A story suggested by a reader (the first part, anyways). He said it would be more realistic to have more resistance from the boy.

My name is Ethan Walker, and I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge—or a mistake, apparently. I guess the best example of that came in the late 1960s when I was a senior in high school, somewhere between 17 and 18 years old, coasting through life like I had all the answers. That was until one night when everything flipped upside down.
“Ethan, get in here!” my dad barked from the lounge room. I dragged my feet down the hall, already sensing the tension in the air. When I stepped into the room, there they were: my parents, looking like they’d just swallowed lemons, and Mrs. Hiram, sitting primly on the edge of our faded green couch, her hands folded in her lap. I slouched against the doorframe, trying to play it cool.
My parents nodded along, their faces tight with anger. My mom’s eyes were practically shooting sparks. “We didn’t raise you to throw your future away,” she snapped. “You’re going to get serious about school, or else.”
“Or else what?” I shot back, crossing my arms. It was a dumb move, but I couldn’t help myself—I had a knack for running my mouth.
My dad’s jaw tightened. “Or else you’re getting more discipline,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “Starting tonight, before bed, you’ll get a taste of what’s coming if you don’t shape up. And Mrs. Hiram will be giving us weekly reports on your progress. You’d best smarten up and get those grades of yours up, young man.”
“Bullshit,” I muttered, rolling my eyes. I thought I was untouchable, too clever to care. The room went dead silent. My mom’s head whipped around, and I knew I’d crossed a line.
“Go grab the clothes brush from the front hall,” she said, her tone icy. “Now.”
I blinked. “What? No way.” I was almost 18, for crying out loud—way too old for a spanking. She repeated herself, and I just stood there, shaking my head. “I’m not doing that. Especially not in front of her.” I jerked my chin toward Mrs. Hiram, who was watching the whole scene unfold with this unreadable expression.
“Fine,” my mom said, standing up. “You have to the count of ten. If you don’t start moving by then, you’ll regret it.” She started counting down, slow and deliberate. “Ten… nine… eight…”
I smirked, feeling cocky. When she hit “one,” I couldn’t resist. “Lift off,” I quipped, like I was some kind of astronaut launching into orbit. Mrs. Hiram’s lips twitched, but my parents weren’t amused.
“Stand right there,” my dad growled, stepping into the doorway to block my escape. My mom marched out of the room, and I heard her rummaging in the hall closet. She came back holding the clothes brush—a flat, wooden thing with a polished handle that I’d never really thought about until that moment.
“Pull down your pants,” she ordered, dragging a stool from the corner.
I laughed nervously. “You’re kidding, right?” No way was I humiliating myself like that, especially with my teacher sitting five feet away.
“Fine,” my mom said. “I’ll give you another ten count. If they’re not down, the underwear’s coming off too—and it will be your father handling the discipline.”
She started again, her voice steady but edged with steel. “Ten… nine… eight…”
I stood there, arms crossed, forcing a grin like I was still in charge. My dad’s glare could’ve burned holes through me, and Mrs. Hiram sat there, her sharp eyes darting between us, calm as ever, like she was watching a play unfold.
“Seven… six… five…” My mom’s tone stayed firm, but my grin started to falter. The room felt heavier, and my stomach churned. I shifted on my feet, telling myself I wasn’t about to cave.
“Four… three…” Her voice dropped, and my pulse spiked. My eyes flicked to the clothes brush in her hand, its polished wood looking way too solid. My dad edged closer, his shadow swallowing mine, and a nervous heat crawled up my spine. What if they meant it? What if I ended up bare over that stool, spanked like some kid while Mrs. Hiram sat there judging? My throat tightened, but I still couldn’t budge. Stubbornness dies hard.
“Two…” My mom’s gaze drilled into me, and my smirk was history. My hands balled into fists, and I stole a glance at Mrs. Hiram. She hadn’t flinched, but her being there made this a hundred times worse—like I was one step from being the punchline of every classroom rumor.
“One…” The word landed like a stone, and my breath caught. My heart pounded, and my mind scrambled—drop the pants or lose it all? Sweat beaded on my neck, and my legs wobbled, but I stood there, locked in place, too proud to give in.
“Time’s up,” my mom said, her voice cold. She nodded at my dad, who stepped forward, closing the gap between us. His hands reached for me, and panic finally broke through. “Wait—hold on!” I yelped, fumbling with my jeans. I yanked them down in a rush, exposing my tight white underpants, my voice pitching up. “They’re down, they’re down!”
But it was too late. My dad’s hands clamped onto my arms from behind, pinning me in place with a grip I couldn’t shake. “You had your chance,” he growled, holding me firm. My face went hot, and I twisted, but there was no getting free. My mom stepped forward, her expression set. She hooked her fingers into the waistband of my briefs and began pulling them down. My stomach plummeted—pride, cockiness, all of it gone as the reality sank in.
My dad’s grip clamped down on my arms, pinning me as my mom slid my briefs past my thighs. I couldn’t stay still—my body thrashed on instinct, wriggling like a trapped animal. “No—stop, please!” I yelped, my voice splintering as I kicked out, my jeans bunching at my ankles. My legs flailed, one foot smacking the stool with a hollow thud, but it didn’t faze her. The briefs slipped lower, and I felt the cold air hit me full-on—my penis and testicles swinging free, bouncing with every desperate twist and kick I made.
“Please, Mom, don’t—I’m begging you!” I cried, my words spilling out in a frantic, broken rush. My hips jerked side to side, and with each squirm, my exposed parts jiggled and swayed, the motion impossible to hide. My face blazed, a searing heat that spread down my neck, as I twisted harder against my dad’s iron hold. He yanked me back, forcing me still for a split second, but I couldn’t stop—my penis flopped again, my testicles shifting with every futile kick, and the shame clawed deeper into me. Mrs. Hiram sat there, just feet away, her sharp eyes fixed on me, taking in every humiliating detail as my nakedness danced in front of her.
“Hold still,” my mom barked, her voice slicing through my pleas. She stepped back, clothes brush in hand, and I kicked again, my bare foot scraping the carpet, my penis swinging wildly with the motion. “I’m sorry—please, I’ll do anything, just stop!” I whined, my voice a pitiful mess. But she didn’t flinch, and my dad’s grip didn’t budge. My struggles slowed, my energy draining, but the shame burned hotter than ever—every twitch and sway of my exposed flesh amplifying the nightmare of being laid bare before my teacher’s unrelenting gaze.
I was suddenly, horrifyingly bare, my genitals exposed right in front of Mrs. Hiram. She didn’t flinch, didn’t look away, just sat there with that same calm expression, like this was all perfectly normal. My face burned, a wave of mortification crashing over me. I wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor—anything to escape the searing humiliation of being stripped naked from the waist down in front of my teacher. My smartass bravado evaporated, replaced by a choking panic I couldn’t hide.
My dad shifted, dragging me forward and bending me over his knee as he sat on the stool. I barely had time to protest before the first crack of the clothes brush landed. It was nothing like the half-hearted hand spankings I’d gotten as a kid—this was a blazing, white-hot sting that ripped a yelp from my throat. He didn’t ease up; each smack came down hard and fast, the flat wood biting into my bare skin. I tried to hold it together, clenching my jaw, but it was no use. Before he was even halfway done, the pain and shame broke me. Tears streamed down my face, hot and unstoppable, and I sobbed like a little kid, my whole body shaking with every strike. Mrs. Hiram’s presence just amplified it, her silent witness making every whack feel like a public execution of my pride.
My dad settled into a rhythm, the clothes brush cracking against my bare backside with a force that echoed through the room. Each smack landed with a sharp, resounding thwack, the sound bouncing off the walls like a gunshot, amplifying the childish absurdity of it all. I was nearly 18, a senior who’d spent months strutting around school like I owned the place, now reduced to a bawling, half-naked mess over my father’s lap. My legs kicked helplessly, scissoring in the air, my toes scraping the carpet in a frantic, toddler-like tantrum. My jeans, still tangled around my ankles, flapped with every squirm, and my briefs dangled uselessly at my knees, making there way towards my ankles, a pathetic white flag of surrender.
The brush itself was a relic—an old, heavy thing with a wide, oval head, its polished wood gleaming under the lounge room’s dim light. It wasn’t some flimsy toy; it was built to scrub dirt from coats, and now it was scrubbing every ounce of defiance out of me. Each strike felt like a branding iron, searing a deep, throbbing sting into my flesh. My skin turned red instantly, then purpled under the onslaught, the heat radiating outward in waves that made my whole body tremble. My dad wielded it with precision, alternating cheeks, ensuring no spot was spared. The severity was unrelenting—ten smacks in, and I was already a sobbing wreck; by twenty, I couldn’t even form words, just gasping, hiccupping cries that sounded more like a five-year-old than a teenager.
My hands scrabbled at the stool’s legs, fingers clawing for something to hold onto, but there was no escaping the humiliation. My bare buttocks jiggled with each impact, the flesh rippling like jelly under the brush’s brutal kiss. My genitals, dangling free between my dad’s slightly opened thighs, swung pendulously with every thrash of my hips, adding a ridiculous, almost cartoonish layer to the ordeal. I could feel them—my penis flopping side to side, my testicles bouncing against my thighs—and the knowledge that Mrs. Hiram was seeing it all turned my shame into a living, breathing monster. Her calm, unblinking stare bore into me, and I imagined her cataloging every detail: the way my body jerked, the way my sobs pitched higher with each smack, the way my nakedness flailed in front of her like some grotesque puppet show.
“Please—Daddy, stop!” I wailed, the word slipping out unbidden, a childish plea I hadn’t used since I was six. My voice cracked, raw and desperate, but it only seemed to spur him on. The brush came down harder, the blows piling up—thirty, forty, I lost count—each one a thunderclap of pain that drowned out my cries. My backside felt like it was on fire, the skin so tender I swore it’d split open, and still he didn’t let up. My legs flailed weaker now, exhaustion creeping in, but the tears kept coming, soaking my face, dripping onto the carpet below. I was a sniveling, snot-nosed kid again, stripped of every shred of dignity I’d clung to.
The severity wasn’t just in the force—it was in the sheer, relentless pace. No pauses, no mercy, just a steady crack-crack-crack that turned my defiance into dust. My mom stood nearby, arms crossed, her face a mask of grim satisfaction, while Mrs. Hiram remained the silent sentinel, her presence a constant reminder that this wasn’t just a family affair. It was a lesson, a spectacle, a public shaming dressed up as discipline. My buttocks throbbed, each pulse of pain syncing with my heartbeat, and my sobs devolved into a pitiful whimpering that filled the room. I was a grown boy being spanked like a naughty child, and the absurdity of it—paired with the brutal reality of that brush—shattered me completely.
When the last crack of the clothes brush finally fell silent, I was a sobbing, shuddering mess, my pride shattered and my backside blazing. My dad’s hand lingered for a moment, the brush still warm against my skin, before he hauled me upright. His grip on my arms didn’t loosen—those iron fingers clamped tight around my biceps, holding me steady as I stumbled to my feet. My pants and underpants stayed bunched around my ankles, leaving me exposed, my bare skin prickling in the cool air of the living room. I couldn’t even muster the strength to reach for them; my hands hung limp, trembling from the breakdown that had overtaken me.
I caught a blurry glimpse of Mrs. Hiram through my tears—she hadn’t moved, still sitting there on the couch, her expression as composed as ever. The humiliation burned deeper, knowing she’d seen everything: my bare genitals dangling helplessly, my tear-streaked face, my complete unraveling. I wanted to shrink into nothing, but my dad wasn’t done with me yet.
His dad’s hands stayed locked around my biceps, his fingers digging into my skin like steel clamps, holding me upright even as my legs wobbled beneath me. My backside throbbed with a deep, pulsing ache, every inch of it screaming from the clothes brush’s merciless assault, but he wasn’t letting me go—not yet. My hands twitched instinctively, darting forward to cover my exposed genitals, but each time they moved, my dad yanked them back with a sharp tug, forcing my arms to stay pinned at my sides. “Keep ‘em there,” he growled, his voice thick with anger that hadn’t cooled a bit. My penis and testicles dangled freely, swaying with every shuddering breath I took, and the humiliation of it—of being forcibly bared like some toddler caught misbehaving—burned hotter than my bruised skin.
Tears streamed down my face, hot and relentless, carving wet tracks through the mess of snot dripping from my nose. I couldn’t stop it—couldn’t stop the hiccupping sobs that shook my chest or the way my lips quivered like a little kid’s after a fall. My hands jerked again, a desperate reflex to shield myself from Mrs. Hiram’s unrelenting gaze, but my dad’s grip tightened, pulling them back harder. “Quit that,” he snapped, his tone sharp enough to slice through my whimpering. I squirmed, my hips twisting slightly, but it only made things worse—my genitals jiggled again, a ridiculous, helpless bounce that I couldn’t hide, and I felt my face flush even deeper, the shame choking me.
“Ethan,” my mom said, stepping closer, her voice cold and commanding. “You’re going to apologize to Mrs. Hiram right now for putting her in this position. She shouldn’t have had to see this nonsense because of your foolishness.” Her arms were crossed, her eyes boring into me, daring me to argue. I opened my mouth, but all that came out was a wet, blubbering gasp, my breath hitching as more tears spilled over. My nose ran freely now, a glistening trail pooling above my lip, and I sniffled loudly, the sound embarrassingly loud in the tense quiet of the room.
“I—I’m s-sorry,” I stammered, my voice breaking into a high-pitched whine, the words tumbling out in a snotty, tear-soaked mess. My dad’s hands squeezed my arms, keeping me rooted in place, and I couldn’t even wipe my face—couldn’t do anything but stand there, sniveling like a chastised child. “I’m s-so s-sorry, Mrs. H-Hiram, f-for… for m-making you w-watch this,” I blubbered, my lips trembling so hard I could barely get the sentence out. A fresh sob burst from my throat, loud and sloppy, and I ducked my head, my chin quivering as snot bubbled from my nose. I tried to sniff it back, but it just smeared across my upper lip, a sticky, infantile mess that made me feel even smaller.
Mrs. Hiram sat there, her posture unchanged, her sharp eyes locked on me with that same unnerving calm. She didn’t say a word, didn’t nod, just watched as I unraveled into a tearful, snot-streaked wreck. My hands twitched again, a pathetic little jerk toward my groin, but my dad’s grip snapped them back instantly, leaving me exposed and helpless. “P-please,” I whimpered, barely audible, my voice dissolving into another wet hiccup. My chest heaved, my shoulders shaking with every sob, and I couldn’t stop the flood—tears dripped off my chin, splattering onto my shirt, while my nose kept running, forcing me to sniffle and snort like some toddler mid-tantrum.
“Say it again,” my mom ordered, her tone unyielding. “Louder, and mean it.”
I swallowed hard, my throat raw from crying, and forced the words out through a fresh wave of blubbering. “I’m s-sorry, Mrs. Hiram!” I wailed, my voice cracking into a pitiful, childish squeak. “I’m s-so sorry you h-had to s-see this! I—I didn’t mean it!” Snot bubbled out with the words, and I couldn’t hold it back—a loud, wet snort escaped me, followed by a choking sob that shook my whole body. My face was a disaster, soaked and sticky, my eyes puffy and red, and still my dad held me there, his anger a palpable heat behind me. My hands flailed once more, a weak, instinctive grab for cover, but he pulled them back with a grunt, leaving me dangling, bare and ridiculous, in front of my teacher’s steady stare.
The room spun with my shame, every sob and sniffle stripping away what little pride I had left. I was no senior, no tough guy—just a sniveling, snot-nosed kid, caught in my dad’s grip, forced to grovel through tears while my nakedness swayed for all to see. My apology hung in the air, a broken, blubbering plea, and all I could do was cry harder, the childishness of it all drowning me as deeply as the sting still pulsing through my battered backside.
——
“Move,” my dad barked, his voice gruff as he tightened his hold and started frogmarching me across the room. My legs wobbled beneath me, my pants tangling around my feet, forcing me to shuffle awkwardly with every step. I tried to twist my head away, to hide my face from Mrs. Hiram’s unrelenting gaze, but my dad’s grip kept me facing forward. The tears wouldn’t stop, dripping off my chin and leaving wet spots on the carpet as we went.
He steered me straight to the corner of the room, where two walls met in a sharp angle. “Nose to the wall,” he ordered, shoving me forward until my face was inches from the plaster. I hesitated, sniffling, but a firm push between my shoulder blades made it clear there was no negotiating. I pressed my nose into the corner, the cool surfaces of both walls brushing against my cheeks, my breath hitching as I tried to stifle the sobs still bubbling up. My bare backside stuck out, my pants and underwear still hobbling my ankles, and I could feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on me—my parents’ anger, Mrs. Hiram’s quiet judgment. It was suffocating.
“Stay there,” my dad said, his voice low and final. “Arms behind your back. No covering that butt! You’re not moving until we say so.” I obeyed, clasping my shaky arms together at the small of my back, my shoulders slumping as the reality sank in. I was on display, a sniveling, half-naked mess, parked in the corner like a naughty kid. The sting from the spanking pulsed with every heartbeat, but the shame—standing there, stripped and broken in front of my teacher—was almost worse.
Behind me, I heard my mom’s voice, calm but edged with steel. “That’s this dose sorted. You’ll get another before bed, and one in the morning to keep it fresh. Maybe then you’ll think twice about mouthing off.”
I didn’t respond—couldn’t, really. My throat was raw, my face hot and sticky with tears. The corner smelled faintly of dust and old paint, and I focused on that. Behind me, the room wasn’t silent for long—my parents and Mrs. Hiram picked up their conversation as if I were just part of the furniture now.
“Well,” Mrs. Hiram said, her voice crisp and measured, “I must say, I’m quite satisfied with how this has been handled. Ethan’s needed a firm lesson for some time, and this—” she paused, and I could almost feel her eyes on my exposed, well-beaten backside—“this should leave an impression.”
My mom let out a tight, humorless laugh. “Oh, it will. He won’t forget this in a hurry.”
“Absolutely,” my dad added, his tone gruff but resolute. “We’ve let him coast too long. This is where it stops.”
Mrs. Hiram shifted on the couch—I heard the faint creak of the springs—and her voice took on a businesslike edge. “I’ll start sending home a weekly report. I’ll have his teachers grade his effort, behavior, and progress in class. It’ll give you a clear picture of where he stands.”
“That’s perfect,” my mom said, her words sharp with intent. “And Ethan, you’d better listen up.” Her voice rose slightly, aimed at me even though I couldn’t turn to face her. “Anything less than an A on those reports, and you’ll be right back here—pants down, over your father’s knee, nose in the corner. No exceptions.”
My stomach lurched, a fresh wave of dread washing over me. I pressed my nose harder into the wall, as if I could disappear into it, but there was no escaping the weight of her words—or the image of this happening again. My dad grunted in agreement, his boots scuffing the carpet as he shifted his stance.
“An A,” he repeated, his voice like gravel. “That’s the bar, Ethan. Don’t test us.”
Mrs. Hiram cleared her throat, a small, satisfied sound. “I think that’s a fair standard. He’s a bright boy, he’s more than capable of it, if he applies himself. And after tonight, I expect he’ll find the motivation.” There was a hint of amusement in her tone, subtle but cutting, and it made my face burn hotter. She’d seen me stripped bare, sobbing like a toddler, and now she was practically smug about it.
I heard the rustle of her gathering her things—a purse snapping shut, the jingle of keys. “I’ll get that first report to you by next Friday,” she said. “And I’ll see Ethan at school tomorrow. I’m sure he’ll be on his best behavior.”
“He’d better be,” my mom replied, her voice laced with warning.
Footsteps crossed the room, and my dad’s heavy tread followed as he moved to show her out. “Thanks for coming, Mrs. Hiram,” he said. “We’ll make sure it’s corrected.”
“My pleasure,” she replied, and I could picture that faint, tight-lipped smile of hers. “Good night.”
The front door opened, letting in a brief gust of cool night air that brushed against my bare legs, then clicked shut. She was gone, but her presence lingered like a ghost—her calm satisfaction, her promise of those damned reports. My parents didn’t say anything right away, the silence heavy as I stood there, still trembling, my pants and underwear tangled at my ankles. The corner held me captive, my nose aching from the pressure, my mind racing with the reality of what I’d just been signed up for. One slip below an A, and this nightmare would repeat itself. I swallowed hard, the taste of salt and shame on my lips, knowing I’d have to face her tomorrow—and every day after—with this hanging over me.
——
“Ethan, you’re going to stand in that corner for one full hour,” my mom said, her tone cold as steel. “Nose to the wall, arms behind your back, and don’t you dare let that nose move away from those walls. You’re going to think about your behavior—every smart-mouthed word, every ounce of disrespect that got you here. Move, and you’ll regret it.”
I tried to stand still, but it wasn’t easy—standing like that, rigid and exposed, was torture. The position pulled at my shoulders, strained my calves, and made my lower back ache within minutes. My bare legs prickled in the drafty air, and the urge to shift, to ease the discomfort, gnawed at me relentlessly.
For a while, I managed to stay put, the ticking of the mantel clock my only companion. My mind churned, replaying the nightmare that had just unfolded. Mrs. Hiram’s sharp eyes haunted me—those cool, unblinking stares that had taken in every second of my humiliation. I’d been so cocky, mouthing off like I was untouchable, and she’d watched it all fall apart. Watched my mom strip me bare, my dad paddle me into a sobbing wreck, my genitals flopping around like some grotesque sideshow. She’d heard me beg—“Please, Daddy, stop!”—a childish cry I couldn’t un-say, and tomorrow I’d have to face her in school. How was I supposed to meet her gaze, knowing she’d seen me broken, my pride shredded in front of her?
Ten minutes in, my legs started to cramp, and I couldn’t help it—I squirmed, shifting my weight from one foot to the other. My nose grazed the wall, pulling away for a split second.
“Ethan!” my mom snapped from across the room, her voice like a whipcrack. “You do not move! Nose back on that wall—now!” I flinched, pressing my face harder into the corner, my breath hitching as a fresh wave of shame washed over me. My hands tightened behind my back, knuckles white, and I forced myself still, the ache in my calves deepening.
The clock ticked on, each second stretching into misery. My thoughts spiraled back to Mrs. Hiram’s faint twitch of a smile when I’d quipped “lift off”—had she been amused or just smug? She’d sat there, calm as ever, while my briefs came down, while I kicked and cried, my nakedness swaying helplessly before her. Now she’d be grading me every week, those damned reports looming like a guillotine. One slip below an A, and I’d be back here—pants down, sobbing, her victory complete. The Ethan Walker who’d smirked his way through school was gone, replaced by this trembling, sniveling kid, and she’d seen it all happen.
Twenty minutes later, the discomfort was unbearable. My shoulders screamed from holding my arms back, and my bare backside throbbed with every tiny shift. I squirmed again, my hips twisting slightly, my nose slipping off the wall as I tried to stretch my aching legs.
“Boy, what did we tell you?” my dad growled, his voice low and dangerous. I heard the creak of his chair as he leaned forward, his eyes boring into me. “Do not move a muscle. Get that nose back where it belongs, or I’ll come over there and give you something else to think about.” My heart lurched, and I jammed my face back into the corner, the plaster digging into my skin. My legs shook, but I didn’t dare move again—not with his threat hanging in the air.
The hour crawled by, my body protesting every second. My mind wouldn’t rest either—Mrs. Hiram’s presence lingered like a specter. She’d seen me stripped of everything, my smartass reputation cracked wide open. Tomorrow, I’d walk into her school, and she’d know exactly how small I’d become, bare-assed and bawling. My nose itched, my back ached, but the shame burned hottest of all, fueled by the memory of her steady gaze and the knowledge that I’d shamed myself in front of her beyond repair.
Another squirm escaped me near the forty-minute mark, my feet shuffling as I tried to ease the strain. “Ethan, stop that!” my mom barked, her voice cutting through the room. “You’re not weaseling out of this. Stand still, or we’ll start that hour over.” I froze, my breath shallow, a lump rising in my throat. Starting over was unthinkable—I couldn’t take it. I locked my knees, pressed my nose so hard into the wall it hurt, and willed myself to endure.
The last ten minutes were the worst. The pain in my legs and back had built into a relentless ache, my shoulders knotted so tight I could barely feel my hands. The shame, the dread of facing Mrs. Hiram, the weight of my own disgrace—it all crashed down at once. Tears welled up, hot and sudden, and I couldn’t hold them back. They spilled over, running freely down my cheeks, tracing wet paths over my already sticky face. I sniffled, trying to keep quiet, but the sound escaped—a soft, wet hiccup that echoed in the corner. The tears kept coming, dripping off my chin and splattering onto my shirt, my chest heaving with silent sobs.
I squirmed again, my body desperate for relief, and my nose slipped a fraction from the wall. “Ethan, I swear—” my dad’s voice rumbled, sharp and immediate. “Keep that nose there, or you’re getting the brush again right now.” I choked on a sob, pressing my face back so hard the plaster bit into my skin, tears streaming faster. My hands clenched behind me, nails digging into my palms, as I fought to stay still through the crying.
The clock ticked on, indifferent to my misery. Mrs. Hiram’s calm, smug face swam in my mind—she’d won, and I’d given her everything she needed to bury me. My tears flowed unchecked, soaking my collar, my breath hitching with every shudder. I was a wreck—legs trembling, shoulders screaming, face wet and raw.
——
When the hour finally ended. My mom’s voice broke through, crisp and final. “Ethan, that’s enough. Turn around and get upstairs,” she said. I hesitated, my hands still clasped behind my back, until she snapped, “Now.”
I shuffled awkwardly, turning to face them, my face flushed and streaked with my tears. Keeping my eyes on the floor, I bent to tug my pants up, but her voice stopped me cold. “Leave them. You’re going straight to bed after a bath. Take those off and march yourself upstairs.”
My throat tightened, but I obeyed, stepping out of the tangled mess of fabric and picking it up in my arms. The air felt colder against my bare skin as I trudged past them, head down, avoiding their gazes. My mom followed me to the foot of the stairs, her tone unrelenting. “Get in the bath and scrub yourself clean. Call me when you’re done—no need to dress. I’ll be up to your room for your bedtime spanking.”
I froze mid-step, a jolt of panic shooting through me. “What?” I croaked, my voice hoarse from crying.
“You heard me,” she said, crossing her arms. “That was just the start downstairs. You’re getting another dose before bed, like we promised. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be.”
Before I could even think of arguing, my dad’s voice rumbled from the lounge room doorway, low and menacing. “And Ethan, if you give your mother any attitude about it—any backtalk, any stalling—I’ll be the one coming up there. It won’t be the brush. It’ll be the belt, and I’ll tan your hide ‘til you can’t sit for a week. Understood?”
I nodded quickly, my heart pounding. The threat of the belt—something he’d never used before—silenced any flicker of defiance. “Yes, sir,” I mumbled, barely audible, and hurried up the stairs, my bare feet slapping against the wood.
——
The bathroom felt too bright, too stark, as I ran the bath. I sank into the hot water, wincing as it stung my tender skin, and scrubbed myself mechanically, my mind racing. The idea of calling my mom up for another spanking, naked and dripping, made my stomach twist into knots. But the alternative—my dad and that belt—was a nightmare I couldn’t risk. I lingered in the tub far longer than necessary, the water cooling around me, my fingers pruning as I delayed the inevitable. Every minute I stayed, the dread grew heavier, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. Not yet.
Finally, I knew I couldn’t delay it any longer. I stood, grabbed a towel, and patted myself dry, my hands shaking as I wrapped it tightly around my waist, knotting it with fumbling fingers. She’d said no need to dress, but the thought of facing her bare again—after everything—made my chest tighten. I clung to the slim chance that the towel wouldn’t count as defiance, wouldn’t bring my dad storming up with the belt. It was a flimsy shield, but it was something. I shuffled out of the bathroom and stopped at the top of the stairs, staring down into the dim hallway below. My mouth went dry, my voice sticking in my throat. I didn’t want to call her. I didn’t want any of this.
“Mom?” I finally forced out, my voice barely a whisper, cracking with reluctance. I cleared my throat, hating how small I sounded, and tried again, louder but still hesitant. “Mom… I’m, uh… I’m done.” The words dragged out of me, each one a battle, my heart hammering as I waited for her response.
“Well that’s about time. Sit by the side of your bed. I’ll be right there,” she replied from downstairs, her tone clipped and unwavering. I gripped the towel tighter, my knuckles whitening, and shuffled to my bedroom, the hallway stretching out like a gauntlet. The damp fabric clung to my hips, a meager defense against what was coming. My bed sat in the corner, mocking me—sleep was supposed to be a refuge, not a prelude to more punishment. I sank onto the edge of the mattress, the towel bunching under me, and perched there, hands clasped in my lap, my bare feet flat against the cold floor. Every creak of the house made me flinch, my pulse racing as I waited, the sting from downstairs still pulsing across my skin.
The stairs groaned under my mom’s steady steps, and I tensed, my breath catching. Her shadow crossed the doorway, but then—inexplicably—she kept going. I heard her footsteps recede down the hall toward her bedroom, leaving me blinking in confusion. For a fleeting second, I wondered if she’d changed her mind, if I’d somehow dodged what was coming. My shoulders sagged slightly, hope flickering, but it didn’t last. The floor creaked again, louder this time, and she reappeared in my doorway, her silhouette sharper now. In her hand was a hairbrush—her hairbrush, its wide, flat back catching the light as she stepped inside. She’d gone to fetch it, and that realization hit me like a punch to the gut.
Her eyes narrowed as they landed on me, hunched on the bed with the towel still knotted around my waist. “Stand up,” she said, her voice sharp and commanding. I hesitated, my hands gripping the edge of the bed, but her gaze hardened. “Now, Ethan.”
I slid off the mattress, my legs shaky, and stood in front of her, the towel still clinging to me. She stepped closer, then sat where I’d been, the bed creaking slightly under her weight. With a brisk gesture, she pointed to her side. “Over here,” she said, and I shuffled reluctantly to stand just to her right, close enough to feel the heat of her presence. The hairbrush rested on her lap, her fingers curled loosely around its handle, and she looked up at me, her expression stern. “You’re still wrapped up. I told you no need to dress. Drop that towel.”
My chest tightened, panic surging. “Mom, please,” I stammered, my voice cracking as I glanced at the hairbrush, its threat looming larger now that I was so close. “Not again—not so soon! Not with that! I just got it downstairs—I can’t take it again, not yet!”
She didn’t flinch. “Ethan,” she said, her tone cold and unyielding, “you don’t get to decide what you can take. You earned this—every bit of it—with that attitude of yours. Drop the towel, or I’ll call your father up here to deal with you with his belt.”
The mention of my dad—and the belt—sent a shiver down my spine. My hands trembled as they hovered over the knot, my eyes darting between her and the brush. “Please, Mom,” I begged, my voice breaking, tears prickling at the corners of my eyes again. “I’m sorry, okay? I’ll do better—I swear—just not the hairbrush, not now!”
Her expression didn’t soften. “Drop it,” she repeated, her gaze locked on mine, daring me to push her further. “You’ve had your warning. Don’t make this worse.”
With a choked breath, I loosened the knot, and the towel slipped to the floor, pooling around my feet. Instinctively, my hands darted forward to cover my genitals, a desperate attempt to cling to some shred of dignity as I stood there, fully nude, just inches from her side.
“Ethan!” my mom snapped, her hand flashing out faster than I could react. She slapped my hands away, the sharp sting on my knuckles jolting me upright. “Don’t you dare touch yourself in front of me! Keep those hands at your sides—now.”
I flinched, my arms dropping limply, and the mortification crashed over me like a tidal wave. I was completely exposed, every inch of me laid bare under the harsh light of my bedroom. My face burned, a deep, searing red that crept down my neck, and I couldn’t meet her eyes—couldn’t even look at the floor without feeling the weight of my nakedness. The cool air prickled against my skin, amplifying the raw vulnerability, and I stood there, rigid and trembling, as she shifted the hairbrush in her grip, its wide, flat back a constant menace in my peripheral vision.
She leaned forward slightly, her voice low and deliberate, each word cutting deeper than the last. “You see this, Ethan?” she said, tapping the hairbrush against her palm for emphasis. “This is what happens when you don’t obey us the first time. Your father and I shouldn’t have to repeat ourselves. We shouldn’t have to drag you kicking and screaming for punishment—not at your age.”
I swallowed hard, my throat dry, my chest heaving with shallow breaths. The lecture drilled into me, but it was the exposure that crushed me—standing there, stark naked, my genitals dangling helplessly, no shield, no escape. My earlier bravado was a distant memory, replaced by a suffocating shame that made my knees weak. She didn’t raise her voice, didn’t need to; the calm authority in her tone, paired with my utter humiliation, was enough to make me feel smaller than I’d ever felt.
“You think you can mouth off, ignore us, be a smartass?” she continued, the hairbrush tapping a slow, deliberate rhythm. “That stops tonight. You obey the first time, or you’ll be right back here—or worse, with your father. And trust me, you don’t want that.” She paused, letting the weight of her words sink in, her eyes boring into me as I stood there, defenseless, my hands twitching at my sides, desperate to cover myself but too afraid to move.
The room felt like it was shrinking, the walls closing in as I endured her gaze, the hairbrush poised like a guillotine. My skin crawled with embarrassment, every second stretching into an eternity, and all I could do was nod faintly, tears stinging my eyes again, praying she’d finish the lecture and let me crawl into bed—though I knew the spanking was still coming.
“Enough standing there,” my mom said abruptly, her tone shifting from lecture to command. “Over my knee—now.” She patted her lap with the hairbrush, the sound a dull thud that made my stomach lurch.
I hesitated, my legs locked in place, but her eyes narrowed, and I knew stalling would only make it worse. Swallowing a whimper, I shuffled closer and bent forward, my bare skin prickling as I lowered myself across her lap. She adjusted me with a firm hand, pulling me further until my feet lifted off the ground, dangling uselessly behind me. My head dipped low, my hair brushing the carpet, and I pressed my palms flat against the floor to steady myself, my fingers digging into the worn fibers. From this angle, I could see her mid-heel shoes—black, scuffed at the edges—and the delicate curve of her ankles, a strange, mundane detail that grounded me in the midst of my humiliation.
I felt her shift beneath me, her thighs solid under my stomach, and then her hand rested on my lower back, pinning me in place. The hairbrush tapped lightly against my already tender backside, and I flinched at the contact, a small, involuntary sound escaping my throat. She paused, and I could sense her looking down at me, assessing the damage from earlier.
“Your bum’s a sorry sight already,” she said, her voice matter-of-fact, almost detached. “Red as a tomato and marked up from the clothes brush. But don’t think for a second I’ll hold back because of it.” She tapped the hairbrush again, harder this time, and I tensed, my breath hitching. “This is what you get for disobedience, rudeness, and backtalk. You brought this on yourself, Ethan, and you’re going to feel every bit of it.”
I squeezed my eyes shut, my hands pressing harder into the carpet, bracing for the inevitable. The position—head down, feet dangling, completely exposed—stripped away any last shred of control. My mom’s shoes shifted slightly in my blurred vision as she adjusted her grip, and I knew there was no mercy coming. The hairbrush lifted, the air shifting above me, and then it came down with a sharp, stinging crack against my already tender backside.
I couldn’t hold back the scream that tore out of me. Each smack stung like fire, sharp and precise, landing on skin already pounded raw by Dad’s clothes brush earlier. His heavy whacks had left my backside a bruised, throbbing mess, but Mom’s hairbrush was different—lighter, sure, but it bit into me with this cruel, pinpoint snap that made everything hurt worse. And the bath—the stupid bath I’d just taken—made it unbearable. I’d sat in that hot water thinking it’d wash away the dread, but all it did was soften me up, leaving my skin damp and tender, like it was begging to feel every blow twice as bad. Now, sprawled across her lap, I was paying for it. The warm water had soaked in deep, stripping away any toughness I had left, and every crack of that hairbrush hit me like a lightning bolt, the sting amplified, the burn searing through me.
“Mommy, I can’t—I can’t take it!” I wailed, my voice cracking into a high-pitched mess as I squirmed over her knees. My legs kicked uselessly, toes curling in the air, but she held me down, her hand firm on my lower back. The bath’s heat clung to me, making my backside so sensitive that each smack felt like it was peeling me apart. I’d thought the water would help, but it was a traitor—softening me up just so the hairbrush could dig in deeper, turning what might’ve been bearable into pure torture. “Mommy, please—it’s too much!” I begged, my hands clawing at the carpet below, fingers digging in as if I could pull myself away from the pain.
Hanging there, head down, feet dangling, I felt the blood rush to my face, mixing with the tears streaming out of me. I tried to bite my lip, hold it in, but after the fifth or sixth smack, I broke. A sob ripped through me, loud and ugly, and the tears just poured down, dripping onto the carpet. “Mommy, stop—I’m sorry!” I cried, my voice a wreck as the hairbrush kept coming, each strike hitting skin that was still soft and swollen from the bath, making it feel like she was spanking me raw all over again. My hands scrabbled at the floor, desperate for something to hold onto, but there was no escaping it—the pain was everywhere, a blazing storm I couldn’t outrun, and that damn bathwater made sure I felt every second of it.
“Stop, Mommy—I’m sorry!” I begged, my voice cracking as the spanking continued, the steady cadence of the hairbrush unrelenting. My legs kicked weakly, my feet flailing in the air, but her hand on my lower back kept me pinned, immobile under the onslaught. The pain was overwhelming, a white-hot blaze that consumed every thought, and my breakdown was total—sobbing, pleading, my pride shattered as I called her “Mommy” over and over, the word a lifeline I clung to through the torment.
She didn’t pause, didn’t soften. The hairbrush kept falling, its lighter sting crueler on my already punished, softened skin, drawing out the misery until I was a blubbering mess, my face wet with tears and snot, my body trembling across her lap. All I could see through the haze were her mid-heel shoes and delicate ankles, a blurry anchor as I drowned in the pain and humiliation, begging for it to end.
My sobs echoed in the small room, my pleas of “Mommy, please!” dissolving into hiccupping gasps. Then, abruptly, the hairbrush stopped, hovering in the air above me. The sudden silence was jarring, broken only by my ragged breathing and the soft drip of tears hitting the carpet. My body trembled, still braced for the next strike, but it didn’t come—not yet.
My mom’s hand rested heavier on my lower back, keeping me pinned across her lap as she shifted slightly. “Ethan,” she said, her voice calm but edged with steel, “are you listening to me?” I nodded weakly, my head bobbing near the floor, too broken to speak. She didn’t wait for more. “Good. Because you need to hear this. You’re going to start obeying your father and me—the first time we tell you something. No rudeness, no backtalk. Do you understand what tonight’s about?”
I whimpered, my hands flexing against the carpet, and managed a choked, “Yes, Mommy.” The word felt raw, exposing me further, but I couldn’t stop it.
“This,” she continued, tapping the hairbrush lightly against my throbbing backside—making me flinch—“is what happens when you don’t. You’ve been rude, disobedient, and lazy, and we’re done with it. You’re not a small child anymore, but you’re acting like one, so we’re treating you like one until you shape up. Next time we say something, you do it—right away—or this hairbrush will be the least of your worries.”
Her words sank in, each one a weight pressing me deeper into submission. My face burned with shame, my nakedness and the childish “Mommy” still hanging in the air, amplifying the lecture’s sting. I nodded again, sniffling, desperate to show I’d learned something—anything—to make this stop.
But she wasn’t finished. “We’re not done here,” she said, her tone hardening. “You’ve got more coming, so you’d better brace yourself.” Before I could process her words, the hairbrush lifted again, and the spanking resumed. The first smack landed with that same lighter-but-torturous force, reigniting the fire across my already ravaged skin. I yelped, my body jerking, and the tears flowed freely once more.
“Mommy, no—please!” I begged, my voice shrill and broken as the hairbrush fell again and again, each strike a fresh torment on my oversensitive backside. My feet kicked uselessly, my hands scrabbling at the carpet as I tried to steady myself, but there was no escape.
Right then, with my head dangling low and my bottom blazing, I made a promise to myself, fierce and desperate. Never again, I swore, the thought cutting through the haze of pain like a knife. I’m never disobeying them again—never mouthing off, never giving them a reason to do this. The vow burned in my chest as the hairbrush landed again and again, making me gasp and writhe. I’d do whatever they said, the first time, every time—no backtalk, no attitude, nothing. I couldn’t take this—not the clothes brush, not the hairbrush, not the way that stupid bath made it all so much worse. “Mommy, I’m sorry!” I wailed, the words spilling out as the tears kept falling, my promise hardening inside me. I’ll be good—I swear I’ll be good—just make it stop.
More smacks hit, and I choked on my sobs, my toes curling in the air. The pain was everywhere, sharp and hot, but that vow held me together, a lifeline I clung to as my pride melted away. I’d obey them—Dad, Mom, both of them—forever if it meant I’d never end up here again, naked and crying, my softened skin screaming under the hairbrush’s relentless sting.
The steady rhythm continued, and I broke down completely, sobbing uncontrollably, my pleas dissolving into incoherent cries as the hairbrush drove her lesson home—one agonizing smack at a time. My world narrowed to the searing sting, the helpless kicking of my legs, and the wet smear of tears and snot on my face. I lost track of how many times the hairbrush fell—each strike blurred into the next until it finally stopped.
The silence hit me like a shockwave, my body still trembling across her lap, my breath coming in shuddering gasps. My mom set the hairbrush down beside her, her hand lingering on my back for a moment before she shifted. “Up,” she said, her voice firm but quieter now, the edge softened just enough to signal the end. She gripped my arm and pulled me upright, my legs wobbling as I found my footing. My hands twitched toward my backside, desperate to rub the fire away, but her sharp look stopped me cold.
I stood there, naked and sniffling, my head bowed as the tears dripped off my chin. The carpet blurred beneath me, my knees threatening to buckle from the pain and exhaustion. She rose from the bed, brushing off her lap, and crossed the room to my dresser. I heard the drawer slide open, the rustle of fabric, and then she was back, holding my faded blue pajamas—the ones with the worn-out knees I’d had since I was fifteen.
“Arms up,” she said, and I obeyed numbly, lifting my shaky arms as she slipped the pajama top over my head. The soft cotton brushed against my skin, a small comfort against the throbbing ache below. She knelt then, holding the bottoms open. “Step in.” I did, one foot at a time, wincing as the waistband slid over my tender backside. She pulled them up gently but efficiently, dressing me like I was a little kid again, her movements brisk and matter-of-fact. The humiliation stung almost as much as the spanking, but I was too drained to protest.
She straightened up, eyeing me for a moment, then pointed to the bed. “In you go.” I shuffled over, every step a reminder of the punishment, and climbed under the covers, the sheets cool against my legs. She pulled the blanket up to my chest, tucking it around me with a firm tug, her hands lingering as she smoothed it flat. I lay there, my face still wet, my body curled slightly to ease the pressure on my backside.
Leaning down, she fixed me with a steady look. “You’ve got one more coming in the morning—from your father,” she said, her voice low but clear. “So you’d best think about that while you’re lying here. No more nonsense, Ethan. You’re going to straighten up, starting now.”
I nodded weakly, my throat too raw to speak, and she stood, brushing her hands together like she’d finished a chore. She picked up the hairbrush from the bed, gave me one last glance, and turned toward the door. “Sleep,” she said, flicking off the light as she left, the room plunging into darkness. The door clicked shut behind her, and I was alone, the ache in my body and the dread of morning settling over me like a heavy fog.
——
The night passed in a restless blur, my sleep fractured by the persistent ache in my backside and the looming threat of what awaited me. When the first light crept through my window, I dragged myself out of bed, wincing with every movement. The cool floor stung my bare feet as I shuffled to my dresser, pulling on a pair of jeans and a loose T-shirt, each motion deliberate to avoid aggravating the soreness. I glanced in the mirror—my eyes were puffy, my face still faintly blotched from crying—but there was no time to dwell. Breakfast was calling, and with it, the inevitable.
I crept downstairs, the house quiet except for the faint clatter of dishes from the kitchen. My stomach twisted as I stepped into the room, the smell of toast and coffee hitting me. My little sister, Lily, was still at the table, her blonde ponytail bobbing as she scooped cereal into her mouth. She’d been out late last night—some sleepover or movie night that kept her gone past my enforced early bedtime—and now she sat there, crunching away like nothing had happened. My mom was there too, seated across from Lily, sipping coffee, her expression unreadable. My dad sat at the head of the table, buttering toast, his broad shoulders hunched over the plate. No one said a word about last night—not the spanking, not the tears, not Mrs. Hiram. It hung in the air anyway, a silent weight pressing down on me.
I slid into my chair, biting back a hiss as my tender backside met the hard wood. Lily glanced up, smirking faintly—maybe at my stiff posture, maybe just because she was twelve and loved needling me—but she didn’t say anything. I grabbed a piece of toast and kept my head down, chewing mechanically, the food tasteless in my dry mouth. The clink of spoons and the rustle of the newspaper filled the silence, and I prayed it’d stay that way. Breakfast dragged on, every second ticking closer to what I knew was coming.
When the plates were mostly cleared, Lily lingered over her last bites of cereal, and my mom sat back with her coffee cup, her eyes flicking between us. I stayed put, my hands gripping the edge of the table, dreading the shift I could feel coming. Then my dad pushed his chair back, the legs scraping loudly against the floor. He didn’t stand, just sat there, his posture relaxed but his eyes fixed on me with that stern, unyielding look. My heart sank as he turned slightly, still seated, and addressed the table.
“Lily, your brother got some discipline last night,” he said, his voice steady and deliberate, cutting through the morning calm as he looked at her. She froze, spoon halfway to her mouth, her eyes darting to me. My mom set her cup down, her gaze settling on me too. “For his effort and attitude at school,” he continued. “He’s been slacking off, mouthing off, and it’s not acceptable. But he resisted—fought us every step of the way. So now, he’s getting spanked again, right here, right now.”
My stomach dropped, a cold sweat breaking out across my skin. “Dad, no—please!” I stammered, my voice cracking, but he ignored me, patting his knee with one hand as he pushed his chair back further, making room. Lily’s eyes widened, a mix of shock and glee flickering across her face as she stayed rooted in her seat. My mom leaned forward slightly, her elbows on the table, watching silently.
“Over my knee, Ethan,” my dad said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Pants down. You’re getting a hand spanking like the child you’ve been acting like, and your mom and sister are going to see it happen.”
I gripped the table harder, my knuckles white, panic clawing at my chest. Lily’s wide eyes flicked between me and Dad, her spoon now forgotten in her bowl, while Mom sat still, her face a mask of quiet resolve. The kitchen felt suffocating, the air thick with the weight of their stares. I couldn’t do this—not here, not like this, not in front of them.
“Dad, please,” I begged, my voice trembling as I slid my chair back an inch, desperate for any reprieve. “Not now—not in front of them!”
His hand paused mid-air, hovering over his knee, and his eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint sparking in them. “More backtalk?” he said, his voice low and sharp, cutting through my plea like a blade. “Fine. Now your underpants are coming down too. Keep it up, Ethan—would you like to try for the belt instead?”
My breath hitched, the threat slamming into me like a brick. The belt—his earlier warning echoed in my head, the promise of a tanning I wouldn’t sit through for a week. I shook my head frantically, my hands fumbling at my jeans as I stood, the chair scraping behind me. “No—no, I’ll do it,” I mumbled, my voice barely audible, defeat washing over me. Lily’s smirk twitched wider, and Mom’s gaze didn’t waver, her silence louder than words.
I unbuttoned my jeans with shaking fingers, the zipper loud in the quiet room, and pushed them down to my knees, the fabric pooling around my calves. My face burned, the humiliation choking me as I stood there in my underpants, the thin cotton doing little to shield me from their eyes. Dad patted his knee again, impatient now. “Underpants too, thanks to that mouth of yours. Over here—now.”
My face burned hotter, a scalding flush that crept down my neck as I stood there, jeans bunched around my knees, the kitchen table a stage for my disgrace. Lily’s eyes sparkled with barely contained glee, her smirk stretching into a full grin—she hadn’t been spanked like this in years, having outgrown such “baby” punishments, and now she got to watch me, her big brother, reduced to this. Mom’s steady gaze didn’t flinch, her coffee cup still cradled in her hands, as if this were just another part of the morning routine.
I hooked my thumbs into the waistband of my underpants, my hands trembling so badly I nearly lost my grip. With a shaky breath, I shoved them down, the cool air hitting my bare skin as they joined my jeans in a humiliating heap. The childishness of it—stripped and about to go over Dad’s knee like some naughty toddler—made my stomach churn with shame. I shuffled forward, every step a wobbly surrender, and draped myself across his lap, my toes barely brushing the floor, my head hanging low. My hands instinctively gripped his leg for balance, my fingers digging into the rough fabric of his work pants.
Dad adjusted me with a firm tug, pulling me further over until my backside was high and exposed, my legs dangling uselessly like a little kid’s. “This is what happens when you act like a child,” he said, his voice gruff as his big hand rested on my already sore skin, the calluses rough against the tender welts from last night. “So you get treated like one—right where your mom and sister can see.”
The first smack landed, a loud, open-handed crack that echoed off the kitchen walls. It wasn’t as brutal as the clothes brush or hairbrush, but the sheer indignity of it—his hand swatting me like I was five—hit harder than the sting itself. I yelped, a high-pitched, pathetic sound that made Lily snicker, her delight bubbling over as she leaned forward in her chair, chin propped on her hands like she was watching a show. “Aw, poor Ethan,” she teased under her breath, just loud enough for me to hear, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. “And his bum was already so red!”
Another smack followed, then another, each one a humiliating clap that turned my backside a fresh shade of red. My legs kicked involuntarily, my sneakers scuffing the floor, and I couldn’t stop the whines spilling out of me—childish, desperate noises that only fueled Lily’s glee. “Mommy! Daddy, please!” I blurted, the words tumbling out in a frantic, babyish wail I couldn’t control. My face crumpled, tears prickling my eyes as the spanking continued, each swat a reminder of how small and powerless I’d become.
Lily giggled outright now, no longer hiding it, her laughter sharp and gleeful. “He’s crying like a baby!” she said, loud enough for Mom to shoot her a quick glance—but Mom didn’t say anything, just sipped her coffee, her lips twitching faintly. Dad’s hand kept falling, steady and unrelenting, the childish rhythm driving me deeper into mortification. My hands flailed, one slipping from his leg to the floor, and I sobbed openly, my dignity shredded as my little sister reveled in my downfall, safe in her smug superiority, no longer subject to such “kiddie” discipline herself.
The spanking didn’t last long—maybe three dozen smacks, maybe less—but it felt like forever, each swat a fresh humiliation that left me blubbering, my face a mess of tears and snot. When Dad finally stopped, his hand resting heavily on my stinging backside, I was a wreck, my chest heaving with hiccupping sobs. “Up,” he grunted, gripping my arm and hauling me off his lap. My legs wobbled as I stumbled to my feet, my jeans and underpants still tangled around my ankles, leaving me bare and ridiculous in the middle of the kitchen.
“No pulling those up yet,” he said, his voice gruff and unyielding as he pointed to the bare stretch of wall near the fridge. “Over there. Face it ‘til it’s time to go. Pants stay down—let that lesson sink in.”
My stomach plummeted, a fresh wave of shame crashing over me. I shuffled to the wall, my sneakers catching on the bunched fabric, my bare backside exposed to the room as I pressed my nose against the cold, smooth surface. My hands hung limp at my sides, twitching with the urge to cover myself, but I didn’t dare. The tears kept coming, quieter now but unstoppable, dripping down my chin as I blubbered softly, my breath hitching with every sob. Lily’s chair scraped as she finally got up, her voice bright and chirpy. “Guess I’ll get my bag now,” she said, practically skipping out of the room, her delight in my misery—and my naked humiliation—ringing in every word.
Mom stayed at the table for a moment, the clink of her coffee cup settling back on its saucer the only sound. Then she rose, her chair creaking, and started clearing the last of the dishes. “Five minutes, Ethan,” she said, her tone brisk as she moved to the sink. “Then we’re leaving for school. You and Lily in the car—no dawdling.”
I nodded against the wall, my forehead brushing the paint, too broken to respond. The minutes crawled by, my backside throbbing, my face wet and sticky, the childish punishment amplified by the cold air on my bare skin. Lily’s footsteps thudded back into the kitchen, her backpack slung over one shoulder, and I could feel her smirking at my back, reveling in the sight of her big brother reduced to a sniveling, half-naked mess against the wall. Mom grabbed her keys, the jingle sharp in the quiet, and called out, “Time’s up. Pull those up and let’s go.”
I turned slowly, my hands fumbling to yank my underpants and jeans back into place, the rough denim scraping against my tender skin as I winced. Wiping my sleeve across my face, my eyes red and swollen, I trailed them to the door, every step a reminder of the morning—and the day ahead—still waiting to swallow me whole.
I turned slowly, my hands fumbling to yank my underpants and jeans back into place, the rough denim scraping against my tender skin as I winced. Wiping my sleeve across my face, my eyes red and swollen, I trailed them to the door, every step a reminder of the morning—and the day ahead—still waiting to swallow me whole.
Mom was already at the front door, keys in hand, her purse slung over her shoulder. “Car—now,” she said, her voice clipped as she held the door open. Lily darted past me, her backpack bouncing, a smug little spring in her step as she headed for the driveway. I followed, head down, the ache in my backside flaring with every movement. Mom locked the house behind us, and we piled into the old station wagon—Lily and me shoved into the back seat together, her on the left, me on the right. I slid in gingerly, biting my lip as I settled onto the worn upholstery, the pressure reigniting the sting. Lily shot me a sidelong glance, her lips twitching, but she kept quiet—for now.
Mom climbed into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and pulled out without a word. The radio hummed low, some talk show I didn’t care about, and the silence between us was thick. Lily fidgeted with her backpack straps, sneaking looks at me, her delight barely contained. I stared out the window, my face hot, praying she’d keep her mouth shut. But she’d been waiting for this, and I knew why: all those times I’d teased her, called her a crybaby, mocked her for being the little one. Now the tables had turned, and she was ready to make me pay.
Lily shifted beside me, her elbow brushing mine just enough to make me flinch. I could feel her eyes on me, that gleeful spark she’d carried all morning simmering, ready to strike. My hands clenched in my lap, the denim of my jeans rough against my palms, every bump in the road jolting through my sore backside like a fresh smack. I shifted slightly, trying to ease the pressure, but there was no escaping it—or her.
Sure enough, Lily couldn’t hold back any longer. “So, Ethan,” she started, her voice thick with mock curiosity, “what did it feel like, huh? Getting spanked like a little baby over Dad’s knee?” She leaned closer, her ponytail swinging as she tilted her head, her grin sharp and wicked. “Come on, tell me—how’d it feel, crying and kicking while his hand kept smacking you? Bet you loved bawling like a total infant, didn’t you?”
“Shut up, Lily,” I snapped, my voice hoarse and raw, my face flaring red again. I kept my eyes on the window, but the heat crawled up my neck, her questions dragging every humiliating detail back into focus.
“Ethan,” Mom cut in from the front, her tone sharp and clipped, her eyes flicking to me in the rearview mirror. “Watch your tone. You’re in no position to talk back.” She didn’t even glance at Lily, just kept driving, her hands steady on the wheel. That faint smirk played on her lips again, a quiet nod to Lily’s taunts, like she was letting them pile on as extra punishment.
Lily pounced on the opening, her voice rising with glee. “Oh, come on, Ethan, don’t be shy! Was it scary when you had to pull your underpants down too, leaving you’re little thingy all bare for us to see? Did you feel like a big boy then, or just a helpless little kid? And going over Daddy’s knee—did it make you wanna hide, or were you too busy squealing? I bet kicking your legs like that really helped, huh, while you sobbed like a baby getting his diaper changed!” She laughed, a bright, cutting sound that filled the car, her questions relentless, each one a jab at my shredded dignity.
I clenched my jaw, my fists tightening until my nails bit into my palms. “You’re such a brat,” I muttered under my breath, barely audible, but her ears were too sharp.
“A brat? Me?” she shot back, twisting toward me, her eyes gleaming. “I’m not the one who got his bare bum smacked like a naughty two-year-old in front of everybody. So, what was it like, Ethan? Feeling Daddy’s hand coming down over and over while you wailed? Did you think crying ‘Mommy, Daddy’ would save you, or were you just too babyish to stop?” She giggled harder, leaning back in her seat, triumphant and merciless.
Mom stayed silent, her smirk unwavering, her eyes on the road as if Lily’s barrage was just part of the morning soundtrack. She didn’t stop her, didn’t flinch—her quiet approval let the teasing sink deeper, a fitting twist for all the times I’d made Lily the target. I sank lower in my seat, the ache in my backside pulsing, my pride in tatters. Lily’s school loomed ahead, a squat brick building. Mom pulled into the drop-off lane, the tires crunching on gravel, and shifted into park.
“There you are, Lily,” Mom said, and Lily hopped out, slamming the door with a cheery, “Bye, Mom! Bye, Ethan!”—the last part laced with a taunting edge that made me clench my fists.
With Lily gone, the car felt emptier but no less suffocating. Mom didn’t say anything as she merged back into traffic, heading for my high school. I sank lower in the seat, dreading the drop-off, but when we pulled into the parking lot, she didn’t stop at the usual spot. Instead, she parked near the front entrance, turned off the engine, and opened her door. “Come on,” she said, stepping out. My heart sank—she wasn’t just dropping me off. She was walking me in.
I scrambled out after her, wincing as I stood, and trailed behind as she strode toward the main doors, her heels clicking on the pavement. I kept my head down, my backpack slung over one shoulder, every step a jolt of misery. Inside, the halls were buzzing with morning chaos—kids laughing, lockers slamming—but Mom cut through it, heading straight for the office. My stomach twisted when I saw Mrs. Hiram standing there in the outer office, clipboard in hand, her sharp eyes locking onto us as we approached.
“Morning, Mrs. Hiram,” Mom said, her tone brisk but polite. She stopped beside me, one hand resting lightly on my shoulder, pinning me in place. “I wanted to let you know how we handled Ethan last night and this morning—make sure we’re all on the same page.”
Mrs. Hiram raised an eyebrow, her gaze flicking to me, then back to Mom. “Do tell,” she said, her voice cool and expectant.
“After you left,” Mom began, “he cooled his heels for one hour in the corner then bath and early bedtime. I tucked him in with the hairbrush in the privacy of his bedroom. He’d been defiant while you were over—resisting, mouthing off—and I wasn’t having it. Never mind the state of his bum from your visit; he got what he deserved. Then this morning, his father took him across his knee, right in front of me and his sister, for the same reason. Hand spanking, pants down, like a child—because that’s how he’s been acting.”
I stared at the floor, my face flaming, the linoleum tiles blurring as her words sank in. Mrs. Hiram’s lips pressed into a thin line, a faint nod of approval crossing her face. “I see,” she said, jotting something on her clipboard. “Sounds like a thorough approach. I’ll keep an eye on him today—make sure it sticks.”
“It’d better,” Mom replied, her hand tightening briefly on my shoulder before she let go. “First report’s Friday. Anything less than an A, and he knows what’s coming.” She turned to me, her voice dropping. “Straight to class, Ethan. No funny business.”
“Yes, ma’am,” I mumbled, my throat tight, and she gave me a final nod before heading back out, leaving me with Mrs. Hiram.
The mistress’s eyes lingered on me, a silent promise of scrutiny, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, my backpack sagging off one shoulder. Mrs. Hiram set her clipboard down on the office counter and pulled a small notepad from her pocket, her pen scratching across the paper with quick, precise strokes. The sound grated on my nerves, each scribble tightening the knot in my stomach. She finished, tore the note free, and signed it with a flourish before folding it in half and holding it out to me.
“Take this,” she said, her voice crisp and authoritative. “You’re to show it to each of your teachers today—every class, no exceptions. They’ll know what to do with it. Now get to homeroom. You’re already cutting it close.”
I took the note with trembling fingers, the paper cool and crisp against my sweaty palm, and nodded mutely. “Yes, ma’am,” I mumbled, my voice barely a whisper, and turned to shuffle out of the office. The halls were thinning out, the morning rush dying down as the bell loomed, but my feet dragged, dread pooling in my gut. I couldn’t resist—I had to know what it said. Halfway to homeroom, I ducked into a quiet corner near the lockers and unfolded the note, my breath catching as I scanned the words written in her neat, no-nonsense handwriting:
To Ethan Walker’s Teachers: Ethan is on academic probation due to poor effort and attitude. Please monitor his performance closely and send me a report by the end of the day Friday. Anything less than an A in your class will result in a strict paddling on the bare across his father’s knee, as per his parents’ disciplinary measures. Thank you for your cooperation. —Mrs. Hiram, Year Mistress
My stomach dropped, a wave of nausea surging up my throat. The words swam on the page, each one a fresh stab of humiliation—academic probation, strict paddling on the bare, his father’s knee. Every teacher would see this—every single one—and they’d know. They’d picture it: me, nearly eighteen, stripped and bawling like a toddler over Dad’s lap, the paddle cracking down. My face burned, a deep, scalding red that prickled under my collar, and I crumpled the note in my fist, only to smooth it out again, knowing I had no choice but to show it. Mrs. Hiram would check, and any slip-up would mean worse than embarrassment—it’d mean that paddling she’d promised.
The bell rang, sharp and insistent, jolting me out of my stupor. I shoved the note into my pocket and hurried to homeroom, my heart pounding as I slid into my seat just as the teacher called roll. Mr. Daniels, a gruff old guy with a permanent frown, glanced my way, and I swallowed hard, knowing I’d have to hand him the note after class. The day stretched out ahead of me—six periods, six teachers, six chances for them to read Mrs. Hiram’s mortifying decree and smirk or scowl or pity me. I sank lower in my chair, the ache in my backside a constant reminder of what was at stake, and prayed I could scrape those A’s—because the alternative was a nightmare I couldn’t face again.
——
The day dragged on like a slow torture, each class a fresh ordeal as I handed over Mrs. Hiram’s note. The final period of the day—French—felt like a slow descent into a pit of dread. I slunk into Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s classroom, my weakest subject and my last hurdle, and took my seat near the back, the folded note in my pocket burning against my thigh. The room filled with the usual chatter, but my eyes glued themselves to her—Mademoiselle Lefèvre, “The Fox,” as we boys called her behind her back. She stood at the blackboard, chalk in hand, her tight mid-thigh pencil skirt hugging every curve, her white blouse unbuttoned just a touch too low, the gold cross dangling provocatively in her cleavage. Her dark hair was swept up, and as she turned to write verb conjugations, her bum wriggled slightly, sending my thoughts tumbling into a chaotic mess of lust and terror. Her strict voice sliced through the noise with a single “Attention!” and the class obeyed instantly—she tolerated no nonsense whatsoever.
I sank lower in my chair, my backpack slumped on the desk, the ache in my backside a constant reminder of the stakes. I barely registered her melodic explanations of passé composé, my mind fixated on the note—the one Mrs. Hiram had ordered me to show every teacher, the one I’d have to hand her after class. I’d survived six periods of humiliation already—Mr. Daniels had grunted, my math teacher had raised an eyebrow, my history teacher had nodded sternly—but this was different. Mademoiselle Lefèvre was a fantasy for every boy in the room, myself included, and the thought of her reading those words—academic probation, strict paddling on the bare, my father’s knee—made my stomach churn with a nauseating blend of shame and panic. She’d know. She’d picture it. And she’d never look at me the same
The lesson dragged on, her voice lilting over conjugations as she paced the front, her heels clicking softly on the tile. My palms grew sweaty, the note’s crisp edges digging into my leg through my pocket. I tried to focus, scribbling half-hearted notes, but my eyes kept drifting—to the sway of her hips, the flash of the cross, the way her lips shaped each French word. I hated myself for it, hated how my body betrayed me even then, when I was one slip away from disaster. The bell loomed closer, and with every tick of the clock, my heart pounded harder. I rehearsed it in my head: “Mrs. Hiram said I have to show you this.” Simple. Quick. Then I’d bolt. But what if she asked questions? What if she said something?
“Ethan Walker,” she snapped suddenly, her voice cutting through my spiral. I jolted upright, my pencil clattering to the desk. Her sharp eyes locked onto me, and the room seemed to shrink. “Conjugate avoir in the present tense. Now.”
“Uh…” My mouth went dry, my brain blanking under her gaze. “J’ai, tu… tu as, il… il a…” I faltered, the rest dissolving into a mumble, and a few snickers rippled through the class.
“Non, non,” she said sharply, her tone like a whip. She turned back to the board, her skirt shifting as she wrote the full conjugation in crisp chalk lines. “J’ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, ils ont. It is not difficult, Ethan. Apply yourself better, or you will not succeed.” The correction stung, but it was nothing compared to what was coming. I nodded mutely, sinking back down, my face flaming.
The bell rang minutes later, sharp and insistent, and students surged for the door. I stayed put, my heart hammering as the room emptied. Mademoiselle Lefèvre erased the board with brisk, graceful sweeps, her back to me, and I gripped the note in my pocket, my fingers trembling. I had to do it—Mrs. Hiram would check. Slowly, I stood, my backpack slung over one shoulder, and shuffled toward her desk, each step a jolt of misery.
“Uh, Mademoiselle?” My voice cracked, barely audible over the squeak of the eraser. She turned, one dark eyebrow arching as she set the eraser down and dusted chalk from her hands.
“Oui, Ethan? What is it?” Her tone was firm but not unkind, her accent curling around the words in a way that made my stomach flip—for all the wrong reasons.
“I, um…” I fumbled the note out, unfolding it with clumsy fingers, and held it out, my eyes fixed on the floor. “Mrs. Hiram said I had to show this to all my teachers today.”
Her smile faded as she took it, unfolding the paper with delicate fingers. I stood there, shifting from foot to foot, my face flaming as her eyes scanned the text. I could almost see her imagining it—me, nearly eighteen, bare and blubbering over Dad’s knee, the paddle cracking down. She set the note down, tapping it with one manicured nail, her lips pressing into a thin line. “Mon dieu,” she murmured, her accent curling around the words like a song. “This is… quite serious, Ethan. Academic probation? And this—” she paused, glancing at the part about the paddling, her voice dropping—“this consequence from your père. You must be very careful.”
I stared at the floor, my sneakers scuffing the tiles, mortified beyond words. She was so poised, so elegant, and now she knew I was some dumb kid who got spanked like a toddler. “French is not your strong suit, non?” she continued, her tone gentle but firm. “If you are to make an A with me, you’ll need extra work. Sit—right here.” She pointed to a chair beside her desk, and I obeyed, sinking into it with a wince, the hard seat reigniting the ache in my backside.
She pulled a blank sheet of paper from her stack and slid it in front of me, along with a pen. “You will write this note again—in French,” she said, picking up the original and reading it aloud in her melodic voice. “I will dictate. Begin: À l’attention des professeurs d’Ethan Walker: Ethan est en probation académique en raison d’un manque d’effort et d’une mauvaise attitude.” I scribbled as fast as I could, my hand cramping, my brain scrambling to keep up with her flawless pronunciation. She continued, dictating the rest: “Veuillez surveiller ses performances de près et m’envoyer un rapport d’ici la fin de la journée de vendredi. Toute note inférieure à un A entraînera une fessée stricte sur ses fesses nues sur les genoux de son père, selon les mesures disciplinaires de ses parents. Merci de votre coopération. —Mme Hiram, maîtresse d’année.”
When I finished, my handwriting a shaky mess, she took the paper and scanned it, her pen hovering. “Hmm,” she said, circling a word. “Performances—you wrote parformances. No ‘a’ there. And here—” she tapped another spot—“fessée has two ‘s’s, not one. This is sloppy, Ethan. You must do better.” She corrected each mistake with quick, precise marks, her accent softening the sting of her critique but not the embarrassment. “If you want that A, you’ll need to study—hard. I’ll expect improvement by Friday, or…” She trailed off, glancing at the note, and I knew she meant the paddling.
“Now off you go,” she said, handing me the corrected French version. “Study it.” I nodded, stuffing it into my bag, and bolted out as soon as she dismissed me, her delightful accent echoing in my ears alongside the unbearable shame of her knowing—and now holding—my fate.
——
The rest of the week became a blur of desperate focus—every class, every assignment, every quiz a lifeline to avoid the paddling I’d been promised. I stayed up late, poring over textbooks, my desk littered with notes and flashcards, my backside still tender enough to keep me motivated. By Friday, I felt a fragile confidence in most subjects—math problems clicked, history dates stuck, science formulas held firm. But French? French was a disaster.
The grammar quizzes tripped me up, verb conjugations tangling in my head like a knotted rope. The dictées—those rapid-fire sentences Mademoiselle Lefèvre read aloud in her musical accent—left me scrambling, my spelling a mess of guesswork and crossed-out errors. Each day in her class, I sank lower in my seat, her gentle corrections—“Non, Ethan, j’ai été, not j’etais”—piling dread onto my shoulders. By the time Friday’s last period rolled around, I knew I was teetering on the edge.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day—and the week. My classmates streamed out of the French classroom, laughing and slamming lockers, but I stayed behind, my heart hammering as I approached Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s desk. She was gathering her papers, her dark hair falling softly over one shoulder, and I clutched my backpack strap. This was it—my last chance.
“Mademoiselle Lefèvre,” I started, my voice cracking as she looked up with that warm, disarming smile. “Please—I’ve been trying so hard all week. I know French isn’t my best, but can you give me an A? Please? I need it—Mrs. Hiram’s report, my parents—they’ll—” I stopped, my throat tightening as tears stung my eyes. “Please, I’m begging you. I’ve studied every night—I can’t fail this!”
Her smile faded, replaced by a sympathetic but firm look. She set her papers down and leaned forward slightly, her hazel eyes steady. “Ethan, I see you have tried, oui. Harder than before. But an A? Non, I cannot. Your quizzes, the dictées—they were… not good. Your grammar is weak, your spelling—” She shook her head. “A C, perhaps, and that is generous.”
“No, please!” I choked out, stepping closer, my voice rising as the tears spilled over, hot and desperate. “Not a C—anything but that! I’ll do extra work next week, I’ll come in early, I’ll stay late—please, Mademoiselle, you don’t understand what they’ll do to me! I’m begging you—don’t give me a C!” My hands clenched into fists, my chest heaving as I sobbed, the shame of crying in front of her only making it worse. “Please, I can’t take it—I need an A!”
She tilted her head, her expression softening with curiosity. “Ethan, calm yourself,” she said, her accent soothing despite the situation. “Will it be so bad, this consequence? Tell me—what do you imagine will happen?”
I swiped at my face, my voice trembling as I forced the words out. “My dad—he’ll paddle me, bare, over his knee. Hard—like I’m some little kid. Right in front of my mom and my sister, Lily—she’ll laugh. It’ll hurt so much, worse than last time, and I—I won’t be able to sit for days. Everyone will know!” My sobs broke through again, my imagination running wild with the crack of the paddle, Lily’s giggles, Mom’s stern nod.
Mademoiselle Lefèvre sighed, leaning back with a faint, knowing smile. “Ethan,” she said firmly, “you have earned this consequence, and there are worse things than sleeping on your tummy for a night or two. Perhaps a fessée stricte—avec tes pantalons baissés, ton derrière nu—will motivate you, non?” Her accent wrapped around the French words, making them sound almost elegant despite their sting. “Accept your punition and learn from it. A C is what you have earned, and that is what I will report to Mrs. Hiram.”
I stumbled back, my legs weak, the classroom empty now except for us. She picked up her pen, jotting something on a slip of paper—my fate sealed in her elegant script. “Go home, Ethan,” she said, her voice kind but resolute. “Accept your punishment and learn from it. Try harder next week.” My tears still streamed, blurring her poised figure as I grabbed my bag, the weight of her words and the looming paddling crushing me. I turned toward the door, my chest tight with frustration and helplessness, and as I crossed the threshold, I couldn’t stop myself. “Bitch,” I muttered under my breath, the word slipping out in a bitter, barely audible hiss.
——
Her head snapped up, her pen clattering to the desk. “Quoi?!” she snapped, her accent sharpening with fury. Before I could take another step, she was out of her chair, her heels clicking furiously across the floor. I froze, panic surging, but she was faster—her hand shot out, seizing my ear in a vise-like grip. “You dare!” she hissed, twisting hard enough to make me yelp as she yanked me back into the room. “To Mrs. Hiram—now!”
She marched me out the door, her slender fingers clamped tight, dragging me down the hall by my ear. My bag bounced against my hip, my free hand flailing as I stumbled to keep up, tears of pain and humiliation mixing with the ones already staining my face. Her usual grace was gone, replaced by a blazing anger I’d never seen—her eyes narrowed, her jaw set, her French accent thick with outrage. “Insolent boy!” she spat, her voice low but venomous. “You think you can speak to me like that? Non, non—this ends now.”
The halls were mostly empty, but a few stragglers gaped as she hauled me toward the office, my ear throbbing under her grip. She didn’t slow down, her fury propelling us forward until we burst through the door of Mrs. Hiram’s office. The year mistress looked up from her desk, her sharp eyes narrowing as Mademoiselle Lefèvre shoved me forward, releasing my ear with a final twist that left it burning.
“This boy,” Mademoiselle Lefèvre said, her voice trembling with rage, “just called me a salope—a bitch—after I told him his grade. A C, which he earned, and now this disrespect!” She crossed her arms, her chest heaving, her accent making every word a dagger. “I will not tolerate it!”
Mrs. Hiram’s gaze shifted to me, cold and unyielding, and I shrank under it, my hands clutching my bag like a shield. My fate, already sealed with the C, now teetered on the edge of something worse, and I knew I’d just lit the fuse on a bomb I couldn’t defuse. She didn’t say a word to me at first, just reached for the phone on her desk, her movements sharp and deliberate. Mademoiselle Lefèvre stood there, arms crossed, her fury still simmering as Mrs. Hiram dialed.
“Mr. and Mrs. Walker? This is Mrs. Hiram at the school,” she said, her voice clipped and professional. “We’ve had an incident with Ethan. He insulted Mademoiselle Lefèvre—called her a derogatory name—after she informed him of his C grade in French. Yes, it’s serious. Can you come to the office immediately?” A pause, then a nod. “Ten minutes? Good. We’ll be waiting.” She hung up, her eyes flicking back to me with a look that promised no mercy.
“Out,” she snapped, pointing to the door. “Stand in the hallway, at attention—face the wall, hands on your head. Now.” I opened my mouth to protest, but Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s glare silenced me. I dropped my bag and shuffled out, my ear still throbbing from her grip. Facing the wall just outside the office door, I raised my arms and locked my fingers behind my head, elbows out, my posture rigid as ordered. My shoulders tensed, my legs locked straight, and the tears dried into sticky trails on my cheeks. Behind me, the office door stayed open a crack, and I could hear the low murmur of Mrs. Hiram and Mademoiselle Lefèvre chatting—too quiet to make out words, but the tone was grim, punctuated by the French teacher’s occasional sharp interjections.
The hallway wasn’t as empty as I’d hoped. A few stragglers—kids grabbing late books or heading to after-school clubs—passed by, their footsteps slowing as they spotted me. A couple of freshmen girls sniggered, their whispers cutting through the quiet. “What’d he do?” one muttered, followed by a stifled laugh. “Whatever it is, it looks like he’s in for it,” another chimed in, their giggles echoing down the corridor. I kept my eyes fixed on the wall, my face burning, the humiliation of standing there like a scolded kid in timeout amplified by their taunts. My arms ached, trembling slightly from the strain, but I didn’t dare move.
Grade school children are put in timeout like this, not high school seniors! The thought gnawed at me, a relentless chant that fueled the shame churning in my gut. I stood there, hands clasped behind my head, elbows flared out like a misbehaving kid caught red-handed, and every ticking second dragged on like a lifetime. The wall before me was a faded beige mess, its cracks and smudges staring back as if daring me to look away, but I couldn’t—my punishment was to face it, to feel the weight of my stupidity. My ear still throbbed from Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s fierce grip, and my cheeks blazed, the dried tears leaving stiff, salty streaks that marked me as the fool I’d become.
The freshmen girls’ giggles still echoed in my mind, their whispers fading down the hall but slicing deeper than any paddle could. More footsteps approached—slow, deliberate, the tap of dress shoes. I didn’t turn, couldn’t, but I glimpsed Mr. Dawson from the corner of my eye, his mustache twitching as he stopped. “What’s this, now?” he grumbled, curious but gruff. The office door creaked wider, and Mrs. Hiram’s voice answered: “Disrespect to a teacher, Mr. Dawson. He’s waiting for his parents.” A low whistle, then his gravelly drawl: “Well, son, you’re in for it.” I could hear the unspoken part—he knew, too. A spanking, just like the old days, because what else would they assume with me standing here like this? His gaze lingered a moment longer before he shuffled off, and I swallowed hard, the image of his knowing smirk searing into me.
The shame wasn’t just the pose, the whispers, or the teachers’ stares—it was the certainty that everyone who passed by saw the same thing: Ethan Walker, high school senior, about to get paddled like some bratty third-grader. That one hissed “bitch” had escaped me, a dumb, reckless mutter, and now it was a neon sign flashing my fate. My parents were coming—ten minutes, she’d said—and I could already see it: Mom’s tight-lipped worry, Dad’s silent fury, both of them nodding as Mrs. Hiram explained the “incident.” They’d all assume it, wouldn’t they? A C was bad, my own fault for slacking, but this—this was a spanking offense, and the whole school would know by morning.
Then, heavier footsteps—two sets, purposeful and brisk—approached. I didn’t turn my head, but I caught them in my peripheral vision: my parents striding past. Mom’s face was tight, her lips a thin line, and Dad’s jaw was clenched, his eyes fixed straight ahead. They barely acknowledged me—Mom’s glance skimmed over me like I was invisible, Dad didn’t even flinch—and I saw it: the clothes brush in his hand, the same one from that first night, its polished wooden back glinting under the fluorescent lights.
My stomach lurched, a cold sweat breaking out across my skin as they disappeared into the office. The door clicked shut behind them, muffling their voices, but I could imagine the scene—Mrs. Hiram’s stern report, Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s indignant recounting, Mom’s quiet fury, and Dad gripping that brush, ready to deliver what I’d earned. I stood there, hands on my head, the sniggers of passing kids fading into a dull hum, my breath shallow as the weight of the clothes brush loomed larger than ever. Ten minutes had never felt so short—or so long—and I knew whatever came next would make the paddling I’d feared look like a warm-up.
The muffled voices from the office droned on, a low buzz of tension I couldn’t decipher, until the door creaked open wider and Mrs. Hiram’s sharp voice cut through.
“Ethan, inside—now.”
——
I dropped my arms, wincing as the blood rushed back into them, and turned slowly, my sneakers squeaking on the linoleum. Every step toward the office felt like wading through mud, my bag still slumped against the wall where I’d left it. Inside, the air was thick with authority—Mrs. Hiram stood behind her desk, arms crossed, her eyes like steel; Mademoiselle Lefèvre leaned against a filing cabinet, her fury cooled to a simmering indignation; and my parents sat in the stiff guest chairs, Mom’s hands folded tightly in her lap, Dad’s grip on the clothes brush he brought from home unwavering, its wooden gleam catching the light.
“Stand there,” Mrs. Hiram said, pointing to a spot in front of her desk. I obeyed, my hands twitching at my sides, my throat dry as I faced them all. She didn’t waste time. “We’ve discussed your behavior, Ethan—your poor performance this week, your defiance, and now this insult to Mademoiselle Lefèvre. It’s unacceptable, and we’re not letting it slide.”
Dad leaned forward, his voice low and gravelly. “We’ve decided you’re getting today’s first paddling right here, right now. Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s going to handle it—since you thought you could disrespect her, she gets to set you straight.”
My eyes widened, darting to the French teacher, whose lips tightened into a thin, determined line. “What?!” I croaked, my voice cracking, but Mom cut me off, her tone sharp.
“Don’t start, Ethan. You’ve earned this. And don’t think it’s over—you can expect more when we get you home. This is just the beginning.”
Mademoiselle Lefèvre stepped forward, her heels clicking with purpose as she took the clothes brush from Dad’s outstretched hand. “Merci,” she said curtly, her accent crisp with resolve. She turned to me, her hazel eyes blazing anew. “You will learn respect, Ethan. Immédiatement. Pants down, over the desk.”
My stomach plummeted, a wave of panic surging as I glanced between them—Mrs. Hiram’s stern nod, Mom’s unyielding stare, Dad’s grim approval. The office felt smaller, the walls closing in, and I realized there was no escape, no plea that would sway them. My hands shook as they fumbled toward my jeans, the sniggers from the hallway still echoing in my ears, and I knew this paddling—here, now, at Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s hands—would only be the start of a long, painful reckoning.
I unbuttoned my jeans with trembling fingers, the zipper loud in the tense silence, and pushed them down to my knees, the denim bunching awkwardly. I stood there in my briefs, my face burning as I bent forward over Mrs. Hiram’s desk, my palms pressing into the cool wood. Mademoiselle Lefèvre stepped closer, the clothes brush firm in her grip, her posture poised as if she were about to deliver a lesson in more than just discipline. “Comme ça,” she said, her accent sharp, positioning herself to my side. She seemed willing to proceed with my briefs still up, her arm drawing back slightly, the brush hovering.
But then Mom stood, her chair scraping as she moved forward with swift, decisive steps. “No,” she said, her voice cutting through the room like a blade. “Bare. He doesn’t get the dignity after what he’s done.” Before I could react, her hands were at my waist, yanking my briefs down in one swift motion. The fabric slid to my knees, joining my jeans, and a cold draft hit my exposed skin, amplifying the humiliation as I stood there, fully bared in front of them all.
I gasped, my head jerking up, but Mom pressed a hand between my shoulders, forcing me back down over the desk. “Stay put,” she snapped, stepping back to her seat, her expression unyielding. Mademoiselle Lefèvre paused, the brush still raised, her eyes flicking to Mom with a faint nod of acknowledgment before returning to me. “Très bien,” she murmured, her tone laced with a mix of satisfaction and resolve. “You have brought this on yourself, Ethan.”
Mrs. Hiram watched from behind her desk, her arms still crossed, a silent sentinel, while Dad sat back, the empty space where the brush had been a testament to his approval. My heart pounded, my breath shallow against the desk’s surface, as Mademoiselle Lefèvre adjusted her stance, her delicate hand would wield the brush with a strength I hadn’t anticipated. The first strike loomed, and I braced myself, the sting of my earlier punishments nothing compared to the shame—and pain—about to rain down in this cramped, unforgiving office.
The first crack of the clothes brush landed like a thunderclap, a sharp, searing explosion across my bare buttocks that jolted me forward against the desk. It was unlike anything I’d felt before—not the broad, heavy sting of Dad’s hand or the biting snap of Mom’s hairbrush, or even my fathers paddling with the same clothes brush, but a focused, white-hot blaze that radiated outward. Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s anger fueled her, her usually melodic voice erupting into a torrent of furious French as she swung again. “Tu es insolent! Ingrat!” she scolded, the brush cracking down with relentless force. “Tu penses que tu peux me parler comme ça? Non, jamais!”
Each strike came faster, harder, her rage pouring out in a rhythm that left no room for recovery. My buttocks, already tender from the week’s punishments, flared from a pale pink to a vivid, angry red within the first few blows, the color deepening with every smack. The brush’s flat back painted splotches of crimson across the center, the edges blooming into a fiery scarlet that crept down to my high thighs. I yelped at first, then screamed, my voice breaking into sobs as the paddling went on and on, the pain building into an unbearable inferno. The red darkened to a bruised, mottled purple at the crests of my cheeks, the skin swelling slightly under the onslaught, while my thighs turned a streaky, flaming pink, dotted with deeper red welts where the brush’s edge caught.
“Tu apprendras le respect!” she shouted, her accent thick with fury, her arm tireless as the brush cracked against me again and again. My cries turned to ragged gasps, tears streaming down my face and pooling on the desk, my hands clawing at the wood as I squirmed helplessly. The paddling stretched into an eternity—ten, fifteen, maybe twenty strikes, I lost count—until my voice gave out, reduced to hoarse whimpers, my body trembling, barely able to muster another sob. The colors on my backside shifted to a deep, throbbing maroon, the purple patches spreading, my thighs now a patchwork of red and pink that burned with every pulse.
“Enough!” Mrs. Hiram’s voice finally cut through, sharp and commanding. Mademoiselle Lefèvre froze mid-swing, the brush hovering, her chest heaving as she stepped back, her anger still simmering but spent. I slumped against the desk, my legs shaking, my breath hitching in broken gasps, the kaleidoscope of pain and color pulsing across my buttocks and thighs. Mrs. Hiram stood, her expression stern but satisfied, while Mom and Dad watched in silence, the clothes brush now a silent witness in Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s trembling hand.
——
I barely registered her at first, my world narrowed to the throbbing agony and the wet smear of tears on my face, but as my ragged breathing steadied, I caught a glimpse of her from the corner of my eye. Mademoiselle Lefèvre stood there, transformed by her exertion, a striking vision of raw energy and unintended allure.
Her dark hair, usually pinned neatly, had loosened during the paddling—strands fell in wild, tousled waves around her flushed face, clinging slightly to the sheen of sweat on her forehead and neck. Her cheeks glowed a vivid pink, the flush of exertion accentuating her delicate features, and her hazel eyes, still sparking with residual fury, gleamed with a fierce, almost primal intensity.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her blouse—crisp and white at the start of the day—now slightly askew, the top button undone from her vigorous movements, revealing her collarbone and the curve of her breast. The fabric clung to her in places, dampened faintly by sweat, outlining the graceful lines of her figure in a way that was both disheveled and undeniably sexy. Her lips, parted as she caught her breath, were redder than usual, a stark contrast to her pale skin, and her posture—one hand still gripping the brush, the other resting on her hip—exuded a breathless authority that made her seem larger than life, despite her petite frame.
She ran a shaky hand through her hair, pushing the loose strands back, but they fell again, framing her face in a chaotic halo. “C’est fini,” she muttered, her voice husky from shouting, her accent thicker in her exhaustion. The air around her crackled with the aftermath of her anger, and though I was a wreck—sobbing, half-naked, and broken—the sight of her, wild and radiant in her fury, burned into my hazy mind, a strange, fleeting contrast to the punishment she’d just delivered.
Mrs. Hiram cleared her throat, drawing attention back to her. “Pull yourself together, Ethan,” she said, her tone brisk. “You’re not done yet—your parents will handle the rest at home.” But my eyes lingered on Mademoiselle Lefèvre for a moment longer, her breathless, disheveled beauty a jarring footnote to the ordeal, before I fumbled to pull my briefs and jeans back up, wincing as the fabric scraped against my ravaged skin. My hands shook as I fastened the button, the throbbing pain in my buttocks and thighs making every movement a fresh torment. I stood there, hunched and sniffling, my face a mess of tears and shame, the office air heavy with tension.
Mom stepped forward, her expression hard as granite. “Ethan,” she said, her voice low and cutting, “you’re going to apologize to Mademoiselle Lefèvre right now. What you said was disgraceful, and you’ll show her the respect she deserves.”
I swallowed hard, my throat raw, and turned to face the French teacher. Her wild hair still framed her flushed face, her blouse clinging to her curves, but her eyes had cooled slightly, though they still held a glint of authority. “I—I’m sorry, Mademoiselle Lefèvre,” I mumbled, my voice hoarse and barely audible, my gaze fixed on the floor.
She tilted her head, her lips pursing as she studied me. “Non,” she said sharply, her accent slicing through the room. “Not like that. On your knees, Ethan. You will show proper remorse.”
My stomach twisted, a fresh wave of humiliation washing over me, but the weight of everyone’s stares—Mom’s, Dad’s, Mrs. Hiram’s—left no room for defiance. I sank to my knees, the hard floor biting into my shins, my jeans pulling tight against my punished skin. I kept my head bowed, tears dripping onto my lap, as I knelt before her, the once-elegant teacher now a towering figure of retribution.
“C’est mieux,” she said, her tone softer but still firm. She extended her right hand—still holding the clothes brush that she had wielded with such fury—her slender fingers still faintly trembling from the effort. “Kiss the hand that punished you,” she commanded, her voice carrying a mix of scorn and expectation. “Show me you understand.”
I hesitated, my breath catching, but Mom’s sharp “Do it” from behind me snapped me into motion. Leaning forward, I pressed my lips to the back of her hand, a quick, shaky kiss against her warm, slightly damp skin. The faint scent of her perfume—something floral and light—mixed with the tang of sweat, and as my lips lingered for that fleeting second, a confusing jolt shot through me. Despite the pain, the shame, the tears, I felt an unmistakable stirring—an erection pressing hard against the tight denim of my jeans. It was involuntary, bewildering, a hot rush of blood that made my face burn even deeper with a mix of mortification and something I couldn’t name. I pulled back fast, my head dipping lower, my body angled awkwardly to hide it from Mom, Dad, and Mrs. Hiram behind me.
But Mademoiselle Lefèvre, standing directly above me, had a clear view. Her hand lingered in the air, and as I glanced up through tear-blurred eyes, I caught her looking down—not at my face, but lower, where the bulge strained against my jeans. A smirk flickered across her lips, subtle but unmistakable, a glint of amusement dancing in her hazel eyes. She said nothing, her expression shifting back to stern satisfaction as she lowered her hand, but that brief, knowing look seared into me, amplifying my shame tenfold.
“Bien,” she said, stepping back, her disheveled allure still striking even in her sternness. “Perhaps now you will think before you speak.” She handed the clothes brush back to Dad, who took it with a nod, his grip tightening around the handle, oblivious to the silent exchange.
Mrs. Hiram stepped in again. “That’s enough for now. Get up, Ethan. Your parents will take it from here.” I scrambled to my feet, my legs shaky, my knees aching, the pressure in my jeans an added layer of torment as I adjusted my stance to conceal it from everyone else. I avoided Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s gaze—her smirk still haunting me—as I grabbed my bag, the weight of her punishment—and the promise of more at home—crushing me as I trailed my parents out of the office, the conflicting sensations of pain, arousal, and her quiet triumph a secret burning beneath my skin.
——
The walk to the car was a silent march of doom, my parents’ footsteps heavy ahead of me, Dad still clutching the clothes brush like a scepter. I slid into the back seat, wincing as the rough fabric pressed against my battered backside, and kept my eyes on my lap, the bulge mercifully subsiding but the shame lingering like a stain. Mom drove, her knuckles white on the wheel, while Dad stared straight ahead, the tension thick enough to choke on.
The ride home was short but felt eternal, the hum of the engine the only sound until we pulled into the driveway. “Inside,” Dad barked as he opened his door, and I followed, my bag slung over my shoulder, every step a jolt of pain. Once we were in the living room, Mom shut the front door with a decisive click and turned to me, her arms crossed, her face a mask of cold resolve.
“Strip,” she said, her voice flat and unyielding. “All of it—right now.”
I blinked, my mouth dropping open. “What?” I croaked, but Dad stepped forward, the clothes brush tapping against his thigh.
“You heard her,” he said, his tone low and dangerous. “You’ve lost all clothing privileges for the rest of the day. After what you pulled today—slacking off, insulting your teacher, embarrassing us—you don’t deserve a stitch. Get it off.”
My hands trembled as I set my bag down, the reality sinking in. There was no arguing, no escape. I kicked off my sneakers, peeled off my socks, and fumbled with my T-shirt, pulling it over my head. My jeans came next, the denim rasping against my bruised skin as I pushed them down, followed by my briefs, the last shred of cover slipping away. I stood there, naked and shivering, my buttocks and thighs a vivid tapestry of red, purple, and maroon from Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s paddling, the colors stark against my pale skin. I crossed my arms over my chest, my face flaming, but Mom pointed to the corner by the fireplace.
“Nose in the corner,” she said. “Hands behind your back. You know the drill.You’ll spend every remaining hour today not doing chores right there. No sitting, no lying down, no covering up. You’ll feel every second of this lesson.”
Dad nodded, setting the clothes brush on the coffee table—a silent promise of more if I stepped out of line. “Chores start in thirty minutes,” he added. “bare as you are. Disobey, and this—” he tapped the brush—“comes out again. Understood?”
“Yes, sir,” I mumbled, my voice barely audible, and shuffled to the corner, pressing my nose to the wall where it met at a sharp angle. My hands clasped behind my back, the cool air prickling my exposed skin, amplifying the ache in my punished flesh. The living room clock ticked behind me, each second a reminder of the long, humiliating afternoon and evening ahead—hours of standing, scrubbing, and corner time, my nakedness a constant badge of shame. I heard Mom move to the kitchen, Dad’s heavy steps heading upstairs, and I stood there, alone and bare, the weight of their decree settling over me like a suffocating blanket.
——
My nose pressed hard into the corner, the wall’s texture rough against my skin, and my hands stayed clasped behind my back, slick with nervous sweat. The throbbing in my buttocks and thighs pulsed with every heartbeat, a vivid reminder of Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s paddling, and the cool air only sharpened the sting.
Ten minutes crawled by, each one an eternity, until the front door suddenly burst open with a bang, shattering the silence. “Mom, I’m home!” Lily’s voice rang out, bright and carefree, followed by a chorus of giggles and the scuffle of multiple footsteps. My stomach dropped as I realized she wasn’t alone—her friends were with her, their chatter spilling into the house like an invading army. I froze, my breath catching, my nakedness suddenly a screaming vulnerability I couldn’t hide.
“Check out this new game I got!” one of her friends—maybe Sarah, with her high-pitched squeal—called out, their voices bouncing off the walls as they stormed into the living room. I heard the rustle of bags, the clatter of something hitting the coffee table, and then a sharp gasp. “Oh my God!” another voice—definitely Katie, quieter but nosy—whispered, followed by a stifled snicker. “Is that… Ethan?”
Lily’s footsteps stopped dead, and I could feel her staring, her silence louder than any taunt. Then she burst out laughing, a gleeful, unrestrained cackle that made my face burn hotter than my backside. “Yep, that’s him!” she crowed, her voice dripping with delight. “Look at his butt—it’s purple! What’d you do this time, Ethan?”
“Girls!” Mom’s voice cut in from the kitchen doorway, firm and no-nonsense as she stepped into the room, wiping her hands on a dish towel. The giggles died down, but the air stayed thick with curiosity. “Ethan’s in trouble—big trouble. He got a C in French this week, and when his teacher told him, he called her a nasty name. So Mademoiselle Lefèvre paddled him—right in Mrs. Hiram’s office at school, bare, with the clothes brush. That’s why he’s like this now, and why he’s lost his clothes for the remainder of the day.”
Her explanation hung there, blunt and unsparing, and Lily’s friends erupted into hushed whispers, their eyes wide as they stole glances at my bruised backside. “At school?” Sarah squeaked, barely containing a laugh. “By his French teacher?” Katie added, her tone equal parts scandalized and thrilled. I pressed my forehead against the wall, my hands twitching behind me, desperate to cover myself but too afraid of Dad’s wrath to move. The colors on my buttocks—crimson fading to deep maroon, streaked with purple welts—and my high thighs, pink and red, were on full display, a humiliating canvas for their amusement.
“Settle down and play your game,” Mom said, her voice returning to its distracted edge. “Ethan’s doing chores soon—leave him be.” But Lily wasn’t letting it go that easily. She stepped closer—I could hear her sneakers squeak on the floor—and mock-whispered to her friends. “He’s toast when Dad gets back down here and uses that brush. You should’ve seen him crying this morning when he just used his hand!” More stifled giggles followed, their chatter shifting to the game but laced with sly comments about my predicament. I stood there, trapped in the corner, my nose aching from the pressure, my body exposed and trembling, Mom’s stark recounting and Lily’s gleeful torment a soundtrack to my weekend’s first brutal hour.
I stood there, trapped in the corner, my nose aching from the pressure, my body exposed and trembling, Mom’s stark recounting and Lily’s gleeful torment a soundtrack to my afternoon’s first brutal hour. The girls’ whispers and giggles buzzed behind me, their game forgotten as they soaked in the spectacle of my naked, punished state. My buttocks and thighs throbbed, a mottled map of red, purple, and maroon, and I prayed for the floor to swallow me whole. Then Dad’s heavy footsteps thudded down the stairs, each one a hammer blow to my already frayed nerves.
“Ethan,” he called, his voice gruff as he entered the living room. “Time for chores. Kitchen first—get moving.”
I turned my head slightly, still facing the wall, my hands clasped tight behind my back. The girls’ chatter hushed, their eyes no doubt locked on me, and desperation clawed at my chest. “Dad, please,” I begged, my voice cracking, barely above a whisper. “Can I—can I put something on? Just my underpants? While Lily’s friends are here? Please, I’ll do the chores, I swear!”
The room went silent, the air thickening as Dad’s boots stopped mid-step. “What’d you just say?” he asked, his tone low and dangerous, a warning I knew too well. I flinched, my plea dying in my throat, but it was too late. Lily and her friends—Sarah, Katie, and a third girl I didn’t recognize—stared from their perch by the coffee table, their eyes wide, their game forgotten. Before I could stammer an apology, Dad growled, “Backtalk,” and strode toward the kitchen, returning seconds later with a high wooden stool he kept by the counter.
He slammed it down in the center of the living room, the legs thudding against the hardwood, and sat, his broad frame filling the seat. “Over my lap,” he ordered, his voice a rumble of finality as he grabbed my arm and yanked me from the corner. I stumbled, my bare feet catching on the rug, and the girls gasped, a mix of shock and glee rippling through them as he pulled me toward the stool. My naked body—already tender from Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s paddling—was fully exposed, my buttocks and thighs a mottled pink, primed for what was coming.
“No—Dad, please, I’m sorry!” I yelped, my voice cracking with panic, but he ignored me, hauling me across his lap with a strength that left no room for resistance. The stool’s height lifted me high, my toes leaving the floor on one side, my head dangling low on the other, my hands flailing until they found purchase on his leg and the stool’s rung. My hips pressed against his thigh, my bare penis and testicles hanging freely beneath his slightly spread legs, swaying with every desperate squirm, starkly visible to Lily and her friends seated just feet away. My buttocks jutted upward, a vulnerable target framed by the stark lines of my nudity, the color from earlier still visible under the living room’s harsh light.
Dad’s hand rested heavily on the small of my back, pinning me in place as he turned his head toward the girls, his voice cutting through the tense air. “You all listen up,” he said, his tone stern and deliberate, loud enough to make sure they didn’t miss a word. “Ethan just got himself in trouble last week for backtalk—same nonsense he’s pulling now. Got himself two good lickings for it too, didn’t you, boy?” I squirmed, my face burning as I nodded faintly, the memory of last week’s punishments flashing through my mind. “And here he is, not even a week later, mouthing off again. Seems he can’t learn his lesson the easy way.”
He shifted his grip, his calloused palm sliding to my hip to steady me, and I felt the cool air kiss my exposed skin as he continued. “So now he’s gonna learn it the hard way—right here, right in front of you girls. Maybe that’ll stick with him longer.” Lily snickered, and I caught Sarah whispering something to Katie, their eyes glinting with a mix of awe and amusement. The third girl—I still didn’t know her name—just stared, her mouth slightly open, like she couldn’t believe this was real.
Dad’s hand came down—his open palm, callused and massive, cracking against my left cheek with a sound like a gunshot. The sting exploded across my skin, a sharp, searing jolt that turned the cheek to a bright, almost cartoonish crimson in an instant, and I screamed, a high and raw wail that made Sarah snort. “You don’t talk back!” Dad barked, his hand rising again, and the second smack landed on my right cheek, the crimson blooming across it like a splash of paint, vivid and uniform. My legs kicked wildly, my toes scrabbling for traction, my genitals bouncing with every thrash, and Katie giggled, whispering, “Look at his junk—it’s dancing!”
He didn’t stop. His hand fell again and again, a relentless rhythm—left, right, center, high thighs—each strike a thunderous clap that echoed off the walls, the sound as humiliating as the pain. My buttocks flared to an even brighter crimson, a glowing red that seemed to pulse under the light, the color stopping sharply at the edges, leaving the rest of my skin pale in contrast. My thighs followed suit, the pink igniting into the same absurdly vivid crimson, a perfect match to my backside, the shade so intense it looked like I’d sat in a vat of dye. Lily leaned forward, her grin splitting her face, and crowed, “He’s a tomato now! Bright red and shiny!”
Sarah chimed in, her voice a squeak of delight, “It’s like a cartoon butt—does it glow in the dark?” Katie laughed harder, pointing, “His thighs too! He’s a walking stop sign!” The third girl, quieter but no less amused, muttered, “Bet he’ll think twice before back talking again,” and they all dissolved into cackles, their comments a relentless barrage as I screamed, then sobbed, my voice breaking into a frantic, childish wail—“Daddy, no! Please, stop!”—tears streaming down my face, splashing onto the floor beneath me.
The spanking stretched on—ten, fifteen, twenty smacks, maybe more—each one layering that bright crimson deeper, the skin hot and swollen. My hands clawed at Dad’s leg, then the stool, my nails digging into the wood as I bucked and twisted, my naked body a writhing, helpless mess. My genitals swung like a pendulum, prompting Sarah to gasp, “It’s like a little show down there!” and Lily to retort, “Gross, but hilarious!” I broke down completely, my kicks slowing to weak twitches, my sobs a pitiful, gasping mantra of “Daddy… please… I’m sorry…” My throat rasped raw, my face a sopping mask of tears and snot, my pride shattered under their stares and Dad’s unrelenting hand.
But he wasn’t done. “You’ll learn,” he growled, his voice a low rumble as he shifted his grip, pinning me tighter across his lap on the high stool. His hand drew back higher this time, and then he unleashed a final, unrelenting barrage—five, ten, twenty smacks, rapid-fire and merciless, aimed low and dead center. His massive palm spanned both cheeks with each strike, the broad, flat impact flattening the crimson swell, igniting a fresh, searing agony that radiated through my core. The sound was deafening—a wet, resonant crack-crack-crack—each blow overlapping the last, the bright red hue pulsing with every hit, the heat so intense it felt like my skin might split. My screams turned to choking gasps, my body jerking with each spank, my genitals bouncing wildly as the girls’ laughter spiked—Lily shrieking, “He’s gonna pop!”
The barrage ended as abruptly as it began, Dad’s hand resting heavy on my throbbing backside for a moment, the crimson so vivid it seemed to glow. He hauled me upright, setting me on my feet with a rough tug, and I stumbled, my legs wobbly, my hands flailing for balance. He gripped my arm tight, holding me in place as I stood there naked, squirming like a toddler in his grasp, my body twisting instinctively to ease the pain. My buttocks and thighs blazed, a uniform, comical crimson that shimmered under the light, and my genitals dangled helplessly, swaying with every twitch. Tears streamed down my face, my breath hitching in ragged sobs as I faced him, the girls’ giggles a cruel backdrop.
“You don’t beg, you don’t talk back,” Dad scolded, his voice stern and unyielding, shaking me slightly by the arm. “You’ve embarrassed us enough today—school, your teacher, now this. You’re gonna learn respect if it’s the last thing I make you do.” I nodded frantically, my head bobbing like a puppet’s, my hands hovering near my sides, too afraid to cover myself as Lily whispered loudly, “He’s wiggling like a worm!” and Sarah snickered, “Look at his red butt bounce!”
Dad didn’t let up. “Chores—kitchen—now,” he barked, releasing my arm only to swat my crimson backside with a sharp, open-handed smack that sent me lurching forward. I yelped, stumbling toward the kitchen, and he followed, his hand landing again—crack—low across both cheeks, then again—crack—on my right thigh, spanking me all the way out of the room. Each strike jolted me forward, my naked body staggering, my penis and testicles swinging with every step, the girls’ laughter swelling—Katie’s “He’s hopping like a bunny!” and Lily’s “Spank him, Dad!”—ringing in my ears. My buttocks and thighs stayed that bright, absurd crimson, the color jiggling with each swat, the pain a relentless fire as I crossed the threshold into the kitchen, sobbing and bare, the sponge waiting for me like a mocking lifeline.
——
The open-plan layout left no barrier between it and the living room, the wide archway framing me perfectly for Lily and her friends still sprawled by the coffee table, their giggles reigniting as they caught sight of me. My hands shook as I wiped my tear-streaked face with my arm, the cool tile floor a faint relief against my overheated skin—until Mom’s voice cut through, sharp and unyielding.
“Ethan,” she said, stepping into the kitchen from the hallway, her arms crossed, dish towel still in hand. “Fill the bucket with soap and water, and scrub that floor—hands and knees. You’d better make it spotless, or else.” Her tone left no room for misinterpretation, the “or else” a dark promise underscored by the memory of Dad’s clothes brush and the fresh sting of his hand, now amplified by the girls’ eyes boring into me from across the room.
I nodded frantically, my throat too raw to speak, and shuffled toward the sink, my bare feet slapping the tiles, fully aware of Lily whispering, “Look at him go—naked as a baby!” and Sarah snickering, “His butt’s glowing!” I winced, grabbing the bucket from under the counter, the motion pulling at my tender flesh, and fumbled with the faucet, filling it with hot water and a squirt of dish soap, the suds bubbling up as steam rose. My hands trembled, splashing water onto the floor, and Katie chimed in, “He’s making it worse!” prompting a fresh wave of giggles.
“Get to it,” Mom snapped, positioning herself near the counter with a clear view of both me and the living room, her presence a stern overseer. I set the bucket down and lowered myself to the floor, bending forward awkwardly as I sank to my hands and knees. As I did, my crimson buttocks parted slightly, exposing even my bum hole in the gap between my cheeks, while my penis and testicles dangled freely beneath me, swaying as I settled onto the cold tiles. The girls’ laughter erupted into a full-on roar—Sarah squealing, “Oh my God, you can see his hole!” Lily cackling, “It’s right there—gross!” and Katie gasping, “Everything’s hanging out—he’s a total freak show!”—their delight piercing through me as I grabbed the sponge, my face burning hotter than my backside.
The position was excruciating—my crimson backside stuck out, high and vulnerable, the bright red hue a glaring, comical beacon as I crawled along the floor, my bum hole intermittently visible with each movement. My genitals swung beneath me, clearly outlined between my spread legs, prompting Sarah to add, “His junk’s bouncing like crazy!” My pain flared with every flex of my muscles, the swollen skin stretching and burning, and tears pricked my eyes as I dunked the sponge into the soapy water and started scrubbing, the wet trails streaking across the grimy floor. I moved too quickly, desperate to finish, but Mom stepped forward, her shadow falling over me.
“Not good enough,” she said, and before I could react, her hand cracked down on my right cheek, a sharp swat that reignited the crimson glow and ripped a yelp from my throat. “You’re rushing—spend more time on each tile.” The girls burst out laughing as I whimpered, slowing my pace, my hands trembling as I scrubbed harder, lingering on each tile under Mom’s watchful eye and the girls’ relentless glee, my naked humiliation—spanked bottom, bum hole, penis, and testicles in full view—laid bare in the open-plan spotlight.
The kitchen floor gleamed beneath me, the soapy water streaking into a spotless sheen as I worked, my crimson backside and thighs burning with every shift, the tiles cold against my knees. My sobs had quieted to sniffles, my face a sticky mess of tears, but I didn’t dare slack off, not with Mom standing there, her dish towel now slung over her shoulder, inspecting every inch.
Finally, after what felt like hours—though it was probably less—she stepped back, her arms crossing again. “Good enough,” she said, her tone grudging but final. “Bucket away, then back to the living room corner. You’re not done yet.” I nodded weakly, my arms aching as I hauled the bucket to the sink, dumping the dirty water with a slosh, my genitals swaying as I bent, prompting a fresh giggle from Katie across the room—“He’s still dangling!” I ignored it, my face burning, and shuffled back toward the living room, the open archway looming like a stage entrance.
The girls were still there, sprawled around the coffee table, their game half-forgotten as they watched me re-enter, my naked body a crimson-streaked spectacle. The high wooden stool Dad had used for my spanking still stood in the center of the room, a stark reminder of his discipline, its legs rooted where he’d slammed it down. Lily smirked, leaning back on her hands. “Back to jail, huh?” she teased, while Sarah whispered to the third girl, “His butt’s so red it’s like a traffic light!” I kept my eyes down, my hands clasped behind my back as I reached the corner by the fireplace, pressing my nose to the wall once more. I stood there, naked and trembling, awaiting my next chore as the girls’ chatter resumed, laced with occasional snickers at my expense.
——
A few minutes later, Dad’s heavy footsteps thudded back into the room, his broad frame filling the doorway. He stopped near the couch, his shadow falling over me, and grunted, “The back lawn won’t cut itself, Ethan. Get out there after I check the kitchen floor.” My stomach lurched, the thought of mowing the lawn—naked, in the open backyard, where neighbors might see—flooding me with dread. I opened my mouth, the words Please, Dad, not outside rising to my lips, my body tensing as if to turn and plead. But then my eyes flicked to the spanking stool, still looming in the room, and the memory of Dad’s unrelenting barrage across his lap flashed through my mind. My jaw snapped shut, my plea swallowed back, and I nodded instead, my head barely moving against the wall, opting for silence over another round of humiliating, childish punishment.
The girls noticed, their giggles sharpening. Lily leaned forward, her grin wicked. “Oh, he was gonna complain—did you see that? Too scared of another spanking across Daddy’s knee!” Sarah snickered, pointing at the stool, “Yeah, he knows that thing’s waiting—he’s not dumb enough to try it!” Katie chimed in, “Bet he’d cry even harder this time—look at his red butt already!” The third girl laughed softly, “Smart move, Ethan—don’t want Daddy bending you over again!” Their teasing stung, their eyes darting between my crimson backside and the stool, amplifying my shame as Dad ignored them, stepping toward the kitchen to inspect my work. I stayed pressed to the corner, my nakedness a silent testament to my submission, the looming chore outside a fresh nightmare I couldn’t escape.
The girls’ teasing stung, their eyes darting between my crimson backside and the stool, amplifying my shame as Dad ignored them, stepping toward the kitchen to inspect my work. I stayed pressed to the corner, my nakedness a silent testament to my submission, the looming chore outside a fresh nightmare I couldn’t escape. My nose ached against the wall, my hands clasped tight behind my back, the cool air prickling my exposed skin as I waited, the bright crimson of my buttocks and thighs pulsing with every heartbeat. Lily’s last jab—“He’s gonna mow with that red butt shining!”—echoed in my ears, her friends’ giggles a cruel chorus as Dad’s footsteps returned.
He re-entered the living room, his boots thudding against the hardwood, and grunted, “Kitchen’s good. Lawn’s next—out you go, Ethan. Now.” His voice was gruff, final, leaving no room for hesitation. I turned slowly from the corner, my face still wet with drying tears, and shuffled toward the back door, my bare feet dragging, my genitals swaying with every step. The girls watched, their snickers swelling—Sarah whispering, “He’s really doing it!” and Katie adding, “Hope he doesn’t scare the neighbors!”—as I passed the spanking stool, its silent presence a grim reminder of what awaited any further missteps.
Mom followed close behind, her dish towel now tucked into her waistband, her expression stern but practical. “I’m coming with you,” she said, her tone matter-of-fact as she grabbed her sunglasses from the counter. “In case the neighbors need an explanation—and they probably will.” I swallowed hard, my stomach churning at the thought of Mrs. Jenkins next door or old Mr. Carter across the fence peering out their windows, but I didn’t dare protest, not with the stool still in view and Dad’s shadow lingering nearby.
The back door creaked open, and I stepped outside, the late afternoon sun hitting my naked skin like a spotlight. The grass prickled under my feet, the mower waiting by the shed a hulking beast I’d have to wrestle bare. My crimson backside glowed even brighter in the daylight, a vivid, comical red that stood out against the green lawn, my thighs matching in their absurd hue. Mom stood on the patio, arms crossed, as I gripped the mower’s handle, my hands trembling, my genitals dangling vulnerably as I yanked the cord to start it. The engine roared to life, and I began pushing, the vibration jolting through my tender flesh, every step a fresh agony.
It didn’t take long for the neighbors to notice. Mrs. Jenkins, a nosy widow with a penchant for gossip, poked her head over the fence, her gray curls bobbing as she squinted at me. “Good Lord, Margaret!” she called to Mom, her voice a mix of shock and curiosity. “What’s going on with Ethan? He’s stark naked out here!”
Mom stepped forward, her sunglasses glinting as she replied, calm and unflinching. “He’s being disciplined, Ellen. Got a C in French, insulted his teacher, and caused a scene at school. Lost his clothing privileges for the day—his father and I are making sure he learns his lesson.”
Mrs. Jenkins clucked her tongue, her eyes raking over my crimson backside as I pushed the mower, my bum hole and genitals intermittently visible with each stride. “Well, I never! That’s one red behind—guess he won’t be sitting comfortably anytime soon!” She chuckled, shaking her head, and retreated, no doubt to spread the word.
Moments later, Mr. Carter’s gruff voice barked from across the back fence, his weathered face peering through the slats. “Margaret, what’s this boy doing? Mowing in his birthday suit?” Mom turned, her response steady. “Punishment, Tom. Bad grades and worse attitude—his teacher paddled him at school, and we’re keeping him in line. He’ll be fine.”
Mr. Carter grunted, his bushy brows rising as he watched me struggle, the mower’s rumble drowning out my whimpers. “Bright red from stem to stern! You folks don’t mess around, do you?” He lingered a moment, then waved a hand and disappeared, leaving me to my task under Mom’s watchful eye, the neighbors’ reactions a fresh layer of humiliation atop my naked, crimson misery.
Mom lingered a moment longer on the patio, her sunglasses hiding her eyes as Mr. Carter retreated behind his fence. “Finish up, Ethan,” she said, her voice clipped as she adjusted the towel at her waistband. “No dawdling. Call your father to inspect when you’re done.” With that, she turned and strode back inside, the screen door slamming shut behind her, leaving me alone in the backyard, the mower’s rumble my only company. The sun beat down, intensifying the crimson glow of my buttocks and thighs, the bright red hue a glaring target as I pushed the machine back and forth, my naked body trembling with every step. My genitals swayed, my bum hole occasionally visible as I bent to adjust the mower, the grass clippings sticking to my sweaty skin, the humiliation a constant weight.
After what felt like an eternity, the lawn was a neat carpet of green. I killed the engine, the silence deafening, and shoved the mower back into the shed, my hands shaking as I wiped sweat and tears from my face. The ache in my backside throbbed, but I was done—or so I thought. Standing by the shed, I called out, my voice hoarse and hesitant, “Dad! I’m finished!”
His heavy footsteps crunched across the patio a moment later, and he appeared, his broad frame filling the doorway as he stepped into the yard. He surveyed the lawn, his jaw tightening, and his eyes narrowed as they landed on the untrimmed grass along the fences—shaggy tufts the mower had missed. “What’s this?” he demanded, pointing at the edges, his tone sharp and accusing.
I froze, my stomach dropping. “I—I was just supposed to mow!” I stammered, my hands gesturing weakly at the shed. “You said the lawn, not—”
“I said cut the grass, Ethan,” he cut me off, his voice rising, hard as steel. “All the grass—not half of it. You think this is good enough?” Before I could answer, he turned on his heel and marched into the garage, his boots echoing with purpose. I stood there, naked and trembling, the crimson of my backside pulsing under the sun, dread coiling in my gut as I heard him rummaging. He emerged moments later, a thin, whippy stick in his hand—some old dowel, flexible and menacing, its tip slightly frayed.
“No arguing,” he barked, striding toward me and grabbing my arm in an iron grip. He frogmarched me across the yard, my bare feet stumbling over the grass, my genitals bouncing with every lurching step, until we reached the old tire swing dangling from the oak tree—a relic from happier days when Lily and I had played on it as kids. “Through it,” he ordered, shoving me toward the tire. I hesitated, my breath hitching, but his grip tightened, and he forced me to bend, threading my torso through the tire’s center until my head and arms hung out one side, my crimson backside and thighs jutting out the other, fully exposed and trapped, my bum hole on display and my genitals dangling helplessly below me.
Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Carter, alerted by the commotion, reappeared at their fences, their faces a mix of curiosity and amusement. Mom stepped back onto the patio, her arms crossed, while Lily and her friends crowded the open living room window, their noses pressed to the screen, giggles already spilling out. Dad didn’t waste time. “You’ll learn to do it right,” he said, raising the stick, and brought it down with a whistling crack across my buttocks, low and center, the thin wood biting into the crimson flesh.
I screamed, a raw, piercing wail as the stick striped my skin, the bright red flaring hotter, a fresh welt blooming across both cheeks. He swung again—crack—then again—crack—a relentless flurry, each strike landing with precision, the stick’s tip snapping against my swollen backside, layering stinging lines over the comical crimson. My arms flailed wildly, grasping at the tire’s edges, my hands slipping on the rubber, while my feet scrabbled for traction, kicking at the air and grazing the grass. The tire began to swing, swaying back and forth with my frantic thrashing, but Dad didn’t miss a beat—his arm adjusted with every motion, the stick cracking down unerringly—crack, crack—on my thighs now, painting red streaks across the vivid hue.
I bucked and twisted, the tire rocking harder, my genitals swinging wildly beneath me as I sobbed, “Daddy, please—no more!” Lily’s voice rang out, gleeful, “He’s swinging like a monkey!” Sarah added, “That stick’s still getting him—look at his butt bounce!” and Katie laughed, “He’s a piñata now!” Mrs. Jenkins clucked, “Serves him right, lazy boy.” Mom watched in silence, her expression unreadable, as Dad delivered a final, vicious crack across the fullest part of my cheeks, the stick bending with the force, the tire jolting to a stop as I hung there, a sobbing, writhing mess, my crimson backside now a throbbing, welted beacon for all to see.
Dad stepped back, the whippy stick still in his hand, his chest rising and falling from the effort. The neighbors—Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Carter—watched from their fences, Lily and her friends cackled from the window, and Mom stood silent on the patio, her arms crossed, her presence a steady weight.
“Enough,” Dad said, his voice gruff but firm, tossing the stick aside onto the grass. He reached forward, gripping the tire and pulling it back to free me. I slid out awkwardly, my naked body collapsing onto the lawn, the blades prickling my sweaty skin as I landed on my hands and knees, my crimson buttocks and thighs blazing under the sun, tears dripping onto the freshly mowed grass. “Get the lawn clippers,” he ordered, pointing toward the shed. “Finish the job properly—all the edges. Now.”
——
I whimpered, my throat raw, but I didn’t dare argue—not with the tire still swaying slightly behind me, not with the stick lying nearby, not with everyone watching. Crawling a few steps, I pushed myself up, my legs wobbly as I staggered to the shed, my hands brushing at my face to clear the tears. The girls’ laughter followed me—Lily’s “He’s crying again!” and Sarah’s “Look at him crawl!”—as I retrieved the manual clippers, their metal blades glinting in the fading light. I stumbled to the edge of the lawn, dropping to my hands and knees once more, the grass cool against my palms as I positioned myself near the fence line, the untrimmed tufts mocking my earlier haste.
Sobbing, I started clipping, the snip-snip of the blades a shaky rhythm as I worked my way around the edges. My crimson backside stuck out, high and vulnerable, the bright red hue streaked with fresh welts from the stick, swaying slightly with each movement. Tears streamed down my face, splashing onto the clippings, my breath hitching with every sob as I focused on the task, desperate to avoid another round of punishment.
Mrs. Jenkins peered over her fence, her voice carrying a mix of pity and amusement. “Poor boy’s a mess—still red as a beet!” Mr. Carter grunted from his side, “Should’ve done it right the first time.” Inside, Lily’s voice rang out, “He’s crying like a baby—boo-hoo!” followed by Katie’s, “His butt’s gonna fall off at this rate!” Mom stayed on the patio a few minutes, her shadow stretching across the yard, watching silently as I inched along, the clippers trembling in my grip, the edges slowly neatening under my tear-soaked effort. She then went inside to join my Dad.
Sobbing, I worked my way around the edges, the snip-snip of the clippers a shaky rhythm as I crawled along the fence line, my crimson backside and thighs throbbing under the late afternoon sun. Tears streamed down my face, splashing onto the clippings, my breath hitching with every sob as I trimmed the last tufts, the lawn finally a perfect, uniform green. Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Carter had retreated, their commentary fading, but Lily and her friends still watched from the window, their giggles a constant hum.
“Done,” I whispered, barely audible, my voice raw from crying. Mom stepped forward from the patio, her sunglasses now perched atop her head, her dish towel gone. She surveyed the lawn, her lips pursed, then nodded curtly.
“Good,” she said, her tone brisk. “Now get inside, shower off all that grass and sweat, and then back to your corner in the living room. We’ve got more chores for you after that, so move it.”
I pushed myself up, wincing as the motion reignited the sting in my crimson backside, and stumbled toward the house, my bare feet tracking dirt across the patio. The girls’ laughter swelled as I passed the window—Sarah’s “He’s a sweaty red mess!” and Katie’s “Bet he smells like a barn!”—and I kept my head down, my genitals dangling. Inside, I trudged upstairs to the bathroom, the shower’s hot water a mixed blessing, soothing my aching muscles but stinging the welts as grass clippings washed away. I dried off quickly, the towel rough against my tender skin, and shuffled back to the living room corner, naked as ever, pressing my nose to the wall once more, the girls’ chatter a cruel backdrop.
——
The chores came in waves. First, bathroom cleaning—Mom handed me a sponge and cleaner, and I scrubbed the sink, toilet, and tub on my hands and knees, my crimson backside swaying, Lily peeking in to taunt, “He’s a naked maid now!”
Back to the corner. Then laundry—Mom dumped a basket of clothes in the living room, right in front of the girls, and ordered me to sort and fold. I knelt there, naked, my crimson buttocks and thighs on full display as I separated the items, my hands trembling as I reached for Lily’s panties—bright pink with little hearts—and Mom’s underthings, sensible white bras, panties, and lacy slips. The girls’ eyes widened, their giggles erupting into full-blown laughter.
“Oh my God, he’s folding my undies!” Lily squealed, clutching her stomach as she pointed, her face alight with glee. “Look at him touching my panties—gross!” Sarah leaned in, snickering, “And your mom’s stuff too—he’s blushing so hard!” Katie added, “Bet he’s never seen a bra up close—his butt’s redder than ever!” The third girl chimed in, “He’s practically hugging them—how embarrassing!” I fumbled, my fingers slipping on the silky fabrics, my face burning hotter than my backside as I tried to fold quickly, the delicate items slipping from my grasp, my genitals dangling between my legs, my bum hole visible as I shifted on my knees, amplifying the humiliation under their relentless stares.
Back to the corner after that, then dusting—wiping shelves and tables, my genitals swinging as I stretched. Each time, I returned to the corner, hands behind my back, the bright red of my buttocks and thighs a constant display, my shame deepening with every task, the laundry ordeal lingering like a fresh wound.
As dusk settled, a knock at the door signaled the pizza delivery—pepperoni and cheese for Lily and her friends, the smell wafting through the house as they cheered from the living room. Mom called me over from the corner. “That’s it for chores tonight, Ethan. Upstairs—bed, now. No supper.”
My stomach growled, the pizza’s aroma taunting me, and I turned, my face crumpling. “But I’m hungry!” I complained, my voice a pitiful whine, exhaustion and hunger fraying my restraint. “I worked all day—please, just a slice?”
Mom’s eyes narrowed, her hand resting on her hip as she stepped closer. “Keep that up,” she said, her tone low and dangerous, “and I’ll put you to bed with a hairbrush spanking. Want me to fetch it and bend you over my knee right here, in front of everyone?” She tilted her head toward the girls, who perked up, Lily grinning wickedly, “Oh, do it, Mom—he’d cry all night!”
I froze, the threat sinking in, the memory of her hairbrush’s sting still vivid in my mind. “No, ma’am,” I mumbled, my head dropping, and shuffled toward the stairs, my naked body a defeated silhouette as the girls dug into their pizza, their laughter chasing me up to my room. I crawled into bed, the sheets rough against my crimson skin, hunger gnawing at me as I buried my face in the pillow, the early bedtime a final, bitter punishment.
——
On Monday, the school day crawled by, each class a gauntlet of whispered glances—word of my Friday paddling had spread, fueled by Mrs. Hiram’s note and who-knows-what gossip from the neighbors. I kept my head down, scraping by with A’s where I could, but French loomed last, a knot of dread tightening with every tick of the clock. When the final bell rang, I shuffled into Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s classroom, my backpack heavy, my palms sweaty as I took my seat. She stood at the front, her dark hair pinned neatly again, her blouse crisp, a far cry from the disheveled, breathless figure who’d paddled me, but her hazel eyes still held that glint of authority.
Class dragged—verb conjugations, a listening exercise—my mind half on the work, half on her, the memory of her smirk and the clothes brush burning in my gut. As the other students filed out, she called me forward, her voice melodic but firm. “Ethan, un moment, s’il vous plaît.” I approached her desk, my sneakers scuffing the floor, my heart pounding as she set her pen down and fixed me with a steady gaze.
“After Friday,” she began, her French accent curling around the words, “I assume your parents also punished you for what you said to me—salope, oui?” Her lips twitched slightly, a flicker of that smirk, and I nodded, my face heating, the weekend’s naked ordeal flashing through my mind.
“Yes, ma’am,” I mumbled, my voice low, eyes on her desk. “They did.”
She tilted her head, her expression unreadable but curious. “Bien,” she said, then leaned back, folding her hands. “Then you will write me an essay—in French—describing your punishment. Every detail, Ethan. What they did, how it felt, why it happened. Two pages, handwritten, right now. Comprenez-vous?”
I swallowed hard, my throat dry, the thought of putting it all into words—Dad’s stick, Mom’s swats, the tire, the corner, Lily’s panties, the lawn, the hunger—making my stomach churn. “Yes, Mademoiselle,” I croaked, knowing refusal wasn’t an option, not with her memory of my bulge and her power to report me again to Mrs. Hiram. She handed me a blank sheet to start, her fingers brushing mine, and I took it, my hands trembling as I slunk back to my seat, the classroom empty now but for us, the weight of her assignment a fresh humiliation atop the weekend’s scars.

Essai: Ma Punition
Par Ethan Walker
Quand j’ai dit un mot mauvais a vous, Mademoiselle Lefèvre, vendredi, mes parents etait tres facher. Ils m’ont punir beaucoup, et c’etait terrible. Je dois ecrire ca pour vous, alors voila tout les details.
Apres que vous m’as donner une fessee avec le brosse dans le bureau de Mme Hiram, mes parents m’ont ramene a la maison. Ils ont dit que je n’ai pas de vetements pour le journee. J’etais nue tout le temps, et c’etait honteux. Ma mere m’a dit de mettre mon nez dans le coin du salon, et je dois rester la quand je ne faisais pas des corvees. Ma petite soeur, Lily, et ses amis sont arriver, et elles ont rire de moi. Elles ont vue mon derriere tout rouge et mes parties privates, et elles ont dit des choses mechantes, comme « ton cul est comme un tomate » et « regarde lui, il est nue ! »
Mon pere m’a donner une fessee encore, parce que j’ai demander de porter des sous-vetements. Il a pris un tabouret haute et m’a mis sur ses genoux, devant les filles. Il m’a frapper avec sa main, tres fort, et mon derriere etait encore plus rouge, comme une lumiere comique. Les filles ont rire plus fort, disant « il pleure comme un bebe » et « ses choses bougent partout ! » J’ai pleurer beaucoup, et je ne peux pas arreter.
Ensuite, ma mere m’a dit de nettoyer la cuisine, a quatre pattes, sans vetements. La cuisine est ouverte, alors les filles m’ont vue. Mon penis et mes testicules pendaient entre mes jambes, et meme mon trou etait visible quand je me suis pencher. Elles ont rire et dit « on voit tous ! » et « il est degoutante ! » Ma mere m’a donner une claque sur le derriere parce que je ne nettoyer pas assez lente, et elles ont rire encore.
Apres, mon pere m’a envoyer couper l’herbe dehors. J’etais nue dans le jardin, et les voisins, Mme Jenkins et M. Carter, m’ont vue. Ma mere leur a dit pourquoi, et ils ont regarder mon derriere rouge. J’ai utiliser la tondeuse, mais j’ai oublier les bords. Mon pere etait facher et m’a pris dans le garage. Il a pris un baton et m’a mis dans un pneu qui pendait dans l’arbre. J’etais coincer, et il m’a frapper avec le baton sur mon derriere. Le pneu bouger quand je crier et bouger mes bras et mes jambes, mais il n’a pas arreter. Les voisins, ma mere, et les filles m’ont vue, et elles ont rire ou dit des choses comme « il merite ca. » Mon derriere etait tres rouge avec des lignes.
Quand j’ai fini l’herbe avec les ciseaux, ma mere m’a dit de prendre une douche et de retourner au coin. J’ai fais plus de corvees—nettoyer la salle de bain, laver les vetements, et epousseter. Le pire etait plier les culottes de Lily et les sous-vetements de ma mere devant les filles. Elles ont dit « il touche mes culottes ! » et « c’est trop drole ! » J’etais tres gener, mon visage etait rouge comme mon derriere.
Le soir, les filles ont eu de la pizza, mais moi, j’ai ete envoyer au lit sans diner. J’ai dit que j’avais faim, mais ma mere a dit « veux-tu une fessee avec la brosse a cheveux avant le lit ? » J’ai dit non et je suis aller au lit, affamer et triste.
C’etait ma punition. Ca faisait mal, et j’etais tres honteux. Je suis desole de vous avoir insulter, Mademoiselle Lefèvre. Je ne le ferai plus.
Fin
The classroom was silent but for the faint scratch of my pencil as I finished Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s essay. I handed it over, my hands clammy as I placed the two crumpled pages on her desk, the ink smudged from my nervous grip. She nodded curtly, gesturing for me to stand nearby, and I did, shifting from foot to foot, my backpack slung over one shoulder, my heart thudding as she began to read.
Mademoiselle Lefèvre sat poised at her desk, her posture elegant despite the day’s end—legs crossed neatly at the knees, her crisp white blouse tucked into a slim skirt, her dark hair pinned back in a low bun. One elbow rested on the desk, her chin propped lightly on her hand as she held my essay with the other, her hazel eyes scanning the lines. A red pen dangled between her fingers, its cap already off, and she wielded it with surgical precision, the nib darting across the page to scratch out my errors. Each strike was swift—a sharp slash through “a” instead of “à,” a jagged line over “etait” for “étaient,” a quick crisscross over “m’as donner”—her movements fluid, almost rhythmic, as she marked up the mess of my French.
The room stayed quiet, the only sounds the faint rustle of paper and the soft scrape of her pen, but every so often, a giggle escaped her lips—brief, muffled, like a bubble bursting. It came first when she hit “un mot mauvais a vous,” her mouth twitching as she crossed it out, a stifled “mon dieu” under her breath. Another slipped out at “mes parties privates,” her eyes flicking up to me for a split second, sparkling with amusement, before she slashed through it. “J’ai demander” earned a louder chuckle, quickly smothered as she shook her head, her pen carving a thick red line. She proceeded in silence otherwise, her face composed but her lips curling faintly at the corners, the occasional giggle betraying her delight in my blunders—and perhaps the vivid humiliation I’d detailed.
I watched, my face burning hotter with every mark, every suppressed laugh, my stomach twisting as she dissected my punishment through my own shaky words. The weekend replayed in my mind—naked, spanked, mocked—and now she held it all, her red pen a judge and jury over my shame. She finished with a final flourish, crossing out “insulter” at the end, and set the pen down, the essay now a battlefield of red ink. Sliding it across the desk, she leaned back, her hands folding in her lap, and fixed me with a steady, amused gaze.
“Take this home, Ethan,” she said, her accent curling around the words like silk, “and correct all the errors I’ve indicated. Every one—neatly, in French, due tomorrow. You’ll learn your lesson et your grammar.”
She handed it back, covered in strike throughs, each of which I would have to somehow correct that evening.

She paused, then tilted her head, a faint smirk playing on her lips. “So, your parents—they were thorough, n’est-ce pas? A paddling from me in the office, then home with no clothes the rest of the day, spanked by your father with his hand and a stick—through a tire, no less—while your mother swatted you, your sister and her friends laughing. Chores naked, mowing the lawn for the neighbors to see, folding les culottes in front of them, and bed without supper. Quite the punishment for calling me salope, hmm?”
Her recap was precise, each detail plucked from my essay and laid bare with a lilt of mockery, her giggle escaping again at “les culottes,” her eyes glinting as I squirmed. I nodded mutely, my throat tight, my face a furnace as I took the marked-up essay, the red slashes a testament to my failures—linguistic and personal. “Yes, Mademoiselle,” I mumbled, shoving the marked-up essay into my bag, desperate to flee her silent amusement and the weight of her knowing stare, the task of correcting it a looming echo of the weekend’s endless shame. My fingers fumbled with the zipper, my face still burning, as Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s voice cut through the quiet once more, her tone deceptively casual but laced with that same subtle mockery.
“Ethan,” she said, leaning forward slightly, her elbows now resting on the desk, her chin propped on her interlaced fingers. “How old is your sister—Lily, oui?—and her friends?” Her hazel eyes glinted, her lips twitching as if suppressing another giggle, her posture relaxed but her curiosity sharp.
I hesitated, my throat tightening, knowing where this was going. “Uh, Lily’s twelve,” I mumbled, my voice barely audible, my eyes fixed on a scuff mark on the floor. “Her friends… same, I guess. Twelve or thirteen.”
She nodded slowly, her smirk deepening as she sat back, one hand tapping lightly on the desk. “Mon dieu,” she murmured, her accent curling around the words. “Twelve and thirteen. Little girls, then. That must have been très embarrassant for you, n’est-ce pas? A big boy like you, seventeen, going on eighteen, naked and punished in front of them?” Her voice dipped, teasing, her eyes locking onto mine, daring me to look away.
I shifted, my sneakers squeaking against the tiles, my face a furnace as the memory of Lily’s cackles and her friends’ giggles flooded back—folding her panties, scrubbing the floor, the tire. “Yeah,” I muttered, swallowing hard, “it was… bad.”
She tilted her head, her expression mock-sympathetic, though the amusement danced in her gaze. “Vraiment? Tell me, Ethan—were you spanked in front of them, these little girls? Did you cry?” She leaned in again, her voice softening to a near-whisper, as if coaxing a confession, her red pen still resting on the desk like a silent witness to my earlier paddling at her hands.
My stomach twisted, the humiliation surging anew. “Yes,” I admitted, my voice cracking, my hands clenching the straps of my backpack. “Dad… he spanked me with his hand, on a stool, right there in the living room. They all saw—Lily, Sarah, Katie, the other one. And yeah, I cried. A lot.” The words spilled out, bitter and raw, my eyes stinging as I recalled my wails, my flailing, the bright crimson of my backside under their stares.
Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s lips parted in a soft, involuntary giggle, quickly stifled as she pressed a hand to her mouth, her eyes sparkling with delight. “Oh, Ethan,” she said, her tone almost pitying but not quite, “how dreadful for you. Spanked like a child, tout nu, crying in front of twelve-year-old girls—your sister’s friends, no less. I imagine they won’t let you forget it.” She paused, then straightened, her smirk returning as she waved a hand dismissively. “But good—tears are a lesson too. Correct that essay tonight, and perhaps you’ll think twice before disrespecting me again, hmm?”
I nodded mutely, my head bobbing like a puppet’s, the weight of her questions and her quiet laughter pressing down on me. I turned to leave, her recap and her probing etching fresh shame into my bones, the essay in my bag a red-marked testament to a day I’d never outrun—not with her, not with Lily, not with anyone.
——
I stumbled home from school that Monday, the red-slashed essay a lead weight in my bag, Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s giggles and her “tout nu” taunt echoing in my ears. The evening stretched into a grueling marathon—me hunched over the kitchen table, a French-English dictionary splayed open, grammar books piled high, my pencil scratching furiously as I wrestled with every correction. “A” became “à,” “etait” morphed into “étaient,” “m’as donner” transformed into “m’avez donnée”—each fix a battle against my shaky skills, my head throbbing, my eyes burning by midnight. The weekend’s shame fueled me, the fear of her pen and her smirk driving me to get it right, or as close as I could. I rewrote it twice, the final draft neater, the errors—I hoped—erased, and collapsed into bed, the corrected pages clutched like a fragile shield.
——
Tuesday dragged, my nerves fraying until the last period—French class—loomed. I handed the revised essay to Mademoiselle Lefèvre after the bell, my hands steady but my pulse racing as she took it with a nod, her fingers brushing mine. “Sit,” she said, her voice crisp, and I perched on a front-row desk, watching as she settled into her chair, legs crossed, her blouse pristine, her dark hair still pinned neatly. She read in silence, her red pen hovering, her hazel eyes darting across my words. The pen struck less this time—a quick slash through “j’ai demander” (still wrong, should’ve been “demandé”), a circle around “degoutante” (missed the gender again), a faint mark at “c’est trop drole” (should be “drôle”)—but her scratches were sparse, her lips pursed, no giggles escaping now.
She set the pen down, the essay marked with a bold “B” at the top, and leaned back, her gaze settling on me, steady and appraising. “A B, Ethan,” she said, her accent smooth, her tone measured. “Only a few mistakes this time—better. Have you learned your lesson? Will you ever call me such a name—salope—or disrespect me like that again?”
I swallowed, my throat dry, her questions pinning me like a spotlight. “No, Mademoiselle,” I said, my voice low but firm. “I’ve learned—I won’t. I’m sorry, really.” The memory of the stick, the tire, Lily’s laughter flashed through me, grounding my words in raw truth.
She tilted her head, a faint smirk curling her lips. “Bien. You’re lucky I don’t take you across my knee right now—I feel like it, you know.” She pushed her chair back with a slow scrape, the sound sharp in the quiet room, and remained seated, her posture still poised. Her hand reached for a wooden ruler on her desk, its edge worn but solid, and she picked it up, tapping it lightly against her palm. Then, deliberately, she raised the hem of her skirt to mid-thigh, revealing the shimmer of silk stockings, the taut material hugging her legs, the garter’s edge just peeking out beneath. She pointed to her thighs with the ruler, tapping them rhythmically—tap, tap, tap—as she spoke, her voice dropping to a teasing lilt. “You really do deserve to come across them, tout nu, like the naughty child you are, n’est-ce pas?”
My breath snagged, my face a furnace, as her words sank claws into me—her thighs, the ruler’s bite, my bare skin sprawled helplessly. The tap, tap, tap pulsed through me, and my eyes darted, frantic, to her thick red lips, parted just so; to the deep cleavage framed by her blouse, a shadowed promise; to the soft curve of her skin glowing under the classroom’s harsh light. My jeans strained, the bulge throbbing as that wild rush from Friday roared back, a tidal wave I couldn’t hold. The pressure coiled tighter, unbearable, and I looked at her, helpless, drowning in her gaze.
She shifted then, crossing her legs with a slow, seductive glide, the silk whispering against itself. The ruler tapped her thigh once more—tap—and she murmured, “Tout nu, right across my genoux,” her voice a low, teasing purr.
My breath caught, my face flaming as her words sank in, the image searing—her thighs, the ruler’s sharp sting, my nakedness. My bare penis lying across them. Her eyes flicked down, catching the bulge, and the pressure built uncontrollably—too fast, too much. I froze, a hot, involuntary shudder ripping through me, and I came in my pants, the wet patch spreading across the denim, dark and undeniable, soaking through as I stood there, paralyzed, my face a furnace of shame.
Mademoiselle Lefèvre’s smirk widened, her lips parting slightly, but she said nothing—just stared at the spreading stain, her hazel eyes glinting with silent, wicked amusement. The ruler paused mid-tap, resting against her thigh, and she set it down with a soft clack, her gaze never leaving me. “Allez,” she said finally, her voice light and edged, waving a dismissive hand as she let her skirt fall back into place. “Go home, Ethan.”
I scrambled up, my backpack a flimsy shield as I bolted for the door, the wet patch chafing against my skin, her smirk branding me as I fled. No words, no lecture—just that knowing look, her silent triumph over my humiliation echoing louder than any chuckle as I fled into the hall, the B-grade essay a hollow victory against the fresh, mortifying defeat.
What lovely AI art of Mademoiselle Lefèvre. As I was looking at it I was fantasizing about kissing her hand and then was surprised to read her ordering Ethan to do so right after. I wish I had a teacher like Mademoiselle Lefèvre to turn me into her sex slave when I was Ethan's age.-Seth
ReplyDeleteYes! AI did good. I added the cross!
DeleteMy wife/mommy said he would be given a bath, adds to the punishment, he would be squirming in the tub, having every part of his body washed, knowing a spanking is coming. The bath is one thing, being dried off is another and then would be told to get to the bedroom, stand hands at side and wait. The spanking would hurt like hell and then having your jammies put on and put to bed just adds to the punishment. As my wife/mommy saids a dad can give a sound spanking, a mother's spanking is worse, naked, squirming kicking over her lap, and in my case I address her as Mommy. Jack
ReplyDeleteYes, I described how his bum was so sensitive after his bath!
DeleteI liked this one. Not as good setting as some (grumble grumble, you really should revisit some of your earlier stories that people have begged for a continuation grumble grumble) and for the most part it was realistic ( if I think of it in 50's to early 80's time frame) in terms of severity and the participation of all the relevant adults, and it was mostly fair (except for that bullshit after he mowed the yard in the yard, that was either a setup or dad is dumb as rocks and owes him an apology) although little 11 and 12 year old's seeing his 'junk' did stretch the punishment a bit. Still a mixture of 'realistic' mother and father spankings from a pair that don't seem to be psychopaths or ones who hate their son, a hot-ass French teacher who wields a mean wit and a mean paddle...so much to love! Oh yeah and his sis seems the lil brat from Hell which makes it even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe French teacher was my fave!
