The dishes had been loaded into the dishwasher. The kitchen had been cleaned, the condo picked up. Everything was back in order. I made a final walk- through, checking the front door and the sliding-glass door, setting the burglar alarm, turning off lights.
I slid into bed beside Alicia, and she said, "So, what is this confession about?"
"Well, Mistress, I was just going to say that, Twyla made a pass at me while we were in the kitchen together."
"Oh yeah?" she asked. "And how did you respond?"
"I pushed her away, of course."
"Well, that little bitch," Alicia said quietly. She looked at me. "If you pushed her away, then why tell me? What's the problem?"
I looked down. "The problem is, Mistress, that I felt a little--just a little--attracted to her."
Her eyebrows shot up. "Oh yeah? And now you're feeling guilty and need to tell me about it. Is that it?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Well, Phillip, what do you think I should do about it?"
I could feel the blush rising in my cheeks. It was always this way when I had to ask for my punishment. "I think I should be spanked--spanked hard, Mistress."
In a strangely quiet voice, Alicia said, "Yes, I think you should be spanked, too. I cannot believe that you would be attracted to that little tart, when you've got me. Get naked right now!" she barked.
I jumped out of bed and removed my undershirt and shorts quickly. Alicia leaned over and got the wooden-handled hairbrush out of the bedside table. "Get over my lap, Phillip. Move!"
I immediately crawled onto the bed and over her lap. "Do you know why you're getting this?" she asked.
"Yes, Mistress!"
"Why?"
"I'm getting it because I was flirting with Twyla."
"That's right. And if I ever hear of you doing anything like that again, I'll beat you to within an inch of your life. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mistress."
"You'd better." She said no more, just began spanking me, first with her hard hand--I hadn't felt it in a while, it had been the hairbrush lately. Her hand was just as strong and hard as always. The first stinging slaps were squarely on my butt, then she moved down to my thighs, then back up again. She didn't spank fast, but she spanked hard, and the room rang with the sharp sound of skin against skin. At first, the spanking warmed me, but soon it began to really hurt. I tried to squirm away, but Alicia's hand found me wherever I went. On and on, her hand came down on my ass. I clenched my teeth to keep from crying out, but soon, I was gasping and yelping with the pain. Finally, a reprieve. The spanking stopped.
"How does this feel?" Alicia asked.
Through clenched teeth, I said, "It hurts, Mistress."
"Not as much as it's going to hurt," she said, and began hitting me with the hairbrush.
The hairbrush was harder, but flatter, so the impact was spread out slightly. It was both easier to take and harder. Alicia's hand could get tired or tender; the hairbrush never got tired. It's only limitation was the strength in Alicia's arm. Believe me, Alicia had a strong arm.
