This is story #27 of my series about my post-marital sexual journey. Read the first story (Babysitter Lauren) or my profile, for any background needed. You may see references to prior stories/people, but for the most part each story stands on its own.
Not everyone likes me or my stories. That's OK.
I enjoy all comments.

Sarah
A rural county in Virginia, about 100 miles from where I lived and worked, was experiencing some real financial difficulties. Same old story - not enough revenue, too many expenses. On top of that, some county officials had really mismanaged some transactions and left the county in a real financial mess.
In the middle of this county trying to dig its way out, the Controller resigned for a new gig elsewhere, leaving this county without a financial manager.
One of the founding members of my firm was very tight with the County Administrator, and he was asked if he had anyone that they could "borrow" for a while to help fill the gap. Since my specialty is municipal finance, I was volunteered for the job. Great.
Although the financial benefit to me would ultimately be substantial in that my firm paid me a nice bonus, it meant slogging 100 miles to the county offices in bumblefuck to an old, cramped courthouse with barely functioning air conditioning and musty old hallways and elevators. And looking at the faces of career public servants who had long since stopped giving a shit about their jobs and were working only for the generous benefits and pension.
My assigned office was on the ground floor near the front entrance and elevators. It wasn't even an office, just a chair and a desk that faced the door to the hallway.
One ray of sunshine that I noticed in my first week was a stunning redhead. She walked by my door every day three or four times, fairly predictably - midmorning, at lunch, midafternoon and finally around 4:30. Since my desk faced the hallway that most people used on their way to the elevator, I was fairly visible.
After this redheaded beauty saw me for the first time, she would smirk smugly at me every time she walked by. The look was a real sort of bitchy, know-it-all, I'm better than you look. But she was gorgeous, so I began to look forward to her pass-bys several times a day.
During the second week, I followed her back from her lunch break, staying a few paces behind her as she got on the elevator. I watched it stop at the fourth floor - the courtrooms and judge's chambers. A half an hour later, I went up to the fourth floor and nonchalantly walked around, peeking into the various courtrooms.
The third courtroom revealed its secret - the stunning redhead was a judge, sitting high up on her bench presiding over a trial. The big wooden door squeaked as I opened it. The judge looked up from her trance, and our eyes met. She smirked slightly at me, then returned her attention to the testifying witness.
Embarrassed by being busted, I slunk away and back to my office and closed the door.
The next morning, the Judge walked by my office, then stopped and leaned in.
Looking around and seeing no one, she said, "I see you found your way back to your office. I guess you were lost yesterday huh?"
I had done my research on her that previous afternoon- Sarah Collingswood, 37, very young for a judge. But she came from a wealthy, influential family with a well-known name in these parts. Married, two young children.
"Um, yeah," I stammered. "Sorry for the disturbance."
"Don't do it again," she ordered, again very condescendingly.
I wasn't a county employee, and didn't even want to be there doing this, so there was almost no risk in pushing back on this bitch.
So, I said, "Too bad. It's a public building, I can go wherever I want. Lock the door if you don't like it."
The Judge's face registered shock, at first, and then her look softened. Kind of like when you stand up to a bully, she backed down.
"You're right," she said. "there's no need to apologize. I'm Judge Collingswood, but please call me Sarah," she said as she stepped in and stuck out her hand.
We shook hands. She had soft skin, long thin fingers with red nail polish.
"And thank you for agreeing to help us out through this financial crisis. Can I buy you lunch as a thank you and an apology?"
She really was stunning. Her hair was a bright, fiery red, her eyes blazing green.
"I'd like that, thanks. Meet here at noon."
"See you then," she said over her shoulder as she sashayed away.
Sarah reappeared promptly at noon, and I locked my door and we headed across the street to a typically slow pizza place. As we waited for the host to seat us, I inched closer to her, closer than would normally be appropriate under the circumstances, to gauge a reaction.
Sarah showed no signs of intimidation. I was a good eight inches taller than her, but she carried herself like a giant. And she was not uncomfortable, almost like she trusted me.
We sat and ordered, then began a very easy conversation about fairly mundane topics: the weather, the financial state of the County, our jobs. Nothing personal.
After we finished our lunch, Sarah looked me in the eye and said, "OK, cards on the table. Why were you poking around my courtroom yesterday?"
I sat back and put my hands up.
"Nothing sinister I assure you. It's just that I had seen you walk by several times a day since I got here and I wondered who you were, so I investigated a bit."
"I'm sure hundreds of people walk by you every day. Do you investigate them all?"
I was being cross-examined now. But I decided to play my hand. She was a judge, but she was still a woman.
"Only the gorgeous redheads with legs for days," I answered.
She smiled back at me.
"You do know that I'm married, right?" she asked.
"Well," I answered in my defense, "I know that now that I see your ring, but I didn't know that yesterday."
Looking me straight in the eye, she said, "My husband is an artist. The real sweet, sensitive type. He loves me, and I love him. But he can't treat me the way I need to be treated, on occasion."
"And how is that?" I asked, totally intrigued by this unexpected turn of events.
Suddenly, her eyes looked down, shamefully, and she answered, "He doesn't punish me when I'm bad."
"Oh boy", I thought. "A crazy redhead. Just run Phil" my brain screamed at me.
I had heard all the stories about crazy red heads, of course. My lone experience with a redhead was Emma a few years prior, the girlfriend of a college buddy that I had gotten into a couple three-ways with, but Emma was more of a rust-colored red head. Sarah was bright, fiery red.
Throwing caution to the wind, I said, "You're being bad right now, flirting with another man."
She continued to look down at her feet as she said, "Are you going to scold me and punish me?"
"Do you have court tomorrow afternoon?" I asked.
"No."
"Good." I pulled out my phone. "Give me your cell number."
She did.
"Take the afternoon tomorrow. Wait to hear from me."
That evening when I was back at home, I ran a couple quick errands to pick up some things I'd need for the next day. Then I called the best hotel they had in the area, on old Comfort Inn. I reserved a room.
The next morning, I texted her - "Comfort Inn - room 315. 3:30 pm"
Now, I'd never been into any kind of hardcore S&M. Sure, I've slapped my share of asses and pulled some hair, but I don't consider that S&M, just some rough sex. But what the hell, I thought I'd try to give this crazy redhead what she wanted. I had no clue if I'd be on the money or not.
At 3:30 sharp she knocked on the door. I opened it, and there she stood in her work outfit, carrying a small tote bag.
I handed her a shopping bag.
"Go put this on. 'Objection' is your safe word." I instructed her.
She nodded in understanding, then stepped into the bathroom.
A minute later she stepped out, wearing the skimpy, teal-green negligee I had bought for her. I chose that color because, with her fiery red hair, she was a spitting image of Ariel the Mermaid Princess, albeit a slutty one. There wasn't much to it - her tits were exposed, and there was an opening in the back to allow access to her holes.
I sat on the edge of the bed and motioned her over to me. She stood in front of me, trembling.
"You've been bad," I said.
Sarah nodded.
"Tell me what you did?"
"I'm married, but I was flirting with another man."
"Bend over my knee," I instructed her.
I saw her shudder a bit as she assumed the position. She had a really great body - long thin legs and a nice round bubble but, perfect for fucking and spanking. She had fair skin as you'd typically associate with a red head, with some light freckles throughout her body.
"I'm sorry I have to do this to you, but bad girls have to be punished."
I started spanking her ass, not too hard at first, but harder as I went. I alternated cheeks, giving her about 25 smacks on each side. Sarah's moaning got louder as her cheeks turned redder, and she squirmed on my lap as I smacked her.
