The next day was Saturday. Since that was always a big day for showing prospective tenants available houses for rent, I didn't expect anyone to pick up at the property management office and I'd have to wait until much later before anyone would return my call. Still, under Mary's watchful eye, I called and left a message asking for Helen to return my call regarding the papers she brought by the earlier in the week.
When I hung up the phone, Mary looked at me and asked, "What papers did she bring by?"
Immediately, I'd realized my mistake. I froze. I didn't know what to do or say.
"Jason," Mary said, putting her hand under my chin so that I'd look her in the eye, "What papers did she bring by for you?"
I opened my mouth but couldn't get any words out. I was scared of what Mary would do when she found out I hadn't been completely honest with her. It didn't help that I was, again, completely naked with Mary in her robe towering over me.
"Is there something you haven't told me?"
I bit my lip and nodded.
"Is it something you should have told mommy?"
With my lips quivering and tears forming in my eyes, I again nodded.
Seeing that I was emotionally breaking down, she put her arms around me and pulled me against her. In her safe embrace, the fear went away but in its place I felt ashamed. Not ashamed for being naked with an older woman or that this woman was spanking me on a regular basis. I was ashamed for not sharing with her the truth. I began to cry and held onto her tighter, burying my face in her chest.
Mary sat down and pulled me onto her lap. In this position, my head was now resting on her neck. She let me cry until the tears stopped, just holding me close and rocking back and forth. After a few minutes, I stopped and she used the sleeve of her robe to wipe my face dry.
With a soft kiss on my forehead, she asked, "Can you tell mommy your little secret now?"
I nodded. Taking a big breath, I said softly, "I own our duplex."
Mary moved me off of her lap and stood me in front of her. Her eyes were wide open and her expression was one of confusion. "How did you get so much money?"
I told her about hiding in the computer lab at school so the bullies wouldn't beat me up, how I'd learned to program and, eventually, crack open off-the-shelf software to add whatever features a business wanted. Finally, I told her how I'd made enough money and goodwill so I could sell off my client list and buy this duplex. Instead of being mad, Mary seemed generally impressed with what I'd been able to do.
She took my hands in hers and pulled me closer, so that I was standing between her legs. "I bet you hired a property management company because you were scared of dealing with a bigger, stronger tenant, weren't you?"
I nodded.
"I understand why you hid behind them at first," she said, "but that doesn't explain why you didn't tell me after we became intimate. Now I wonder if you wanted me to catch you naked on that first day and if you wanted me to spank you since you could have easily threatened to evict me instead."
"No," I said, shaking my head. "I was afraid that you'd tell the women at the property management company that I was some kind of pervert or something and I couldn't face that embarrassment. Besides, I would never evict you. You're closer to me than anyone has ever been. I feel safe with you."
Mary looked at me for a very long time. "You're really are just a little boy terrified of the big world outside, aren't you?"
I nodded.
"Well, since you are just a little boy," she said, "mommy will make you look like her little boy, too."
Taking my hand, Mary led me in her bathroom and put me in her shower, but didn't turn on the water. She left me there for a moment to get something out from under her sink. When she returned, she had some kind of lotion bottle in her hand. She squirted the lotion in her hand and began rubbing it on me where it foamed up. There was an acrid smell in the air that made my eyes water and a tingling sensation on my skin wherever she applied it.
She had me covered from my neck down, including my arms and legs. After a few minutes, the burning was getting worse but she turned on the water, rinsing it off of me. As the foam disappeared down the drain, so did all of my body hair.
I'd never been really hairy at all but all of the hair I did have on my arms, legs, underarms and groin was all gone. When Mary pulled me out to dry me off, I saw myself in the mirror. With my short height and small, now hairless, penis, I looked like I hadn't even gone through puberty yet.
"There, all done," Mary said, "now you look like the little boy you are."
I had to admit she was right. At 5'1" and 110 lbs., I didn't look even close to my real age of 25. But now hairless from the neck down, I looked and felt like I was much younger.
Taking my hand, Mary led me out of her bathroom and to her bed. Sitting down, she pulled me over her lap. "Now let's start dealing with your dishonesty."
With that said she rapidly delivered five pink handprints to my bare left cheek. After a cursory rub she left five more on my right cheek. She alternated left and right, left and right, until the pink handprints blurred into a cherry-red bottom. I was crying and begging her to stop, kicking my legs but with her non-spanking arm wrapped securely around my waist, I wasn't going anywhere.
I felt her learned back and heard her open her nightstand drawer. When I felt the wasp-nest sting hit the middle of my bottom, right over my anus, I realized she had her wooden hairbrush. She took her time delivering measured, precise spanks to the center of my bottom. Each time, I'd lurch forward, yelping in pain. I tried to form the words to beg her to stop, but I couldn't. Between the crying, yelping and trying to catch my breath, everything was garbled together.
"Hush, you naughty little boy," she said, calmly delivered smack after smack to my fiery red bottom. "You deserve this and more for not telling mommy the truth."
I knew she was right but that didn't stop my body from trying to fight it. I kept kicking and thrashing to the point she put her leg over the backs of my legs. Between her leg and her arm, I was locked in and didn't even have room to wiggle anymore.
She increased the speed of her spanks until they were coming so fast I couldn't even tell the difference between them. It was just one constant burning pain that left me sobbing. By the time she stopped, I was laying limp over her lap, broken.
Standing me up, she led me to her bathroom again and put my nose in a corner. "Stand there with your hands on your head while mommy takes a shower. If I see you so much as rub your little naughty bottom one time, you'll go back over mommy's lap for an hour. Got it?"
I nodded. With my hands on my head, I stood in the corner just like Mary wanted while she stepped into her shower and turned on the water. For the first ten minutes, the urge to rub away some relief was so great that I had to use every ounce of energy I had not to do it. Each wave of fiery pain caused me to bite my lip and whimper in response. After those first ten minutes, the waves of pain slowed down and dulled a little.
When Mary finished her shower and dried off, she told me corner-time was over. What she did next surprised me.
She said, "I want you to go home and put on a tshirt, shorts and flip-flops, nothing else. Got it?"
