Poppy stumbled into the hallway. She giggled, fumbling her keys out the front door before closing it with a bump of her generous hip. She smoothed the front of her skin-tight dress down over her thighs, coughed, and steadied herself. She'd had more fun tonight than she could remember having since college. Loving the way her new dress hugged her figure, she strode confidently down the hallway. The way all those men had been unable to take their eyes off her the entire evening made her feel incredible. Real men. Men who knew how to assert themselves, who showed a woman their interest without being apologetic. God, she loved the way it juiced her confidence.
Her boss, Jerry, in particular, had been casting appreciative glances over her figure, and his wife was nearly half Poppy's age. Yes, it had been a good decision to wear this dress out. It was wasted on Charlie. Poppy had been a good girl all her life. Hadn't she earned the right to be just a little bad?
As she stepped into the lounge she was startled when the standing lamp flicked on. She froze.
There sat Brent in a pool of light, the expression on his face grave.
She'd not realized that he was coming home. Brent had been opting to spend most of his weekends in the city where he'd recently started working. She saw he was still wearing his suit, though his jacket was off and his tie was loosened. She felt something like warm honey being poured down her spine. Her boy was all grown up and so handsome that those city girls must be throwing themselves at him.
"What time do you call this?" He demanded, oozing a barely leashed menace. His tone stern, his manner commanding, nothing like his toothless lion of a father. He was definitely more her son than Charlie's.
"When did you get home?" Poppy prepared to defend herself and then remembered who she was. She was the mother here and Brent was her child. She stood up straight, placed a hand on her hip, and redirected haughtily, "What business is that of yours?"
"You've been out awfully late. Would dad approve, what with him being out of town on a conference?"
"I don't care what he thinks. I'm a grown woman. If I choose to go out and have drinks with my work friends that has nothing to do with him. Or you, for that matter."
Brent snorted, "Dad might be too soft to do anything about it, but," His eyes traveled up her length. She suddenly felt the thinness of her dress, clinging to her like a second skin, "This behavior reflects on all of us. I'm not going to stand for it."
"Stand for what? I was just having after-work drinks with some friends."
"Male friends?"
She remained silent.
"Until after midnight? Dressed like that?!"
Poppy looked down at her dress. It stretched over her wide hips and strained to contain her prodigious bust. She'd bought it because of how provocative it was. She wore it tonight knowing it would get her the attention she craved.
"Well, maybe if your father paid me some attention..." The muttered words came out before she could stop them.
Brent shook his head. He couldn't fathom it, how could his father ignore his mother for even a second? Those curves were the stuff of poetry. His father had had the wherewithal to win her hand but lacked the stamina to keep it. Brent would be damned if some other creep wormed his way into their lives just because his father was too cowardly to fight to keep his wife. Brent knew her better than anyone. She was someone who appreciated strong character and a firm set of boundaries. He knew this because it was the way she raised him
"What are you going to do about it, anyway?" Poppy threw back her chocolate-colored hair and scoffed. She was sick of the pleading of inferior men like Charlie. Having reached her limit she pointed out the room and ordered, "Go to bed Brent." She turned to leave, her dismissive tone stinging her son's pride.
He grabbed her by the wrist and halted her progress. "If you insist on acting this way I'm going to have to bring back some of the discipline that has been sorely lacking in this household of late. Dad might have dropped the ball, but I'm picking it up."
Poppy felt a thrill in her chest. She loved to see a man take command like this. "Oh yeah, Brent? How do you plan on doing that?" She challenged, cocking a shapely eyebrow. If Brent was anything like his father he would just roll over now. That was what all men did when she turned the full force of her femininity on them. Even the thought of that timidity made her lip curl with disgust.
Brent felt his anger rise. "The same way you disciplined me as a child," he replied in an icy tone, surprising her with his unflinching control.
"Ha!" Poppy snorted and made to move away from Brent. But he held her tight. She glared at her son's restraining hand but he bared his teeth and said, "I see you need a little lesson right now." He jerked her towards him. She squawked as he caught her roughly and bent her over his knee. Her huge breasts squashed against his leg, almost spilling out of her dress. Her big ass was laid out perfectly on his lap. Poppy was just opening her mouth to protest when the flat of Brent's hand landed with a resounding crack across her backside. The mound of flesh, tightly packed into the thin material, quivered from the blow.
But, to Brent's surprise, instead of protest or shocked silence, his actions were only met with laughter.
"Oh, come on Brent. I'm not a child. This isn't going to work." Poppy was baiting her son now. That smack had set something tingling in her belly. She wasn't sure she wanted it to go away just yet. Suddenly she felt alive for the first time in years.
Determined, Brent argued back, "Maybe I'm just being too soft on you. I seem to remember that you had some pretty strict rules about how a smack is to be properly administered."
"What do you..." but she was cut off as Brent brazenly peeled up the hem of her dress. She struggled in his grip but he held her with effortless strength. Her impressive backside, creamy white and flawless in complexion was suddenly bared to her son. She gasped at the cool air on her ass, the only protection to her modesty the briefest of thongs, which was almost entirely swallowed up by her plump cheeks. "Hey!" She started but then squealed when Brent landed a truly stinging blow on her right cheek.
Her flesh was wonderfully mushy. Where his hand struck it sank deep into the meat of her ass and sent out a swell of flesh that resounded through her body right up to her tits. He ground his hand into the wounded area as she protested and struggled against his hold.
She was still recovering from the shock of the blow when she felt his fingers pluck rudely at her thong. "Is this the sort of thing a decent married woman wears to drinks with 'work friends?" He asked.
Jesus, her son was fingering her underwear.
Brent pulled his hand back and grinned wolfishly at the red handprint that had already formed on her cheek. "Brent," she warned but was silenced again with another swift blow to her left cheek. This stung as bad as the first. Brent was not holding back. Her ass, cooler than the rest of her at first, warmed up rapidly under the first two blows. A healthy blush appeared as blood rushed to the affected areas.
