PART I
She is dressed as instructed for the rendezvous. A simple but elegant black dress. She added black fishnet stockings. Her long straight blonde hair is untied. She looks adorable. We had picked the George, near Union Station, for this first meeting. Jessica was familiar with the area since she was working near the Capitol, and I remembered she had mentioned liking Belgian-style mussels since taking a trip there a couple years ago. The George serves delicious mussels a la poulette, and also happens to offer a little selection of Belgian ales to accompany the main dishes. As I walk her to the bar area, I deliver a not very hard, but still firm swat on her behind. The flesh bounces invitingly under my touch. A first introduction.
She is not shocked, but rather looks back with a puzzled smile. We sit at a corner of the bar away from the bartender. It is very quiet here, not unusual for a Saturday - most of their clientele comes during the week. She didn't want to meet over dinner or lunch, we settled for informal afternoon drinks and snacks. We exchange a few polite sentences, but after a few minutes, I want to bring the interest that has brought us together here today in the centre of conversation.
"From now on, I expect you to behave like a young lady, Jessica, you know what will happen if you don't."
She turns her pretty blonde-framed visage to face me and smiles shyly.
"I will do my best, Sir..."
She works for the Treasury, started there a few months ago and is very excited about the opportunity. She moved to DC 3 three years ago to finish her finance degree, and is glad she got to stay here rather than moving back to Ohio or move to another city. We both order a Leffe brune, served in the proper wide-mouthed glass stamped with the abbey logo. We talk some more about the trip she took to France and Belgium last year, then it is her turn to bring our common interest in the conversation:
"What I really like about our exchanges in emails and on the phone is that you really share my idea of discipline in a relationship. I think I told you I tried to bring this in a couple of past relationships before, but it really left me with the opposite effect eventually."
As the conversation shifts to private matters she has brought her face very close to mine and lowered her voice; we must certainly look like lovers to an outsider. Feeling her breath is sexy. Her fragrance is delicate and suits her perfectly. I start to feel like I am under a spell. She is very beautiful, and her voice is soft and soothing, eminently feminine.
"I think a lot of guys will do what the girl wants, at least in the beginning", she goes on. "But if you end up, you now, topping from the bottom... it's just not the same. I decided some time ago I really wanted this on the table as a premise to a new relationship, not leave it to chance after I met somebody, and see if they're into it or not. It would sound weird to most, but I wouldn't want to make any decision about considering if someone is right for me in a relationship until they have disciplined me first. Kind of like starting on the right foot, if that makes any sense at all. But it does to me... I know we've discussed it online, but I want to hear you say it in person... what type of relationship are you the most interested in?"
"Well, Jessica, first I'd say I'm very romantic, I really think romance is one of the main two keys to a successful relationship, everyday romance, and that starts with the smallest details. You never recover from the door you don't hold for your girl that first time... I have this idealized vision of a relationship where you both give their best, like everyday is a presentation to the board..."
She laughs.
"And then there is this interest of ours... I think, just as there is regular coffee and espresso, there is the slap on the butt and there is discipline. Forgive the comparison, it is very simplistic, I realize it.... To me, spanking, to be fully experienced, must be in the context of discipline. I want you to feel, I want every ounce of you to know you are receiving a correction. There is a cycle out there, and regardless how you organize your life, if it is a strict domestic discipline relationship or a more casual approach, to me a woman needs to be disciplined regularly, and if the man doesn't do it she'll give him hell. As you can see I am a man of contrasts, romantic and disciplinarian... but I happen to think the two go well together."
She takes a deeper breath, and I feel she is totally at peace with herself and her decision to meet me here today. Before we know it, we have been talking for over an hour. My hand touches hers on the counter, then holds it tightly.
"I want you to do something now, Jessica... I want you to go to the ladies room, remove your panties, and come right back holding them hidden in your hand. Then I want you to hand them to me, and sit on the stool, making sure you sit directly on the stool top, without the protection of your dress... Go now!"
She holds my hand to keep her balance as she steps down from her stool, and without looking back, disappears towards the ladies room. About 2 minutes later she walks back into the bar, her right hand making a fist. She doesn't look straight at me, but once she reaches my chair, she slowly extends her right hand towards mine, and I feel the delicate fabric now in my palm.
"Good, Jessica, you can sit now."
And, as I put the tiny black panties in my jacket front pocket, she prepares herself to sit on her stool again, but this time, with one simple gesture, holds the hem of her dress and sits directly on the cold leather seat.
"It's cooold...!"
"And that is the point, young lady...", I said whispering to her ear, "I want you to know how cold your little butt can get so you fully appreciates how hot it will be later this evening..."
She blushes violently.
"But I thought we were just getting to know each other! Aren't jumping the gun just a little...?"
Her smile is mischievous.
"I seem to remember we left any possible development after meeting for drinks open, girl, and I think you deserve to be much more uncomfortable than you are now, not next week, not tomorrow, but this very evening..."
She doesn't respond for a few seconds, but I can hear her slow, deep breathing.
"I think... I think you are right, Sir."
"I'm glad you see the point."
And, getting closer to her again, as if I was going to whisper in her ear, instead I kiss her on her forehead.
"You were very wise, by the way, to start calling me Sir, girl. I expect you to address me properly the rest of the evening. Now... you told me in an email about a fraternity paddle you keep in an old treasure chest in your bedroom?"
"Yyees."
"Well, it better be as effective as you told me, I would hate, for your sake, to have to use my belt on your first date."
"I... "
She giggles nervously.
'I don't think you will be disappointed, Sir... I just..."
"Yes?"
"I would just like... I'd like to ask you to be gentle, Sir, as it is my first real spanking."
I can see now she is absorbing the idea that she is about to get spanked, and she is looking at me very nervously.
"And what were you telling me earlier about discipline, girl? I think we both agree a spanking is meaningless if it is just a few slaps on the butt."
I lay my hand on hers, pressing it hard against the marble bar top.
"I want you to respectfully ask me for the punishment you deserve, Jessica, not for a little girl spanking that would not leave you sorry, but rather very frustrated. Of course I will be mindful this is new to you, but it will be discipline."
As I speak, I take hold of the hem of her skirt, and slowly motion upwards, as if ready to expose her naked cheeks in this very public place.
"I... I would like to humbly and respectfully ask you to discipline me, Sir. I'm a little scared that you seem to know me so well..., but you are right, I deserve to be soundly punished, just as you see fit, and tonight. Please Sir, will you give me my spanking?"
"I will be glad to oblige, girl."
Bringing her hand close to my lips, I kiss it lightly, then help her stand on her feet. We leave the restaurant and chat innocently on our way to the car. It is a truly exceptional evening, right about 80 degrees with low humidity, a nice breeze... We reach the car a few minutes later, and I hold the door for her while she slips on the smooth saddle leather seat of the convertible Lexus.
"Now, the rule about sitting directly on the seat applies in the car as well, Jessica."
Obediently, she raises her hips and brings the hem of her skirt to the level of her waist in the back, while still making sure the top of her thighs are covered in the front.
"And don't forget the safety belt!"
We enjoy the drive to her apartment with the top down, admiring the illuminated memorials, grateful for the strict building code forbidding skyscrapers. We are lucky to find a spot right in front of her apartment building. I walk around the car to open her door, and she blushes as she comes out of the car. The elevator ride to her floor, the fourth, is especially slow. Her door is right across from the elevator, she slides her key, opens the door, and we are inside. Jessica turns the light on. Her apartment feels very cozy, with two comfortable-looking old world leather armchairs, a bookshelf that occupies the entire length of the living room, and a thick Persian rug. With both arms extended as if to reach both extremes of the room, Jessica greets me:
"Welcome to my world, Philippe!"
She knows my rule about a scheduled punishment that is about to begin, and how she must act as soon as the privacy necessary to the disciplinary session has been reached.
"You remember what to do, Jessica, we went over it."
Jessica comes closer, kneels right in front of me, then brings both her hands behind her back, right above her waistline.
"Thank you for coming this evening, Sir, and welcome again. Would you like me to serve you a drink? I'll be glad to get it for you."
