old for a spanking!” Penelope tried to convince him.
“You are only fifty-two, and that is far from old.” While they’d been going back and forth, he’d slowly backed her into her living room, and he made himself at home and went around and closed all of her blinds to give them privacy.”
“What will the neighbors think, Horace?” Penelope’s cheeks were pink with embarrassment.
“They’ll probably think you’re a lucky woman to have such a fine man courting you. Only, the courting isn’t going to start until you have a nice red bottom.” He took a seat on her sofa and bent his finger at her several times. “Come here, Penny. You know you earned this paddling.”
“For work matters?” she asked, her voice small as she looked at the paddle.
“Yes, ma’am… for starters.” He patted his knee. “Bend over and put your bottom right here on top of my thigh. I want a nice target.” He waited, but she didn’t move. “It’s going to get a lot worse if you don’t obey me right now, Penny. Young folks today might not believe in the obey part of wedding vows, but I do. I know you do, too, and this is time to prove it.”
“We aren’t married!”
“We will be one day very soon! Now come to me!”
Penelope knew that she was full of pride. It was one of her worst faults. But still, it was difficult to admit her wrongs, but submitting to a spanking for correction was beyond difficult. She felt she was too old for a spanking. For goodness sake, what would her family think if they learned that Horace paddled her?! Her sisters wouldn’t submit to such an indignity! And neither of them were very happy, she reminded herself. “Will you be patient with me, Horace? There are things you don’t know, and I’m not sure I can talk about them. My refusal to marry you… It has nothing to do with you. I think you a wonderful man. I just… can’t…”
“We aren’t discussing marriage right now, Penny. We’re talking about a spanking for treating the employees who work under you without the same respect you insist upon from others. Do you recall admitting that to me this morning?” he asked.
Penelope nodded.
“You are going to get a spanking. Right here. Right now. This is your very last opportunity to make it easier on yourself. I’ll bare you if I have to chase you down.” Her eyes filled with horror and he wanted to smile. It was so difficult to remain firm at times. Finally, Penelope came to him, and she carefully placed herself over his lap and the sofa. “Are you comfortable, Penny?” he asked.
She laughed. “You are planning to spank me, Horace! How comfortable do you think I will be?”
“I am spanking your behind, but I don’t want the rest of you to suffer in any way. You are going to be here for a good while.” He suddenly gave her bottom a firm swat with his hand. He’d placed the paddle beside him on the sofa, and he would get it when the time was right. Another swat followed and he found that the caftan she was wearing prevented him from making sure he was spanking her behind, and not her lower back. It wasn’t safe. “Are you wearing panties, Penny?” he asked.
“What kind of question is that?”
“A necessary one. I’ll let you up to go and put on panties if you aren’t wearing any, but that caftan is hiding you too well, and I’m afraid I’ll spank you someplace I shouldn’t. I’m going to pull it up and out of the way. Last chance to go and put on panties if you aren’t wearing any…?” When she tensed on his lap he had his answer. He slid the garment up until her pretty panties were on view. “You have a fine backside, Penny,” he complimented her, and then spanked her again and yet again. “Yes, this is much better, don’t you think so?” he asked teasingly. “Now, we’ll get down to business. You need to remember that just
