I stand at the pier, watching the sea, and
waiting for the ship to
come. The waves are washing off the island.
A week has passed...
And I can't help but think of everything that happened. Of all the
events that made a no-problem trip to market blow up in a full-scale
rush to save the world - or was that really the world that we saved?
Suddenly, I am not so sure. Maybe that all we did was to preserve our
lives, and lives of everybody else. No, I don't think I fought for the
world.
I fought for the girls, yes, but that is not the full truth, either.
They could live on their own.
I fought for...
Yes. I nod to myself. I fought so there could be time like this again.
I fought for the ordinary days.
Ordinary Days, Part I
"Everything packed?" asked Max.
I turned towards him. "Everything? What do you mean? We didn't have
anything in the first place!"
He shrugged. "The things in the house, I mean. Or does Soot want to...
leave it as it is?"
"I'm not moving away, you know," said Soot. She sounded fairly annoyed.
"This is my home. I just... don't want to split from you. Not yet."
"Yeah!" squealed Rosey. "And you better remember that!"
Max sighed. "Oh? I see she already takes after you."
Rosey laughed, while Soot grinned sheepishly...
Rosey's mother is dead. She died not two weeks ago and we all know that
- except for Rosey, it seems. Raia messed with her mind somehow, so she
wouldn't think about it. I start to have doubts if that was wise. To
see a recently orphaned girl that cheerful... It's kinda scary.
Speaking of Raia...
Merta came out of the house. She held Raia's hand.
Oh yes, Raia. Also, oh-so-cheerful one. Rosey adopted her as a little
sister right away. Merta plays her mother. But I...
I look into her eyes, and I can't but wonder: Is this all she is? A
little girl, no older than five by any reasonable account? Or is
there... something else? Something lurking beyond those brown eyes?
And if there is...
"Do you think about killing her?"
I jumped. Grace was looking at me.
From all of us, perhaps Grace has changed the most. From a severly
abused maid she became a cheerful girl with some wacky ideas... but the
darkness caught up with her now, and she hardly ever smiles. She has
found a friend and relative in Mrs. Tain, and she lost it all again.
And, yes, she got the... power.
"What?" I turned to her. "What are you talking about?"
"The Queen is not dead," said Grace. "You know that. Geomancy still
exists. And once before, the Queen welled up from Raia and almost
destroyed the world. Right now, though, she's a helpless child..."
I grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "You will not - ever - say that
again! She's an innocent child! I couldn't..."
"Maybe that's what the Queen counts on," said Grace. "That you wouldn't
harm a child."
I planted a sharp smack on her rear. "Don't say that! I mean it!"
Grace sighed. "I'm sorry. I just get... these ideas nowadays."
A week ago, I would buster her bottom for much less dangerous talking.
I guess we all changed, huh?
And so I stand on the pier now. I want to go home, to my village. I
want to see my parents again. I want to see Mr. Geyr. I want to... yes,
I even want to see Greta. She's the most obnoxious and snotty girl I've
ever met, but I desperately want to see her, just to know that some
things haven't changed.
And of course, Max is here, too. With his cart full of spanking
implements. With some surprise, I noticed that he is making a paddle
from a piece of wood.
"So you are going with us?" I ask.
He nods. "Of course. You know, maybe I'm getting too old for this. I
should settle down."
"In my village? Mr. Geyr would have a competitor!" I smirk. Of course,
we both known why he is going, but we don't say it.
We just smirk, knowingly, as guys do.
And the ship is sailing in now, and our journey home begins.
One of the things I don't know is whether Merta still has geomantic
powers. We talked a lot since then, but she always shuts up when I
start about it. As far as I know, she didn't even try to do any
Geomancy. She doesn't want to know if she still possesses the power.
Meeting Raia and the Queen made her stronger - but she also had to
encounter things she never wanted to. Grace, well... she definitely HAS
the power, but she, too, uses it sparsely. She says that she doesn't
want to "attract attention", but she won't say whether she means other
peoples' or the Queen's. And I'm, well, not asking her.
Everyone has issues, so I went to talk with the one person who didn't
seem to have any.
"What do you think?" I asked her.
"About what?"
"Linda, come on. About everything that happened."
We were standing in her cabin. She shared it with Grace, but Grace
wasn't in for now. I bunked with Max, May with Merta and Raia and Soot
had her own cabin with Rosey.
"Well, it was the most interesting thing that happened to me. Ever,"
she said with a smile.
"Oh..."
"I was a cat for most of my life. That gets old after a while. Now I'm
better off."
"At least someone thinks that," I said. "Everyone is... well, they
don't seem happy."
"You don't, either, Zack."
"Maybe I worry about the future too much."
"What's there to worry about?" Linda laughed. "You have Merta! You'll
have lots of kids! There's no need to worry!"
Despite myself, I laughed. "When you say it, it sounds so... simple."
"Well, it is!"
"We have to get married first," I said.
"Oh? And... what's that?"
How to explain? "Well, it's done to tell all other people that we
belong together. So noone else would try to, uh... have kids with
either of us."
I half-dreaded another innocent "Why?" but it didn't come. Instead,
Linda nodded. "I see. Because you found the best girl already, right?"
"Yes. Like that."
"Maybe I could marry, too?" wondered Linda aloud. "I mean, I want some
kids. They would laugh all day... They would play with me... I would
spank them if they were bad..."
"Oh?" I teased. "So you want kids so you could spank them?"
"That's just a side-effect," she answered promptly. Too promptly. She
had to talk about this with someone before.
"Thank you," I said.
"For what?"
"That you can still make me laugh."
"They will get out of it," said Linda. "Everybody has a reason to be
sad, right? Besides - at least they are not up to anything naughty,
right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, since the fight, everybody stayed on their best behaviour! Noone
earned a spanking for a whole week - not even May! That must be a kind
of record for her!"
Heh. Still a cat, deep inside. Loves to tease.
"You know," I sighed, "I would prefer them to be cheerful. Even if they
became naughty again."
"I see," grinned Linda. "You are missing the spankings!"
I flushed. "No! I... I mean..."
"You can't fool me!" pouted Linda. "My nose tells me everything. You
like to put them over your knee, take their panties down..."
"OK, you have a point," I interrupted her. "But the point is that I
don't act on those feelings! I don't spank anyone unless she's OK with
that and agrees that a spanking is what she needs!"
"How about Raia?" she pointed out.
"What?"
"Well, what will happen to her now?" She was now more serious. "Where
will she live?"
"I thought she would live with Merta... and me... she's a sort of
younger sister to her anyways..."
"Yes, but what will you do when she'll need a spanking?"
"Maybe she won't," I said.
"What? Do you really believe that?"
"No," I admitted. "But, I mean... that's different."
"Because she won't agree with you that she needs a spanking?"
"You're not making this easier for me," I said. "How about we deal with
this when it comes? Please. I'm... not comfortable about it right now."
"Perhaps you just want to spank somebody?" teased Linda. "Anybody at
all?"
I didn't answer, but I blushed more deeply.
"Tell you what," smiled Linda. "What if you spanked me?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well, since it bothers you that the girls are good..."
"I did not say that!"
"But that's what it is!" protested Linda. "And you feel bad."
"I do," I admitted. "But, you see - look, it's nice of you to say that.
And I really appreciate your offer, but I can't do this, you've done
nothing to deserve a..."
*SWISH!*
I yelled and clutched my arm. "Ouch!"
Three long scratches from Linda's claws appeared on it. Hey, I didn't
even see her hand move!
"Would this be something to deserve a spanking for?" she asked sweetly.
"What?" I was completely puzzled. "Why are you so bent on it? Do you
want me to spank you that much?"
"Why not?" She was insistent. "You want to give somebody a spanking -
and I don't mind if you spank me!"
"I can't spank you just because..."
"I see." She smiled. That is, she showed her teeth. "If I scratched you
like that normally, I would be over your lap already. Maybe you can't
handle me asking for it?"
"Excuse me?"
"I am a cat, Zack," said Linda. "We hit each other all the time, but we
don't spank each other to relieve our guilt - because cats don't feel guilty. Ever. Anything we do,
we feel it's right. So when I asked you to spank me, it was because I
wanted you to spank me. It's simple, really!"
I was puzzled. "Are you telling me that you like being spanked?"
She laughed. "What? Well, of course not! But, you see... there are parts of it I like. I like the
attention that I'm getting, for example. All girls like to get
attention. I like the thrill when I know I'm going to get a spanking. I
like the nice feelings afterwards, the hugging... And I definitely don't like the part in the middle
when it hurts but without that, all the rest would not feel right."
"What?"
"I... liked to play with others, when I was a cat," admitted Linda.
"And cat games are... rough sometimes. Then I started to get spanked,
but now... I'm kinda missing it. So... will you spank me now or should
I climb the mast without my panties again?"
I couldn't but laugh. "OK, you win. I'll spank the lights out of you,
but please - no more mast-climbing. I couldn't bear it the second time."
I opened the cabin door and peeked out. "Nobody there."
"Well, you could just tell them you're going to spank me, and you don't
want to be disturbed," remarked Linda.
"No! I mean..."
I was confused. If I spank Linda, would that constitute cheating on
Merta? I never had to struggle with such problems before. I had spanked
Linda before, but... Why was I reluctant to tell the others?
"I mean..." I started again, when somebody knocked.
"Yes?" I called, perhaps a bit too loudly.
Merta came in. "Hi," she said. "Um... I hope I'm not disturbing you,
but..."
Was it my imagination or was there a colder-than-usual tone in her
voice?
"What do you need?" I spurted out, guiltily.
"Have you seen Raia? She's run off somewhere..."
"Raia? No... But I'm sure she turns up..."
"Excuse me?" That was Linda. She was looking at us, worried.
"You... you are jealous," she said to Merta. She sounded amazed, as if
that never occured to her before.
"What?" Merta jumped. "I... I'm not!"
"You cannot fool me," said Linda. "My nose doesn't lie. Is it
because... I was alone with Zack for too long?"
Merta blushed furiously. "Of course not! I... I trust him!"
"You see, I felt that I need a spanking, so I was asking Zack if he
would..." She actually blushed. She was faking it, of course.
"A spanking?" blinked Merta. "Uh... why?"
"I just need one, OK?" said Linda. "And so, please... can Zack do it?"
"What? You don't need to ask my permission..."
"You are wrong," said Linda. "I have to ask your permission. I didn't
know it before, but now when I see you both... you belong to each
other. And for this sort of thing... I need your permission."
Merta thought for a moment. "Well..." She was uncomfortable with the
idea, I could see that.
Linda sobbed. "Please?"
"Tell you what," I said. "Stay here, Merta. I... I don't want to strain
your trust."
"OK, then," said Merta. "But, Zack... don't be too harsh on her, right?"
I just knew this is not what she was really worried about. She was
worried that this would be something more than just a spanking, and
honestly - I was, too. Linda was extremely well-developed, and her
morals...
What, out of things she said, was the truth, and what was a lie? Did
she want a spanking for my sake... or hers?
I sat down on the bunk, pulling her over my knee. I pulled down her
pants, and panties - I had to unhook her tail from them, too.
I pinned the tail on her back with my left hand. She was now breathing
fast, and I noticed that Merta was blushing deeply - but she couldn't
avert her eyes, apparently.
I raised my hand and planted a firm smack in the middle of Linda's
bottom.
And another.
And another.
I continued at a steady pace for a while, and Linda's bottom was
steadily reddening. She was showing clear signs of discomfort, bucking
and kicking a little.
I didn't scold her because I really couldn't find anything to scold her
for. There was no reason for her to get this spanking, except that...
that she wanted it.
I glanced to Merta. She was still looking.
Linda started to purr.
I spanked her and she purred. She was bucking a lot now, her body
desperately trying to get rid of the sharp pain in the bottom, but I
was holding her firmly. The purr quickly became sobs, and finally she
started to cry and thrash around wildly.
"No! I'm so sorry, Zack! This is enough! No! Please, stop!"
But I continued until her bottom was cherry-red, and only then I
stopped.
I released Linda, and she hurled herself on the bunk, desperately
clutching her burning bottom. "That must have been the most stupid idea
I ever had!!!" she moaned.
"What idea?" asked Merta.
"Never mind," I said quickly. "I think we should leave her alone for
now?"
"Wh-What about my hug?" cried Linda.
I gave her a hug, but somehow, it didn't feel right. Merta was watching
us, and it just felt... wrong.
"I'm sorry," I said once we left sobbing Linda in her cabin and went
outside.
"For what?" asked Merta.
"Well... nothing in particular, just generally sorry. I feel like I did
something I shouldn't."
"Don't you always spank girls?" asked Merta.
"Merta, please tell me... were you really jealous?"
Merta seemed to consider that. "I guess so. Because... you were giving
her so much attention..."
"Merta, I was spanking her!
Trust me, that attention was very unwelcome to her!" Although, was it?
That purring...
"Still..."
"Do girls really want the attention that
much?" I mused. "Would you make me spank you if that would be what it
takes to grab some attention?"
"Of course I would!"
"What?"
"If I really needed that attention," clarified Merta. "If you weren't
noticing me when I love you... even a spanking from you is better than
nothing at all!"
Was this how Linda was feeling? Did she have a crush on me, perhaps?
"But..."
"But I really hope I won't have to resort to that, because I really
hate getting spanked," said Merta, and then, unexpectedly, she smiled.
I kissed her, and she kissed back.
"Ehm..."
We jumped away from each other, guiltily. The captain was standing in
the corridor.
"I believe," he started, "that there are two little girls in your
party."
"Yes... Raia and Rosey," I said. "Um... why?"
"Well, we're having a bit of trouble with them," explained the Captain.
"Could you come with me, please?"
Once we got on the deck, we immediately saw what was the problem.
Both girls were standing in the crow's nest on the top of the mast,
crying their eyes out.
"How did you get in there?" yelped Merta.
"Getting there was easy
enough," said the captain. "They are fast, those little fleas, we
didn't even notice them sneaking up there. Yes, getting up there is the
easy part. Getting down, now
that's difficult."
"I can imagine," I said, drily. "Are they being much of a bother?"
"Let's just say that if poor Tom up there shouted 'Land ahoy!', I would
have very hard time hearing him with those girls bawling there."
I nodded. "Can you get them down?"
"Well, technically, yes, but
it's tricky you know. They are scared to death... maybe if you climbed
up there, and calmed them down?"
I thought about it. "Did you talk to others?"
"No, you two are the first one I found."
"Wait a minute. I'll get them down."
I knocked at the cabin door. "Linda?"
"Yes?"
"Linda... may I come in for a second?"
"OK."
I came in. Linda was lying on her bed. On the stomach, of course. She
was idly kicking her legs.
Her trousers and panties were at half-mast, so her well-spanked bottom
would get some air. I cringed. "Ah... I think I might... overdo it a
bit..."
"Don't worry about that," said Linda. "I asked for it and I got it and
I'm not complaining. The worst sting is already over anyways."
"Linda, the girls... they got themselves in trouble."
"Girls? Can't you be more specific?"
"Raia and Rosey! They got - somehow - to the crow's nest, and now they
can't get down!"
Linda jumped up. "Oh!"
"And, well, since you are..."
"You want me to get them down?"
I nodded. "I mean... if it's not too... much of a discomfort for you..."
"Oh, not at all!" She jumped up and pulled up her panties - but I saw
her wince when they slid over her sore buns. Seeing her sticking the
tail through a specifically designed hole looked especially painful.
Then she pulled up her pants. "Let's go!" she said.
Soot, Max, May, and Grace were standing on the deck already when we
came. Linda didn't say anything, and I was thankful for that. She
jumped towards the mast, and dug her claws in it. In no time, she was
at the top.
"So," she said. "Hi, girls! Are you enjoying yourselves?"
Rosey and Raia turned towards Linda and stopped crying. "H-Hi!"
stammered Rosey. "You see, we..."
"We are scared!" said Raia. "Please, Linda, can you get us down?"
"Why did you go up here in the first place?"
"I... I wanted to see the island," said Rosey, embarrassed.
"What?" said Linda, puzzled. "But we are too far! You can't see Meneo
from here! It's too far!"
"Well, yes, I said it wrong, right?" sighed Rosey. "I meant that I
wanted to not see the island.
I was looking for it, but I kept thinking that it must be seen from somewhere..."
"So you climbed here?"
"Well... yes."
"And Raia?"
"I... I kinda went with her," said Raia. "I wanted to see too."
"And then we were really high up and we were too afraid to go down! So
we just kept going up..."
Linda smiled. "Well, Raia, I'll get you down first, then I'll come back
for Rosey." She turned to Tom, the sailor on crow nest duty. "Can I
borrow your shirt?"
In a while, Raia was safely tucked in a harness made of Tom's shirt
tied onto Linda, and she was quickly climbing down. In this, she had to
admit, human body was definitely better. Cats had no capacity for going
in reverse.
Raia probably thought that she might be better off staying up there.
She did what she had to.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled, and she bowed her head.
I couldn't trust myself to say anything. I was furious. Pulling such a
stunt!
"You're going to have your bottom bustered!"
What? Did I say that?
Fortunately, it wasn't me. It was Soot, quite angered by Rosey,
descending now.
Rosey started crying again - either her fear of heights or her fear of
spankings has kicked in.
And then, the ship rocked... and Linda lost her grip of the mast.
With an inhuman speed, she twisted in the midair, ripping Tom's shirt
from her back and holding Rosey safely...
...she turned again, trying to land on her feet, which wasn't simple,
given that she only had two...
...and so she landed on a pile of rope, bottom-first.
Rosey started bawling her heart out and we all sighed with relief,
because that meant she was alive and well.
Linda's shriek was even louder, though. She jumped high in the air and
started to run along the deck frantically. No wonder. Sitting down that
heavily must have hurt terribly with that bottom!
She got so agitated that she started to meow, which, I suppose, was
only for good. Whatever she was saying, it wasn't for little girls'
ears!
I hugged Raia, and Soot hugged Rosey. It took quite a time.
I was at loss now. What should we do with them?
If this was Merta, or May... even Soot, they would be spanked, no
problem. They were old enough to know they are doing a stupid thing.
But Rosey didn't, not neccessarily. And as for Raia...
We knew next to nothing about her. How old was she, really? How old was
her mind?
I passed Raia to Merta, and I called Soot to me.
"What are we going to do?" I asked.
"What? You know what we'll do," said Soot, puzzled. "Is there any
option?"
"I mean, they are kids, they didn't know better..."
"Exactly! So we have to teach them better."
"Soot, this was no willful disobedience..."
"But it was dangerous! I..."
To my surprise, I saw tears in her eyes. "I don't want Rosey to do
dangerous things. I don't want to lose her."
"I suppose you're right, but..."
"I think she needs a spanking. Not a big one, but good enough, so it
would sting a lot and give her something to ponder upon. But... if
Rosey gets a spanking, Raia has, too. Equal treatment."
I hesitated. "Well, as long as it's not a big spanking..."
"Oh, not nearly as bad as you'd give to us! But good enough to count, you
know."
"OK..."
"So," smiled Soot, "I'm trusting those two girls in your capable hands."
"What? I thought... that you're going to spank Rosey."
She blinked. "Uh... I really don't... I think I'm too mad with her. I
wouldn't be, uh... totally objective."
"What? And I am?"
"Why, yes! You're angry, yes, but not furious. Besides, wouldn't it be
more fair if they get both spanked by the same person?"
I looked her. "Soot, there is something strange here. I'm not sure you
told me the whole truth. Why wouldn't you spank her by yourself?"
She downcast her eyes. "I can't tell you, Zack. It's... embarrassing."
"Embarrassing? Come on! I didn't even know you can get embarrassed!"
"I can!"
"Well..."
She sighed. "I got this deal, you see? I was afraid that I might...
abuse my right to spank Rosey, so I got this deal with a certain...
person. When I punish Rosey, I have to suffer the same spanking from...
uh... his or her hand."
I blinked. "But, surely, this would only apply to when you..."
"Go overboard? No. It's two months, every spanking I give gets me one
back deal."
"Well, if you explain, Max will surely..."
"It's not him!"
"What?"
"I won't say anything more," she said. "But I'm really..."
"You are scared?"
She nodded. "Not that much for getting a spanking... but I'm afraid I
might actually do something to deserve it. Rosey doesn't deserve to be
spanked by someone like me."
I sighed. "You will be a wonderful mother to her," I said. "As long as
you learn that parents have to take responsibility for their kids. Even
when it's... unpleasant."
She whimpered. "But..."
"Besides, how would you learn to control yourself otherwise? You have
to give out a few spankings to learn it properly. I know I did..."
We came to the others together.
Both girls stood in front of us with downcast eyes.
I felt awful, but I had to confirm their worst fears.
"What you did was very dangerous, and totally irresponsible," I said.
"I've talked it through with Soot, and we have decided that... you are
going to get a spanking. Both of you."
Raia only looked scared, but Rosey started to bawl. "Nooo! Please, no
spanking!"
I took Raia's hand, and she reluctantly grasped it. "Merta?" I asked.
"Will you come, too?"
She shook her head. "Uh... no. I... had enough for today."
And so we left.
Soot approached May. "I've talked to Zack," she said. "I, uh... I'm
going to spank Rosey."
May nodded. "I know."
"I mean, uh... she does
deserve it, don't you think?"
"Probably."
"Look, I just have to know!
Would you do it differently?"
May thought for a while. "No," she said, finally. "I would spank her
too, although I hate to admit it."
"So, uh... could you come and give me my
spanking right afterwards? I don't want to, uh... wait too long."
May sighed even more. "Do you really want me to?"
"Of course not! But we have a deal."
"What if I go with you right now? I'll see you... do what you'd do, and
then we can talk."
"OK."
We haven't talked in the whole time it took to get Raia to the cabin.
Once we were there, I closed the door.
"Raia," I said, "you know what a spanking is, right?"
She nodded. "Rosey told me. She said that it's awful."
"Well... I suppose she's right," I said. "That's why we only do it when
you really need it."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Why did you go up there?"
"I... I don't know. I went after Rosey."
"Well, Rosey will be no doubt punished worse than you," I said. "But
you have to get your part, too, Raia."
She whimpered. "Daddyyy... I'm scared."
I was scared, too. But I had a duty.
"What did Rosey tell you, exactly?"
"Uh... that when you're spanked, you must pull your panties down... and
they.... smack your bare bottom. And that it hurts a lot and you have
to cry hard..."
She was sobbing.
"And do you know... why is it done?"
She shook her head.
"Well, Raia, it's because every thing you do has some consequences. If
you are an adult, some things can have very bad consequences, and they
can make your whole life miserable. But you are a child now, and you
have me and Merta to protect you. We try to stop all those bad things
from happening to you. But... we have to make you feel some of the bad consequences.
Otherwise you'd never learn not to do things that had them..."
I realized I was babbling. But - wasn't this exactly Raia's problem?
Problem of the old Raia? That
she never had to suffer bad consequences until it was too late for her?
"Anyway, I'm going to spank you now," I said. "And it will hurt a lot, but it will still
hurt a lot less than if you
fell down from the crow's nest."
A merciful lie. Actually, if she fell down from that height, she would
probably feel nothing at all.
I sat down on the bed. "Come here."
I easily lifted her small body and put it over my knee. I flipped her
skirt out of the way - May made that skirt, it was a smaller version of
brown piece Merta wore.
"OK?" I asked.
"I love you, Daddy," said Raia. She whimpered, as I pulled her panties
down.
I put a solid smack in the middle of her bare bottom, and she gasped.
"This is what a spanking is," I said. "And now I have to repeat this
until I feel you are punished enough."
She yelped. "No! Daddy! That huuuurts!"
Another smack came her way. And another. It took less than ten to get
her crying and bucking. I didn't scold her throughout, but I kept the
pace steady. I stopped after 20 smacks, then I gently raised her from
my lap and hugged her.
She hugged me back.
"I'm sorry I had to do this," I said.
"I... I'm more!" she wailed, and I couldn't but smile.
After all, she was my little
girl.
Soot and May escorted Rosey back into Soot's room. Noone said anything.
"You got me into fine mess," started Soot with a sigh, once she settled
down.
"Well, I..."
"I hope you won't try to tell me that spanking you for something like
this is not fair," remarked Soot with a wry smile.
Rosey whimpered. "Well... I guess it is... But I would rather get along
without, all the same."
Soot laughed, despite herself. "Sorry, kiddo. No can do." She swiftly
turned Rosey over her knee. She flipped her dress...
Rosey squealed. "What happened? Where are my panties?"
Soot smirked. "These panties,
you mean?" She pulled them out of her pocket.
Despite her situation, Rosey asked: "How did you do that? I mean... I didn't feel
anything!"
"Just something to brag about," said Soot.
"Oh! Will you teach me that?"
"No," said Soot and put her hand on her niece's bottom, "but there is
another lesson I intend to give you right now."
May averted her eyes when rhytmical slaps and cries signaled that the
spanking has started.
"Put those hands away," said Soot suddenly.
May looked. Rosey's bottom was... well, rosey. She was clutching it
with both hands, arching back and sobbing heavily.
"Please, put those hands away," said Soot again. "I know it hurts, but
that is kinda the point."
"No! I don't wanna! It hurts too much, Auntie!"
"Rosey, do you know what happens to naughty little girls who put their
hands on their bottoms when they are spanked?" scolded Soot.
"Um... no?"
"Well, they have their hands pinned back, like this, and then they have to
feel a hairbrush on their
bare bottoms!"
She took her black hairbrush and rested it against Rosey's bottom. It
was incredible how quickly she changed her mind.
"Oh, that's OK, really... it doesn't hurt that much... Please, not the brush,
Auntie, anythng but that..."
"Well," said Soot, "it seems like it is enough for you to feel it like
this. But you try this again and you will meet for much longer time!"
She put the hairbrush back.
"So, now I will continue spanking your bottom right where you
interrupted me."
She thrusted her knee up a bit to raise Rosey's bottom, and then...
"Aaaa! No! It does hurt too
much! Auntie, please! I'll be gooood!!!"
May was looking not at Rosey's poor bottom, but at her tear-streaken
face. Her hair was a mess.
Right before she decided to go ahead and stop further punishment, Soot
stopped on her own.
"Well, Rosey," she said, "I hope you've learned your lesson!"
"I sure hope too!" wailed Rosey. "I really don't care for a repeat of this!"
Soot sighed. "Well... could you go play with Raia again? Under
supervision, this time. I'll be... right there."
Rosey ran away, frantically rubbing away at her bottom.
"How was it?" asked Soot.
May pondered for a while. "Well... I think it might be a bit too much. But not a lot."
Soot tugged at the waistline of her pants. "Well... so what now?"
"I really don't want to spank you," said May. "But..."
"We have a deal," nodded Soot. She pulled her pants down. "Should I lie
over your lap?"
"No..." said May. "I mean, you're too big for that." She gathered the
bedcover from the bunk and rolled it into a tight cylinder. "Mom
spanked me like this once. You lie on the bed, with this under your
bottom."
Soot grimaced and did so. "Not very pleasant, I must say."
"Now... pull your panties down."
"Of course."
May sighed. "Uh... can I start?"
"Sure, whenever you're ready."
*SMACK!*
Soot gasped. "Hey, girl! Go easy on me!"
*SPANK!*
"Ouch! Hey, where did you learn that?"
Soot was determined to not give in, but as the spanking continued, it
was becoming harder. This is so stupid, she thought. I only gave Rosey
what she deserved, nothing more! She gasped.
"OK," said May. "I guess that's about it."
"Oh? That's all?" Soot was secretly relieved. If this continued for a
while more, she might start crying for real, and she definitely did not want anything like that.
"I'm sorry," said May. "Perhaps... this wasn't such a good idea."
"Perhaps it wasn't," said Soot. "So..."
"Next time," said May, "we'll talk about it. I think we both did a
mistake."
"No problem," said Soot. "My bottom can take a lot more."
May turned around at the door. "Goodbye for now."
"Did you get it too?" said Rosey.
Raia nodded. "Daddy spanked me. It was awful!"
"Well, it always is," said Rosey. "But it almost stopped hurting by
now."
"Yes... almost."
"Did you... tell them anything?"
"No. I mean, you told me to keep it secret."
Rosey smiled. "That's right, secret, just between me and you. Boy would
we get it good if they just
knew how did you get us up
that mast!"
