It was quite late when I arrived home with Meghan. Meghan dumped her bag in the spare room and headed towards the kitchen to make some coffee. I don't know why she bothered with a mug. The way she drank the stuff an intravenous drip would be more suitable. While she was doing that I went looking for Cathy, my baby-sitter. My guess was that she'd be in the front room watching the TV.
Cathy was slouched on the couch, feet resting on the coffee table, in that careless style that teenagers have, though you'd think that at eighteen she'd be past that sort of behaviour. I took a moment to check her out. She was a pretty young thing, fit and healthy with a happy disposition. Right now she was wearing a loose top and a short skirt, and the slouching way she was sitting meant far more leg was on display than should have been.
"Feet off the table," I gently suggested as a way of greeting.
"Oh, hi, Mr Roberts," she said with a smile.
She glanced down at her feet and with a very put-upon air swung her legs off the table, one at a time. Doing it, she managed to lift each leg somewhat higher than required, resulting in her panties being flashed at me. It was quite deliberate, too.
She slowly stretched, which caused her breasts to fill that previously loose top, and then she leaned forward, slowly getting to her feet. Her leaning forward returned her top to a state of looseness, and a gaping neckline meant that I had an excellent view of a pair of nice breasts, B+ or C, nicely shaped and unencumbered by anything so inconvenient as a bra.
The smirk on her face said that she knew what she had and she knew that I'd been looking. I had no doubt whatsoever that that had been her precise intention.
"Little girls who tease can find themselves getting into all sorts of trouble," I observed.
"Really? Who could you possibly mean?" she asked, the smirk firmly on her face. "Not me, surely?"
"If the hat hits," I said and she outright laughed.
"Now that's an old piece of slang. Showing your age there, Mr Roberts. Besides what can you do, anyway?"
"Oh, I think I can come up with an appropriate penalty," I said and she laughed again.
"Yeah? What do you suggest? Ground me? Oh, wait, you can't. You're not my father. Stop my pocket money? Don't get any. I actually have a real job these days. Mmm?"
"If push came to shove I could always smack your bottom," I pointed out. "Of course, that could lead to additional penalties."
"What sort of additional penalties?" she asked, and this time it was my turn to smirk.
The message seeped through and she blushed.
"You wouldn't dare," she snapped. "Besides, I could stop you easily enough if you did get any silly ideas."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Okay, I'll make a deal with you. I'm going to put you across my knee and spank you. If you can really stop me I'll double your pay for the baby-sitting."
"Fine, it's a bet," she said. "I can use the extra money. Amy."
She smiled and waited for Amy to appear.
"We both know what Amy will say," she said. "You might as well start counting my pay now."
"What's going on?" came Meghan's voice.
Cathy didn't even turn around to look. She started right on with her complaint.
"Mr Roberts said he's going to put me across his knee and spank my bare bottom," she complained, stretching the facts as she knew them.
"Really? So you called me in to watch. This'll be fun."
At that Cathy turned around with some haste.
"You're not Amy," she protested.
"No. I'm Meghan, Amy's cousin. Mr Jenkins is at a surgeon's conference for the next two days and as Amy is his protΓ©gΓ© she's been requested to go along. Valuable experience for her and I get to play with the kids for a couple of days."
"Oh. Well anyway, you're standing in for Amy so you have to stop him."
"Why's he going to spank you? What did you do?"
"Nothing. He's just going to do it because he's a brute. Tell him he can't."
I caught hold of Cathy's arm, bringing her attention back to me.
"Sometimes when you bet on a sure thing you find that the other person is doing the same. Come along."
I sat on the couch, pulling Cathy across my knee. I flick her skirt up and rested my hand on her bottom.
"Wait a moment," I said. "She said I'd be spanking her bare bottom, didn't she?" I asked Meghan.
"She did. Don't worry. I'll pull her panties down for you."
"Wait," protested Cathy. "You didn't say anything about a bare bottom."
"True. This is entirely your own idea. Consider it part of the additional penalties."
Cathy's panties went down very smoothly, even though she squealed and protested. She also clamped her legs tightly together, trying to hide as much as she could.
"What did you mean by additional penalties?" asked Meghan.
"All I said was that smacking her bottom could lead to additional penalties, and let her imagination supply an answer. A naked bottom was her immediate thought. Me, I'd have suggested taking her top off, as she's not wearing a bra and she seemed rather keen to show what she had under the top."
