Post-coffee-break lessons the following day began with embroidery. Simone thought of it as an old maid’s pastime and was not expecting to enjoy it. However, she quickly appreciated the skill and artistry involved; so much so that she swore loudly when, towards the end of the lesson, she accidentally stabbed her finger with the sharp needle and got a small blood stain on her design. The teacher, Miss Baker, glared at her....

Mark and Sarah strolled through the quintessential English village, hand in hand, admiring the charming cottages adorned with climbing roses. The sun warmed their faces as they approached an old school-turned-museum, its red brick facade beckoning them to explore its rich history. "Welcome," Elizabeth greeted them, her stern blue eyes piercing through them. Dressed as a 1960s headmistress, her tight mid-thigh skirt and wh...

Now she was in her third month as a fully employed secretary, Louise Craven could have kicked herself for finding herself being summoned before Mrs. Wintergreen once more. The young secretary had passed her annual probation despite one or two hiccups along the way. The Head of the Department had seen fit to 'chastise' the nineteen-year-old in her unique way. When the strict HoD had been sufficiently satisfied that Louise...

Sally’s Monday was a disaster, she’d been given six strokes earlier by Miss Simms for inattention in Mathematics class and now, Miss Mathews whacked her cane on Sally’s desk and made her jump to her feet in fright. “I was talking to you, Girl! Where were you in your daydream? “ Sally’s stuttering apology had no influence on the English teacher who simply went to the front of the class and looking very sternly at Sally, sw...

Jessica Robinson blamed it all on Brexit of course. The twenty-two-year-old had never known hardship in her young life until this wretched saga of the UK leaving the European Union changed everything. Brought up the daughter of an electric car dealer, the slim blonde had been spoiled rotten by her loving parents. Schooled at the exclusive Burgess Hill Boarding College in West Sussex, given her car and a flat in Pimlico sh...

It was just three days later when Pam arrived at the flat and was met by Rachel. Pam was forty-two and arrived wearing a sleeveless dress, and had bare legs, so clearly easy to remove clothes. Rachel led her into the second bedroom where she looked around and smiled and said, "This is a nice room." Rachel immediately responded with, "Please bear in mind that Mistress does not want casual conversation. In fact, she will wa...

Rachel and Jess were both university students, both twenty-one, and were working together on a project relating to the need that some adults have to be subject to the authority and discipline of others. As part of the project, they placed an advert in the local newspaper very clearly aimed at those who wanted to receive a disciplinary punishment such as spanking or caning, but as a private arrangement and willingly so. Th...

Paul was nervous as he walked into the school and along the corridor to Miss Foster's office. He wasn't sure why she had sent him a note requesting that he attend her study at exactly 4 pm. However, he thought it better to be there and on time. After all, his daughter, Emma, was sixteen and still at the school and Miss Foster was the headmistress. As he got into the outer office and looked first at the secretary, Miss Mye...

The dining room of our suburban semi on a sprawling modern housing estate was dark, with the curtains closed despite it only being mid-morning on a bright October Friday. I’d taken the day off work for what I was going to experience at the hands of my fifty-one-year-old wife. I wanted it. I craved it with an almost all-consuming need, even more than Elspeth wanted to do it to me. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t nervous, esp...

Jake, Dave, and John had been close friends since high school. Actually, they were friends long before high school. Jake and Dave had known each other since forever and John became their friend when his parents moved into the neighborhood just before he started school. The three boys were originally part of a much larger circle of friends, but in high school things slowly began to change. The change occurred when their fr...
