"My fascination with spanking began long before I met Molly, you know."
"Rosie, you obviously want to talk about it, don't you?"
"If you don't mind, Barbara," Rosie answered.
"Of course, I don't mind. We've talked of so many things; it really was only a matter of time. It's so long ago, I thought you may have forgotten."
"Well, Barbara. Where would you like me to start? Of all the things my life amounted to, it was one of the most important to me. And the most exciting."
"What was, Rosie?"
"Meeting and spending so many years with that wonderful woman."
"How many, Rosie? I know it was a long time," Barbara answered, hoping Rosie would stay awake long enough to continue their conversation.
There was a long pause as she gathered her thoughts.
"I loved her, you know. Molly. And she loved me too."
Barbara stayed silent.
It wasn't the first time, or the second, that Rosie began like this, and she knew that these lucid moments were almost liquid in their spiralling, spinning intensity, draining away, sometimes as quickly as they arrived.
And so Rosie told her tale again, of how...
That night was so restless, not knowing for sure how to approach this most unusual situation.
She'd picked up her phone so many times to tell Molly that it was okay and, of course, she would help with the homework. Rosie had driven home in a far more excited state than she possibly expected to.
It had been a while but she was remembering the first time, you see.
It was a regular thing between Rose and her friend, Miriam. They'd go for a dance and a couple of drinks, buy takeaway food and share it once they got back, usually to Miriam's home, often with Miriam's mum, if she was still up and about. This time was a bit more special because they and two friends were celebrating.
School was out. Over. Their final exams were done and dusted and they were free for the summer months until whatever their futures were arrived.
Arriving home a little merrier than normal, Miriam struggled to keep them quiet, constantly shushing them and asking for them to keep it quieter for her sake.
"Why? Will mummy smack your little botty? They joked," dissolving into drunken laughter.
"No! Don't be silly."
But Miriam knew better and when her mum started moving around upstairs, obviously disturbed by the noises they were making, she made excuses for them to go except Rosie who was stopping the night.
They didn't know how cross Miriam's mum got.
Rosie hadn't been asleep when she heard Mrs. Jacobson getting up ready for work, and once she heard the front door close, she quietly got up herself.
Making tea, she found a note left for Miriam and surreptitiously read it.
"Hope you had a good time. I will be very tired all day. That's not fair, is it? Make sure all your chores are done before I get home. You know exactly what I mean. Love you. Mum. Xxxx."
By the time Miriam got up an hour or so later, the kitchen was spotless, everything ready to be put away.
Miriam read the note when only she and Rosie remained.
"Better get on, Rosie. Mum is cross about the noise last night. And you look knackered."
"I didn't sleep. I met your mum in the bathroom at half three. She is nice. Odd, sometimes but nice."
"You know that note you've probably already read?"
Rosie nodded.
"It means I'm in trouble. It's her code. At the very least, I won't be allowed to see you for a few days."
"You're grounded?" Rosie asked.
"No. Well yes. Kind of. She'll take my phone and tablet and expect me to come straight home from work. No TV. Bed early. I know she loves me but fuck me, it's a pain."
Rosie mucked in, and by lunchtime, all the chores—vacuuming, dusting, bedding changing, and washing—were done. Miriam cried; she was so grateful.
"You'd better go. She's home soon, and I've got to be ready."
"What for?" Rosie asked.
"I'll tell you later. Thanks for all your help. I couldn't have done it all without you. She wrote 'all' my chores, not expecting them to be done. See you soon. Love you, Rosie."
"Okay! What the hell?" Rosie asked, seeing Miriam almost a week later.
"Mum was mad as hell. She says you can come for tea," Miriam greeted Rosie as they met in the coffee shop next to where Miriam worked.
"You want to know what happened? I'll tell you exactly what happened," Miriam said crossly once they were safely ensconced in her bedroom with toast and marmalade and mugs of sweet tea for tea. "I got punished, well and truly, because you kept on mucking about."
"I'm sorry," Rosie apologised, but couldn't help asking for details.
"You want details. Bloody details. Well, I've not been allowed out. I've even made to do extra chores; thanks for the help on Sunday, by the way. I've been made to go to bed early every night for a week. And you know the worst part?"
"No."
"I've been spanked."
"What?" Rose asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I got fuckin' spanked like a naughty kid. That first night, she lectured and lectured, telling me if it had been her when she was my age what would have happened. My grandma would have taken a hairbrush to her. The more she ranted, the more my nervousness made me smile. And no amount of apologising could change what happened. And I can tell you. A mum-mad spanking on a damp, bare bottom is the worst of all. Harder. Longer. Far more stingy. And I wished it all on you. Her hand got tired, so she said, and finished off with loads of whacks with my wooden hairbrush that I'm sure, now, she'd bought me for last Christmas with just this in mind. God, it hurt. And yes. I cried buckets of real tears. You would have, too." Mariam's tale came to an abrupt end.
"What?" Rosie asked her friend, cuddling her tightly in sympathy for what she felt was her fault but questioning the strange look that came over her face.
"Well," Miriam continued, hesitantly. "Don't you think you're to blame, even a little?"
"I suppose so."
"So what should we do about that?"
"Tell your mum, maybe," Rosie suggested.
"The way I see it is this. I got my bum spanked because of you. Yes?"
"Yes. Probably some of it; no, most of it was my fault."
"And is it fair? I got smacked for something I didn't do. It should have been you. Yes?" Miriam continued reasoning.
Rose saw exactly where the reasoning was going and agreed without any argument.
"You want me to feel..."
"Yes," Miriam interrupted.
"When's she home? I'll explain, and she can..."
"No," Miriam interrupted again. "I think I should do it. I was smacked, so I think I should smack you. Just like I was."
"Okay," Rosie answered, hesitantly. "When?"
They both went very quiet for the longest moment. Then they both spoke together, Rosie standing and beginning to prepare herself.
"Now?"
"Why not now?"
"It's going to hurt, you know."
"Yes, I suppose it will. But it hurt you because of me, so that's fair, isn't it?" Rosie was already undressed down to her bra and panties. "Is this alright?"
"No. She smacked my bare bum. Take your knicks off and come over here," Miriam said, perching on the bed edge. "And even if my hands are not tired, I'm going to use my hairbrush some of the time, too."
"You're supposed to be smacking it, not stroking it," Rosie joked when the palm that was supposed to be punishing was pleasuring instead.
"You have such a cute bottom, though," but the stroking stopped immediately, being replaced with hard, stinging smacks to the bare, unprotected bottom, at least five at a time on each cheek, a short pause, then a repeat. In less than ten minutes, an unhurried fifty to sixty smacks on each side had turned Rosie's pale pink, pristine bottom cheeks into a wonderful selection of differing shades of different reds.
And Miriam felt something so much more than the justified revenge she'd been expecting. Rosie's cries and pleas to stop only made the feeling building inside her more intense. Picking up the hairbrush, she used it just like her mum had, covering each square inch of her already reddened bottom with another layer of increasingly intense stinging, adding to and increasing the area to cover Rosie's thigh tops, too.
Never trying to escape Rosie bore the increase with renewed vigorous crying.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"And so you should be," Miriam told Rosie, breathing quite heavily but continuing to paddle her harder and harder. "If I had my way, which I suppose I do at the minute, you'd be back for more spankings. I got it all. I was spanked for all your naughtinesses."
The spanking continued until Rosie agreed.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Rosie wailed. "I'll come back. I'll come back for more."
"More of the same?"
"Yes, Mimi."
"Three more of the same. One for each of you?"
"Yes, Mimi! Three more of the same."
"Only harder."
"Yes, Mimi..."
"And longer."
"Yes! Yes, Mimi. More and harder and longer."
The spanking continued until Miriam reached the satisfaction point.
"When?"
"When what?" Rosie asked through panting floods of spanking tears.
"When are you coming back? Mum's away with friends on Saturday, until late."
"Okay. Saturday."
"Now. Get up and dressed."
Rosie did as she was told but made excuses to leave. She had far too much to think about.
The short walk home was most uncomfortable, her panties tight against her swollen, punished bottom, but Rosie was also hyper-aware of other feelings, invariably arising from her far from infrequent and increasingly powerful self-pleasuring sessions, regular and improving masturbating, for the uninitiated.
"Just going for a shower," she called to her TV-watching Mum, dumping her coat and bag at the foot of the stairs and scurrying up to the family bathroom, where there was better light and a full-length mirror in there too.
"I must get mum to get me one of these," she thought, idly, stripping and twisting to investigate what Miriam had been doing with her palm and brush.
"Fuck me," she breathed quietly into the steam-filling air when she saw the colour of her bottom cheeks. Her fingers, though, almost subconsciously, found their way between the lips of her arousal, ahead of the expected climax erupting, no, exploding from deep inside her, turning her legs to jelly, and had she not held tightly onto the wash hand basin, would surely have ended in a naked heap on the floor.
"You alright, love," her mum called.
"Yes. Thanks," Rosie replied in the best voice she could muster, her fingers coaxing a second, equally marvellous orgasm as she used her spare hand to stroke her super-sensitive, super-spanked bottom, watching the reddened area in the mirror as she did so.
"What the actual fuck?" she said to the empty room once she felt steady enough to step into the hot shower.
The water increased the painful stinging on her bottom.
"This is fantastic," she whispered, feeling the same erotic stirrings once again.
Ten or so minutes walk away, something similar was happening in another home.
Mariam's mind was spinning and whirling as, soaking in the hot bath water, she could still feel the sting on her palm where she'd constantly spanked her best friend's bottom. Her first orgasm coincided with one happening streets away, as though they were somehow telepathically linked. Fingers soaped and deep inside her, imagining they belonged to Rosie, triggered another as she knelt up in the slightly too hot water, enjoying the added sensation of the water draining from her.
Miriam heard her mum coming up the stairs.
"Are you alright, love?"
"Yes, thanks, mum. Rosie just left, so I'm just having a bath, then off to bed."
"Okay. Is she coming Saturday?"
"Yes, mum," Miriam answered, smiling, knowing what was happening Saturday and looking eagerly forward to it.
But Saturday didn't happen as planned at all. In the kerfuffle of forgotten other arrangements, Miriam going with her father to his sister's wedding, Rosie arrived at the house early as planned to find Mrs. Jacobson there instead.
"Hi, Rose. Miriam forgot about her aunt's wedding. Richard picked her up an hour or so ago and must also have forgotten to let you know, the naughty girl. She was looking forward to your day together, too. Would you like to come in for a cold drink or something? It's already hot out there, isn't it?"
"Yes, please. Mrs.Jacobson. I walked quite fast. We were supposed to spend the day together because you're going to be away. And I'm so sorry for disturbing you the other weekend. I just couldn't sleep, and it wasn't Mimi's fault at all. Really." Rose's nervous babbling came to a sudden halt as Mariam's mum ushered Rose into the kitchen.
"Firstly, it's Caroline. I think you're old enough, though, to dispense with the 'Mrs.' title, okay? And secondly, you know what happened to Mimi because of your actions?"
"Yes, Mrs., sorry, Caroline. She told me. It's the reason I'm here for the day."
"I don't understand, Rose. Why are you here?" Caroline asked.
It all came spilling out, ending with Rose telling Caroline about her previous spanking and what she was expecting from Miriam then.
"You were going to spend the day together, and Miriam was going to spank you again?"
"Yes. Three more times for the spanking she got that honestly were my fault. As you can see, I just can't be quiet."
This last made Caroline laugh.
"How about if I do it? In her absence? You are expecting to be spanked, yes? I can spank, to which Miriam can unhappily attest. You're here. I'm here. What do you think?"
Suddenly Rose was in a bit of a quandary.
Barbara, remembering her, was suddenly listening more intently. She loved rehearing these oh-so-sexy stories, as did her girlfriend, who loved reenacting the spanking parts in prolonged, intimate, and painful detail. But this was new. New stories always got her exactly what she wanted. So she switched on her voice recorder app so no detail could possibly be missed.
Rose started to nod in agreement.
"Use your words, girl."
"Sorry, Mrs. Jacobson, Caroline. Yes please."
"Yes, please, what, Rose?"
"Yes, please. I'd like you to do it instead of Mimi."
"Do what, exactly," Caroline pushed for more details.
"I want you..."
"Speak up, girl. You want me to what, exactly?"
In those days before consent was such an important part of everything, Caroline liked it best if she knew exactly where she stood; even though Rose had already said what she wanted, it turned her on even more to hear her daughter's friend being specific.
