Dragonfly Diary 1: A Rush to Judgment

By

Dragonfly <dragonflyz999@yahoo.com>

Mark had just entered his parents' home to check it while they were on vacation, when he heard his brother's Kawasaki screech into the driveway. Kerry was going to kill himself on that thing one day. Then the door flew open and Kerry bolted for the bathroom. Mark shook his head in disgust, noting that he didn't get so much as a hello from the kid.

His brother emerged, grunted "Hey, bro," then headed to their father's den. Mark followed to give him shit for not removing his boots and heard him on the phone.

"I'll meet you at The Pit in an hour."

The Pit was a notorious gay bar in the seamiest part of town. He wondered why Kerry and his partner would be going to a place like that!

"Ramon is taking you to that sordid joint? I thought he had loftier standards."

Kerry was swigging bourbon out of the bottle on the desk and remarked casually that Ramon was away on business. Mark had a feeling that there was trouble between them by the huge chip both were sporting on their shoulders.

Mark looked at his younger half-brother and pictured the scene: Kerry resembled his Asian mother, small, slender, long black hair and large almond eyes set with impossibly thick lashes. He would be raw meat at The Pit.

"You're not driving after that bourbon. I'll take you home and you stay put."

"Fuck you." Kerry snapped with a sly grin, and turned on his heel.

His older brother snapped also and grabbed him by the arm, twisting it behind his back, then bent him across the desk. Mark had never accepted disrespect from the brat. Kerry struggled, cursing him, while Mark reached under his body to undo the tight jeans. He had to practically peel them down and real exasperation gripped him when he saw the sexy thong. The image of his wild, reckless brother drunk, stripped down to a thong and gyrating on the bar flashed through his mind.

Mark took the frat paddle off the wall behind them and walloped the tanned orbs wiggling to get away from him. No reaction. Kerry had toughened up! That's right, he remembered that Ramon often spanked the kid to keep him in line. So Mark put all his considerable strength into slapping that bottom over and over, until Kerry started to sob. That was the time to talk sense to him.

"Are you going home without an argument?"

Kerry sniffled and nodded, then whimpered like he did as a child when Mark would discipline him.

"Go stand in that corner while I make some phone calls."

The boy obediently shuffled over and stood face against the wall, still crying. Mark sat at his father's desk, admiring the crimson glow on Kerry's butt, while he told his wife he would be bringing his little brother home for dinner. Kerry groaned, knowing his embarrassment would be obvious when he couldn't sit at the table.

The End

What an interesting twist on the usual themes. I enjoyed the interplay between the two brothers, and the fact that the spanking was done out of brotherly concern, in addition to punishment. Good work!

A Rush to Judgment has a straightforward plotline (young man goes astray and gets punished), but the dynamic between the two characters is really unusual. Nice descriptive language throughout, and a classic spanko ending to top it off.

A good beginning to quite possibly an interesting story, but that's what it feels like, a beginning of a longer piece. Nicely written, just doesn't fit the requirements of the ssc (a pretty much self-contained short story).

There's something almost reassuring and comforting about the path this story takes - the seemingly self-assured and grown-up younger brother revealed to need (?) and want (?) this sort of discipline, ending the story a very different person from the one that began it. Some nice characterisation, too, which seems to reveal part of a larger, interesting world.
