I'm Eric. I'm around thirty, fit and healthy, with a good job. Not married and currently between girlfriends, a state that I don't expect to last for long.
I live in a semi-detached house at the end of a court. I mention this because it means that apart from me and the couple next door, there are no passers-by. We do get the odd salesmen, but not many of them.
The couple next door are Bethany and Neil. They're both in their early twenties. Bethany is a very pretty girl. A bit shallow and a trifle vain but really just your everyday young woman. A little hot-headed at times, I've noticed, and also rather pigheaded. When she and Neil argue, Bethany generally wins by outlasting him. She certainly doesn't win on logic, because I've heard some of their arguments. They can be a bit loud at times.
Neil is rather more placid than Bethany, which makes me wonder at times how the two of them ever got together. To put it mildly, I'd categorise Neil as a wimp, first class. He really needs to start pulling Bethany into line.
It had been a hot day, and I was sitting on my veranda, enjoying the evening breeze, just relaxing with a beer. After a while I'd go in and watch the game on TV. It was a nice peaceful moment, one of those moments that are hard to come by.
My peaceful moment was ruined when Bethany and Neil came out to sit on the bench on their veranda. Apparently their house was still a bit hot and they had decided to catch the breeze as well. It also quickly became apparent that they'd been arguing while in the house, and were bringing their argument with them.
Neil was being straightforward and reasonable. (In my opinion.) Bethany was being petty and rude. (Also in my opinion.) He'd make a telling point and Bethany would completely ignore it and argue about some irrelevant triviality. She'd have made a fine politician.
It was pretty clear who'd win in the long run. Like I said, Neil was a wimp, and he wouldn't put his foot down. Or plant it firmly up her arse which is what he should do. Bethany's capacity for carping, and her ability to total ignoring the truth and the issue at hand, was going to win out in the end.
They both totally ignored me of course. I was sitting only a few feet away and could hear everything but they didn't give a damn. Neither did they give a damn that they were spoiling my peaceful evening. I was about to give it up and go inside when I decided why the hell should I?
I walked over to the railing separating the two verandas and stepped over it.
"You know, Neil," I said to him, "you're phrasing your arguments to Bethany all wrong. Would you like me to show you the correct way?"
He gave me a sour look, knowing he was getting no place, and assuming that I'd have no better luck. I sat on the bench next to Bethany and nodded to her, smiling. Then I pulled her so she fell across my knee, flicked her skirt up out the way and landed a hard spank on her bottom.
Bethany squealed and Neil laughed.
"That was just the warm up," I told Neil. "The full argument should be delivered on a bare bottom. If you'd be so kind?"
I indicated Bethany's panties and, still laughing, Neil pulled them down and off. Bethany gave another indignant squeal at this but then she had other things to be concerned about. I gave Bethany half a dozen good solid spanks to her bottom, while she squealed and wriggled.
Wondering just how gullible Neil was, I paused for a moment.
"Bethany would feel this a lot more if you took off her top as well. Being spanked while naked is rather embarrassing for a young lady, as well as painful. So if you don't mind?"
