Olivia
Part Four. An interesting Christmas
Olivia accepts a Christmas invitation
The term passed quickly. Petra and I never found the opportunity to consummate our desires and we were hugely frustrated at that. Such was the design of the school, there was nowhere for us to go in private to enjoy the kind of capers we wanted to get up to. We both received a couple more punishments, but not enough to earn a second caning, from which we had both fully recovered and agreed that it had been quite a tough test, but ultimately one neither of us would shy away from repeating. Equally, with the colder weather, none of us girls wanted to find ourselves attending classes in the nude, or without any of our outer clothes, so it had been a well behaved second half of term by all the students. Miss Kent's system worked!
Two weeks before term ended, I got word from my mum. Unbelievably, she was being called away on a business offer for the whole holiday period. She had been invited to Perth, in Australia, to look into some kind of investment and would be leaving three days after the end of term. We never took Christmas too sentimentally, it held some sad memories for us, that time of year, so that wasn't a big problem. She said I was perfectly old enough to live at home on my own, but if I wanted to stay with a friend, that would be fine too.
Naturally, I was a bit disappointed but when I told Petra my news, she immediately perked up and suggested I go and stay at her home while my mum was away. I didn't need to think about that too hard; it was a great idea.
'We have quite a big house, with three floors and five bedrooms. Mine is on the top floor, along with another spare room, so there will be plenty of space.' She explained.
She called her mother and got the go-ahead, and I called mine who was very happy with the idea.
'I'll collect you at the end of term and bring you home for a couple of days, then take you to Petra's before I leave for the airport.' She planned.
And that's what happened. On our way to Petra's house we stopped and bought some presents for Petra's mum and her partner, including a case of assorted wines and we arrived mid-afternoon. We were invited in and afternoon tea was served as we made our introductions. Petra's mum was called Ann, and insisted I call her that, and her partner was Lesley, shortened to Les, and she was the first to laugh at the irony of that. Having broken the ice, we had a lovely hour chatting about things in common, with Ann saying she had been to Perth once and how lovely a city it was.
'It will be hot and sunny every day and you'll come back with a beautiful suntan to make us all jealous.' She said, and mum agreed, knowing already that the house she was going to stay at had a very secluded swimming pool where she would be able to skinny dip and sunbathe whenever she wanted without being overlooked. She boldly told Ann and Les that, and Les replied that she would love to see her tan when she got back. Mum just smiled and said 'Mmmmm.'
On parting, she reminded me to be the perfect guest, help around the house and generally behave myself. Looking Les straight in the eye she told her that I had promised to be good, but if I misbehaved in any way, Les was welcome to discipline me as she saw fit. I wasn't surprised at this blatant invitation -- mum and I had spoken at length over the past couple of days about this. I told her that Les punished Petra quite often and I was pretty sure I might be in for some myself while I lived under their roof. Mum thought this was fine, if I didn't object. Having heard Petra talking of her most recent spanking, at half term, I didn't object at all. In fact, I was rather hoping for something like that myself. The bruising on my ass had cleared completely after my last visit to Miss Kent's office.
I was shown my room, the one beside Petra as promised. It was spacious, with a large double bed, lots of sunlight coming through the window and even an en-suite bathroom. Between them, Ann and Les obviously had a few shillings, I thought. Nice house! And warm! The English winter didn't penetrate into the house so all the winter clothing I had brought would only be necessary outside. This became more obvious as Petra came into my room to see how I was getting on with my unpacking. She was in a full-length, cotton summer dress, with big buttons all the way up the front.
'Ready to come down?' she asked, but then saw what I was wearing. 'You'll be roasting in that!' she admonished me. And she was right. I quickly changed into a silk blouse and jeans. I decided to leave my bra off, enjoying the stimulation of the silk on my nipples.
'Much better.' She said and we went down to see if we could help with dinner preparations.
'We get everything ready for dinner in good time to enjoy sundowners every evening in the living room.' Ann explained. 'Over sundowners, we discuss the events of the day and our plans for the coming day. Would you like a G&T, Olivia? It's our usual pre-dinner drink, but we have a wide selection if you would prefer something else.'
'G&T would be lovely, Ann. Thank you.' I responded and duly took hold of a long glass filled with the sparkling drink.
'We run a strict house, here, Olivia.' Ann continued. 'I'm sure Petra has told you something of it.'
I looked over at Les and felt myself blushing.
'Yes. She has indeed, Ann. I knew that when I accepted your very kind invitation for me to stay with you over Christmas. I'm sure Petra will try to keep me right, but as we all know, if I disappoint you in any way, my mum has given you permission to discipline me and I agreed to that. Petra has told me that Les punishes her quite regularly but she hasn't mentioned you doing so.' I added.
'No. That's quite right, Olivia. I don't punish her, but I usually watch as Les does. It may, or may not, surprise you to learn that I rather enjoy watching a girl being disciplined, even when it is my own daughter. It gives me quite a thrill. Petra has told me about your Matron at college. I understand she is of a similar type. So, be advised, Olivia, if either Les or I find reason to do so, you will likely find yourself being disciplined by Les, in front of me and Petra. I hope you find that acceptable.'
I suppose I could have called for a taxi to take me back home, but that was the furthest thing from my mind as our conversation drew out of me confessions and agreements that were making my stomach flutter and my breaths short and urgent. These women really knew how to turn a girl on.
'We find the best time for such activities is the afternoon, between lunch and afternoon tea. A little like your sports time at college, I suppose.' Interjected Les. Petra was looking over at me as I continued to blush, she smiling her encouragement and me trying to maintain my composure.
'Here is another thing to consider, Olivia. We perform these rituals because we all enjoy them. Nobody here is forced to participate without their own full approval. Petra has spoken with us about you and we understand this is the case with you too. You even requested a caning from Miss Kent for no reason at all. That is why we invited you here. We would not want to subject an unwilling guest to treatments they are not prepared to accept.'
'Thank you, Les. Ann. I appreciate your frankness very much. I think Petra gave you a pretty accurate description of my thoughts on all this. I agree to place myself under your authority while I am staying here with you, and accept the consequences of breaking any of the rules of your house.' There! I'd said it. I was thrilled at the prospect of the next few weeks and looking forward to spending time with Petra under a less controlled environment than college.
Ann was an attractive woman, an older, more mature version of Petra, with auburn hair and a comfortable looking bosom, trim waist and shapely legs. Les was taller, with a slightly more mannish look to her but also a bit of a looker if I was honest with myself. It turned out she had been a proficient skater in her youth and liked to keep herself fit. No more than early forties was my guess, but she certainly seemed to be the dominant one in her relationship with Ann. I wondered if Ann ever got punished in this house too.
Everybody beamed with pleasure at our understanding and my acquiescence to their wishes. So far, so good. Another round of drinks was poured, enjoyed, and then we sat down for dinner where we opened on of the bottles of wine I had brought for the festivities over Christmas.
'There is the small matter of what happened before half term, Mother.' Petra piped up. 'When I told you about that, Les gave me quite a hard spanking, even when I explained it wasn't my fault.'
'That is true.' said Les. 'What do you have to tell us about that, Olivia?'
Oh, boy. I blushed even more, not knowing how graphic I should be, and not being used to talking like this in front of people I had only just met.
'It wasn't really anyone's fault, although it looked a bit like it.' I started. 'It's just that when we were in the showers together, I noticed Petra didn't have many pubes and I wanted to see more closely. Just as I was doing that, matron walked in and caught us. She thought I was using my mouth on Petra. I wasn't.' I hoped my explanation followed what they thought they knew about that evening.
I looked at my wine glass, and took a swig before continuing. 'Miss Kent gave us twelve lashes with her tawse for that. I'm sorry, Ann. I guess I got your daughter into trouble and she was beaten because of me, even if it was a misunderstanding.' Casting my mind back to the shower room, my nipples hardened under the silk blouse.
