'Ah. Mrs Preston. Do come in.'
The Headmaster rose slightly from behind his large desk but the late-afternoon light flooding in through the windows behind him made it difficult for Mrs Preston to see him properly. There was, however, no mistaking his rich authoritative voice.
'It's Dale, isn't it?'
'Delia,' Mrs Preston said.
The Headmaster turned his head to study the free-standing monitor that was set at an angle of 45 degrees on the right-hand side of his desk. With his head turned, the combination of the light from the window and the reflection from the monitor highlighted his profile. He seemed to be frowning. 'Delia?'
Mrs Preston nodded.
'Oh, yes. Your name. Yes. I see what you mean,' he said. And then he added: 'But I was referring to your boy.'
'My son's name is David,' Mrs Preston said.
The Headmaster nodded. 'Hmm. Yes. David, Dale, Delia -- so many Ds, Mrs Preston. So many Ds.'
Mrs Preston laughed nervously.
'Here at Sebastian House we are not fond of Ds, Mrs Preston. D is the initial letter of both dunce and dullard. And here at Sebastian House we do not like dunces or dullards. They lower the tone; spoil the average; ruin the reputation. Is your boy a dullard, Mrs Preston?'
'No. Far from it, Headmaster!'
'And yet I see that last term he got a D in Divinity. D for dunce; D for dullard; and a D for Divinity. Why do you think that might be, Mrs Preston?'
'I can only surmise that The Rector disapproves of his atheism.'
'Hmm. You surmise do you? He's a little young to be an atheist, isn't he? Dale, I mean -- not The Rector. The Rector is old enough to be whatever he wants to be.'
'A little young? No, I don't think so. I would prefer to think that Harry Potter is a little young to be a wizard,' Mrs Preston said. 'And my son's name is David, not Dale.'
It was hard to tell, but she thought that The Headmaster may have smiled.
'Well, I suppose we had better get on with it,' The Headmaster said. He eased himself out of his high-backed leather chair and stepped out from behind the desk.
'That skirt suits you,' he said. 'It suits you very well indeed. I like a nicely-tailored pencil skirt on a woman. Very smart. Although, of course totally unsuitable for this situation.'
'I assumed that I would remove it,' Mrs Preston said.
The Headmaster nodded. 'Assumed, did you? Well, yes. Yes, of course. When you're ready then,' he said.
Mrs Preston reached across her body with her right hand and, slowly, lowered the zip that ran from her slim waist and over her elegant left hip.
The Headmaster watched intently, waiting for the magic moment when all would be revealed.
For a moment or two, Mrs Preston just stood there, watching the watcher, her zip unzipped, but her left hand keeping her skirt discreetly in place. And then, with a slight teasing smile, she lowered the skirt to the ground and stepped out of it. She was wearing black lacy-topped stay-up stockings and plain black high-heeled shoes. But she was not wearing any knickers.
From the smile on The Headmaster's face, he did not seem at all disappointed with what he saw.
'Right. Where would you like me?' Mrs Preston asked.
The Headmaster indicated a smallish leather-covered chair with arms discoloured somewhat by the nervous sweat from many hands over many years. 'If you would be so kind as to bend over that chair,' he said. 'With your feet spread slightly and your posterior towards the light. I like to be able to see what I am doing.'
Mrs Preston took up the position as requested. 'Like this?' she asked.
'Thank you. Perfect,' he said.
Out of the corner of her eye, Mrs Preston observed The Headmaster unbuttoning the fly of his tweedy suit trousers and extracting his swelling penis from within. She assumed that the beginnings of his erection were, in part at least, prompted by the appearance of her slim-but-shapely naked backside and she took it as a compliment.
The Headmaster selected a whippy cane of lightish weight from the extensive collection in the umbrella stand and swished it, briskly, a couple of times in the air above Mrs Preston's pale, exposed buttocks. A careful listener would have noted that, in addition to the airy whistle, the cane made a slight shuddering sound as it buffeted the air.
'Ready?' The headmaster enquired. But he didn't wait for a reply. Thwack! The first blow took Mrs Preston completely by surprise. She felt a sudden sharp sting across her buttocks, but then, after a couple of seconds, the sting was partially suffused by the beginnings of a warming glow.
Thwack! A second blow followed. And then a third.
Mrs Preston felt the warming glow spreading across her trim buttocks and down into the crevice between them. At the junction of her shapely thighs, she could feel her labia majora beginning to tingle and swell.
The landing of the fourth blow -- thwack! -- caused her real pain. And yet she could also feel her labia majora continuing to swell and open, exposing her delicate pink labia minora within. Glancing back, she confirmed that The Headmaster, too, was enjoying a swelling of his own.
Thwack! Five. Ouch! Now she had had enough. The pain was beginning to outweigh the pleasure. Or was it? Oh well ... one more. She waited, becoming acutely aware of the sharp contrast between her now hot and stinging glutei and the breeze-cooled surface of her dampening anus and vulva.
Come on, man. What's keeping you?
Mrs Preston glanced behind her once more. The Headmaster was tapping the cane on his now almost fully-erect penis. 'Well done, my beauty,' he muttered. And then ... thwack!
'There. I'm pretty sure that makes six. And now, if you will just maintain that position for a little longer, I will summon Matron.'
