What you going to do about it, shorty?” She smiled as she said<br />
it.
And there was the problem. Jack was not a large man. He<br />
topped out at 5’2”. In his shoes. Understand that this was generally<br />
not a big deal to Jack. He’d always been short, and he’d<br />
learned how to compensate by projecting confidence and authority<br />
in any situation. Most people didn’t realize he was so short<br />
until they stood right next to him.<br />
Unfortunately, Shannon had almost two inches on him. She was<br />
also in pretty good shape, and worked out regularly at the gym.<br />
Jack knew he was stronger than her, but it was a near thing. He<br />
might be able to subdue her, but probably not without risk of injury<br />
to at least one of them. And to Jack, fighting his girlfriend just<br />
seemed plain undignified.<br />
Discretion is the better part of valor, Jack knew. So he said<br />
“Okay,” and turned and left the room. Shannon made a “hmmph”<br />
sound, and figured she’d won. So she lay down on the couch, with<br />
her head resting on the armrest and her pretty bare legs bent at the<br />
knees. She started filing her nails.<br />
Away from his infuriating girl, Jack cooled down, and formulated<br />
a plan. After about ten minutes, he returned to the living<br />
room, with several useful items concealed in various places on his<br />
person.<br />
Shannon looked up at him as he entered the room. “I’m sorry,”<br />
he said simply.<br />
“Well, you should be, mister!” She grinned at him, knowing<br />
she’d won.<br />
“Yes, Shannon, I know.” He sat down on the couch by her feet.<br />
“Would you like it if I gave you a foot rub?”<br />
“Oh, yes, please!” said the greedy girl, and she plopped her<br />
bare feet on his lap. He gently massaged the soles of her feet, and<br />
she closed her eyes and fell silent, except for an occasional contented<br />
moan. He continued the massage, until she was completely<br />
blissed-out.<br />
48<br />
“Shannon.”<br />
“Hmmmmmm?”<br />
“You remember what we agreed? About me taking you in<br />
hand?”<br />
“Uh huh?”<br />
“I was just trying to fulfill my side of the agreement, you know.”<br />
“But you weren’t being fair. Part of the rules is, you have to be<br />
fair about it. And you weren’t listening to my side at all. There<br />
isn’t anything I hate more than when people don’t play fair.”<br />
‘And this is the girl who wants to fight dirty?’ Jack thought. ‘I’ll<br />
show her what fighting dirty is about.’<br />
Jack reached for something concealed in his shirt-pocket, while<br />
continuing to rub her feet with his other hand. “Shannon, I hate<br />
to break this too you, but there’s nothing about our agreement that<br />
says I have to be fair.”<br />
Click. Click. Shannon felt something metallic on her ankles. She<br />
opened her eyes, and saw that Jack had slapped cuffs around her<br />
ankles.<br />
“HEY!”<br />
Even before she had time to shout, Jack lifted up her legs, forcing<br />
her to bend at the hips, until her feet were just inches from her face.<br />
With his other hand, he grabbed at the back of her loose purple<br />
shorts. Seizing a good hunk of the waistband, he yanked down<br />
(well, up, really) forcefully; her cute little boyshort panties came<br />
along for the ride. Shorts and panties joined the cuffs at her ankles.<br />
Jack grasped the shorts tightly, and so immobilized her legs.<br />
Shannon was shocked. It took more than a few seconds for the<br />
change in her situation to sink in. Just moments before, she’d been<br />
wallowing in the satisfaction of having bested Jack, and was enjoying<br />
a wonderful foot rub. Now she was on her back, bent double<br />
at the waist, her legs tightly bound together by the cuffs and shorts<br />
and panties, her backside bare and rudely exposed (not to mention
the girlish bits between her legs). She took a few more moments to<br />
consider her situation, and decided that she felt put-upon, and so<br />
she expressed her concerns to Jack.<br />
“Whaaaat the FUUUCK??! Jaaaaack! Cut it ooout! What are you<br />
doing, you asshooole?!”<br />
“Such language, Shannon! Not the right way to speak to your<br />
lover, no sir.” With those words, Jack delivered two hard smacks<br />
to her upturned, tightly stretched bottom cheeks.<br />
“Ow. Ow! Hey, stop it! What the fuck are you doing, Jack? We<br />
agreed I was right. We agreed!”<br />
“We agreed no such thing, little miss brat, except maybe in that<br />
funny head of yours.” Jack began spanking Shannon’s taut bottom<br />
cheeks. Each smack made her wince from the sting of it. She tried<br />
to force her legs back down to hide her butt from the smacks, but<br />
with Jack leaning on her legs she couldn’t move them an inch. So<br />
she squirmed helplessly as hard stinging swats rained down on<br />
her bottom, while she screamed “Auugh! Owwiie! No, Jack, stop<br />
it! You FUCKING bastard.”<br />
“You really don’t want to make me mad, missy.” Smack, smack,<br />
smack.<br />
“Ooooh! I hate you! Yow! You said you were sorry, you fucking<br />
liar. Ooh, that smarts!”<br />
“But I am sorry, Shannon, very sorry. Sorry that I’ve let you get<br />
your way for so long. Sorry I didn’t do what it took to give you<br />
your comeuppance. But now that’s changed.” He reached down<br />
to retrieve a thick 18 inch wooden ruler he had stashed up his pant<br />
leg. “You want to fight dirty, miss? Then I’ll show you that I can<br />
fight dirtier.”<br />
“Oh yeah? You can’t–” CRAACK! “–Aaaaaaaugh!” Jack brought<br />
the ruler down hard right across her bottom, and she screamed.<br />
“Jack no please don–” CRACK! “Oooooh . . . This is SO humiliating.”<br />
CRACK! “Aaah.”<br />
49<br />
A steady pace of ruler smacks soon had Shannon squealing like a<br />
stuck pig. “Oh Jack, ow! Please, I’ll be good. Aaugh! I’m soorrreee<br />
. . . ” She’ll say anything to get me to stop, Jack thought to himself.<br />
After a few minutes, Jack put the ruler down. Looking down and<br />
his teary-eyed girlfriend, he had the feeling a fellow gets when he’s<br />
doing a job well. He couldn’t suppress a grin as he asked, “So, is<br />
this starting to make an impression on you, young lady.”<br />
“Uh, I guess so.” (Sniff.)<br />
“I hope so. I really hate having to punish you, Shannon, but you<br />
give me no choice.”<br />
“Oh yeah. I think you’re actually enjoying yourself, you beast,”<br />
she said breathlessly.<br />
Jack wouldn’t admit it to her right then, but he certainly was<br />
enjoying himself tremendously. Watching Shannon wriggle and<br />
writhe as the ruler came down on her unprotected bottom, and<br />
seeing her bottom cheeks turn a bright shade of red (with a little bit<br />
of purple mixed in), definitely made his day. And the full-on view<br />
of her pussy was doing some interesting things to him. But the job<br />
wasn’t done yet, and Jack didn’t like to leave a job half-finished.<br />
He let go of her legs. “On your feet, woman.”<br />
“Uh, I’m a bit incapacitated, mister.”<br />
“I’ll help you out.” He gently sat her up, then pulled her up<br />
to her feet. She wobbled unsteadily, then leaned into him, and<br />
wrapped her arms around his neck.<br />
“Oh, my butt is so sore.”<br />
“You only have yourself to blame, young lady.”<br />
“Um, maybe it was a little bit my fault,” she admitted.<br />
“Yep. Come over here, miss.” Taking her by the arm, he led her<br />
(waddling) to the side of the couch.<br />
“Um, Jack, what are you doing?” He pushed her down over the<br />
arm of the couch, so that her bare bottom was upturned. “Hey,<br />
come on!”
“Shannon, do you remember what I promised you?”<br />
“Uh, I dunno. A present?” She could not see, but she heard the<br />
clink of his belt buckle. “Jack! No! You spanked me already. No<br />
fair!”<br />
Jack pulled off his belt, and folded it in his hands. “I promised<br />
that if you did not submit right away to your punishment, that I<br />
would use the belt.”<br />
“But, but, Jack . . . that was before. Then I gave in, and let you<br />
punish me. Please Jack, no more?” she pleaded.<br />
“I’m sorry, Shannon,” he apologized again, “but you did not<br />
give in. And I keep my promises.”<br />
“Oooh. You’re mean. You’re evil! I hate you.” Harsh words, but<br />
Jack noted that she wasn’t swearing anymore.<br />
He rested the belt on her bottom. “You are getting twelve, young<br />
lady. You will stay in place, or you’ll get more. Got it?”<br />
“Jack, please, I promise I’ll be good . . . ”<br />
“Just say ‘Yes sir’.”<br />
“Um . . . yes sir.”<br />
And with that, Jack lifted the belt high, and landed a scorcher<br />
across her bottom. She yelped. He lifted the belt again. Eleven<br />
more times he thwacked her, as hard as he could, with the leather<br />
belt. Eleven more times she screamed. Eleven more times she<br />
bucked and wriggled. But Jack was glad to see that she did not<br />
try to move, or try to cover her behind, or do anything to avoid<br />
what was coming.<br />
It was over. Shannon was sobbing softly. Jack stroked her hair,<br />
and rubbed her bottom, and she began to regain her composure.<br />
He massaged her back, legs, not to mention her red and purple<br />
bottom, and after a while she sighed.<br />
“Learned your lesson, girl?”<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
“I think ‘shorty’ is a pretty good teacher. Don’t you agree?”<br />
50<br />
“Oh yeah. Um, nice job, big guy.” Her own little joke brought a<br />
wan smile to her face.<br />
“You can stand up, Shannon.” He helped her rise unsteadily to<br />
her feet. She embraced him. “I’m so sorry, Jack. I promise I’ll try<br />
to be good. Just, please don’t do that again, ever.” But she was<br />
smiling.<br />
“That’s really up to you, Shannon.”<br />
“Uh huh.”<br />
“But there’s one more thing I need to do right now.” Holding<br />
her arms, she guided her back to the couch. He pushed her down,<br />
lifted her legs up and around so that she was lying on the couch.<br />
Then he lifted her legs back up in the air, exposing her naughty bits<br />
once again.<br />
“Jack! Nooo! No more, pleeeease. I said I’d be good!”<br />
“Oh, you will be good,” he said with an evil grin.<br />
“Noooo. Don’t, no! . . . Oh. . . . Oh my. . . . Mmmmmmmmm.<br />
Oh, don’t stop . . . yes, oh yes oh please oh yes . . . ”
Chapter 12<br />
12. Acceptance<br />
“Pull down your pants and panties and bend over my lap! You<br />
are going to get your bottom blistered!”<br />
“Oh, please! Not on the bare! It’s so embarrassing,” she cried.<br />
“Oh, come on now. I think you know you have this coming to<br />
you. Don’t tell me you don’t think you deserve this.”<br />
“No, sir,” she replied meekly. “I know I deserve to be punished<br />
for what I did. But please sir, can I keep my panties on? It’s so<br />
embarrassing. I’m not a little kid anymore.” She stamped her feet<br />
petulantly.<br />
“No! You know the rules. Spankings in this house are always<br />
given bare bottom. As long as you live under my roof, you can<br />
expect to be spanked whenever I feel it is needed. I expect you to<br />
submit to punishment without complaint. Now get your backside<br />
over my knees this instant, or you’ll find out how a strap across<br />
your backside feels.”<br />
She sighed. She knew that there was no getting out of it. Even<br />
though she was almost eighteen years old and had just begun her<br />
senior year in high-school only a few weeks before, her daddy punished<br />
her the same way he had when she was eight. She slowly<br />
unbuttoned her jeans and then with as little wriggling as she could<br />
51<br />
manage, slid them down over her hips. She carefully bent over<br />
and pushed them all the way down to her ankles, for she knew<br />
that was where her father expected them to be. As she did this she<br />
turned demurely to the side, so that her father would not be looking<br />
directly at her backside. It was, she knew, a pointless attempt<br />
to protect her modesty, but she could not help herself.<br />
She paused for a moment to steel her nerve. Then she went to her<br />
father’s side and gently lowered herself across her father’s lap. Her<br />
father murmured softly, “Forward a bit dear,” and she obliged him,<br />
nudging her slim body ahead a few inches. Her bare bottom was<br />
now perfectly positioned under his right hand, ready to receive the<br />
full force of the punishment that would be delivered to it.<br />
It was a punishment that she knew full well that she deserved.<br />
Though she had protested a little bit, she had done so only to<br />
protect her wounded pride. She had had long ago realized that,<br />
though she hated to be spanked, she could accept the fact that her<br />
father used spanking as punishment. Indeed, it seemed to her that<br />
being spanked was not really any worse than other punishments,<br />
like being grounded or losing privileges. In any case, her father<br />
only reserved spanking for the most serious offenses, and was al-
ways fair about it. He never spanked in the heat of anger, and always<br />
gave her a chance to present her case. And she was a young<br />
woman with conscience, who knew that there were times when<br />
you deserved to be punished, and that you should take what was<br />
coming to you.<br />
But it was hard to be so accepting when you were face down over<br />
daddy’s knee, half naked and about to be spanked. She ducked<br />
her head and peered back through the chair-legs at the bunched<br />
up pants hiding her feet. She blushed involuntarily thinking of the<br />
view her father must have. Of course, he had often seen her naked,<br />
and she was not usually shy about her own body. But an imminent<br />
spanking always made her nervous. She shivered.<br />
He must have felt her nervousness. “Are you ready, dear? Are<br />
you okay.” She was jolted out of reverie. “Um, yes, daddy.” Her<br />
father’s concern made her feel a bit guilty of the way she had tried<br />
to resist earlier, weakly though she had done so. She peered up<br />
over her shoulder and looked at her dad out of the corner of her<br />
eye. “Daddy, I really do realize that what I did was wrong, and<br />
feel very ashamed of myself right now. I’m so sorry . . . I hope you<br />
don’t hate me for it!” She sobbed a little.<br />
“Oh, princess! You know I love you more than anything. I’m<br />
upset, at you, you know, but that doesn’t change the fact that you<br />
are my darling little girl.”<br />
She sobbed some more, though she was glad that her father<br />
could still so easily say he loved her, despite how angry he must<br />
be.<br />
Her father was touched, and said, “We don’t have to do this right<br />
now if you’re not up to it.”<br />
Her heart leaped for a brief moment at the thought that she<br />
might delay her punishment, or perhaps avoid it entirely. She<br />
could probably make it happen, if she really turned the tears on<br />
and put on a good show; though he was strict, he had a soft heart.<br />
52<br />
But she knew she would not do this. It would be wrong to trick<br />
her father that way, and her conscience would never let her forget<br />
that she still needed to pay for what she had done.<br />
She tried to get her sobbing under control, and then turned again<br />
over her shoulder, and said, “Daddy, lets get this over with. We<br />
both know I’ve got a hard spanking coming to me, so don’t feel<br />
sorry for me.” She swallowed. “And don’t go easy on me. You<br />
know I can take a severe punishment, and I really want you to see<br />
how sorry I am.” She tried to sound resolute, though she could not<br />
quite prevent her voice from quavering. “I’m ready.”<br />
He was touched by her contrition, but could not think of anything<br />
else to say. So he just got on with it.<br />
“Very well, then. I am going to give you a sound spanking, as<br />
hard and as long as you have ever been spanked before. It is going<br />
to hurt. Before I begin, I’d like you to take a moment to reflect on<br />
what you did to deserve this.” The were a few seconds of silence,<br />
and she really did take a moment to remind herself what she had<br />
done.<br />
“Okay. As you know, you are not to get out of position. Failure<br />
to remain in place means the strap. <strong>Get</strong> ready.”<br />
A few more seconds of silence, and then he brought his palm<br />
down sharply on her right buttock. He lifted it, and a couple of<br />
seconds later delivered a sharp spank to her left buttock. He continued<br />
to smack her bottom at a slow and steady pace, alternating<br />
cheeks. She found it easy to endure at first, but she knew that feeling<br />
would not last for long. After the first dozen, the force of the<br />
spanks increased to a good whallop, and though the pace remained<br />
the same, the effect of the repeated smacks began to build up, and<br />
she began to whince and softly moan at each stroke.<br />
Her legs began to involuntarily jerk after each spank; she tried<br />
hard to keep her legs under control, for she knew that if she started<br />
kicking her feet back far enough to interfere with the spanks, dad
would see it as “resisting”. It had only happened a couple of times<br />
that she had “resisted” enough to get dad mad, but they were<br />
memorable occasions. Each time he had stood her up, bent her<br />
over the chair, taken off his belt, and delivered a couple dozen<br />
strokes to her bottom and the backs of her thighs, as fast and as<br />
hard as she could. Then back over his lap for the rest of the spanking!<br />

Chapter 13<br />
13. A Switching in the Wilderness<br />
“Watch out behind!”<br />
I looked back, to find the source of that exclamation on this beautifully<br />
sunny and cool morning. There was the older couple we<br />
had met at the campsite that morning. Though we’d started out<br />
on the path while they were still having breakfast, they’d already<br />
caught up to us. Both of them were quite fit, and seemed to be experienced<br />
hikers. Jim, the man, had slightly greying hair; Becky, a<br />
perky brunette, held his hand as they walked along the path, under<br />
shady trees. We had been the only four people at the campsite;<br />
it seemed we had the mountain all to ourselves.<br />
I put my arm around Sonya, and we squeezed to the side of the<br />
trail, allowing Jim and Becky to get past us. “You guys headed all<br />
the way to the top?” I asked.<br />
“Yup. It’s a good view up there, we’ve done it several times<br />
before,” Jim answered, stopping a little ahead of us. “Think we’ll<br />
see you up there later?”<br />
“Sure! I bet we’ll get there first,” Sonya interjected before I could<br />
speak. Of course, the brat would have to contradict me. I shot her<br />
a warning glance.<br />
“Um, we probably won’t make it up there, Jim. Neither of us is<br />
55<br />
in shape for it,” I replied. “We’ll see you later, I bet.”<br />
“Okay. Have fun,” said Jim. “Don’t overtax yourselves,” Becky<br />
reminded us. They turned and paced quickly along the path, and<br />
soon were out of sight. They would probably be up to the top, and<br />
on their way back, before we even reached our stopping point.<br />
I turned to Sonya. “You’re skating on thin ice, missy.”<br />
“What?” She batted her eyelashes at me. “I was just being<br />
funny.”<br />
“Okay, but you know we need to take it easy, right?”<br />
“Um, yes sir.”<br />
“Good girl. Let’s get moving.” Hand-in-hand, we continued up<br />
the path.<br />
Sonya sat on a boulder which lay along side the path, and<br />
brushed the sweat from her forehead. I sat next to her, pulled out<br />
my water bottle, and took a hearty drink.<br />
“Sonya, don’t forget to drink!”<br />
“Okay, okay.” She drank from her bottle, as I looked out over<br />
the valley below. Seeing the beautiful expanse of leafy trees, trem-
ling slightly in cool breezes, made me feel calmed and relaxed.<br />
The boulder we were sitting on was shaded by some shrubbery,<br />
of a type I didn’t recognize, whose long and slender stems rustled<br />
softly.<br />
It was almost two hours after we’d met Jim and Becky. We had<br />
ascended several hundred feet, I estimated. It certainly felt like it;<br />
it was time for a rest. We still had a way to go to reach the stopping<br />
point we had agreed on that morning: a large rocky outcrop along<br />
the path, made of stunning red sandstone. Above and behind us<br />
was a steep slope, almost a cliff face, mostly rock. About thirty feet<br />
up was the next segment of the path, which ran under the pink and<br />
red stone that marked our turnaround point. It seemed so close,<br />
but I knew that we had another mile or so to go along the path to<br />
get there.<br />
I saw Sonya looking up at the slope above us. “I bet we could<br />
climb up there no problem,” she said. “It’s not too steep.”<br />
“Um, I’m not so sure,” I replied. I took a closer look. “Well, it<br />
looks like a 70% slope. That’s enough to be very tiring to climb,<br />
especially in our condition. And I see a lot of places where the<br />
rock is completely smooth. I don’t think there’s anyway to climb<br />
around them.”<br />
“Well, maybe it’s too hard for you, but I bet I could do it.”<br />
“Sonya, no. Neither of us is climbing here. It’s more difficult<br />
than it looks, and we could get stuck up there with no easy way to<br />
get back down.”<br />
“But–”<br />
“NO, Sonya! You are not climbing up there. It is not safe.” I<br />
looked in her eyes. “No climbing; do you understand?”<br />
“Um, okay.”<br />
I yawned. I was starting to feel a little drowsy. “Let’s have a little<br />
nap before we go on, okay?” I leaned back against the boulder.<br />
“Okay.” Sonya settled down beside me, and I cradled her head<br />
56<br />
in my arms.<br />
I jumped with a start. Sonya was not beside me. How long had<br />
I been sleeping? Where was she?<br />
Her backpack was not lying where she had left it. I looked up<br />
and down the path, but saw nothing.<br />
Then I heard an “Oh!” from above my head. I looked up. There<br />
she was, clinging to the slope, her feet about twelve feet above the<br />
level of the path.<br />
“Sonya, what are you doing?” I shouted.<br />
“I got bored while you were sleeping, so I decided to try the<br />
shortcut.” I saw her scanning the slope above her for another handhold.<br />
“Sonya, there’s no way to get all the way up. You need to come<br />
down, now!”<br />
“Come on! Let me try. Please? How far up am I?”<br />
She looked back down over her shoulder, and I heard a quiet<br />
“ugh” escape her lips. Clearly, this was the first time she’d looked<br />
down, and what she saw gave her quite a fright.<br />
“Um, maybe I better get down now,” she said weakly.<br />
I was really scared now. Visions ran through my brain, of Sonya<br />
freaking out and doing something dumb, or simply passing out<br />
and falling. “Hang on! Don’t worry, if you got up, you can get<br />
back down the way you came.”<br />
“I don’t know what to do! Help me! I’m scared to move!” The<br />
tone of the voice showed she was frantic.<br />
“Be calm, Sonya. It’s okay, we can figure this out together.”<br />
It seemed to take forever. I would guide her to the next handhold<br />
or step, and, after much hesitation, she followed my directions.<br />
Working this way, she was able to retrace her steps back down the<br />
steep, rocky slope, one small move at a time. When she was almost
to the bottom, I grabbed her in my arms, and set her down on my<br />
feet. She threw her arms about me and squeezed tight, as though<br />
she were still high above the ground and hanging on for dear life.<br />
After giving her a chance to catch her breath, I got her to sit down<br />
on the boulder, and I sat next to her. Sonya was shaking as an after<br />
effect of her big fright, and I gave her a chance to calm down.<br />
“Thank you,” she said, after a while. She was still clutching me.<br />
“You are most welcome,” I replied. Then I said, “Sonya, what do<br />
you have to say for yourself?”<br />
“Um. Well. I guess that was a really stupid thing to do, wasn’t<br />
it?”<br />
“Yes, it certainly was. And you knew it was before you started,<br />
didn’t you. I seem to remember we discussed it.”<br />
“Um, yes. We did.” I said nothing, and waited until her nervous<br />
chatter filled the silence. “I guess I got bored, and couldn’t help<br />
myself. I guess maybe I was trying to show off.”<br />
“Well, whatever the reason, what you tried was very reckless<br />
and dangerous. Climbing a difficult slope without having a plan,<br />
and without having a partner to back you up. I’m very disappointed,<br />
Sonya,” I said.<br />
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I know I shouldn’t have done it. I promise I’ll<br />
never do anything like that again!”<br />
“But what is worse, we had already discussed it, and I forbade<br />
you to try to climb. I’m very angry that you disobeyed me, especially<br />
to do something so dangerous.”<br />
I looked at her, and she looked down at her shoes, she was so<br />
ashamed. “I’m in big trouble, aren’t I?”<br />
“You most certainly are.” I stood up, and wandered over to the<br />
stand of shrubbery. She stood up to follow me.<br />
“I guess I’m going to get it good when we get home.” Unconsciously,<br />
she moved her hands to cover her bottom. “I suppose I<br />
have it coming.” I was carefully inspecting the shrubs, picking out<br />
57<br />
individual stems one by one.<br />
“Um, what are you doing?” she asked. I had found a decent<br />
stem, a little over two feet in length, about the width of Sonya’s<br />
pinky, with no branches or leaves coming off it. I pulled my pocketknife<br />
out of my pouch, and bent over to to slice at the stem near the<br />
root.<br />
“Hey, what are you doing?” she said, with rising panic.<br />
“What I’m doing, Sonya, is cutting a switch.” I finished cutting<br />
the little shrub away from its roots, and I turned my attention to<br />
slicing away the leafy part at top.<br />
“Noooo! Please, not that! Not here!”<br />
“I’m sorry, Sonya, but you need to be taken care of right now.”<br />
I finished removing the top of the shrubbery. What I held in my<br />
hand was a slender but fearsome instrument of punishment. I gave<br />
a swish, and was satisfied with the whooshing sound I heard. The<br />
switch was light, but very whippy; it would deliver a painful sting.<br />
“No, please punish me when we get home! Not here, please!<br />
What if somebody sees? I couldn’t stand it if somebody saw.”<br />
I extracted a beach towel from my backpack. I unfolded it and<br />
draped it over the boulder. “No, Sonya. You need to be punished<br />
here and now, at the scene of the crime. And the only people<br />
around are Jim and Becky, and I’m sure that right now they are<br />
way up at the peak of this mountain. Now take you pants and<br />
panties down, and lie across the towel.”<br />
“Oh! Do I have to?”<br />
“You are going to have your bare bottom spanked with a freshcut<br />
switch, miss. I do not want to hear any more argument; the<br />
sooner we start, the sooner it will be over with.”<br />
“Oooh!” But she did as I asked, unbuttoning her khakis sliding<br />
them past her hips; the light-weight fabric fell in a little pile<br />
around her hiking boots. With a little sigh, she did the same with<br />
her panties. With a very downcast look, she waddled over and
ent over the boulder, resting her upper body on the towel, and<br />
exposing her bare behind to the ministrations of the switch. Her<br />
face was turned to her left; she could see me (and the switch) out<br />
of the corner of her eye. I could see she was trying to see up the<br />
path, to tell if anyone was coming.<br />
A soft breeze suddenly blew up, and Sonya shivered.<br />
I lifted the switch. “Ready?”<br />
“Yes, sir.” She trembled a little with anticipation.<br />
Whooosh! CRACK!<br />
“Oooooh!” she screamed involuntarily. She had never felt a<br />
switch before, and hadn’t realized how much it would sting.<br />
Whooosh! CRACK!<br />
“Oh!”<br />
Again and again, the switch kissed her upturn bottom, with a<br />
sharp CRACK! Each time, she made a little gasp, as the stinging<br />
stroke penetrated her consciousness. Again and again, I whipped<br />
the switch across her bottom, making sure that every part got attention.<br />
I watched as her bottom turned a bright pink, with the<br />
slight hint of horizontal lines marking the punishing strokes of the<br />
switch.<br />
Soon, she was flexing her legs on every stroke, or arching her<br />
back, trying to do anything to distract herself from the pain. But<br />
she gamely stayed in position, accepting her punishment.<br />
When the green wood of the switch began to split, I stopped.<br />
I bent down and looked directly into Sonya’s face. “Have you<br />
learned your lesson, miss?”<br />
“Yes, sir,” she said tearfully. “I promise, I will never do anything<br />
dangerous like that again. And when it is a matter of safety,<br />
I promise to be obedient.”<br />
“Okay, Sonya. That’s what I wanted to hear. You may stand up<br />
now.” Shakily, with the aid of my outstretched hand, she stood up.<br />
I took her in my arms and hugged her. “It’s all over now,” I said.<br />
58<br />
“Thank you,” she replied.<br />
We embraced for a while, until, suddenly, I heard the sound of<br />
someone coming down the path. Sonya gasped “Oh!”. I snatched<br />
up the beach towel and quickly wrapped it around her waist, tucking<br />
it in like a bath towel.<br />
Jim emerged around the bend in the path, followed right behind<br />
by Becky. Stupidly, I was still holding the switch in my hand. That,<br />
and Sonya’s pants and underwear still visibly puddled around her<br />
ankles, meant there was no way to hide what had happened – assuming<br />
they hadn’t heard anything, which seemed unlikely.<br />
Becky rushed up to Sonya’s side, and took her hands in hers. I<br />
could not hear their whispered conversation. Jim ambled over to<br />
my side.<br />
“So, what exactly has been going on here?” Jim asked.<br />
“Um,” I responded. “Well. Sonya tried to climb the rock face up<br />
there, without any help, even after I told her it was dangerous. So,<br />
um, . . . ”<br />
“I see. So you gave her a good old-fashioned switching?”<br />
“Um, that’s right,” I said.<br />
“Well, that’s all right then,” he replied. I began to feel relieved –<br />
it didn’t seem we were going to get in trouble over this.<br />
“It’s all right?” I asked.<br />
“Yup. Between you and me, if Becky here pulled a stunt like that,<br />
she knows she’d get this belt across her backside.” He winked conspiratorially<br />
and pointed to the thick leather belt he was wearing.<br />
Jim spoke this last quite loudly, and Becky glanced at him; I could<br />
see she was blushing.<br />
After a while, Jim and Becky headed off down the path a bit,<br />
giving Sonya a chance to get her pants back on in private. Then we<br />
gathered our things, and went down to join them. All four of us<br />
walked back to camp together. That evening Sonya and I enjoyed<br />
the company of our new friends around the campfire.
Chapter 14<br />
14. Megan’s Choice<br />
14.1 Part 1.<br />
Megan was so frustrated she could just about spit. Sometimes her<br />
Uncle Jack could be the most stubborn man in existence. He also<br />
happened to be her boss, and right now he was demanding a detailed<br />
explanation of every single change she’d made to the inventory<br />
software. It didn’t help that he didn’t have much of a clue<br />
how it worked in the first place. Things were getting pretty heated<br />
between them.<br />
“Uncle Jack, you won’t notice any difference once you actually<br />
use it, except that it’s ten times faster. It’ll be fine. It’s the right way<br />
to set things up. Ugh. I wish you’d stop being such a stubborn old<br />
man.”<br />
“Young lady, I have had it up to here with your sass.”<br />
“Deal with it. Being the ignorant domineering asshole you are,<br />
you’re probably not too used to taking advice from a woman. But<br />
believe it, I’ve got my own opinions, and I’m not afraid to say<br />
them. You don’t like it? Too bad, jackass! So don’t give me this<br />
shit about sass.”<br />
“Wow, kid, you don’t have a clue when to keep it zipped, do<br />
59<br />
you?”<br />
“See! Sorry guy, I won’t shut up. Don’t care if you can’t deal<br />
with it.”<br />
“Oh, bull. I have got no problem hearing a woman’s opinions.<br />
Girl, you don’t have ‘opinions’. You have rude insults, moronic<br />
sarcasm and obscenities, not to mention no respect. I expect better,<br />
even from an immature child like you.”<br />
“What? Immature WHAT?! Let me tell you, mister, I am an<br />
adult woman. I do half the work around here. You’d be sunk without<br />
me. I don’t have to take that kind of shit from you. Jerk ass.<br />
Fuckwit.” She crossed her arms across her chest, as though daring<br />
him to challenge her.<br />
“Uh oh. I went too far there,” she thought to herself. She decided<br />
to put her best face on it, and glared at him defiantly.<br />
Jack shook his head. “I can’t believe I’m arguing with a nineteen<br />
year old brat with a potty mouth, who needs a sharp lesson in<br />
manners.” He was talking more to himself, even though she was<br />
standing there right in front of him. “Even if she is nineteen, she’s<br />
really just a kid, having a whopper of a temper tantrum.”<br />
“That’s insulting,” she said. “And mister, I’m standing right
here.”<br />
“It’s true. You like to pretend that just because you got a high<br />
school diploma, a car, and a salary, you’re some kind of big deal.<br />
But I think we both know you’re really just a spoiled little brat who<br />
could really use a trip over my knee.”<br />
“What?! That’s absolutely ridiculous,” she stammered weakly.<br />
“And I’m too old for that, uh, kind of thing.” She felt stupid even<br />
as she said it. Like it’s even a question, she thought to herself.<br />
“Whatever you say, kid. We’ll continue this little chat tonight.<br />
Now scram, I’ve got work to do.”<br />
Still fuming, Megan left the office Uncle Jack where ran his contracting<br />
and construction supply business, before her mouth found<br />
something else objectionable to say. Feeling ill at ease, and wanting<br />
to put the confrontation with Jack out of her mind for a while, she<br />
met up with a friend for burgers; then they went to a movie, and<br />
then stopped for a coffee at the cafe before heading their separate<br />
ways.<br />
Late that evening, she drove back to her apartment. Not really<br />
an apartment, actually; but it was a room of her own. That she<br />
rented from Uncle Jack. In his house. The “rent” came right off<br />
the top of the salary he paid her for doing clerical and computer<br />
stuff at his office. Still, she was an adult now, with a place of her<br />
own a real job. Kind of. Anyway, nothing like some of her friends,<br />
who were still living with their parents. Her friend Michelle, who<br />
had graduated high school the same year as Megan, actually got<br />
an allowance for doing chores around the house, still had a curfew,<br />
and needed permission to go on a date! Megan could come and go<br />
as she liked, stay up as late as she liked, hang out with whoever she<br />
liked. Uncle Jack only asked that she clean up after herself, which<br />
was no big deal.<br />
60<br />
Megan was feeling unsettled. Her thoughts kept coming back to<br />
that last thing Jack had said, before he sent her away. That thing<br />
about that childish kind of punishment. “I can’t believe he said<br />
that. That is soooo inappropriate, right? He couldn’t have really<br />
meant it, right?”<br />
(Megan had a habit of talking out loud to herself when she<br />
thought no one could hear. Her friends and family thought it was<br />
an endearing quirk of her personality, though of course she was<br />
incredibly embarrassed those times she got caught having a conversation<br />
with herself. Or just part of a conversation with herself,<br />
which could be even weirder.)<br />
The implications of Jack’s words ‘could really use a trip over<br />
my knee’ conjured up ancient memories in her. The barely-hidden<br />
threat they contained gave her butterflies in her tummy.<br />
“I mean, children can get spanked for stuff, sure. But that’s for<br />
little kids.”<br />
Megan knew all about little kid spankings. In the house she grew<br />
up in, it didn’t take much for mom or dad to put a misbehaving<br />
child over the lap for a spanking. Both her little brother and big<br />
sister got it some, but she got more than the both of them put together.<br />
“And that’s because I always used to mouth off so much,”<br />
she reminded herself.<br />
Sometimes there would just be a few swats over the seat of the<br />
pants. Megan had witnessed her siblings getting quite a few of<br />
those, and of course earned a bunch of her own. But when someone<br />
really got in trouble (“that was usually me”), they were scolded<br />
and sent to their room; though sometimes they had to be dragged<br />
kicking and screaming there (“I did grow out of that eventually”).<br />
Often mom would have cause to spank her (“I’m always being<br />
snippy with her. Used to be, I mean. I don’t do that anymore.<br />
Mostly.”) Still more than a little angry, mom would lead her to<br />
her bedroom by the wrist, telling her how ‘disappointed’ she was
(“ugh, I hate that part”). Once in Megan’s bedroom, she would<br />
take Megan’s pants and panties down, put her over her lap, and<br />
hold her firmly while she applied about a dozen sharp smacks to<br />
her bare behind. (“It wasn’t a lot, but those really sting!”) Her<br />
mom had to use her muscle to keep the bare-bottomed girl in<br />
place; Megan always squirmed like a toad when she got spanked<br />
by mom. She was deadly afraid that her friends would find out the<br />
truth about why her family gave her the nickname “wiggleworm”.<br />
Afterwards, red bottomed and tearful, she’d stand up, pull her<br />
pants up, and apologize to her mother. Then she’d get to sit on<br />
mom’s lap and get a big hug, and it was all over.<br />
Less often, she got a formal spanking from dad. She had to really<br />
screw up to earn that. He would send to her room to wait for<br />
her punishment. For a kid, sitting in her room for an hour or two<br />
waiting for her father to come and spank her seemed absolutely<br />
unbearable. When he finally came she’d almost feel relieved, until<br />
she saw the implement he was carrying. Sometimes it was a ping<br />
pong paddle. When she got older, it was usually it was a hard<br />
wooden hairbrush of her mother’s. “That was the worst! I hated<br />
that thing.” To this day, the sight of someone holding a wooden<br />
hairbrush made her feel dizzy.<br />
Dad was usually pretty calm when he showed up, but she could<br />
always tell how let down he was. He would reprimand her in a<br />
level voice that still let her know how disappointed he was, until<br />
she was feeling pretty low. (She really hated disappointing her father.)<br />
Then he’d pull down her pants and panties, and she’d have<br />
to climb over her daddy’s lap. The spanks would come slow and<br />
hard. She tried not to squirm too much, though it was hard. Dad<br />
did not appreciate squirming, and anyway he held her down securely<br />
with his strong left arm.<br />
The paddling would go on for ever, until she was bawling like a<br />
baby. Pants back up, she’d be escorted out to the family room, and<br />
61<br />
made to give an apology to everyone there. Then she’d run back to<br />
her room, get her pants off again, and massage her aching bottom.<br />
The last time she ever got spanked, it was a little different. She<br />
was twelve years old. She and some friends had been caught with<br />
a joint that someone had got from an older sibling. There’d been<br />
too much giggling, coughing and wheezing for any of them to get<br />
much of an effect, but of course they were all in big trouble. Megan<br />
figured all of the other kids were too old to get spanked. When<br />
her dad finally came to her room, she was able to imagine for one<br />
brief moment that she was also too old for spanking; he was not<br />
holding any kind of implement at all. The moment ended when<br />
he removed his belt. Naked from the waist down, she bent over<br />
the end of her bed, and her dad belted her bottom until she was<br />
sobbing.<br />
“That was the last time. Teenagers are just too old for that.”<br />
But when she was still a teenager, she had not been so sure. Her<br />
dad would threaten her with a spanking from time to time, saying<br />
things like, “Keep that up if you want a blistered behind” if she<br />
was doing something he didn’t like. Though she was smart, she<br />
found school pretty boring most of the time. Her teachers liked to<br />
send home reports saying she wasn’t “living up to her potential”,<br />
and her grades showed it. Her dad would tell her, “You have a<br />
choice, Megan. Keep a B average, or have a meeting with the belt.”<br />
She barely squeaked by with adequate grades, so she didn’t have<br />
to meet his belt!<br />
Of course, the favorite was “Your big mouth is going to make<br />
your bare backside sorry,” when she got snippy or cursed, which<br />
was often. Dad’s threats made her feel childish; if someone else<br />
was in earshot, she always felt terribly embarrassed. That’s probably<br />
why the threats usually curbed her behavior, even though he<br />
didn’t seem willing to back them up. Except for her mouth, she<br />
was as well-behaved you could hope for from a teenager, and she
never got into huge trouble.<br />
“Well, except for the party incident.” Drinking alcohol was<br />
against the rules, and going to a house party where there were a<br />
bunch of older college kids she didn’t really know was worse. But<br />
the worst was that the girl she came with got wasted, went off in<br />
some strange guy’s car, and ended up in an accident and the hospital.<br />
Megan wasn’t exactly responsible for all that. She wasn’t blameless<br />
either. She should have made sure her friend got home safely.<br />
“I really messed up that time.”<br />
She could barely look at her dad when he came to pick her up.<br />
When they got home late that night, he sent her straight to her<br />
room. She got into her pajamas and sat on her bed, feeling sure she<br />
was in for the worst spanking of her life. “And I deserved one.”<br />
When her dad finally walked in the room, she thought about removing<br />
her pajama bottoms and presenting herself for a belting<br />
without being asked. But he only scolded her, and never brought<br />
up spanking. “I wonder what would have happened if I’d done<br />
that. Maybe I’d have gotten spanked after all.” Or maybe not. She<br />
imagined her dad watching mystified as his almost-grown daughter<br />
bending over for a spanking, and then him saying “Sweetie,<br />
don’t you think you’re a bit old for that?”<br />
“That would have been so funny,” she mused. ”Well, sort of<br />
funny. Anyway, I guess he decided that I at seventeen I was too<br />
old for for that sort of thing.<br />
”Anyway, talking about that stuff now is silly. Dad would blow<br />
a fuse if Jack tried anything like that.<br />
“Still, I guess I’m kinda in trouble. I really hope Jack isn’t too<br />
mad.” The fact was she liked working for her uncle. Though he<br />
could be a hardass sometimes, he did give her a lot of responsibility.<br />
And she loved being away from home, and sort-of living on<br />
her own.<br />
62<br />
“I was a real jerk to Jack today. He’s right, I don’t know when to<br />
shut it. I’d be pissed off too, if someone talked to me like that. Shit.<br />
I got to make it up somehow.”<br />
She resolved to give jack a real good heartfelt apology when she<br />
got home. “That’s the adult thing to do. I’ll swallow my pride,<br />
own up to what I did wrong, and promise to be a good obedient<br />
employee from now on. Maybe I’ll say he should dock my pay, or<br />
something. That would show I mean it. He knows I’m saving up<br />
for college, so he probably won’t actually do it. Anyway, when he<br />
sees how grown up I’m being about it, he has to forgive me, and<br />
everything will be okay again.”<br />
She took a deep breath. “Jack was just mad. It’s just a thing he<br />
says cause he’s angry. There’s nothing to worry about.”<br />
When she got back to the house, she heard the tv in the basement.<br />
Jack must be home. She kicked off her sandals by the front<br />
door, then snuck up to her room, which had once been her cousin<br />
Becky’s. Becky and her other cousin Emily had long since moved<br />
out on her own; her aunt had passed away ten years ago, and Jack<br />
had never remarried.<br />
“I need a minute to calm my nerves before I go talk to him,” she<br />
told herself, when she got up to the room and turned the light on.<br />
She had to blink a few times before she could figure out what she<br />
saw. Her suitcase was sitting on the top of the bed, opened. Empty,<br />
but Megan figured out the implication. “Oh, crap! I didn’t mean<br />
for things to go this way. I don’t want to have to go back home!”<br />
Her other bags were in a pile on the floor. She sat on the bed, tears<br />
welling up in her eyes, so it was another minute before she noticed<br />
it.<br />
Lying innocently on the bedside table was a hairbrush, made of<br />
dark wood.
Megan shivered.<br />
She picked up the brush. Under it was a handwritten note:<br />
Megan.<br />
You have a choice to make.<br />
Jack.<br />
Megan felt the world spin around her. This couldn’t be happening,<br />
could it?<br />
14.2 Part 2.<br />
“Oh my god, he can’t really mean what I think he does, can he? It’s<br />
not possible.”<br />
Megan sat on the bed in her room in her uncle’s house, and<br />
reread the note from Uncle Jack she’d found underneath the old<br />
hairbrush that was sitting on the bedside table. It still read, “You<br />
have a choice to make.”<br />
“Oh shit,” she said out loud to the room, “he is such an oldfashioned<br />
bastard, he just might mean it.” She wrapped her arms<br />
about herself, shaking. “It’s not going to happen. No way am I<br />
going to put up with that. I guess I deserve something, but not<br />
that. I’m not a kid anymore,” she sobbed.<br />
She grabbed a tissue, and wiped her eyes. “I don’t want to go<br />
back home,” she sighed. “What am I going to do?”<br />
The knock on the bedroom door startled her. “What! Oh, . . . uh,<br />
you can come in, I guess.” Quickly, she blew her nose in the tissue;<br />
she didn’t want her uncle to see her with a nose full of snot.<br />
The door opened. There was Uncle Jack. Jack was easy to read,<br />
and Megan could tell from one look at Jack that he had his mind<br />
63<br />
made up, and she knew when that happened there was no changing<br />
it. Still, she had to try somehow, because the alternatives were<br />
chilling.<br />
“Hey, what’s up Uncle Jack?” She smiled wanly at him.<br />
He crossed his arms. “You found my note.” A statement, not a<br />
question.<br />
She gave a sniffle. “But Uncle Jaaaack, I don’t waant to have to<br />
go back home.” She didn’t mean for it to come out like a whine,<br />
but she just couldn’t help it. “I like it here. I like working for you. I<br />
know I’ve been a real jerk to you, and I’m reeeeally sorry about it.<br />
I promise I’ll do better. I just wanna chance to make it up to you,<br />
Jack. Please let me stay, pleeeease!”<br />
Jack looked grim. “Kid, things just can’t stay the same here. I’m<br />
not going to work with someone who hasn’t learned common courtesy,<br />
even if she is my brother’s daughter. I will most certainly not<br />
let my employee, or my niece, speak to me using language fit only<br />
for a convict. If you don’t like it, go back to your parents and do<br />
some more growing up.”<br />
“But Uncle Jack, I can change! Come on, can’t you give me<br />
another chance? Please pretty please?” She used her very best<br />
wheedling voice, which occasionally worked on her father.<br />
“I offered you a choice, Megan.”<br />
She played dumb. “I don’t know what choice you’re talking<br />
about. You just want to get rid of me.” She pouted.<br />
“I know for a fact you are no stranger to that,” he said, looking<br />
significantly at the hairbrush that was still sitting in her lap.<br />
“I really don’t know what you mean.” She blushed even as she<br />
said it.<br />
Jack sat down at the other end of the bed. “I know how Mike<br />
disciplines his kids. It’s the same way I deal with my daughters,<br />
actually.”<br />
“But, but, that hasn’t happened since I was a little kid,” she
gasped out.<br />
“Not that little. And since he stopped, I’ve told Mike more than<br />
once that his youngest teenaged daughter could use a trip to the<br />
woodshed. Guess what? He agrees with me. But he couldn’t bring<br />
himself to do it, he says. Didn’t want to damage your precious selfesteem<br />
or something. I love the little kid, but my brother’s always<br />
been a bit soft. A bit too tender-hearted when it comes to his kids,<br />
if you ask me.”<br />
“Dad is not soft! Don’t you go calling my daddy soft.” She<br />
smiled at the idea of her dad as meek and mild, and Jack smiled<br />
like he knew it was absurd. “He knows how to dish it out, you<br />
better believe it,” she said. “He just figured I outgrew it, is all.”<br />
“Don’t be so sure. That time your friend got in the accident, he<br />
says he almost gave you the belt. I still don’t know why he held<br />
back.”<br />
“Oh, yeah, really? Wow. I didn’t know that. Huh. Yeah . . . I<br />
guess I don’t know why either,” she trailed off.<br />
There was mutual silence for a minute. Then Jack said, “Kid, you<br />
do good work. I’m sure changes you’ve made with the inventory<br />
software are going to improve things, once we get all the kinks<br />
are worked out. Just because I get annoyed with things changing<br />
doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate that it’s needed. I’d really like to<br />
keep you on, let you get some real world experience while you<br />
save up for school. And it’s nice to have someone else in the house<br />
again.”<br />
He sighed. “But I’ve got along for 20-odd years without office<br />
help, and I can get along again. Megan, either we say goodbye, or<br />
we play by my rules from now on. I won’t insult you by telling you<br />
what those rules are; you’re a smart little cookie, you can figure it<br />
out.”<br />
Jack stood up. “Make up your mind soon. You know where to<br />
find me.” And he was gone from the room.<br />
64<br />
Megan sat up on the bed. She picked up the hairbrush and traced<br />
out the grain of the wood with her fingertips. “I bet Becky and<br />
Emily must have got paddled with this. Maybe I should call them<br />
and ask them how hard Jack spanks. Ha ha!” she laughed mirthlessly.<br />
Then she thought, “I wonder if they got it on the bare? Ugh.”<br />
Knowing how old-fashioned Jack could be, she sadly decided it<br />
was more than possible.<br />
“I haven’t acted very well, I know. That’s not right; I’ve been a<br />
complete jackass,” she corrected herself. “But why does Jack have<br />
to be so stubborn? Why can’t we work something out?”<br />
She sighed. “This is crazy. I have to get out of here. I’m going to<br />
start packing now.” But the suitcase remained empty.<br />
She sat there for a long while, kicking her heels against the floor,<br />
every so often blurting out “Not gonna happen.”<br />
Finally she stood up. “This feels just like sitting in my old room,<br />
waiting for dad. I can’t stand it anymore.”<br />
She found Jack sitting in his den. He liked to hang out there<br />
in the evenings after a long day at work. She stood coyly in the<br />
doorway, hands behind her back, hardly daring to come in any<br />
further. Her eyes darted between Jack and the floor.<br />
“Hello, Megan.”<br />
“Hi, Uncle Jack.”<br />
Jack stood up from his recliner. Megan looked up at him, feeling<br />
small.<br />
“So, you’ve made a choice yet?”<br />
“Yeah . . . ” she mumbled, but she couldn’t think of what else to<br />
say. She could only stand there, twisting her foot back and forth
nervously. So her answer was to hold out the hairbrush in front of<br />
her like an offering in front of her.<br />
Then the words finally poured out. “I’m so sorry, Uncle Jack! I<br />
know I have a filthy mouth. I can’t help myself sometimes. I know<br />
I deserve to be p-p-punished. Just please don’t send me home. I’ll<br />
try sooooo hard to be good. Just let me stay, and I’ll take a sp- . . .<br />
sp- . . . you know. I got it coming. But really, it’s okay if you just<br />
use your hand. The ones I got from dad really hurt, and I always<br />
got the message. I promise, if you just use your hand, I’ll get the<br />
message for sure. The brush thingy is like just for a warning, right?<br />
In case I start to backslide, I’ll just have look at it and get set straight<br />
again. Right?”<br />
Jack took the hairbrush out of her hand. He didn’t respond to<br />
her pleas, saying only “I don’t know how your dad handled this,<br />
but we’ll do this just like with my girls, up in your room. After<br />
you,” he said, as he directed her towards the stairs.<br />
“Um, does this have to happen right now this minute?” she said<br />
while climbing the steps, with Jack right on her heels. “Dad would<br />
always give me a little time to myself to get, uh, mentally prepared,<br />
before it would happen. Can’t we wait til later? Or tomorrow?”<br />
“This is happening now, miss,” Jack said grimly.<br />
“Oh.”<br />
Before she knew it, they were in her room. Feeling her fate closing<br />
in in her, she had a sudden urge to run. Instead, she said,<br />
“Please don’t use that brush, Uncle Jack! Please, can’t you just use<br />
your hand? I promise to be a total angel if you just use your hand.<br />
The hairbrush really really huuurts.”<br />
Jack looked at her thoughtfully. “We are talking about a spanking<br />
here, no? Remind me what a spanking is supposed to feel like.”<br />
Megan giggled despite her alarm. “Yeah, I know. It’s supposed<br />
to hurt.”<br />
“It’s supposed to hurt enough to make you think ten times be-<br />
65<br />
fore risking another one. As you always like to remind me, you’re<br />
practically all grown up now. No little hand spanking is going to<br />
make enough of an impression on a big girl like you.”<br />
Megan couldn’t think of anything to say to that. Jack mused on,<br />
“Didn’t Mike eventually graduate you kids to the belt? I never<br />
used a strap on the girls, but I suppose I could give it a try.”<br />
“No, no, no. No, that’s alright,” she said hurriedly.<br />
“Hairbrush, then. Remember, my rules.” Jack sat down on the<br />
bed, and said the other thing that Megan was dreading. “<strong>Get</strong> those<br />
shorts down, miss. Panties too.”<br />
“Uncle Jaaaack! Noooooo!”<br />
“My rules, Megan. You don’t like it, you can leave right now.<br />
But if you stay, I expect you to follow my rules, no matter what<br />
you might think about it. Got it?”<br />
She wished she could sink into the floor and melt away. “yes<br />
sir,” she said, eyes cast down.<br />
Trembling like a leaf on a tree in the autumn, she made to unbutton<br />
her blue denim shorts. She felt strange, having to undress herself<br />
in front of Uncle Jack. She stood there, paralyzed. She couldn’t<br />
bring herself to do it. She could only look at Uncle Jack pleadingly.<br />
“Come over here, baby,” Jack said. “The girls never liked to take<br />
their own down either.” He unbuttoned her shorts, loosened the<br />
zipper, and briskly pulled them down to her knees, revealing her<br />
bright red boyshorts. After only a moments hesitation, he hooked<br />
his thumbs in the waistband and stripped her panties down in one<br />
motion.<br />
She stood there, bare to the world. She resisted the temptation<br />
to try to cover herself; she figured that doing that would on make<br />
her feel even more childish than she did already.<br />
“So, uh, should I like, get over your lap now?”<br />
He arched his eyebrows. “There’s an idea. No time like the<br />
present.”
Gingerly, she settled herself across his lap. She was a small girl,<br />
and Jack was tall with long legs; the tips of her toes just grazed the<br />
floor. Her head and tummy rested on the bed. She cupped her chin<br />
in her hands. Better get comfy, I may be here a while, she thought<br />
to herself ruefully.<br />
She was startled when Jack tugged on her right elbow. “Come<br />
on, wiggleworm,” he said.<br />
She wouldn’t have thought anything could make her blush now,<br />
but that did it. “Oh come on. I’m a big girl now. You don’t have<br />
to worry about that,” she mumbled. But she gave up her arm willingly,<br />
and Jack bent it back and held it securely by the wrist at the<br />
small of her back.<br />
Megan was acutely conscious that Jack had a front seat view of<br />
her bare bottom. Even in her best moments she was embarrassed<br />
by her backside, which was round and generous compared to her<br />
otherwise slender figure. “I hate my big ugly stupid butt,” she<br />
thought to herself. “<strong>Get</strong>ting whacked is about the only thing it’s<br />
good for.”<br />
“We both know your backside is very well acquainted with the<br />
hairbrush,” Jack said, “so you know what to expect. But it’s been<br />
quite a few years since your last paddling, I’m sure you’re out of<br />
practice. So I’m going to start you off with my hand before using<br />
the brush. You might like to take notes for comparison purposes,”<br />
he concluded grimly.<br />
“Ha ha, very funny,” she replied sourly.<br />
“You won’t be laughing in a minute. Here we go.”<br />
“Wait, Uncle Jack!”<br />
“What is it now?”<br />
“Uh . . . um . . . ”<br />
“No.”<br />
SMACK!<br />
The first spank was delivered with a swift wrist-flick to Megan’s<br />
66<br />
right bottom cheek. She squealed a girl-squeal of surprise, and felt<br />
the sharp sting of the swat, and then warmth creeping over her<br />
buttock. Jack followed with a spank to the left cheek. No squeal<br />
this time; just an almost inaudible groan of pain.<br />
Jack slowly delivered solid smacks to her upturned buttocks,<br />
leaving time between each spank to let the sensation sink into her<br />
skin. His method was methodical. He made sure every part of her<br />
backside, from the plump swell of her cheeks to the crease of her<br />
thigh, got its share of hefty wallops from the hard wooden implement.<br />
Yet he made sure he never fell into a set pattern.<br />
Megan pursed her lips, and sucked in her breath, as she endured<br />
her very first spanking in seven years. Even though the smacks<br />
came as regular as clockwork, she could never guess where the<br />
next one would land; each one felt like a new surprise, sending<br />
a lightning strike of agony through her body right down to her<br />
toes. She vowed to be brave, and willed herself to keep still. She<br />
hated her reputation as a wriggler, and didn’t want to reinforce<br />
whatever ideas Jack had about that. “This is okay. I can get through<br />
this. I can get through this,” she repeated mentally to herself like a<br />
mantra.<br />
After awhile (it could only have been a minute or two, though to<br />
Megan it felt like an hour) her bottom felt like she was sitting on a<br />
hot stove. She tried to be stoic, but she just couldn’t do it anymore.<br />
Each spank made her flex her toes and give a tiny gasp. A stinger<br />
to the base of her right cheek made her tense against Jack’s tight<br />
grip. An unexpected smack across the crack of her bottom made<br />
her kick her heels up.<br />
“None of that,” Jack said when she did that; then he gave a couple<br />
of quick hard smacks to the backs of her thighs. Taken by surprise,<br />
Megan shrieked and bucked. “Oh, that was not nice,” she<br />
whimpered “not nice at all.” Jack had to smile at the idea that up<br />
to now everything had been peachy.
Jack gave Megan another ten sharp spanks in quick succession.<br />
She gasped after each one. She wanted to protect her butt, but she<br />
could not slip from Jack’s grip, and her arm stayed locked tightly<br />
behind her. She was straining so hard that it took her a moment to<br />
notice when the spanks had stopped.<br />
Jack warmed his palm on her now well-pinkened bottom cheeks,<br />
resting his hand so as to give the muscle of his arm a chance to<br />
recover. The gentle caress on her buttocks, after the hot stings of<br />
the spanks, felt incredibly soothing to her. Her rigid body went<br />
limp and supple. “Oh,” she sighed.<br />
“Don’t get to comfortable yet, miss,” he said gruffly. “The main<br />
show is still to come.”<br />
Megan shivered.<br />
14.3 Part 3.<br />
Megan’s freshly spanked bottom tingled warmly. As she lay over<br />
her uncle’s lap, she wished she could rub the tingly feeling away.<br />
But Uncle Jack had held her right arm tightly behind her, and she<br />
could do nothing to ease the stinging.<br />
Jack did not give her much chance to relax. “I hope that put you<br />
in the proper frame of mind, Megan,” he said. “Let’s talk about<br />
what you did to get this, before we get on to the real punishment.”<br />
“Jack, you don’t have to do that. I’ve learned my lesson already,<br />
really!”<br />
“I promised you a paddling, miss, and you will get a paddling,<br />
long and hard. It will end when you’ve learned your lesson, and I<br />
will be the only judge of when you have learned your lesson. You<br />
will accept the punishment I decide on. All griping and pleading<br />
67<br />
will be ignored. This is how naughty children are punished in this<br />
house. Do we understand each other?”<br />
“Um.” It took a while, but eventually she replied, “Yes sir. I<br />
understand.”<br />
“Now,” he said as he reached for the brush, “I’d like you to<br />
answer some questions.” He tapped her bottom lightly with the<br />
brush. “Oh!” she squealed, surprised at the touch of the smooth<br />
cold wood.<br />
“Megan. Do you believe I am a ‘fuckwit’?”<br />
“Um, uh, heh heh. I mean, no sir!”<br />
“Can you explain why you decided to call me a fuckwit?”<br />
“Um. I dunno.”<br />
“Try?” He startled her with another light tap with the hairbrush.<br />
“Eek. Er. I said it because I was frustrated. And because of my<br />
temper. I have a bad temper. When I get frustrated, I mean.” She<br />
paused. From Jack’s silence she guessed that wasn’t enough. “Because<br />
I have trouble controlling my temper sometimes, and then I<br />
get nasty and say mean ugly nasty things.”<br />
“Saying ugly things makes you feel better?”<br />
“No, sir, no. Not really. I don’t feel any better. It makes me feel<br />
. . . I feel ashamed, sir.” She buried her face in her free hand.<br />
“Any idea why you have this temper problem?”<br />
“Oh, I dunno why . . . maybe I got away with too much as a kid,<br />
especially when I got older.”<br />
“I think I understand. Let’s see . . . do we need to discuss why<br />
you needed to call me – what was it? – an ‘ignorant domineering<br />
asshole’.”<br />
“Nooo! I’m sorry, sir, I’m sorreeeee!” She twisted her head<br />
around to look up at him, tears welling up. “I’m a silly stupid<br />
rude little girl. I’ve got bad manners and a potty mouth. I’ve had<br />
this coming. For a long time. I deserve it. Just do this, Uncle Jack.<br />
Sir. Please.”
“Okay, sweetie. I will.”<br />
He gripped the brush. Megan clutched the folds of the blankets<br />
with her free hand, and tried to ready herself as best she could for<br />
what was coming.<br />
But nothing happened for at least a minute. “He’s taking his<br />
sweet time, the bastard,” she thought (but thankfully did not say<br />
aloud). In those moments Megan had too much time to think.<br />
(Which was exactly the effect Jack was after; being a father of two<br />
daughters, he’d learned a trick or two.)<br />
Megan felt small and afraid. She was intensely aware of her<br />
upturned bottom, hot and stinging as it was. “I wonder what I<br />
look like,” she thought. She took inventory of what an imaginary<br />
onlooker might see: awkwardly sprawled across a big man’s lap,<br />
lower garments rucked at her knees, arm twisted uselessly behind<br />
her, tears staining the blush on her cheeks. Crowning the picture<br />
were her other cheeks, no doubt glowing with a fresh blush of their<br />
own. “I must look as spanked as I feel,” she thought. “That’s how<br />
Uncle Jack will see me from now on . . . like a sorry, snot-faced little<br />
spanked girl. So much for looking all grown-up.”<br />
But that kind of thinking was merely a distraction from an<br />
old hard-wood haircare implement that she could not see, but<br />
knew was poised to be unleashed on her already-tender buttocks.<br />
“Dammit, Jack, let’s get this over with,” she thought. “I’ve survived<br />
this before; I can survive it again. It’s the waiting that’s the<br />
worst.” It made her want to scream.<br />
Just then, the hairbrush landed on her bottom with a solid<br />
smack. And she screamed.<br />
“Yeaaargh!”<br />
The hairbrush landed again with a solid smack on Megan’s already<br />
red behind. “Ow!” She exclaimed. Another smack, and<br />
another “Ow!”<br />
“Holy crap,” she thought, “I forgot how much this hurts.” An-<br />
68<br />
other smack, and she squealed “oh oh oh, it burns! I can’t take this,<br />
please stop!”<br />
Jack’s answer to her plea was given in the language of brush<br />
swats on bare rump. It was a language she understood all too well,<br />
even if she was a little out of practice. She answered in the traditional<br />
way, with gasps and shouts of “oooh!” As hard swats set<br />
fire to her bottom, she began to buck and squirm and kick her heels<br />
involuntarily in time with the beat of the brush.<br />
A particularly hard smack to the sensitive sit spot on her left<br />
buttock made her curse. “Aaah! Holy fuck, that fucking huuurts!”<br />
“Do you REMEMBER that your POTTY MOUTH got you here,<br />
young lady?” yelled Jack, who hardly ever shouted, even when he<br />
was mad.<br />
“Oh, shi- . . . I mean, I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry Jack I’m<br />
soreeeeee . . . ” Her response degenerated into ragged gasps, as<br />
Jack beat her bottom with a new fury. Hairbrush smacks smoked<br />
her bottom; the pain in her bottom took control over all her other<br />
senses.<br />
Megan had no dignity now. She scissored her legs uncontrollably.<br />
Her panties stayed bunched at her knees, while her shorts<br />
shimmied down her legs until they finally sailed across the room.<br />
She bucked and squirmed against her uncle’s hold, but Jack left<br />
arm was still too strong for her, even as he kept up a steady rain of<br />
swats with his right. She had no words left; she could only bawl<br />
like a baby.<br />
She continued sobbing long after the paddling ended. Jack let go<br />
of her wrist. Still prone across his lap, she wiped bitter tears from<br />
her eyes.<br />
When her breathing started to shallow, Jack lifted her up and<br />
held her in his arms. Without any sense of shame, she sat, bareassed<br />
as she was, on his lap, and melted into his warm embrace.<br />
Her crying eventually trailed off to breathless little sobs.
As Jack held his niece close in his arms, he grew thoughtful. “I<br />
love all my family,” Jack murmured. “Little girl, you’ve been almost<br />
like a third daughter to me. Since Donna passed away . . .<br />
well, it’s been hard. And then my girls both left home for school.<br />
It’s no fun living in an empty house. It’s been good to have you<br />
around, sweetie.”<br />
He paused. “Those things you said to me today truly hurt.<br />
Maybe you can’t understand how just much.”<br />
She sniffled. “I’m sorry, Uncle Jack,” she said simply. A hint of<br />
a smile crept over her face. “I think I have idea now how much<br />
words can hurt.”<br />
He chuckled. “Yeah, maybe you do now.” He stood her up on<br />
her feet. “I’ll see you tomorrow, little miss wigglebottom. Sleep<br />
well.”<br />
“Good night, Uncle Jack.”<br />
The next morning, Megan shyly came down to the kitchen,<br />
where Jack was drinking coffee and reading the paper.<br />
“Good morning, kiddo.”<br />
“Hello. Good morning, sir,” she replied formally, as she went<br />
to the coffee maker to pour herself a cup. Jack could see she was<br />
walking a little stiffly.<br />
“How are you feeling?”<br />
“Pretty sore, sir.” She grimaced as she sat down at the breakfast<br />
table. “My butt is basically one big bruise at this point. Black and<br />
blue all over.”<br />
“Don’t worry. It’ll heal in time.”<br />
“Uh huh. I know, sir.”<br />
Jack looked at her. “You can still call me ‘Uncle Jack’, you know.<br />
I don’t require ‘sir’.”<br />
69<br />
“I’d kinda rather stick with ‘sir’, sir.” She shrugged. “Maybe it<br />
will help me with my, uh, respect issues.”<br />
“Hmm . . . you may have a idea there.” He paused significantly.<br />
“So, Megan . . . let me know when you’re ready for our talk about<br />
the new rules we’ll have around here.”<br />
“I guess I’m ready whenever, sir.” She sighed. “I’ll miss being<br />
independent. But I know things have to change now. Am I gonna<br />
have to have a curfew?” she asked.<br />
Jack looked at her with surprise. “But Megan, I don’t want to<br />
take away your independence. You are a young woman, almost all<br />
grown up, with your own life to live. I’m not going to tell you how<br />
late you stay out, or what friends you can have, or anything like<br />
that.”<br />
“Really, uncle Jack?! I mean, sir?”<br />
“Really, Megan. The only rules are these: Always speak respectfully<br />
to me, to anyone else in the family, or anyone we do business<br />
with. No cussing in front of me, or anytime on the job. Do your<br />
job diligently, without slacking off; that goes for chores at home<br />
too. What else . . . don’t get arrested, or let me catch you doing<br />
something that might land you in jail. That’s about it. I think that’s<br />
pretty reasonable, don’t you?”<br />
Megan beamed. “Yes sir, it is! I can do all that. Thanks Uncle<br />
Jack!”<br />
“The one thing is this. There will be consequences whenever<br />
you don’t live up to my reasonable expectations. Always. No exceptions.”<br />
“Of course. Consequences,” she repeated grimly. “Should I dare<br />
to ask what kind?”<br />
“I think you can guess.”<br />
“Uh huh. <strong>Spanked</strong>. I know.” She looked at him pleadingly. “But<br />
does it have to be with the . . . on the . . . ”<br />
He nodded.
“Hairbrush. Bare,” she said, answering her own question. “Oh<br />
well. The way I’ve acted, I guess that’s only fair. But don’t worry,”<br />
she said brightly, “I’ll be soooo good, you’ll never have to.”<br />
“Don’t get cocky, kiddo. One rude comment from you is all it<br />
will take to get your bottom blistered.”<br />
“Oh. Well, I won’t let it happen, sir,” was all she could say. But<br />
she knew herself better than that. Mouthing off was a habit it was<br />
going to take a while for he to break. She had to resign herself<br />
to the idea that, even with the best will in the world, she would<br />
probably soon find herself back over Jack’s knee, bare bottomed<br />
and squealing.<br />
“And in the extreeeeeemly unlikely case it does have to happen,<br />
sir, . . . Well, you said I still had some growing up to do. And I<br />
guess I do. Maybe some, uh, consequences will help with that.”<br />
“Well said, sweetie,” Jack replied.<br />
After that, there was a long, embarrassing silence, which didn’t<br />
end until Jack stood up and said, “Time to go to the office. Would<br />
you like to a ride to work with me?”<br />
“Oh, sure, Uncle Jack. Let me grab my purse and stuff.” She<br />
jumped up (groaning a little “oof” as she did) and headed for the<br />
stairs. But at the foot of the stairs she stopped, turned around, and<br />
came back to the kitchen. “Sir, I just wanted to say . . . thank you,<br />
sir.”<br />
“It’s no problem. Saves on gasoline.”<br />
“I mean, thank you . . . for everything. I think I made the right<br />
choice.”<br />
“Oh. You’re welcome, wiggleworm. And I’m glad.”<br />
She smiled happily and bounded up the stairs.<br />

Chapter 15<br />
15. Second Chances<br />
“It’s a waste of time, doc.” Johanna’s artificial joints creaked<br />
as she settled her ancient body onto the table. “I’ve had quite<br />
enough life, thank you. I have no desire for simulated pseudolife.”<br />
A raspy buzz underlaid her voice, a side effect of her artificial<br />
nanofiber lungs.<br />
“I’m sorry, Admiral, but it’s out of my hands. In a few weeks,<br />
your neural degeneration will make it impossible to record the<br />
state vector of your consciousness. We are required to take an imprint<br />
before it’s too late.” He arranged a series of black panels<br />
around her head: quantum entanglement devices, which would<br />
make an instantaneous copy of her mental state and record it on<br />
a petaqubit storage medium. “I understand how you feel now,<br />
ma’am. But as long as there is a possibility that you will change<br />
your mind before the end . . . ”<br />
“Not fucking likely.” She sighed (which her high-tech lungs<br />
made sound like a whine). “Even in the matrix, I’ll still remember.<br />
I have too many memories.”<br />
The doctor returned to his console, and flicked his fingers on his<br />
readouts. “The plague war was a terrible time, I know. I can’t<br />
pretend to understand what it was like for you, Admiral. I have<br />
no clue what kinds of horrors you saw.” He looked at her. “But<br />
71<br />
believe me when I tell you, Admiral, you’re a hero, and everyone<br />
knows it. You saved countless lives; millions of people escaped<br />
the Nanoplague because of you. I hope those count as positive<br />
memories for you, to go alongside the bad ones.”<br />
She closed her eyes. There was no way to explain. She had seen<br />
death often during the war; that was part of being a soldier. She<br />
had ordered thousands of obedient subordinates to their doom, in<br />
so that others might live; that was part of being a commander. She<br />
had made the truly hard choices, to sacrifice some so that more<br />
might have a chance to live.<br />
“Yes, of course they count too,” she lied.<br />
“You must have many pleasant memories from the time before<br />
the war.”<br />
“Do I look old enough to remember the time before the war?”<br />
She gave him a whithering look.<br />
“I’m sorry ma’am, I just assumed . . . ”<br />
“Oh, keep your britches on, doctor. Of course I remember when<br />
the war began. Over 200 subjective years ago for me. Now it’s hard<br />
for me to find memories that go back farther.”<br />
The doctor flicked his hands over an access pad. “No happy<br />
childhood memories, then?” he asked.
“I suppose I was happy once,” she said. “I was brought up on<br />
a fusion-powered interstellar freighter called the Going Concern. It<br />
was a whole world in itself. The first twenty-odd years of my life<br />
we were in transit between systems; the ship was the only thing I<br />
knew. Every single person I knew or cared about was there. They<br />
were my people.”<br />
“You have family?”<br />
She became thoughtful. ”It was my mother who raised me. She<br />
was a good woman. She died before I grew up. I didn’t know my<br />
father.<br />
“Then after my schooling, I apprenticed to the chief engineer.<br />
He taught me everything about fusion drives and deflector shields,<br />
and how to act decisively when the tech started misbehaving. He<br />
was a strict master, but always fair. He trained me up to be a ship’s<br />
engineer myself, and I learned command-skills too. Everything I<br />
became, I owe to my mother, my master, and all the other people<br />
on that ship.”<br />
She sighed. They were all gone now. ”I should have been happy<br />
there. But somehow I got the idea that there was more to see of the<br />
universe than the hull of a cargo vessel.<br />
“We were decelerating into our destination when we found out<br />
about the holocaust of Tau Ceti. As soon as I could, I jumped ship<br />
and enlisted in the Fleet.”<br />
I ran away, she thought to herself. I turned my back on my home.<br />
I I never deserved to go back.<br />
“I never saw that freighter again, or anyone from it. So, I have<br />
no family left.” And with of the stress of war, and the rigors of<br />
command, she had somehow never had the time to develop close<br />
intimacy with anyone. She was alone now.<br />
Were any of them still alive? she wondered, not for the first time.<br />
Shame had always held her back. Now, a new thought occurred<br />
to her. She didn’t have much time left, and maybe shame didn’t<br />
72<br />
matter anymore.<br />
“Okay, Admiral, we’re ready to go,” the doctor said, distractedly<br />
fiddling with his console. “The imaging process is instantaneous. I<br />
promise you won’t even notice it happen. Just hold still. Ready?”<br />
“<strong>Get</strong> it over with, then.”<br />
“Here goes.”<br />
Johanna was blinded by bright light. After a few seconds, the<br />
light resolved into an image. She was standing on a high green<br />
palisade, overlooking a deep blue sea. Soothing warmth and light<br />
radiated from a stellar object high above. The sky was a color she<br />
could not describe; perhaps made of light from a part of the spectrum<br />
human eyes could not see, or neural tissue could not process.<br />
A little ways away, past the balustrade lining the cliff-face was a<br />
cobblestoned plaza, equipped with tables and chairs. Happy looking<br />
people sat there, drinking and talking. She stepped in that direction,<br />
barefoot through thick grass. She found she was wearing a<br />
light summer dress, which caught in the breeze as she walked. She<br />
caressed her own body with her hands. Her skin was soft, supple,<br />
and unblemished. Her muscles were firm and taut. Her breasts<br />
were firm and perky. She felt none of the aches and creaks of old<br />
age that had weighed her down only seconds ago. This was her<br />
body as it was on the cusp of womanhood.<br />
“Welcome to L’isola Verde, Johanna.”<br />
Startled, she turned around. A man stood there, watching her.<br />
Tall, with a powerful frame, he had a shock of black hair and a<br />
brown complexion. He looked young, but had an aspect that suggested<br />
an inner maturity far beyond his apparent age. He held<br />
some sort of flexible tube in his hand. He seemed familiar, somehow.<br />
“I assume I’m dead. So, can you explain the me why fuck I<br />
ended up here?” she demanded.<br />
“Of course I can. Your conscious state was imaged and recorded,
as I’m sure you recall. After you died, that imprint of your consciousness<br />
was uploaded and instantiated in a computational matrix.<br />
In particular, inside the sub-matrix running this simulacra,<br />
which we like to call L’isola Verde. It’s beautiful here, is it not.”<br />
She looked around. It was indeed very beautiful. She thought it<br />
must be a replica of some Mediterranean island paradise, as could<br />
be found on old Earth before the nanovirus came.<br />
“Yes, it’s pretty. I know about the imaging. But I explicitly refused<br />
to have my consciousness instantiated!” She was shouting<br />
now. “So mister, stop spouting the obvious and tell me what the<br />
fuck is going on.”<br />
“Johanna, before you died you changed your mind, and authorized<br />
an upload. I realize this must be very disorienting to you. I<br />
sympathize, so will ignore your rudeness. For now.”<br />
Feeling a little rebuked, she said, “Um, sorry. It’s just kind of<br />
weird to wake up dead, you know. So . . . please tell me what I<br />
have to do to get my program deleted.”<br />
“I’m sorry, Johanna. I’m afraid I can’t do that. Your instantiation<br />
comes with some . . . constraints.”<br />
“WHAT? What constraints? I know my fucking rights, which<br />
include the right to delete my own fucking instantiation at my own<br />
fucking convenience, no questions asked.”<br />
He proffered the tube he was holding. It looked like a rolled up<br />
sheaf of parchment, bound by a brilliant lavender ribbon. On it<br />
were the words “Last Will and Testament”.<br />
“What is this?”<br />
“Before you died, you prepared a will, which specifies the precise<br />
parameters of your post-mortal instantiation. You are bound<br />
by its terms. It’s all quite legal, and there is no appeal. You can<br />
check for yourself if you’d like. One of those terms is the waiving<br />
of your right of self-termination.”<br />
“Holy crap. Is that actually possible?” She took the scroll from<br />
73<br />
him gingerly. “Perhaps I’d better read this. I wonder what else the<br />
bitch who wrote this has in store for me.”<br />
“The scroll is merely an access token to the text of the actual will,<br />
which I can assure you is lengthy and exceptionally boring. It’ll be<br />
easier if you let me summarize the main points.”<br />
She folded her arms across her chest. “Well go ahead, mister<br />
know it all.” She was feeling more sure that he was someone she<br />
once knew in the flesh, but she could not place him.<br />
“I’m told that in your last years you became troubled by feeling<br />
of guilt, about your actions in the war, blameless though you seem<br />
to most people. Not to mention guilt for running away from your<br />
childhood home. Is that right?”<br />
She gulped. “I guess so. What’s this got to do with all this?”<br />
He looked at her. “Your instantiation is to be your punishment.<br />
You will be subject to a regime of servitude, strict discipline, and<br />
painful correction. That’s what the will says.”<br />
“Punishment?” She knew it must be true. “Oh shit. What the<br />
hell have I done to myself?” She shivered, thinking of the kinds<br />
of tortures she was capable of devising, especially in a simulation<br />
matrix where any horror could be made real. Her voice rose with<br />
alarm. “This can’t really be happening. This isn’t really. I won’t do<br />
it, I won’t let you do touch me.” She panicked and turned to run<br />
away, as though it would do a bit of good.<br />
She found she could not move. The man gripped her tightly<br />
about the waist. Before she could cry out, he gave her a hard smack<br />
on her bottom.<br />
“Ow!” she cried.<br />
“Calm down, girl.” He gave her several more hard spanks, then<br />
let her go. “I have not excused you, Johanna,” he said. They both<br />
stood there for a minute. Johanna felt foolish and stupid.<br />
After a while, he said “Are you ready to hear the rest of what I<br />
have to say?”
She nodded mutely.<br />
“L’isola verde is a fairly conservative simulacra, compared to<br />
some. Our simulated bodies are close-to-human-baseline expressions<br />
of the bodies we had in real life. We talk, eat, drink, shit, and<br />
fuck much as we did in life.”<br />
Johanna broke in with “Wow. Computer generated shit. Sounds<br />
like a blast.”<br />
He ignored her disruption. “We have a nice little society here,<br />
something like paradise, though a workable one. We’re pretty<br />
much like most human societies we have known. Most of what<br />
we need is provided, but each of us is also given some necessary<br />
work to do, so that we have a chance to feel useful. Nothing taxing,<br />
and otherwise we are free to do as we wish. Right now, my project<br />
is you.”<br />
He continued. “Inside the simulacra, you instructed in your will<br />
that you are not free to do as you wish. Instead, you will be given<br />
work to do. Tedious and humble tasks. Sometimes you you might<br />
act as a serving girl, bringing food and drink to others. Sometimes<br />
you’ll be a mule, carrying goods on your back. Sometimes you’ll<br />
be cleaning latrines, or shoveling computer generated excrement.”<br />
He smiled grimly.<br />
“Prison with hard labor. Is that what you’re telling me.”<br />
“Something like that.”<br />
“And what if I refuse to do the work?”<br />
“You grew up on a cargo vessel, Johanna. I’m sure you remember.”<br />
She was surprised at the turn of subject. “Yes, the Going Concern.<br />
It was a long time ago.”<br />
“How did they handle discipline when you were growing up?”<br />
Still surprised, she said, “On the cargo vessel? They were strict,<br />
like you’d expect on a slow interstellar vehicle. When you’re<br />
twenty years away from human civilization, there’s no help if<br />
74<br />
something goes wrong. Loyalty to your ship and your people is<br />
everything. You learn that major errors of judgment or disrespect<br />
to your elders will earn you the stick. After that kind of upbringing,<br />
military discipline in the Fleet was a breeze.” She screwed up<br />
her face; she could sense where this was leading.<br />
The mysterious man smiled. “Did you get the stick, Johanna?”<br />
She blushed. “Sure. Just like any other kid, I guess.”<br />
He said nothing, so she filled in the silence. “Mama never hesitated<br />
to put me over her lap, when I needed it. If I still didn’t mind<br />
her, she’d smack my backside with the kitchen-spoon. Got a few<br />
paddlings in school. We’d have to bend across our desk right there<br />
in class, bare butt in the air, so we could be made an example of.<br />
At that age the embarrassment is worse than the pain, even though<br />
we all got it the same way.” She wondered if the dark haired man<br />
was going to paddle her bottom; the thought gave her a squirmy<br />
feeling she had not felt for decades. The idea was alarming, yet<br />
it felt right somehow. She was sure now she knew this man; but<br />
how?<br />
“But no more whippings once you finished with schooling?” he<br />
continued.<br />
She smiled. “That’d be true for most people, but I was ambitious.<br />
I wanted to be a ship’s officer. So I got myself apprenticed. Masters<br />
were expected to use corporal punishment on their charges. Mine<br />
did. He was pretty enthusiastic about it, actually.”<br />
“Beat you often, did he?”<br />
“Well, he wasn’t shy about it, if that’s what you mean. If I ever<br />
did something careless or inattentive or disrespectful, he’d pull off<br />
his belt and whip me right where we were. I’d shuck my trousers<br />
down and touch toes for him to strap my bare behind. I didn’t dare<br />
move until he was done, even if I was in tears.”<br />
“Sounds like he was nasty and cruel.”<br />
“Oh no. Not cruel. And never nasty.” She mused. “He always
expected me to give my best, and no less. Which was fair, because<br />
he always gave the best himself. He was the most patient and understanding<br />
teacher, and I knew if I did my best I had nothing to be<br />
afraid of. I respected him more than anyone else I have ever met.”<br />
As she spoke, memories flooded into her mind, that had been<br />
buried while she was still flesh and blood. She had not merely respected<br />
him, but worshiped him as only an impressionable youth<br />
could worship her teacher and master. She had treasured the corrections<br />
she received from him, painful though they were, as tokens<br />
of his love.<br />
She wiped tears from her eyes, and looked into the eyes of her<br />
master.<br />
“Paulo? Is it really you?”<br />
He nodded. “It is.”<br />
“You seem different.”<br />
“You knew me as I was in middle age. It’s no surprise you didn’t<br />
recognize the young man’s body I’m wearing now.”<br />
There was too much to be said, so they said nothing.<br />
He was the first to break the silence. “You deserted us, Johanna.<br />
You left everyone who cared about you, and you never looked<br />
back.”<br />
“I meant to come back.”<br />
“But you didn’t. Perhaps you were too scared to come back to<br />
us as a deserter.”<br />
She bit her lip. ”It wasn’t fear. I knew there’d be a price to<br />
pay. Even if I returned of my own will, I could expect a couple<br />
of years in the brig, and who knows how many whippings. Not a<br />
nice homecoming to look forward to. But Going Concern was my<br />
only true home. I could never leave it forever, I thought.<br />
“But there was a war to fight. No one expected it to last long, but<br />
it did. I couldn’t let down my brothers and sisters in arms, so when<br />
my first ten years were up, I reenlisted. Same thing next time, and<br />
75<br />
the next. Anything else would make a deserter two times over. It<br />
was what I had to do. And once we won the war, you were gone,”<br />
she finished sadly.<br />
“We couldn’t make it through the war, Johanna,” he said. “We<br />
made a a half-dozen more runs after we left you, always afraid the<br />
war would get to our destination ahead of us. Finally, we were<br />
stranded at epsilon Eridani. Plague was at all the systems within<br />
reach. We had nowhere to go. We had to cash out just to survive.<br />
Going Concern was stripped for parts. With the money we<br />
collected, some of us settled on Eridani. Many found positions on<br />
other ships once trade started up again. Our people ended up dispersed<br />
through human space.”<br />
“So there was no home for me to back to.”<br />
“Going Concern wasn’t going anymore. But we who had been<br />
a part of that ship kept in touch across the light-years. We still<br />
remembered what we had. And we wondered about our prodigal<br />
daughter.”<br />
She looked at her feet, unable to look him in the eye. “I’m so<br />
sorry. I should have tried harder to find you. I guess you found me<br />
in the end.”<br />
“Actually, you found us first, though damn all if you didn’t leave<br />
it to the last minute. I died on Aldebaran decades ago,” he continued.<br />
“My consciousness was instantiated in the L’isola matrix; it<br />
reminds me a little of my boyhood on old earth. Not long before<br />
you died you got in touch with the few of us who were still in the<br />
flesh, and they got you in touch with me. You devised a will, and<br />
here we are.”<br />
“Here we are,” she echoed. “So, . . . what happens now, sir?”<br />
“Now, Johanna, you get the stick. Strip.”<br />
Her mouth gaped wide as her tummy fluttered. With a glance<br />
over at the plaza, she asked, “Here, right in front of all those people?”<br />
He didn’t say anything, but his steely-eyed expression told
her she should obey. “Of course. It won’t be my first public spanking,”<br />
she muttered. “Just like old times.” She shimmied the thin<br />
little dress over her head, and let it fall on the grass. Now naked,<br />
she wrapped her arms about herself.<br />
Paolo snapped a slender green branch from a nearby tree. “You<br />
know, I always wanted to try a switch on you. The willow tree<br />
in the arboretum on Going Concern put out some really whippy<br />
shoots. But living biomatter was far too precious to waste on<br />
naughty backsides.” With a knife he quickly cleaned the branch<br />
of its leaves.<br />
He pointed to the low balustrade at the edge of the plaza. “Put<br />
your elbows on the rail,” he said. “Shoulders down, bottom high,<br />
and arch your back. I’m sure you remember the drill.” She bent<br />
over and pressed her forearms in the cold marble surface. Before<br />
her a beautiful sheltered harbor was laid out, ringed by white<br />
beaches and green woody highlands. This is such a beautiful place,<br />
she thought. Under different circumstances, I could be happy here.<br />
“You have such a lovely round, spankable bottom, Johanna. Just<br />
as I remember it in the flesh. Do remind me to pay my compliments<br />
to the computational core for its outstanding simulation of your<br />
lovely rump.” Johanna had to chuckle at that. His compliment on<br />
her bottom secretly delighted her. She wiggled her lower-half at<br />
him unconsciously.<br />
He became serious again. “Here is some information you need<br />
to know, Johanna. Your body image deviates from the benchmarks<br />
of this simulacra. Normally, our pain thresholds are capped; we<br />
can’t feel intense pain in the matrix. For obvious reasons, your pain<br />
threshold limits are disabled. On top of that, your will stipulates<br />
that pain response in your buttocks and thighs be enhanced by a<br />
factor of three.”<br />
She winced. Remind me to thank the bitch who came up with<br />
that one, she thought to herself.<br />
76<br />
“In that case, could I ask you go easy on me, Paolo? I mean, if<br />
it’s going to hurt triple . . . ”<br />
“Johanna Chen!”<br />
She withered in the face of his sudden vehemence.<br />
“Johanna Chen, you have been convicted of crime of desertion<br />
from the polity of the cargo ship Going Concern. As a runaway from<br />
your people, you are subject to their justice. As the nearest available<br />
representative of the polity of Going Concern, I am authorized<br />
by said polity to inflict lawful punishment upon you. In view of<br />
the circumstances, that you deserted your people in a time of war,<br />
and that you failed to return to them in their time of need, you<br />
are subject to the maximum lawful penalty: an indefinite period<br />
of enforced servitude, enforced by and augmented with corporal<br />
discipline, to be applied at my sole discretion. Do you accept this<br />
penalty, Johanna?”<br />
She shivered uncontrollably. She’d boasted she was not afraid of<br />
the penalty for desertion. Another lie.<br />
“Yes, sir,” she replied meekly.<br />
Johanna steeled herself for the first cut. She was surprised when<br />
Paolo bent down by her ear and spoke to her in a low voice.<br />
“You were my always favorite pupil, Johanna. Like the daughter<br />
I never had. In some ways.” He looked away. “I assumed I meant<br />
something to you. And then one day you were gone. You could<br />
have at least had the guts to say goodbye.”<br />
He choked up with emotion. “Eventually I forgave you in my<br />
heart. I understood that even though I loved you, you couldn’t<br />
possibly feel the same way.”<br />
He stepped back, and raised his hand to deliver the first cut.<br />
Tears filled her eyes even before she heard the whistle of the supple<br />
limb and felt it’s bite, first cold, then hot.<br />
Paolo switched her hard and fast, layering cuts across every<br />
square centimeter of her broad behind. She hopped and bucked
each time the switch creased her rear. When she jumped up and<br />
tried to cover herself, he grabbed her wrist, held her down, and<br />
planted angry red stripes on her thighs. She squealed. When the<br />
switch began to unravel, he pulled off his belt and swatted her<br />
now-crimson buttocks. She howled.<br />
He threw the belt down. He applied meaty spanks to the swell<br />
of her buttocks with his powerful hand. He spanked endlessly. She<br />
sobbed eternally.<br />
Johanna was still bent over the balustrade when she became<br />
aware of her surroundings again. How long it had been since the<br />
spanking stopped? Did time even have meaning in the matrix?<br />
Only the gentle caress of Paolo’s hands on her shoulders told her<br />
that the spanking was over.<br />
“I treble my compliments to the central core,” he said. “Exceptional<br />
realism, wouldn’t you say.”<br />
“Oh, my, yes, very authentic,” she heard herself reply conversationally,<br />
as though they were just two friends admiring the view of<br />
the harbor. “It still burns.” He massaged her neck and back. She<br />
smiled. “You can rub it. If you want. I don’t think I’ll jump if you<br />
touch. Carefully.”<br />
He delicately tickled her welted bottom. She melted.<br />
“I always wanted you,” she murmured. “Of all the men I’ve<br />
met, no one could compare to you. When I left, I was afraid to<br />
come back. Because I knew you’d hate me.”<br />
She half-expected him walk away, or to catch her up in his arms<br />
and kiss her passionately. But he merely continued to caress her<br />
upraised bottom.<br />
“The will you wrote stipulates your bondage, like I told you. It<br />
can’t be changed,” he said eventually. She wondered if he had even<br />
heard her. “You’ll have to do as I say. You’ll surely be be punished.<br />
77<br />
Often.” He pinched the swell of her buttock, and she squeaked.<br />
“But I don’t think we will need to repeat this ordeal again.”<br />
“I hope not. I’m so sore.”<br />
“We’re going to be spending a lot of time together, Johanna,” he<br />
said carefully. “That will give us a chance to get to know each other<br />
again.”<br />
She smiled. “It’s something to look forward to, Paulo.”<br />
He gave her a playful smack.<br />
“Eeek! Hey!”<br />
“I seem to remember that a certain dewy-eyed apprentice of<br />
mine was required to address me as ‘sir’, lest she suffer painful<br />
consequences. Does that sound right to you?”<br />
“Um, yes sir. I remember it that way too, sir.”<br />
Still fondling her bottom with one hand, he dipped the fingers of<br />
his free hand into the cleft between her legs. She yelped in shock<br />
and pleasure.<br />
“My, you are a juicy one, aren’t you,” he said, brushing his fingers<br />
over her hidden treasures.<br />
“Mmmmmmmhmmmm,” she replied.<br />
Another, not-so-playful smack.<br />
“Yikes! I mean, mmmhmmm sir!”<br />
“Stand up, Johanna.”<br />
She turned around and faced him.<br />
“There’s another stipulation of your will that you need to know,”<br />
he said. “Orgasms are not allowed without permission.” She<br />
gaped at him. “So don’t even attempt to diddle yourself. I’ll be<br />
informed, and the consequences will be severe, I promise you.”<br />
He was grinning.<br />
“But sir, I’m so, so . . . I need . . . please?”<br />
“If you’re a very good girl, I may allow you a reward from time<br />
to time.”
“Oh. I see, sir. The carrot, as well as the stick.” She looked<br />
meaningfully at the bulge in his trousers.<br />
He burst out in laughter. “I had no idea my little apprentice had<br />
such a filthy mind. What else do I have to learn about you?”<br />
“I guess we have a whole afterlife to find out.” She grinned.<br />
“Sir.”<br />

Chapter 16<br />
16. What Jen Found Out<br />
Jen sipped the last of her fruity rum concoction. “Ready to go<br />
soon, Sandi?” she said. “Didn’t Malcolm say he’d have dinner<br />
ready at 6?”<br />
“Oh, we’re fine,” Sandi replied breezily, swinging off her<br />
barstool. “I need to take a trip to the ladies. If you can snag that<br />
bartender, get me another Manhattan, won’t you please.”<br />
“We’ll be late. It’s almost 6 already,” Jen shouted after her, but<br />
Sandi had already vanished into the after-work bar crowd. Jen was<br />
puzzled by Sandi’s laid-back attitude. She’d always had the impression<br />
that Sandi’s husband was a bit of a stickler for being on<br />
time.<br />
Sandi’s phone buzzed, and Jen picked it up; a message from<br />
Sandy’s husband. Idly, she tapped the icon. She knew she<br />
shouldn’t snoop, but she was bored. And she’d been close friends<br />
with both Sandi and Malcolm since college, so what the heck!<br />
She saw it was a text message with a photo attached. The text<br />
read<br />
U r late, naughty girl. We test new toy tonight.<br />
The grainy dark photo confused Jen, until she realized it was a<br />
picture of a hairbrush.<br />
79<br />
Jen gasped with surprise, and read it again. No, it really looked<br />
like Malcolm was threatening to spank his wife with a hairbrush.<br />
Jen had known Malcolm even longer than Sandi, and had even<br />
dated him briefly in college. But Malcolm wasn’t really her type,<br />
she’d decided; he was too tame and easygoing for her tastes. Still,<br />
she knew that he was a thoroughly decent and caring man. They’d<br />
remained friends. Jen was the one who introduced him to her<br />
friend, and his future wife, Sandi, and Jen was delighted that they<br />
made such a good match.<br />
Could it be that Malcolm and Sandi had a kinky side she had<br />
never known about? She could imagine it of Sandi, though she’d<br />
never glimpsed any sign of it. But safe, unadventurous Malcolm?<br />
If she’d known it when she was dating him, things might have<br />
turned out very differently.<br />
“Hey, Jen, did someone call me?”<br />
Jen nearly jumped out of her skin. “Um, no. I mean, uh . . . ”<br />
Sandi took the phone from Jen, and looked at the message on the<br />
screen. “Oh,” she said flatly. “A text from Malcolm..”<br />
“Um, I looked at your message by accident, kind of,” Jen said. “I<br />
shouldn’t have, but I didn’t think it’d be private. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, well. Don’t worry, it’s OK, I guess,” Sandi answered slowly,<br />
as she sat down. “We’ve known each other practically forever. We<br />
can’t really keep secrets from each other, right? Hey, did you remember<br />
to get me that drink?”<br />
Sandi waved at the bartender and got her Manhattan, while Jen<br />
slurped the dregs in her glass. Sandi looked at her friend, and said,<br />
“I can tell you’re wondering about it.”<br />
Awkwardly, Jen replied, “Um, no, I mean, it’s really none of business<br />
. . . ”<br />
“It’s okay Jen. I have something to share with you, girl.” She<br />
grinned coyly at Jen.<br />
“As you can see,” Sandi continued, “this is a picture of the new<br />
toy I got for Malcolm, and he’s been just dying to play with it all<br />
week. It’s an old hardwood Mason-Pearson hairbrush, a real antique.<br />
Cost a mint, anyway, though I’m sure I’d never heard of it<br />
until Malcolm started dropping hints. He does love his toys.”<br />
She sipped at her drink and continued. “Anyway, I promised<br />
to give the new gadget a good test run,” she continued. “But I’ve<br />
been bringing home so much work all week, and I’ve been putting<br />
him off. Poor man, and he’s so patient! He’ll get to have a go at me<br />
with it tonight.”<br />
“Have a go at you,” Jen repeated.<br />
“Yeah,” Sandi replied. “And I don’t mean he’s planning to brush<br />
my hair.”<br />
Interpreting Jen’s stare as confusion, she clarified, whispering<br />
into Jen’s ear, “Spanking, Jen. Malcolm likes to spank me. Actually,<br />
Malcolm has a bit of a thing about spankings, always has. Bet you<br />
didn’t know that.”<br />
“Wow,” Jen stammered. “I mean, wow. I’ve known both of you<br />
for years, and I just had no idea.”<br />
“It’s not something to bring up in conversation, you know. If<br />
someone asks, ‘How was your evening?’ I’m exactly not going<br />
80<br />
to be like: ‘Hubby and I went out to the theater, then we went<br />
home and he put me over his knee and spanked me.’ It’s just a bit<br />
embarrassing to come out with something like that, you know.”<br />
That made both of them giggle. “Oh yeah, I can totally understand<br />
that,” Jen said.<br />
“It’s kind of a private thing. Anyway, you’ll keep this to yourself,<br />
won’t you? I don’t mind sharing with you, but Malcolm’s kind<br />
of bashful about it, and he’d be utterly mortified if anyone knew<br />
about his thing.”<br />
Jen promised Sandi she would never tell a soul. While getting<br />
up the gumption to confess her own secret interest, she pressed<br />
Sandi some more. ”You know, I never guessed you’d like that sort<br />
of thing.<br />
“Huh? Who says I like it?”<br />
Jen was puzzled. “But, but, . . . You must get something out of<br />
it, right?”<br />
“I get a sore butt out of it, if that’s what you mean.”<br />
Seeing her friend’s puzzlement, Sandi continued. “Maybe it<br />
sounds like a fun sexy game to you, but there is nothing fun about<br />
getting a spanking. Not the way Malcolm likes to do it. <strong>Get</strong>ting<br />
spanked hurts.”<br />
Interpreting Jen’s look as concern, she continued, “Don’t get me<br />
wrong. It hurts, but I can definitely deal with it. Don’t worry, I’m<br />
not getting abused, out anything like that. Malcolm is a mensch.<br />
He would never really hurt me. You know that.”<br />
Jen nodded. “Yeah, I know. Even so,” she added, “if you don’t<br />
like it, why do you put up with it?”<br />
“It’s hard to explain, Jen.” Sandi paused reflectively. “I love Malcolm<br />
completely. He such a wonderful and considerate husband.<br />
I just want to do what I can for him. It makes Malcolm so happy<br />
when he spanks me, I just can’t say no to him. It’s almost worth<br />
it just to see that big silly grin on his face! Not to mention that he
gets totally turned on by it.” Sandi grinned sheepishly. “So what if<br />
he likes to whack my behind now and then. I can deal with it, and<br />
I still think I’m getting the better part of the deal. Does that make<br />
any sense to you?”<br />
“Yeah, it kind of does,” Jen said.<br />
Sandi finished her drink, stood up, and wrapped her arms<br />
around Jen.. “I’m so glad you found out, Jen. It’s such a relief<br />
to be able to share this with someone else. Sometimes it feels really<br />
weird to have a secret like that. Ready to go? We are late enough,<br />
and I don’t want to keep Malcolm waiting any longer.”<br />
“You are late, young lady.” Malcolm was smiling when they<br />
arrived at the house. He reached around to squeeze his wife’s bottom,<br />
while giving her a kiss.<br />
Greeting Jen, he said, “How have you been, Jen?” giving her a<br />
chaste hug as he did so.<br />
“Pretty good, Malcolm. Sorry we’re late,” Jen said.<br />
“No big deal. You girls get your cute butts over to the table. The<br />
spinach casserole’s been cooling for a while, so you might want to<br />
give it a bit of a nuke before serving it. Help yourself to some rolls.<br />
I’m about to take the chicken out. Jen, is Cabernet OK?”<br />
Malcolm’s cooking was always a treat, and this time was no exception.<br />
After dinner, while Malcolm and Sandi cleaned up in the<br />
kitchen, Jen (whose polite offer to help was turned down) wandered<br />
with her second glass of wine into the living room. On the<br />
coffee table was the same hairbrush in the grainy photo on Sandi’s<br />
phone.<br />
Jen picked up the brush. It felt surprisingly heavy. The bristles<br />
were stiff. She traced her fingers across the wood grain on its flat<br />
81<br />
side. “So Malcolm is going to smack this across Sandi’s backside,”<br />
she thought. She felt squirmy just thinking about it.<br />
“Would you like your drink topped off?” Sandi popped her head<br />
around the entryway from the kitchen. “Ah. I see you found the<br />
toy.” She came over with the wine bottle and emptied the remainder<br />
into Jen’s glass and her own. She sat next to Jen on the sofa. “A<br />
bit scary looking, don’t you think?” she whispered conspiratorially<br />
“Is he really going to, you know, spank you with it? For real?”<br />
Jen said in a hushed voice.<br />
“Oh yeah, definitely. Probably right after you leave.” Sandi<br />
looked serious. “Because there’s a reason, you see. When he puts it<br />
out on the table, it’s his way of letting me know I’m getting it for a<br />
reason. Malcolm absolutely loves it when he has a reason to spank<br />
me. He says it makes it so much more real, you know, when it’s<br />
about being punished.”<br />
“Oh.” Jen gulped, then said, “So, what’s the reason now?”<br />
Sandi smiled. “Remember, we were way late leaving the bar.<br />
And I didn’t even text.” She winked at Jen. “It’s been weeks since<br />
there’s been a good reason for a spanking. So I figured I’d arrange<br />
a good one for tonight. Clever, no? My hubby deserves a special<br />
treat! And he even gets to use the new toy on me too. The poor<br />
man will think he’s died and gone to heaven.”<br />
Sandi took a sip from her glass. “Of course,” she said ruefully,<br />
“I wont feel so clever when I’m getting my bottom blistered. Ah,<br />
well,” she signed, “that’s what we put up with for love, isn’t it?<br />
Mamma said that even a happy marriage comes with its share of<br />
pain. Though I don’t think getting smacked with a big old hairbrush<br />
is precisely what she meant.”<br />
Jen hefted the brush. What would a swat from this feel like, she<br />
wondered. “I can’t believe you’d put yourself through this, Sandi.<br />
You hate pain. You even scream when you rip off a band-aid.”<br />
“Yeah, I know! Its weird. You know,” she added, “when Mal-
colm first wanted to spank me, right after the wedding, first I was<br />
like ‘absolutely no way, mister!’ But he so was eager, like a big<br />
puppy dog, I just had to give in. So I told him OK, but only if<br />
it doesn’t hurt. Just little love taps on my butt. It didn’t work,<br />
though.”<br />
“What do you mean, didn’t work?”<br />
“Malcolm says the point of a spanking is to make an impression.<br />
He wants to know I can feel it. He wants to see me jump and<br />
squirm after each spank. He wants it to feel real. So I’d lay there<br />
and pretend it really really hurt. I’d carry on and scream stuff like<br />
‘Oh Malcolm, stop it, I can’t take it anymore.’ ”<br />
Sandi emptied her wine glass. “But you know I’m no actress. It<br />
was fake stuff, and I wasn’t fooling him a bit. It was always such a<br />
disappointment for him, and you know I felt real bad about it. So<br />
finally I just said to him ‘OK guy, I can tell this is no fun for you,<br />
and I want to make you happy. So just go ahead and spank for real,<br />
and let’s see what happens.’ ”<br />
“Wow,” was all Jen could think to say.<br />
“Uh huh. Now when I get a spanking, I cry and kick my heels,<br />
and believe me it is a very authentic experience. It is a real ordeal,<br />
and my butt is always burning the rest of the day. Of course, Malcolm<br />
thinks its all great fun, silly man.”<br />
“What’s great fun, dear?” Sandi and Jen looked up to see Malcolm<br />
standing at the entryway, arms crossed on his chest.<br />
“Oh, hi honey! I didn’t see you there. I was telling Jen about,<br />
um, our bowling nights. With the Hendersons, you know. How<br />
you enjoy it so much.”<br />
“It sounded to me, Sandi, as if you were telling Jen about our<br />
little secret. The secret you promised you would never tell anyone<br />
about.”<br />
“Malcolm, I, I . . . I didn’t mean to. One thing led to another, and<br />
. . . ” Malcolm came to her side, took her hands, and pulled her into<br />
82<br />
a tight embrace.<br />
“I thought we were going to keep this our little secret.”<br />
“I know!” She buried her head into his shoulder. “But Malcolm,<br />
this is Jen, our oldest friend. Maid of honor at our wedding. She’s<br />
perfectly fine about it. You know we can trust her.”<br />
“Yes,” he said eventually. “I know she would never tell a soul,”<br />
he said, looking straight at Jen.<br />
Jen shook her head. “No, no, of course not.” She made a gesture<br />
of zipping her lips.<br />
“Can you forgive me?” Sandi asked.<br />
“Of course I’m going to forgive you, sweet cheeks.”<br />
At this point Jen excused herself and went to the bathroom. On<br />
her return, her friends were on the sofa, Sandi sitting on Malcolm<br />
lap, nestled into his broad shoulders.<br />
“Maybe I’d better be going,” Jen started weakly, but Sandi interrupted,<br />
“Oh no, Jen, please stay! We were going to watch that Iron<br />
Man DVD; you are welcome to join us. Or we could play a board<br />
game, if you prefer. Or whatever else you’d like to do.”<br />
“You’re not fooling me, dear. Jen, now that you know our little<br />
secret, you might as well know that my wife is scheduled to get her<br />
cute little bottom paddled just as soon as we say our goodbyes.”<br />
Malcolm grinned at Jen. “Sandi’s just trying to put it her ordeal off<br />
as long as she can.”<br />
“Sheesh, Malcolm. I am just trying to be hospitable to our guest<br />
and dearest friend,” Sandi said.<br />
“Hmm. I think I know how to solve two problems at once,”<br />
Malcolm said. “Now that you know all about what we get up to,<br />
Jen . . . perhaps you’d like to stick around and see how my lovely<br />
wife gets herself spanked.”<br />
Sandi perked up. “What? Dear, I’m sure Jen has absolutely no<br />
interest in seeing you paddle me. Right, Jen?”<br />
Before Jen could respond, Malcolm said, “After hearing all about
it from Sandi, you must be curious to see her get a good bare bottom<br />
smacking.”<br />
“Well, um, I guess I’m kind of a little curious,” Jen admitted. She<br />
felt herself blush scarlet; she hoped her friends wouldn’t notice.<br />
“Are you two serious?” Sandi said. “I mean, getting a spanking<br />
right in front of someone else, even Jen . . . I don’t know about<br />
that.”<br />
“I’m sure Jen won’t mind seeing your bare butt spanked,” Malcolm<br />
replied, managing to miss Sandi’s point. “You two were<br />
roommates together for years. She’s seen it all, haven’t you, Jen?”<br />
“That’s true enough,” Jen admitted. “I’ve seen Sandi in all sorts<br />
of embarrassing situations. Hey, remember that time when you got<br />
completely wasted at some party, and you threw up all over your<br />
little black dress. . . ”<br />
“Ugh, please don’t remind me of that.”<br />
Jen continued, “She threw up in the bathroom and nearly passed<br />
out. I had to peel her clothes off, stick her in the shower to rinse all<br />
the barf off, and then put her to bed. So I’ve seen her at her worst.<br />
Isn’t that right Sandi?”<br />
“Oh thank you very much for bringing back that memory. You<br />
are such a good friend, you little twerp.”<br />
“Well, that settles it, Jen is your oldest friend, and I know you<br />
two have no secrets. I’d love to have Jen stay and watch the show.<br />
Don’t you agree, dear?”<br />
“Oh, all right dear, if you want her to stay.” Sandi sighed.<br />
“Pull up a seat, Jen, and get ready for the Sandi-kicks-and-screams<br />
show.”<br />
Jen did as Sandi suggested, eagerly choosing a chair with a good<br />
view of the couch where Malcolm and Sandi were sitting.<br />
Sandi wriggled around from her sitting on Malcolm lap, until<br />
she was lying on her tummy. “I guess I’m ready, honey.”<br />
Malcolm patted the round skirt-covered bottom perched in front<br />
83<br />
of him. “Not so fast, dear. Remember, this spanking comes with<br />
a reason. You were late, and you didn’t text or call. That’s an automatic<br />
spanking in this house. We won’t even get into how you<br />
blabbed everything to Jen. You know the drill.”<br />
“Aw, honey! Do I really have to do that?” Sandi whined.<br />
“I insist dear.”<br />
“Oh, all right.” She stood up, and stood in front of him. She<br />
clutched her skirt nervously. Glancing at Jen, she said, “This is just<br />
a little playacting thing we do. Malcolm really likes the realism. It<br />
makes me feel pretty self conscious, though. Ugh.”<br />
Malcolm unbuttoned the cuff of his right sleeve, and turned it<br />
up to his elbow. “We’re waiting dear.”<br />
“Um, yeah. Here goes.” Sandi cleared her throat; her next words<br />
were in a childlike voice. “Sir, I’ve been a bad girl.”<br />
“Tell me what you’ve done, young lady.”<br />
“Welllll.” She twisted the hem of her skirt in her hand as she<br />
spoke. “I was late getting home, even though we had a time set for<br />
dinner. And I forgot to call or text and stuff.”<br />
“That was very thoughtless of you, wasn’t it? You can be such a<br />
silly girl sometimes.”<br />
“Uh huh.” As a whispered aside to Jen, she added, “This is part<br />
of the game, you see. You know I didn’t really forget . . . ”<br />
“Sandra Michelle!” He surprised Sandi with his vehemence.<br />
“You are in enough trouble as it is.” He cracked his knuckles. “Tell<br />
me what happens a naughty girl, Sandi.”<br />
“Um . . . she gets spanked.” Pause. “On the bottom.” A longer<br />
pause. “Bare bottom. Sir.”<br />
“Correct, Sandi. Now, panties down please.”<br />
Sandi grimaced as she reached under the hem of her dark blue<br />
knee length skirt. She shimmied her panties down; they settled in<br />
a bunch just above her knees. She waddled over to Malcolm, lifted<br />
her skirt, and draped herself over his knees. She reached out to
steady herself against the carpet.<br />
Without any pause, he delivered a couple of firm stinging<br />
smacks to each of the upturned buttocks.<br />
“Oof!” she grunted. “You really enjoy taking me by surprise,<br />
don’t you.” She kicked her toes against the carpet as Malcolm<br />
spanked the fleshy swell of her bottom. “Ugh! You are such a bastard.”<br />
“Yes, dear,” Malcolm said. “It’s true, I am a real bastard when it<br />
comes to punishing my naughty little wife.” He grinned. “Watch<br />
closely, Jen. You’ll see Sandi change her tune.”<br />
“Oh lord,” Sandi groaned, “why do men always think everything<br />
is a game they have to win? Oowwoww.”<br />
Malcolm was spanking harder and faster, delivering a sound<br />
spank every couple of seconds to some part of her rear. Jen<br />
watched transfixed. Her friend’s bottom-cheeks were crowned by<br />
a prominent fleshy swell. Jen was fascinated by the way the jiggled<br />
and rebounded after each swat, and she leaned in to her a<br />
better view.<br />
Jen own butt tingled as she imagined what such a punishment<br />
must feel like on her own bottom. Sandi’s reaction suggested that it<br />
must hurt quite a bit; she was now crying out softly after every few<br />
spanks, and occasionally her bare feet pounded a tattoo against the<br />
floor.<br />
Still, it was clear Sandi was holding up. Soon Malcolm stopped<br />
spanking, and began to caress his wife’s bottom. Jen figured the<br />
show was over now.<br />
“Aaah, that feels sooo nice. Mmmm.” Sandi sighed, and let her<br />
body go limp, while he rubbed her bottom for several minutes.<br />
“That’s the stuff. You can just keep doing that all night, mister.”<br />
Jen began to think this was the appropriate time to excuse herself.<br />
Until Malcolm said, “This is just the interlude, dear.”<br />
“Oh, hush you. I don’t want to hear about that right now,” said<br />
84<br />
the spanked wife, still draped over her husband’s lap. “That was<br />
plenty enough.”<br />
“No can do, love. You know the rules. Could you get me that<br />
brush, Jen?” Malcolm asked.<br />
“Please? Can’t we save the brush for some other time?” Sandi<br />
said.<br />
Jen handed over the brush, and he gently pressed the flat side of<br />
the brush against Sandi’s pinkened cheeks.<br />
“Oh! Cold!” Sandi exclaimed. “Ugh. I am really going to regret<br />
getting that brush for you.”<br />
“I sure hope so. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.” He lightly<br />
tapped her bottom with the brush. “Ready for the main course,<br />
sweet cheeks?”<br />
“No! You see, Jen? My husband is evil. Evil! Of course I’m not<br />
ready, you cruel man. But that doesn’t bother you a bit!”<br />
“That’s right love. Pure concentrated evil, and you married me.”<br />
Malcolm gripped the brush in his right hand. “Watch carefully, Jen,<br />
and see what effect our new toy has on this naughty minx. Hand,<br />
dear.”<br />
At this, Sandi reached back with her left arm, which Malcolm<br />
grabbed at the wrist and pinned at the small of her back. “I have a<br />
tendency to struggle,” Sandi explained sheepishly.<br />
“She used to be worse,” Malcolm said. “Now it takes a real<br />
whacking to make her jump. After all the spankings shes had,<br />
Sandi’s built up a cast iron butt.”<br />
“Oh, what a lovely thought, dear. That makes me feel sooo sexy.”<br />
Malcolm grinned. “You know I adore your beautiful behind,” he<br />
said, squeezing her bottom cheeks as he spoke.<br />
“Hmmph,” was all Sandi could say.<br />
With that Malcolm lifted the brush and smacked across his wife’s<br />
bottom with a quick flick of the wrist. The impact resounded with<br />
a crack, and Sandi’s bottom jiggled at the impact.
Malcolm peppered Sandi’s backside with rapid-fire swats of the<br />
brush. The swats, delivered with a quick snap of the wrist, did not<br />
seem very harsh to Jen, yet she could see that Sandi reacted with<br />
increasing alarm. On the first swat, Sandi gasped audibly. After<br />
the next few, she kicked back her heels. Then a plaintive moan,<br />
followed by cries of “Oh . . . oh . . . . oh my god.” After receiving<br />
several smacks in succession at the top of her thighs, she squealed<br />
and kicked her heels again.<br />
“Feeling this, dear?” Malcolm asked, even as he continued to<br />
swat her quivering cheeks.<br />
“Holy shit, it stings! Yeeow. It stings like hell!”<br />
“Excellent. I’m glad you’re enjoying this dear. I know I am.<br />
Thank you, dear. This brush is such a lovely gift.”<br />
“Oh, fuck you!” Sandi shouted amid the swats, to which she was<br />
now involuntarily wriggling.<br />
“Language, dear,” Malcolm said. “You know that’s not acceptable.”<br />
He lifted the brush high this time, and cracked it down hard<br />
on Sandi’s left buttock. Sandi squealed. Nineteen more deliberate<br />
and full force swats were applied to Sandi’s buttocks in alternation.<br />
Sandi yowled and bucked, and strained against Malcolm’s tight<br />
hold on her. Jen was a little frightened at the vehemence of Sandi’s<br />
reaction. After the last swat, Sandi sobbed, and Jen could see tears<br />
streaking her face.<br />
“That’s all, sweet. We’re done now.” Malcolm tossed the brush<br />
on the floor, and gathered his sobbing wife into his embrace. Sandi<br />
cried into his shoulder. “There, there, he said, you did beautifully.<br />
That was a really hard spanking, and you took it well. I am so<br />
proud of you. You are such a brave girl.”<br />
“Uh huh. I am a very sore girl, you mean,” she said, wiping<br />
her eyes with her sleeve. “And a stupid girl, for getting you that<br />
brush. Those last ones were real scorchers. I can still feel them.”<br />
She sniffled. “I hope you enjoyed yourself.”<br />
85<br />
“Oh, I did. Simply incredible. And you were incredible too.<br />
Sweets,” he whispered, barely audibly enough for Jen to hear it,<br />
cradling her head in his hand, “I am so constantly amazed that you<br />
put up with my strange tastes. I am so blessed that I’m married to<br />
such a generous wife. I know I can’t possibly deserve it. I love you,<br />
sweet cheeks.”<br />
“I love you too, evil bastard.” They kissed passionately.<br />
Feeling awkward at being a spectator at such an intimate moment,<br />
Jen picked up the brush from the floor, stood up, and wandered<br />
to the other side of the room. She examined the brush, running<br />
her fingers across the back, wondering what kind of damage<br />
such an implement might do to her own chubby cheeks.<br />
Jen became aware that the whispered conversation of her married<br />
friends was becoming heated. Still she was startled when Malcolm<br />
asked her, “Is this really true, Jen?”<br />
“What’s true?”<br />
“What my wife says. That you peeked at our private cellphone<br />
messages.”<br />
“Oh, uh, yeah. Uh huh. But I didn’t mean to snoop. It just kind<br />
of happened.”<br />
“That was naughty of you, Jen,” he said.<br />
“It was. I’m really very sorry,” Jen said.<br />
“I have an idea,” Sandi said brightly. “I think Jen needs a spanking,<br />
too! Don’t you agree, dear?”<br />
Jen was wide eyed. “What?! You have got to be kidding, right?”<br />
“Why would I kid, Jen? If I can take one, you can too. And you<br />
totally deserve it.”<br />
“Sandi, are you sure about this?” Malcolm asked.<br />
“We’re just talking about a little bottom smacking among<br />
friends. You haven’t worn out your arm yet. I know that from<br />
experience. And I know you want to.” Jen could see that it was<br />
true. Malcolm was excited by the idea.
“Hey, were you ever spanked growing up?” Sandi asked Jen<br />
suddenly.<br />
“Um, no,” Jen said cautiously. “Never ever been spanked.” It<br />
was true. As much as she’d imagined it, she had never even admitted<br />
her fascination to anyone.<br />
“Then I’ll bet you’re curious to find out what its like.” Sandi<br />
got up from her husband’s lap, smoothing her skirt down, while<br />
kicking off the flimsy panties that still clung at one ankle. Taking<br />
a stunned Jen by the hand, she led her to the sofa where Malcolm<br />
was sitting. “You’ve been a bad girl, Jen. So this is a spanking with<br />
a reason. You can’t get away from a reason-spanking. Anyway,”<br />
she added, “it’d be real nice not to be one getting spanked for a<br />
change.”<br />
Jen’s heart palpitated as she stood in front of Malcolm. Surely<br />
this was all just a joke, she thought. Sandi was having fun at her<br />
expense, but surely Malcolm would have nothing to do with it.<br />
The idea his large hands would not strike her bottom was strangely<br />
disappointing.<br />
“Well, Jen.” Malcolm cleared his throat. “It seems my sweet<br />
darling wife has asked me to provide you with a sound spanking.<br />
And I have to agree that you deserve one. But,” he added, “only if<br />
you’re willing, Jen. This is up to you. Okay?”<br />
She was scared, yet excited beyond belief. If it had been anyone<br />
else making the offer, she would have backed away. But she<br />
figured she could trust Malcolm.<br />
“Okay,” Jen gulped.<br />
“You’re sure?” Malcolm asked again. “Once we start, there’s no<br />
going back.”<br />
Jen nodded.<br />
“Well then. Pants down young lady, and prepare to be spanked.”<br />
In a daze, Jen unsnapped her slacks and wriggled them down<br />
over her hips. Jen gave Malcolm her hand, and he guided her<br />
86<br />
over his lap. He sat back on the couch, so that she could lay her<br />
more ample frame on the couch, rather than suspend herself precariously<br />
over his knee as Sandi had. Draped across his lap, her<br />
face was pressed into the sofa cushion, while her panty-clad bottom<br />
was turned up smartly over his knee. She was aware that her<br />
backside was not one to draw stares, unlike Sandi’s; Jen’s buttocks<br />
were broad and a bit chubby, without the ostentatious curvy swells<br />
of Sandi’s.<br />
“Lift up your hips, Jen.” Malcolm commanded. Compliantly she<br />
did so. “Sandi, would you like to do the honors?” Though she was<br />
sort of expecting it, Jen squealed as Sandi unceremoniously tugged<br />
Jen’s panties down.<br />
Sandi sat down gingerly in the seat vacated by Jen. “Ready to<br />
find out what a spanking is all about, Jen? Honey, don’t forget to<br />
take her wrist.”<br />
“How could I forget.” Malcolm gripped Jen’s arm just as he had<br />
his wife’s. “Are you ready for your first spanking ever, Jen? It’s<br />
going to be a real one, just like Sandi got. I know Sandi wont be<br />
satisfied with anything less.”<br />
Perched precariously over Malcolm’s knee, Jen began to have<br />
second thoughts. “Um, I don’t know if I’m ready. Maybe you better<br />
go easy on me.”<br />
Sandi laughed. “Oh, don’t be a baby, Jen. Need any help keeping<br />
her in place, hun?” Sandi asked.<br />
“I’ll let you know, dear,” Malcolm said.<br />
Jen felt embarrassed to be the subject of discussion by her<br />
friends, especially as she was bare-assed and about to be spanked.<br />
Well, this is what I’ve been waiting for all my life, she thought. I’m<br />
going to get spanked just like a naughty child.<br />
Jen heard the first smack an instant before she felt it, and she<br />
squealed. “Ow! That hurts!” More spanks targeted her bottom,<br />
and she squealed again. “Oh, oh, oh,” she cried. She beat her feet
uselessly against the sofa cushion.<br />
“See, that’s what a spanking feels like, Jen,” Sandi cheered from<br />
the sidelines. “Hurts, doesn’t it?”<br />
“Ow, ow, it does!” Jen cried plaintively. She squirmed and<br />
kicked her feet as Malcolm spanked every part of her fleshy behind.<br />
She was dimly aware of Malcolm’s erection pressing into her<br />
hip, but that was the least of her concerns right now.<br />
After a few minutes of spanking, Sandi said “Don’t forget to try<br />
this!” Sandi handed the hairbrush to Malcolm, who paused to accept<br />
it.<br />
“Oh no no no no,” Jen cried. “Please don’t use that. My butt is<br />
so sore already, isn’t that enough?”<br />
“Now now Jen,” Malcolm said, ”I realize this is your first spanking<br />
ever. But you were very naughty, snooping on our private conversations<br />
like that. You have to pay the price. I think a couple<br />
dozen swats will do the job.<br />
Before Jen had a chance to answer, Malcolm began smacking her<br />
bare bottom with the brush. She was not prepared for the new<br />
sensation. Each swat stung a different part of her bottom, and the<br />
cumulative effect began to overwhelm her.<br />
“Oh, oh,” she cried. “Ooooh, it burns! Owwwwie.” She bucked<br />
and weaved in a fruitless attempt to avoid the spanks. Malcolm’s<br />
firm grip made it impossible to escape; the man was stronger than<br />
he looked. She pedaled her feet uselessly against the cushion, until<br />
she bent her knees double, so that her feet interfered with Malcolm<br />
efforts.<br />
“Dear?” Malcolm said to his wife, who came over, grabbed Jen’s<br />
ankles, and held them down on the sofa. “Now Jen, take your<br />
spanking like a good girl.” He applied a half dozen smacks to her<br />
thighs, which made her squeal. “That was extra. You’ll get that<br />
again if you cause more trouble, miss.”<br />
Jen tried not to struggle as Malcolm paddled her for another<br />
87<br />
minute. He ended with a hard full force swat to each cheek. “Yeoww!”<br />
She cried.<br />
Then it was over, and Jen was allowed to sit up; she sat hunched<br />
on the couch between Malcolm and Sandi, her pants and panties<br />
still around her knees. Sandi handed her a box of tissues; she<br />
wiped her eyes and blew her nose heavily.<br />
“For a first spanking, you took that very well,” Malcolm said.<br />
Sandi added, “Yep. Though he went pretty easy on you; I’ve<br />
gotten used to much worse.”<br />
“That didn’t feel easy to me,” Jen said, sniffling. “I must be black<br />
and blue.”<br />
“I think we need to have a comparison. Come on, ladies, present<br />
those cute bottoms for inspection.”<br />
Sandi jumped up, flipped her skirt up, and bent over with her<br />
hands on her knees. Reluctantly, Jen bent over too. “Jen’s bottom<br />
is nicely red all over,” Malcolm said, “but Sandi’s is even more red,<br />
and she has got some nice solid bruises. I’d say that brush is quite<br />
effective, wouldn’t you dear?”<br />
“Oh, my, yes. I’ll be feeling this one for a while.”<br />
The girls compared each others bottoms with the help of a mirror,<br />
and Jen obligingly oohed and aahed over the state of Sandi’s<br />
butt.<br />
They sat and chatted amiably for a few minutes more, as though<br />
this was an ordinary dinner party. Jen wriggled uncomfortably<br />
in her seat, occasionally rubbing at her bottom, which was now<br />
clothed again.<br />
Finally, it was time to say goodbyes. Malcolm gave her a chaste<br />
hug, and if he was still sporting a hard-on, Jen could not tell. Jen<br />
gave him a peck on the cheek and politely said “Thanks for an . . .<br />
interesting evening.”<br />
“It was great fun, wasn’t it? I hope we’ll see you again soon,”<br />
Malcolm replied, looking Jen in the eye. Jen, not quite able to re-
turn his gaze, mumbled a promise to be back soon.<br />
Sandi walked with her to her car. “Thank you, Jen, for putting<br />
up with all that. It wasn’t much fun, I know, but it was very brave<br />
of you to go through with it.”<br />
“Well, you guys seemed to enjoy yourselves,” Jen replied.<br />
“I wouldn’t say that, exactly. Malcolm loved every second of<br />
it, of course. But it’s a bit of a chore for me.” She looked and Jen.<br />
“You know I am completely love with Malcolm, and I would never<br />
refuse him anything that makes him happy. But getting paddled<br />
on a regular basis gets pretty tedious after a while. It was so nice<br />
to have a partner in suffering tonight. And I know Malcolm was<br />
happy to have a whole brand new bottom to spank.”<br />
Sandi drew closer and whispered in Jen’s ear. “There are compensations,<br />
you know. After he tans my backside, Malcolm gets<br />
quite . . . affectionate. I don’t want to rush you on your way, but,<br />
you know . . . ” She giggled.<br />
“No problem, I absolutely get it,” Jen replied, eager to be on her<br />
way. “See you later, Sandi.”<br />
“Hope to see you back soon, Jen.”<br />
Jen settled gingerly in her car and drove off. Two blocks away,<br />
she parked in a deserted side alley, and stopped the engine. When<br />
the dome light switched off a minute later, she stuck her hand inside<br />
her panties, which were damp with arousal. Rubbing furiously<br />
at her clit, she imagined herself over again over Malcolm’s<br />
lap, pinned tight in his grip, bottom quivering at his blows, as<br />
she struggled impotently to escape her punishment. She ground<br />
against her fingers until she collapsed in a great shuddering wave.<br />
Then again, and again.<br />
Breathless and spent, and she lolled back against the seat, unable<br />
to move. Her first real spanking! It was far more intense and arous-<br />
88<br />
ing than she had ever imagined, even in her wildest fantasies. She<br />
wondered how soon she could wangle another invitation to dinner<br />
with Sandi and Malcolm.
