What to do with a wayward, spoiled, teenage, girl. A Stick? A Carrot?
By Nikki_Kernovii
Author's Note: Any mind that is still awake and working at 3:00 am can only be described as feverish. Having a chronic illness means that I spend too many 3:00 am's awake, watching the images in my fevered mind pass across the dark ceiling. Sometimes I can play a whole movie: scene by scene, word for word, other times I play a game of what if? What if this happened?
After a recent conversation this 'What if?' entertained my early morning darkness.
The characters and some of the behavior is real. The names... not so much.
The rest? Well, What if?
What was I to do?
I sat and stared at my niece, sitting on the sofa across from me and wondered. What was I to do?
Her eyes were blood-shot. She looked sleepy. Her homework was in the bag by the door, exactly where it had been when I left to go out.
I couldn't let such behavior slide by. Especially as this was not the first time.
I wasn't sure what my brother would say or do, if anything.
I sighed. "Cheryl. I am afraid that I cannot let such behavior go without some comment. I DID NOT give you permission to help yourself to my alcohol stores. I know you are eighteen, and can legally drink. But you are supposed to be a responsible adult. You were supposed to be responsible for my family. You are supposed to be old enough to know to ask, before helping yourself to other people's stuff. You are here to look after my children, care for my house, do your studies. Studies that, my brother tells me, where you are already behind at college. I am so very disappointed in you. And I am sure that this is not the first time. Just that this time I took more notice."
"I...I, " She started to say.
"There is no point denying it Cheryl. I can see the levels in at least two bottles have gone down. The vodka by a large amount. The whisky, maybe less so. But that 25 year old Glen Farclas is £80 a bottle. It is not to be chugged. Gods! I can smell it on your breath. I really thought that I could trust you. I thought you were glad of the extra money." I sighed again.
"I am. I'm sorry David. I didn't mean to. It's been a shitty week."
"I understand. I have shitty weeks as well. But that behavior is not the answer. If I am to let you babysit in the future, and part with my hard-earned cash, I have to know that I can trust you. I'm going to have to talk to my brother about this."
"No. Please Uncle David. No. Please. I'm in enough trouble as it is. Please don't tell him." She pleaded, sliding forward on the sofa. Her skirt, already short and baring a lot of shapely leg, revealed even more. She wasn't wearing any underwear.
Niece or no niece, that was distracting. Actually though, she was the daughter of my older brother's second wife, after his first wife ran off with a younger man. So not a blood related niece. But still! I was troubled by where my thoughts were going.
I had had a good night out. It had been my second date with a lovely lady from the office, and the start of what I hoped would be a good relationship. A nice date. Lots of talking and getting to know each other better. But we were both taking things slowly, so I had not gone back to her place, though gods alone knew I had wanted to.
"Cheryl. Let me make something very clear. Do you want to babysit for me? Do you want the money?"
"Yes Uncle David." She said softly.
"If I am not to tell my brother, then I must punish you myself. And it will have to mean something to make it effective. I am not going to withhold the money. I understand that you need that. But maybe something else."
"Yes Uncle David. Whatever... But please, please don't tell my dad. Please. Or Mum. Pleeeaaassse."
"OK." I stood and left the room, only to return a moment later.
"Jesus H fucking christ. What the hell are those?" Cheryl asked, aghast. As well she might.
"Language. Young lady." I reprimanded. "This..." I held the first item up. "Is a leather tawse. This.. " I held the second item out. "Is a rattan cane. Items used to be common discipline methods, in schools, back in the day. Before they were banned. Today I am going to use the Tawse. You will lay across the arm of the chair, and I am going to spank you twelve times. It is going to hurt. However, it will hurt less than If I use the cane. I use that, and you won't be sitting down for a week. Either that or I have a long talk with my brother and I stop trusting you to babysit." I hesitated waving both items in the air.
Cherly's eyes were watching the tawse and cane swing back and forth, mesmerized by the motion, or maybe the articles themselves.
"Oh.... Okay. Ermmm. Ok." She was hesitant. But I could see that she had already surrendered.
I pointed to the arm of my favorite armchair by the fire place.
"Now young lady." I said, sternly.
Slowly Cheryl rose from the sofa and moved towards the armchair. I kind of guessed why she was hesitating. As she bent, she knew and I knew, that her naked bottom would be on display.
Well, it was her choice. I might have to comment about that later.
"Right over." I said.
She bent down to place her head on the seat.
"Hands in front of you. And don't move." I commanded.
She put her hands to her head.
I moved to stand where I could get a good swing at her rear. Gods and what a gorgeous rear.
I knew it had looked good in clothes. It looked super soft and squishy, as she clenched and relaxed her butt muscles in her anticipation.
Took after her mother - Gillian. She too had a nice-looking rear. Actually, she was not a bad looking lady. She didn't have the bleach, blonde, hair and pneumatic tits of my brother's first wife. That one had been a bit of a ditzy, Essex girl. But my brother Alan had always been more of a breast man. I had always been more of a legs and ass man myself. My late wife was definitely more of the legs and ass type girl.
I had used both the tawse and the cane on her on a few occasions. The tawse more than the cane, we had agreed. The cane really left marks. The tawse could be used to good effect. Either as a tool of punishment, which truly, was not often. But it could also be a tool of arousal, which we both enjoyed.
The tawse and cane had sat unused for over a year, since my wife had lost her life to her breast cancer.
I gulped and wiped away the tears of memory.
I needed to be here and now.
I swung the tawse in the air a couple of times, eliciting a satisfying swish. Cheryl clenched her butt cheeks, making the spongy flesh quiver in a delightful manner. I could enjoy that on its own.
What fun.
The first blow brought a loud gasp from Cheryl's lips.
Even though I struck high, and most of her bottom was still covered by the short, black, skirt, a red line soon appeared, peeking out under the hem.
For the second blow I tried to aim for a different spot. That one covered more of her naked butt cheeks. Her skirt rose slightly. I could see her naked vulva peeking between her thighs.
Shaved. At her age? I did have to wonder about her life style.
Was this common these days? Maybe it was a different time with different fashions.
On the third stroke, Cheryl gave out a distinct "Oooowwweee"
By the fourth she was shaking and clinging to the chair cushion to hold her hands in place.
The fifth and sixth blows I delivered quickly. I was worried that she might try to move out of the way. I was also worried about my own arousal. I had not expected to be quite so taken by her hot, red, rear.
Seventh blow. "Ow, ow, ow."
Eighth blow. She was defiantly crying now.
Nine and ten came quick and hard. Her bottom was jiggling all on its own with each blow.
"Stop. Please stop. I can't take anymore." Cheryl was shaking.
"Stay still. Two more."
I didn't let her have a chance and let the last two come fast, but maybe not so hard.
"Stand up." I ordered. More for my sake than for hers.
I held the tawse down to hide my erection, poking hard at the front of my chinos.
Even in struggling off the armchair, Cheryl managed to ruck the skirt right up to her waist.
Gods what a lovely red, round, bottom.
I looked away quickly.
To calm down, I left the room, returned the cane and tawse to their hiding place at the back of a cupboard. When I returned to the living room, Cheryl was standing in the middle, one hand rubbing her rear, the other brushing the tears from her damp cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Uncle David. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." She sniffed.
"OK. I believe you. Now you better go to the bathroom and wash your face before you go home."
Cheryl rushed from the room.
I flopped in the chair and took a deep breath.
What had I done?
How would this change the relationship?
Cheryl returned with a cleaner face, but still downcast and sniffing.
"Uncle David, can I ask a question?"
"Sure."
"Why have you got those things?" She asked. She blushed deeply.
I should have expected the question.
"My late wife and I played with them occasionally. If you must know, tonight is one of the very few times I've really used that tawse in anger. We used them more for fun. And before you ask, I will never ever use them on my children. Understand?"
"Sort of. I'm not sure I understand the fun part. My bum hurts something terrible."
"You'll recover soon enough. Now. You better get home, and promise me that tomorrow you will knuckle down and get some college work done. Ok."
"Yes Uncle David. I am sorry. Will you still let me babysit?"
"Yes. We are quits now. If you are free, I will ask. I'm hoping to see Isabel again in a few days. I'll let you know."
"Ok. Thanks. Maybe we can talk and you can tell me about her. And... And..." She said, but trailed off as if there was something on her mind.
"And what?"
"I... I have some questions. If you are OK talking." She asked hesitantly.
"You can ask. Whether I answer is a different matter. I'll try to make some time next time you come round. Now scoot. You're going to be late."
Cheryl grabbed her bag and headed for the door.
I couldn't drive her home and leave the children in the house alone, obviously. That was why I had a babysitter. And my brother's house was only at the other end of the village. Maybe a mile away. But along the main street and it was fairly well lit. There would be other people about. She would be safe.
It took me a few minutes to lock up and turn out the lights before I could head to the bathroom and jack off. I really needed that. What a horny evening.
I chatted with Isabel regularly. And we did go out together. Things were certainly improving. She was still scarred by her first husband who had been quite abusive, so wanted to be safe with me. I guessed that it might mean I would never get to spank her. But I could resign myself to that.
I guess? Maybe.
When I returned home, Cheryl had her books all over the sofa and coffee table. I gave a quick check to my bottles and could see the levels had not moved from the tiny notches I had cut on the side of the labels.
Maybe Cheryl had learned her lesson.
I hoped so.
And so it was for the next two occasions that I went out and Cheryl babysat.
