‘What are you in for?’ the girl said breaking the quiet, although it was far from quiet, outside in the vast hall and communal area was the hum of activity, footsteps and voices from other prisoners going about their boring daily routine.
‘Dangerous driving,’ Tara whispered, still unable to comprehend how she had come to be in such a terrible place. ‘You?’
‘Burglary,’ she said casually. Tara looked incredulous at the girl, probably about twenty but as small as a schoolgirl. ‘I know what you are thinking,’ she said pointing at herself, ‘it’s because I am so small I can get through the tiniest cracks. Got good at it until they caught me and now I’m here for two years. How long did you get?’
‘A year,’ Tara said ruefully, ‘but my solicitor said I could be out in six months.’
‘Yeah, right, if you behave yourself, keep out of trouble and obey the mistress.’
Tara was just about to ask about the ‘mistress’ when the door lock clicked loudly then opened wide. A tall woman of about thirty with a shock of curly blonde hair stood briefly in the doorway, she was slim and dressed neatly in a tight black skirt and jacket fastened by silver buttons, epilates adorning the shoulders with a small crown and a number.
The warder entered the small cell, towering over us both but her eyes firmly fixed on the other girl. ‘Stand up Becky,’ she barked and the girl jumped to her feet. The warder must have been close to six foot against Becky’s barely five, made even worse by their differing footwear, the woman’s fairly high heels against trainers. Becky wore jogging bottoms with a pink t-shirt, her brown hair in a simple ponytail, no make-up but still very pretty Tara thought, she reckoned she was probably just a couple of years younger than her twenty-two.
‘You were fighting with Cherry at dinner I take it?’ She asked sternly. Becky nodded. ‘You know the rules.’ Becky nodded again.
The warder sat in the spot vacated by the girl and crossed her legs, long and shapely and sheathed in black tights, one stiletto firmly on the floor the other flicking back and forth on the end of the toes on her crossed leg.
‘You know what to do,’ she said evenly, tapping her skirt with long fingers. Becky didn’t hesitate and pulled down her jogging pants letting them drop to her feet then moved closer to the warder’s side. ‘And those,’ she barked looking directly at the front of Becky’s skimpy pink knickers.
‘Please ma’am,’ she pleaded, ‘not my pants.’
‘Would you prefer loss of privileges?’
Becky didn’t answer but fingered the elastic waistband, drawing them down her legs to her knees. Tara was mesmerised at the sight unfolding before her.
‘Over my knee girl,’ the warder said her eyes not moving from the wispy triangle of pussy fur now on view. Becky moved to her side and bent over, her arms stretching for the floor as her head sank downwards, the ponytail conforming to gravity and swinging forward.
The warder wasted no time, her long hand swatting the peachy orbs now dancing on her lap, Tara watched in stupefied fascination as they turned gently pink then red then crimson and then it was all over. Becky was back on her feet with both hands smoothing up and down over her spanked cheeks, her breathing rapid, breasts moving animatedly beneath the t-shirt with the rhythm of her hands.
The warder got to her feet, smoothed down the front of her skirt then left along with the clicks of her heels. The door banged shut.
‘What the heck was that all about,’ Tara squealed as she watched Becky wriggle her knickers back into place before doing the same with her joggers.
‘That was the mistress, Miss Flinton to be exact. If you want to be out in six months you had better get ready for the same.’
‘You’re joking, can she do that?’
‘Of course, who is going to stop her? You do have a choice, take her punishment or stay in here longer. My advice is to pull down your pants and get over her knee when she tells you to. I’m Becky by the way.’
‘Tara,’ she responded forcing a smile. She was indignant yet something was stirring inside. Was it the sight of a woman getting spanked by another woman or was it Becky’s little wispy patch that had fired her up, whatever it was her nipples strained against her bra.

This was all so different from her life up to just a few weeks ago. Tara was important, well she certainly felt so and as PA to Max, her multi-millionaire businessman employer she was at the heart of his empire. She jetted around the globe with him, sat in boardrooms making notes and controlled who got to see him. He was handsome but much older than her but despite the tittle-tattle there was nothing sexual between them. Tara sort of fancied him but never got that ‘must have’ feeling even in posh hotels, just the two of them after dinner. All they had in common was work and Max had never made a move on her and she hadn’t encouraged it.
She had not had sex with a man for the best part of two years, not having had the inclination despite the offers and availability of good looking guys, so work was her life and she was good at it but something was missing. Probably that was her downfall, too much wine when off duty and in the company of her girlfriends, mostly married and all in some kind of relationship with men so that’s where the talk usually got too. Tara got teased about having no guy in her life but she was happy, or at least thought so, and after a bottle or so of Chardonnay things always seem much more normal.
The magistrate had banned her for a year after getting breathalysed for jumping a red light. She was mortified but failed to tell anyone, how could she? Driving was part of her job so she decided to ignore it and carry on as usual, no tax and no insurance but who would know. Then came the incident where she mounted the kerb and almost flattened a woman with a pushchair, hitting a lamppost and wrecking her car. Over the limit again and driving whilst banned, almost running down a woman and child saw the book being thrown at her.
Tara stood in the dock in her finest business suit and Christian Louboutin shoes but it was no use and she quaked as the woman judge summed up her feelings about her actions, finally declaring that a prison sentence was the only option. She had nearly fainted when in a superior voice the woman pronounced her fate with one year in jail, basically declaring her job null and void, her company car gone and handing back the keys to her glitzy apartment. When she got out she knew she would be lucky to get a job as a waitress!

Tara pulled herself back from the traumatic memories of the last few weeks and once again eyed the young girl sitting opposite her, now shifting around on her obviously sore bottom with one hand up the front of her t-shirt.
‘God, that bitch really warmed me up,’ she husked, her hand feverishly fondling one nipple before moving to the other and back again. ‘Oh fuck this,’ she said suddenly whisking the top over her head and throwing it to the bed, both hands clamped to her fairly ample breasts.
‘You can’t have enjoyed it,’ Tara’s face was incredulous.
‘You wait ‘till you get yours,’ she breathed, her excitement palpable.
‘You have to be joking,’ Tara said indignantly, ‘I won’t let her do that to me!’
‘Then you’ll be here for a whole year,’ Becky said still rubbing her swollen nipples, ‘and you won’t know what you are missing.’
Tara blushed at the thought. Becky’s hand had now arrived between her legs, spread wide, her fingers smoothing over the fabric of her joggers. Then she got up and delved in a small drawer by her bed fishing out a flat-backed wooden hairbrush, her hand stroking the shiny surface almost lovingly.
‘I had hoped she would use this on me,’ she said, almost ruefully, ‘I really needed a good dose,’ then turning towards Tara, ‘would you use it on me?’
‘You’re kidding, right?’
‘Please Tara, I can’t ask anyone else can I?’ Becky moaned.
