We returned to our hostel as college was reopening. Our results would be declared in a week into the college and this made us nervous. We both wanted to do well, and the threat of punishment added more edge. The results came, I passed all my exams, but, Anu, flunked in one. I felt very sorry for her and we chatted a bit about it. Anu did not seem that disappointed. Paddy, on cue, called us that evening. He was very happy about my results and congratulated me. He spoke to Anu and scolded her. We were both invited to his apartment for the coming weekend.
"This won't be fun." Anu spoke as she hung up.
"I'm sorry for you."
"Yes, Paddy did not seem happy. I think my ass will pay a price."
By that time, we had realized that most infractions resulted in spankings. There was not much I could say. I was happy it was not me but also did not want it to be Anu. I imagined Anu would get another spanking from him. Anu's failure dampened the spirit and I could not celebrate either. The weekend came, and we went to his place as planned. Paddy had arranged for food and there was quite a collection. He praised me again and offered us food. He was a bit cold with Anu, and, I could feel it. We ate mostly in silence. Once dinner was done, we all went to his living room.
"Let's get the main item out of the way. Anu, you did fine, but that 1 exam screwed up things. I still need to punish you. And Priya, you did well but you need to watch and understand what will happen if you don't maintain this."
"I studied hard. There is an element of luck." Anu tried to reason.
"There is no luck. You either achieve results or you don't".
"But..."
"No buts. And no more whining from you."
Anu's frustration in being singled out here and boiling up. She vented it out loud.
"Look, can you be a bit reasonable? You such a control freak. I don't think this is fair."
There was a significant tension in the air now. Paddy who was getting irritated seemed to calm down. But, as with him, he was always harder when he was calm.
"I have enough of this debate and this outburst is going to cost you. I set the rules. If you don't want to comply, you also need to let go of the privileges. Now, be a grown up and deal with the consequences. No more words from you! In fact, how about you get naked, now!"
The tone of his voice seemed to break down Anu's defiance. There was no easy way out of this. Submitting to his will was the only answer.
"I'll be back. Better get moving." He went to his room.
Anu looked at me and I gave a compassionate shrug. There was not much to say. She slowly removed her t-shirt and then her jeans. My ass tingled at the thought of her getting spanked. I could only imagine what she was thinking. Paddy returned with a paddle, which, we had never seen before. It was long like the ruler but wider at the end and had a good handle. It was made for the spanking. He also had a bottle of oil in his hands, and, I wondered what it was for.
"Get rid of panties and bra as well. Quick!"
Anu stripped off her remaining clothes and stood stark naked. Paddy kept the paddle on the table and asked Anu to get on his lap. She draped herself on his lap and almost immediately, received several spanks with his hand.
"This will hurt and if you don't take like a grown up, it will only drag longer."
He then applied some oil on her butt and massaged it. After getting her butt fully oiled, he proceeded to give her more swats with the hand. He adjusted her bum and gave her more. Anu stayed quiet and defiant. But that defiance was soon to end. Paddy asked her to stand up and assume the position by grabbing her ankles. Her ass stretched and presented itself for the paddle. Paddy prolonged the torment by asking her to adjust her hips and wiggle into a position.
Whack! The first paddled landed and Anu let out a whimper.
Whack!, Whack!, Whack! Three more landed.
By the 6th, Anu's defiance was gone. She had tears in her eyes and she was trying to apologize her way out of this.
"Please, I am sorry."
"I think you need to feel lot sorrier. Let's do six more and you can say you are sorry after each one. Let' see if you really are sorry. Ok?"
Anu had no choice and so had to embarrassingly call out each stroke and punctuate it with a "I'm sorry".
By the end of this, Anu ass was quite red and she was squealing her apologizes. I watched dazed, in morbid curiosity at how Paddy seemed to be methodical at spanking her. He made sure the strokes covered all her ass and adjusted the impact between strokes. As the 12th one landed, Anu leapt up and started rubbing her behind. Paddy let it go for a short while.
"Enough rubbing. Stand in there with your hands away from your bottom. I am not done with you."
I could see the despair in Anu's eyes when she heard that it was not over. But she kept quiet. Paddy went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water. He gave it to Anu and she drank happily.
"I will start the 2nd part in 10 minutes. This one is because you whined like a little girl and did not accept your mistake."
"Please, I am really sorry." Anu tried one more attempt.
