While my wife of fewer than 3 months, Julie, was away on business, I chose to spend the time with my new mother-in-law instead of staying in our home all alone. It was the first time I spent any time alone with my mother-in-law. She was tall like my wife, much taller than my meager 5'4" stature. She was full-figured and busty, even more so than my new bride.
While staying with my mother-in-law, I was assigned my wife's old room. It hadn't changed a bit since she moved out. It was a teenage girls' room, complete with a frilly comforter over a full-sized bed, closet, and dresser filled with the clothes my wife wore when she was a much smaller girl. And pictures and posters of pop bands and heart-throbs from that timeframe. To be perfectly honest, I was thrilled to stay in that room and both my wife and mother-in-law knew it.
After my wife dropped me off at her childhood home rather late in one evening, my mother-in-law and I sat in the living room and chatted for a little while before I went off to bed. After I'd changed into the long t-shirt and clean underpants I always slept in, I heard a soft knock on my door. I softly chirped, "Yes?"
My mother-in-law poked her head into the room and asked, "May I come in?"
I squirmed under the covers and replied, "Of course.."
She opened the door all the way, crossed the room and pulled the covers up to my neck. She then sat down beside my hip. In a soft voice, she said, "I wanted to tuck you in and wish you sweet dreams." She then leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
Biting my lower lip, looking up into her eyes, I said, "Goodnight, Mumsie." That was the name we'd decided I'd use when addressing her. That decision had been made on the night my wife proposed and we'd told Mumsie the good news.
She smiled down at me and whispered, "Goodnight, Sweetheart."
That night, I laid awake in bed while my mind raced. My wife had told me stories about how strict her mother had been while she lived at home with her. She told me how anxious she was to go to college and get out from under her control. But from my limited exposure to the woman, I had a difficult time believing it. As far as I could tell, Mumsie was a sweet lady and I couldn't imagine her being anything else.
That next morning, I slipped out of bed and peeked out of the door. Mumsie was nowhere in sight. I crossed the hall on my tiptoes and used the restroom. After I'd done my business and brushed my teeth, I stepped out into the hall again and heard noises coming from the kitchen. I stood in the hall wearing my t-shirt and underpants, recalling how Mumsie had told me to be myself and make my self at home. I bit my lower lip and decided to do as I'd been told.
With a pounding heart, I tiptoed down the hall and stepped into the kitchen to find her pouring a cup of coffee. She was wearing a long bathroom and slippers. When she turned and saw me standing in the archway, she smiled and said, "Aren't you cute as a button in the morning!"
I blushed and laced my fingers together behind my back while my hips wiggled around in a circle. In a soft voice, I said, "Thank you."
When she asked if I'd like something to drink or some breakfast, I answered, "Juice please."
After she'd poured a small glass of orange juice, she said, "I usually enjoy my coffee on the back deck. Would you like to join me?"
Picking up the glass, I answered, "That sounds nice."
We stepped through the sliding glass door out onto the wooden deck. After she sat down, I chose the chair next to hers separated by a small table. We sat together in the morning sunshine, drinking our drinks and chatting about nothing in particular. While I admired her backyard, my attention was drawn to the willow bush in the corner of her yard.
In a timid voice, "May I ask a question, Mumsie?"
She answered, "Of course Brett."
Biting my lower lip, glancing up into her eyes before lowering my gaze to my juice I began, "Julie has told me stories about how strict you were while she was growing up. She told me you used to punish her. She said sometimes you even used a switch." Looking in the direction of that willow bush, I asked, "Is that bush where the switches came from?"
Her voice was firm, but not angry when she said, "Brett, look at me." When I'd managed to raise my chin and look at her, she went on to say, "Julie wasn't the most well-behaved girl while growing up. And yes, I did punish her quite often. I tried a variety of punishments before I resorted to spankings."
I lowered my eyes briefly before looking back at her, "Mumsie, I wasn't questioning you at all. I can only imagine how badly Julie behaved when she was younger."
A small grin appeared on her face, "Then why did you ask about the willow bush?"
Biting my lip and squirming in my chair, I held my glass of juice in both my hands while saying, "I don't know. I just... I mean... Well... While I was growing up, I never ever got punished. Not even grounded."
She spoke in a gentle tone, "I'm sure you were very well behaved. You must've never done anything that warranted punishment."
I continued to squirm in my chair, "But I thought about it a lot. I always wondered what it would be like. And when Julie told me you used to punish her with a switch..."
She used that same gentle tone, "Brett, Sweetheart, I would never punish you without a reason. You would have to misbehave before I even thought about taking you over my knee."
Biting my lip hard, I looked up at her and asked, "Over your knee for a spanking?"
She paused for a moment before teasingly adding, "Yes. And I only give spankings on bare bottoms."
My small penis quickly stiffened and I lowered one hand cover the small bump it made under my t-shirt. "Um, Mumsie, what would I have to do?"
