There was knocking on the hotel room door. "It's open" I said, "Come In".
Katie walked into the room, a nervous smile on her face.
"So what have you come here for?" I said, trying to make my voice sound bored.
"I've come to be punished". Her smile still looked nervous, and she raised one eyebrow at me quickly.
"Come here, stand in front of my desk. I'll deal with you in a minute."
With that I looked back down at the reports on the desk in front of me, as if to start reading again. I wasn't sure at this point if she really meant what I thought she meant, but it was worth going with it; see how far this was going to go.
After a few moments I got up from the desk and walked across the room, behind Katie. I locked the door she had just come through and stood staring at her.
Katie had changed since the meeting earlier. Gone was the dull trouser suit and instead she had on a short dark skirt, and a tight blouse. Her legs were straight and still showed a good tan from her recent holiday.
We'd been building up to this all day. Katie and I were away on business, a week of meetings with prospective clients - and one of those meetings this morning had been the point where this had started. The meeting had gone wrong from the beginning, our strategy was the complete wrong approach, and this had been Katie's error. An error that had made me look a fool in front of the people we'd come to meet.
Not a big problem - some things will always go wrong, and these were only one set of possible clients out of many we would be seeing this week, but Katie had felt terrible about it. I'm not the kind of person who gets pissed off about this kind of thing - and it had been an easy mistake to make. Instead I'd turned it into a joke, saying I would punish her later. As the day went on we'd keep referring back to this idea. I'd even found an old wooden school ruler lying around the conference centre and jokingly threatened to spank her with it later.
That ruler was now lying on the desk in front of her.
I'd been staring at Katie for nearly a minute now, and she must have been getting more nervous. She started turning her head around to look at me.
"Stay where you are" I said, "Keep looking forward." I moved over right behind her and spoke quietly into her ear "Was it a spanking or the ruler you were to be punished with?"
"The ruler", she said this with a sharp gasp of breath - as if she couldn't believe she'd actually said it.
I cleared the desk of papers and motioned for her to bend forward across it. As she did the hem of her skirt rose up the back of her legs, exposing the curve of her buttocks where they joined her thighs.
"Stretch your arms forward, grab a hold of the radiator" She followed my instructions and stretched out across the desk. Her body was now raised above it, with her blouse trailing down onto the varnished wood. I picked up the ruler and looked closely at it. It was smooth from years of use, the corners on one end were rounded and many of the markings had been worn away.
I bent down and held the ruler against the inside of Katie's left foot, and holding her shoe with my left hand I moved her foot to the left, leaving her legs a little over shoulder width apart. I looked up and the edge of her skirt trailed across my cheek. I could see the white of her thong between her cheeks and, as I exhaled, I saw her twitch slightly as the caress of my breath tickled her slightly. For the first time I noticed my erection, and for a moment wondered where this was going to lead.
I slowly stood up, drawing the ruler up the inside of Katie's leg. Up the calf, across the back of the knee and up onto her thigh. She took a deep breath in. I continued drawing the ruler up her leg until it was nearly between her legs and then withdrew it. I then caught the edges of her skirt and laid them up across her back, exposing her butt cheeks, and the skimpy thong she was wearing.
"Are you ready for your punishment?" I asked. Katie looked across at me and as she nodded I brought the ruler down hard across her cheeks.
A cry came from her lips, but she quickly stifled it. Her body sagged onto the desk and I could see her tense for the next blow.
