Audrey Kramer was not a happy camper.
Sure, she had just turned eighteen, and the birthday party she had with all her friends from high school had brought in a lot of nice giftsânot to mention a wad of cash from various relatives close and distant. But the fact that she was now officially an âadultâ struck her as a grim irony: she felt anything like the independent, dynamic young woman she ought to be by this point.
She did, of course,
look
the part. She had already become skilled at dolling herself up with makeupâlipstick, eye shadow, rouge, the worksâand, as frank and repeated examinations of her naked self in front of the mirror had abundantly established, her figure was succulent to men of all ages. While she was only of average height (five foot six), she thought her expansive boobs (36C), flat stomach, flaring hips, and round, firm bottom were irresistible to the male of the species; and she defied convention by leaving her pubic area unshaven, resulting in a thick tuft of fur reminiscent of the vintage 1970s porn film (brief clips of which she had managed to watch on various Internet sites). But her best feature, she felt, was her face: regular, even features, shining green eyes, slender nose, smallish mouth, fleshy lips, high cheekbones, all of it surrounded by a cascade of rich blond hair.
And yet, she was not happy.
Her parentsâ divorce two years ago had been traumatic, and she hadnât enjoyed the spectacle of being some kind of volleyball between her mother and father. At last, her father had won custody of herâbut that had resulted in their having to live in a cramped little apartment, so different from the big house she had occupied up to that time; and because her father wasnât exactly raking it in as a contractor, her anticipation at attending the local liberal arts college in the fall was muted by the humilation of having to commute to campus while living at home. Her dad was entirely clueless in the kitchen, so she had to take on the job of cooking for himâwhich made her feel like something of a drudge, or perhaps (although she tried to keep the thought out of her mind) a weird sort of young wife to a much older husband.
And to cap everything off, Audrey was still a virgin.
She couldnât imagine how that had happened. All manner of boys had expressed interest in her in high school, but she had never gone âall the wayâ with themâor, she admitted humiliatingly,
any
of the way. Her parentsâ divorce had really thrown her for a loop, and she had retreated into herself and gone on almost no dates during her last two years of high school. And now, with summer winding down and a grueling set of college courses impending, she wondered whenâif everâshe would ever find the opportunity of relieving herself of her tiresome virginity.
And so, one day (and night) in late August, she staged her own mini-rebellion, spending an entire night with a boyâone Randall Colemanâwho had for years looked at her with puppy-dog eyes and open mouth.
The absurdity of the situation was that, though both were âof age,â they had actually
done nothing!
Audrey had suddenly become embarrassed at being alone in bed with him (his parents were away on vacation), and Randall himself seemed so petrified at this close proximity of a desirable female that he had managed to do little that night except gawk at her. When, summoning up her courage, she had peeled down Randallâs underwear and exposed his stiffening member, it took Randall only a few pumps of Audreyâs hand before he splattered messily over his bellyâand her hand. And then, seemingly exhausted, he had promptly turned away and gone to sleep! Audrey didnât even have the heart to finish the job of her own stimulation herself.
But she knew that an earthquake would occur when she finally came home the next morning. And, sure enough, it did.
She had not only not told her dad, Arthur, where she would be that night, but had not bothered even to call himâand had turned her phone off in the wake of the frantic calls she knew would deluge that instrument all night. And so, when she sauntered into the apartment that morning (it was a Saturday, so Arthur didnât have to report to work), the explosion predictably happened.
âWhere have you been?â he thundered, red-faced.
âNone of your business,â Audrey said truculently.
âNone of our
business?
Are you insane, girl? What if you were lying dead on the street somewhere? I was on the verge of calling the police!â
âWell, Iâm just fine. Nothing happened to me.â
âYou were with a boy, werenât you?â
âOf course I was!â she said, as if a moron could have figured that out. âSo what?â
âSo what?â
Arthur all but screamed.
âIâm eighteen, Dad,â she snapped with a frown. âRemember? That means Iâm an adult.â But even as she was saying it, she knew that was absurd.
Arthur glared back at her. âSo long as you are living under this roof, young lady, you obey
my
rules. And that means, at the very minimum, telling me where youâre going to be, especially at night. And no boys!â
Audrey tried to summon up the boldness to sneer at her father. âSo what the hell are you going to do?â
âIâll
show
you what Iâm going to do.â
Even Audrey, trying as she was to brazen it out, got a little apprehensive when she saw this hulking man approach her with obviously hostile intent.
âWhat the hellâ?â she spat.
âIâm going to spank you,â he said with deceptive calmness.
âSpank me?â she said, chortling. âIâm not a kid. You canât spank me.â
âCanât I?â
And with that, he simply picked her up and carried her away.
Audrey started shrieking, âPut me down, you oaf!â But it was all to no avail. He marched, with Audrey tucked under one arm like a huge football, into her bedroom and closed the door.
âYou are
not
going to spank me!â she cried in fury.
âWatch me,â he said in that same low voice.
He pulled out her desk chair, a simple wooden thing with no arms, and sat down in it. Then he arranged Audrey on his lap. She was writhing and twisting, but couldnât get out of his grasp.
âDonât you dare!â she said.
But he paid no need. He raised her thin skirt and looked at her white cotton underwear for a few moments. Then he pulled it down to her knees.
âNot on my bare bottom!â she shrieked, now thoroughly frightened. âYou canât do this!â
He began spanking.
And he spanked hard. It was not just the pain of the repeated strikes against her posterior, but the utter humiliation she felt at having her private parts all but exposed to her own father, that mortified her to the point that she wanted to sink into the earth and never emerge. Audrey was not one to cryâshe didnât think she had cried since she was about eight years oldâbut, as the open-handed spanking continued relentlessly, she was unable to withhold a torrent of choked tears. Eventually they gave way to sobs and wails that made her sound exactly like the little girl she thought she no longer was.
The spanking went on for the better part of fifteen minutes, but to Audrey it seemed like an eon. The pain had now become one unending dynamo of wretchedness and misery, and each repeated slap forced out from her throat a grunt that made it sound as if . . .
At long last, Arthur let up.
Audrey was still whining and mewing, and she could scarcely hear him when he said: âI hope youâve learned a lesson now.â
She made no answer to that, but did her best to restrain her sniffling. Breathing hard, she managed to say: âIâIâm sorry.â
Arthur took the apology in the spirit in which it was intended. âIâm sure you are. I hope youâll behave better from now on.â
He looked around and spotted some hand lotion conveniently within reach on a nightstand. He took it in his hands.
âYour bottomâs quite red. Youâve been punished enough, so maybe you need some relief.â
