As was a daily occurrence when Rob was out of town, Jean came into the main part of the house to keep Marian company by, as usual, watching a movie on TV. As was not unusual, Marian was taking a bubble bath before settling down for the evening. Sometimes she bathed early in the evening and put on a dressing gown to be comfortable as they watched. Other evenings, she waited until the movie was over and relaxed by soaking in the tub after Jean left. As always, while she waited, Jean sat down in the bedroom, turning on the TV. Hearing a call from the bathroom, she walked to the door and asked, "What is it Marian?"
She was shocked to hear the reply, "Come in and wash my back, Jean, I can't reach it very well." Jean knew that Marian had strained her shoulder that afternoon reaching up to a shelf, but the request came as a shock. never having done anything like that before.
Hesitantly, she pushed open the door and, averting her eyes from the tub, asked "You...you... want me to wash your back?"
"Yes, of course. It's hard to do myself. Here's the washcloth." It seemed to be an innocent enough request, but, Jean had never been even that intimate with another woman, and it bothered her. Reluctantly, and not being able to think of a non-offensive way to say that she didn't want to do it, Jean took the cloth, covered it with soap, and began rubbing it gently in small circles over Marian's broad back, down to the water level. She was surprised to find that the sensation was not unpleasant and that, really, there was nothing "wrong" with it. Perhaps more personal than she liked, but nothing
wrong
. Marian sighed, "Oh that feels good!" Then, leaning further forward, she added, "Go further down, dear."
Without conscious thought of anything amiss, Jean let her hand holding the washcloth work down through the bubbles into the water, going past Marian's waist onto her lower back. Without any comment, Marian raised herself slightly, and, suddenly, Jean realized that she was washing her hips, even, briefly, encountering the start of their division. Startled and shocked, she jerked her hand back out of the water and up to Marian's shoulders, and, thinking that she had carelessly washed too far, gasped out, "Oh, I'm sorry!"
Marian's reply, however, was even more shocking. Leaning back completely, she replied, "Don't be silly, dear, that felt very nice. Now, do my front."
It took several seconds for her request to get into Jean's numbed brain, but when it did, it was like a bombshell. Without thinking, her eyes went down where Marian's large breasts floated on the water, the rosy-pink nipples, firmly erect, peeking through the froth of the bubble bath. Frozen there briefly, Jean couldn't take her eyes off them, fascinated and tempted despite herself. Coming out of her stupor, she pulled back and, still staring at the exposed breasts, squeaked out, "Oh, I couldn't! I can't do that! It'd be wrong!"
"Now, don't be silly, girl! There's nothing wrong with washing my breasts. Your hands felt good on my back --
now do the front
!"
The last was said with a tone that Jean had come to recognize as "Do what I tell you or you're in deep trouble!" Her hand involuntarily started forward at the command, but jerked back as she pulled away and got to her feet, fearfully saying, "I just
can't
!" Hiding her face with her hands, she repeated, I just
can't
!" This was far more traumatic than the French maid costume problem because called for her to actually do something, not just exposing herself. She just stood there, trembling, not knowing what to do.
Then, like the voice of doom, she heard Marian icily say, "
Go out into the bedroom and wait for me. I'll be out as soon as I've finished my bath.
"
Jean stumbled out of the bathroom, hardly able to control her shaking as she slumped into a chair. She was in very deep trouble. Unquestionably, she had insulted Marian and was going to pay the consequences. Her mind was in turmoil, and, as time passed as Marian unhurriedly finished her bath, she went back and forth. "Maybe I should have done what she wanted. All she wanted was for me to wash her breasts with the cloth! I didn't want to, but maybe I should have anyway. But, she could have done that herself -- why did she want me to do it? And it wasn't right. I shouldn't be touching her breasts. I shouldn't even have looked at them. Gods, though, they were big! What's she going to do? Maybe I should have done it....." Time passed at a turtle's pace and her mind just ran the same thoughts over and over, leaving her, eventually in a puddle of fear. Waiting for the inevitable chastisement seemed worse than the eventual reality -- but, of course, it wasn't. Finally the bathroom door opened and her doom appeared.
Marian walked into the room, the image of a freshly-bathed woman, her skin pink and glowing, well creamed and pampered. Wrapped in a warm, fluffy robe, presumably relaxed and calm after her bath, one would have expected to see a happy expression on her face. Unfortunately for any hope for leniency for Jean, her expression was menacing, promising retribution. Her first words confirmed what the expression promised. "Stand up, take your panties down and bend over the bed!
Quickly
!"
Jean never thought of disobeying. Almost by reflex action, she was on her feet reaching under her skirt for the top of her panties, slipping them down around her thighs and placing her head and shoulders flat on the bed. Her back was angled upwards and as Marian flipped her skirt up, the curves of her buttocks were displayed in all of their beauty: pink skin over well fleshed cheeks providing a lovely target for what was to come. "All right, young woman -- explain yourself!"
"Please, Marian, I just couldn't do it. It's not right for me to touch your breasts. I'm a woman too and it's not right for one woman to touch another. I've been taught that all my life. I'll...I'll do your back whenever you want, I'll do almost anything you want, but I can't touch you other places! Please forgive me."
"No Jean, I won't forgive you without punishing you first. You'll get five hard blows from this ruler for your actions in there." Waving an 18" wooden ruler which was about 1" in width, she went on, "However, the punishment will continue until you are willing to give up that senseless, puritanical viewpoint and promise to do as I ask. We went through this at Halloween and I thought that you had learned. Now, spread your legs and get ready. You can stop this after
As instructed, Jean spread her legs wide apart, presenting a view of her cunt that would have been inconceivable for her not long ago, but now she did it without conscious thought. She knew that protests were useless, but she tried anyway. "Please, Marian, just give me the five. I can't do what you wa.....OW!" Before she could finish her plea, the flat, flexible ruler came down with a loud "whacking" noise, leaving a wide red stripe on the previously unblemished skin. Before the pain had even a moment to subside another "
smack
" brought another shriek of agony from Jean.
