You arrive at home and I'm there waiting for you. You take one look at me and you know that I have done something I shouldn't have. You smile that half smile at me as you walk towards me, knowing you will discover whatever I'm hiding, you always do.
"Hi baby." You say sliding down onto the couch next to me. You put your arm around me and cuddle me close giving me a soft lingering kiss. I can't bring myself to look at you, my head stays bowed. Your fingers stroke my hair and move down to my chin and gently pull it up until we should be eye to eye, and still I keep my eyes lowered.
"Look at me." You say softly, but the warning is there. Slowly I raise my eyes and you see the fear there. Your eye brow rises slightly as you cock your head at me.
"You'll feel better once you tell me." You say evenly, looking at me, watching for a reaction. The rising blush makes you want to reach out and touch me but you don't move.
"It was an accident Michael; I didn't mean to do it." I say looking down once again. My fingers twist together nervously. I glance up and you haven't moved. I know you are waiting for me to finish.
"I b...I broke the vase your mom gave you for Christmas, the one that was from your Grandmother's estate." I waited head hanging. I missed your grin over the top of my head. I had no idea you hated it.
"I'm so sorry, it was an accident, I didn't mean to..." My voice trailed off at your silence. Finally I got the courage to look up at you. You were hiding any expression from me.
"How did it happen, Lily?" You asked. Your eyes were fixed on mine, making me gasp softly. You always seemed to know when I was careless.
"I was..." I sighed and glanced up at you, then I took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "I was dancing in the living room and my foot hit the table and it fell, I tried to catch it but I missed."
"You feel pretty bad, don't you?" You asked me and began to softly stroke my hair. I nodded and looked down.
"Is that a proper answer?" You ask me.
"I'm sorry Michael, yes, I feel bad, I didn't mean to do it." I whispered.
"Will you feel better if I punish you?" You ask.
"Yes." I whisper, snuggling against you.
"How do you want me to punish you Lily?" You ask me as you lean back gazing into my eyes. I blush deeper. Your hand strokes down my back firmly moving back and forth.
"Will you spank me, Michael?" I say so quietly you can barely hear me. You give me that half smile again.
"I think you need to ask better than that." You say loosening your tie and unbuttoning the top button as you stare down at me your mouth a firm line, waiting for my response.
Slowly I move back and kneel next to your lap, my knees sinking into the soft cushions. I quietly slip the buttons of my blouse open and tug my skirt up to my hips and then slowly slide it higher.
