The Final Atonement

Alexis pulled her legs up and tucked her knees beneath her chin. She pulled the hood of her sweatshirt down over her eyes. She wanted to disappear into the couch.

“I think you realized this morning that there would be more consequences for what you and Alex did, and you were right.” Drew said.

Alexis looked away.

“Yesterday Jack and I reacted by spanking both of you right in front of each other.” Drew said.

Alexis’s face flushed red.

Drew’s heart began to melt a little as he looked down at her. “I know you feel that was rough. I’ve been spanked in front of other people before too when I was young, and it sucks.”

“In front of your boyfriend?” Her tone was bitter.

“I’ve never had a ‘boyfriend’.” Drew laughed. “But no, I wasn’t spanked in front of my girlfriend either. You probably don’t believe this Alex, but there are worse things in life than being spanked in front of your boyfriend. You’ll get over it.” Drew said.

“I’ll get over it when I’m dead.” Alexis said bitterly.

Drew could see this was getting him nowhere. “We’ll finish talking about this later on, but right now. Why am I punishing you?”

Alexis couldn’t help it. “You mean you don’t know?” She asked sarcastically.

“You better stop being smart with me Alex.” Drew said sternly. “Just tell me everything you did wrong, from start to finish, so I know you know why you are being punished.”

Alexis didn’t want to have a “talk” she just wanted this whole thing to be over. She didn’t want to answer a bunch of questions. She wanted to die. It took everything in her power to sit there and face the music. She wanted to run more than anything right then.

 

Drew sat down next to her and looked down intently into her eyes. “I love you Alexis, but you did some things that were wrong. Tell me what they were.”

She wanted to open her mouth and say what they were, but she couldn’t. Tears started to fill her eyes. She tried to hold the tears back, but they soon began to run down her face. She tried to wipe them away quickly so they wouldn’t be noticed, but it wasn’t working.

Drew steeled himself to continue. “C’mon, I want an answer.”

Her tears fell harder. “I didn’t mean to…” Her voice caught in her throat.

Drew liked it better when she was defiant, then he didn’t feel so torn about punishing her. “Yeah, I guess making arrangements for a fake medical note and missing school after handing in the note, not for one day but two days, was just something you did by accident. Going across town and riding in a stolen truck with a boy out to the countryside to do God only knows what, was just something you did by accident too. I can see where stuff like that ACCIDENTALLY happens all the time.”

Alexis laughed a little at how crazy it sounded. “OK, I guess I meant to.” She continued sniffing and wiping the tears from her eyes.

Drew nodded. “Yes I think you did. And look where it got you?”

Alexis fought hard to stop her tears, but they wouldn’t quit. “Do I have to have a whipping again? It hurts.”

“I know it does.” Drew said. “But what I gave you yesterday, was only half of what you deserved. Jack told me he was only giving Alex part of his punishment, so I thought I would do the same with you.”

She thought of Alex and wondered what he was going through upstairs. She hoped he was faring better than she was, but from the sounds of it she didn’t think he was.

“Please don’t use your belt.” She pleaded.

“Did you want me to use that slipper?” Drew asked.

“No!” Alexis said.

“Did you want me to teach you how to cut a switch?” Drew asked.

“No!” Her eyes got big. “Can’t you just ground me?”

“Well, you are pretty much grounded all the time. Your entire life is like being grounded, so I don’t think that would work. You have to take the rest of your punishment, to pay for what you did wrong.” Drew said.

“Don’t use the belt.” She pleaded. “I hate it.”

Drew looked at her for a moment, then stood up and left her alone for a brief moment while he went into the kitchen. She thought of running, but he came back too soon. “Ok, I have an idea.” He said pulling a nearby wooden chair out into the middle of the room and sitting down on it. “Come over here and bend over my lap.”

“What?” She asked.

“I’m going to give you an old fashioned spanking over my knee.” He said. “You don’t want the belt, so let’s give this a try.”

“You’re kidding.” She said with wide eyes.

“Pull down your pants and get over my lap.” He said, looking intently into her eyes. He patted his knee. “C’mon.”

“And if I don’t?” She asked.

“Stop stalling. If you don’t hurry I’ll change my mind and take off my belt.” He said.

She quickly pulled her pants and panties down and bent forward over his knee. This was new. She felt a little bit like a 5 year old. She was also somewhat self-conscious about what he might be able to see when it came to her private parts. Usually she was much further away from him. Soon none of that mattered.

He looked at her bottom. It was purple and red from where the belt had left marks from the night before. He could tell it still hurt. This was not going to be easy. He raised his arm high in the air and started smacking her on the bare bottom as hard as he could with his open hand.

“Ouch!” She cried out. “That fucking hurts.” She turned to look up at him in protest.

Drew stopped momentarily and laughed. “Just as I suspected all along, you’re going to complain no matter what you are spanked with.” SMACK! SMACK!

Drew spanked her on her bare bottom as hard as he could. His hands were large and callous. He was strong. He smacked away with all his might and she began to cry loudly from the sting of it. Soon the tears flowed freely and her bottom felt like it was on fire. She wiggled in protest. This was definitely not any better than the belt. She wondered if it was worse. He was quick with his smacks and kept smacking her hard and fast giving her no time in between to absorb the pain.

“Ouch!” “Stop it!” “No more!” She kicked and repeatedly put her hands back to block him. “It hurts!” She sobbed.

He warned her several times to hold still. Finally he figured out a way to pin her down. He put one of his legs over her legs to keep her from kicking so much. He positioned her over his other knee in a sort of scissor hold, and held her wrist in the small of her back, with his free hand, to keep her from constantly thrusting her hands in his way. She yelled loudly when he started smacking her again. “Owwww” “Ouch!” “Stop!”

Drew’s hand began to hurt after awhile because he was not accustomed to using it in this manner. But he didn’t slow down or hold back. He kept spanking her hard, until finally she felt him stop and was greatly relieved, until she realized he wasn’t finished.

“Here is a little surprise I brought back from the kitchen.” He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a large wooden spoon and held it in front of her so she could see it. “I want you to remember this spanking for awhile.”

Her eyes got huge. “Don’t spank me with that!” She tried to wiggle free in protest.

He held her firmly over his knee and began to smack her with the wooden spoon. If she thought his hand hurt, it was nothing compared to the sting of the spoon on her already tender backside.

He alternated cheeks, back and forth with the spoon, in a staccato like manner, smacking her bare bottom hard. Her backside was becoming sorer with each passing second. Drew was amazed at how hot her bottom was getting. He wondered if the temperature in the cottage would go up from the radiation.

“Oh my God!” She screamed. “Please…” She was dying as the wooden spoon repeatedly smacked her bare bottom, over and over, relentlessly, very hard. She was wishing she had just let him use his belt.

SMACK! SMACK! The intensity of the spanking drove her into near hysterics. Her sobs were deep and heartfelt and her screams were very real. He could tell she was learning her lesson. She was not enjoying this at all, not one little bit.

“I hope you realize that what little freedom you had is gone now, on top of this spanking you are getting.” He said as he finished smacking each of her cheeks another ten good whacks with the spoon.

She sobbed hysterically in response. He finally stopped. She hoped she never saw that spoon, ever again.

He helped her up to her feet. She was so distraught he also helped her pull up her pants. She was writhing from the sting of being over his knee and smacked with his hand and that nasty wooden spoon. She continued to scream hysterically as if he had just killed her.

“Alex..shhhhhhh” Drew had never seen her this upset before. He really did wail on her good and hard. “Shhhhhh” He patted her hair and stood up and pulled her against his chest. “It’s over now.” He kept soothing her and holding her against him until finally her screams subsided and turned into small sobs. She closed her eyes, never wanting to open them again. Her hands were rubbing her sore bottom, and it was not helping.

“Shhhhh” he kept soothing her until she was quiet. “I’m sorry Alex, but you had that coming.”

She wasn’t sure she agreed with him, but she was very happy it was finally over.

Drew finally let her go and she crawled away from him over to the couch and curled up in a ball with her back turned away from the room. Her breathing was ragged and she was still crying as her hand held her bottom and she continued to rub herself. Drew decided it was best just to leave her alone for awhile and he went to the kitchen to put the spoon away and then he went outside to get some air. He needed it. That hadn’t been pleasant for him, and he was a bit torn up inside.

Comforting Friendship

Alex came downstairs to find Alexis curled up alone on the couch. He thought of her cries, he had heard them from upstairs, and his heart started to ache for her. Somehow he felt this was his fault. If he hadn’t been so eager to impress her by giving her the medical note, none of this would have ever happened. Then he quickly reasoned that she didn’t have to go along with it, but he still felt responsible.

He sat down on the floor beside the couch and reached up and put a hand on her back. “Hey, pretty face.” He said softly.

She slowly unrolled and turned around to face him. “Hey.” Her eyes were swollen from crying so hard.

“You’re alive!” Alex smiled. Seeing her red rimmed eyes tugged at his heart strings. Thinking of her red bottom the day before as Drew strapped her with his belt also tugged at his heart. Drew had really spanked her hard, he could tell from her reaction.

She tried to go back to being her old self, but she really wasn’t up to it. She just looked into Alex’s face and sniffed.

She started to sit up and Alex climbed up on the couch next to her. “I’m sorry I ever suggested we do this.”

“It’s OK, it wasn’t all your idea. I was there too.” She sniffed. At this point she wasn’t embarrassed anymore for him to see her cry or to know she got spanked. There was no point to being embarrassed anymore.

“Well I never thought things would end like this.” Alex said.

“Me either.” Alexis winced when she tried to move. “God, my dad is a bastard.”

“Naw, he’s just doing his duty and making you as miserable as he can, it’s what parents do.” Alex ruffled her hair playfully, hoping to cheer her up a little.

“I wish he would find something else to do instead.” The tears leaked out, even though she didn’t want them to, and it frustrated her.

Alex laughed and looked around to make sure no one was watching, especially Drew, then he leaned over and started to kiss her tenderly on the lips. “I’m glad you are OK, I was worried about you.” He whispered softly as he kissed her. Feeling his moist lips on hers suddenly made her stop crying. He kissed her for a minute or two and then held her in his arms. “I’m so sorry for all of this.” He whispered.

She closed her eyes and buried her head in his chest. “I wish we hadn’t got caught, but I don’t know if I’m sorry we did it.”

Alex smiled. “You are a stubborn girl aren’t you? We shouldn’t have done it. We could have caused a lot of trouble for my dad, and ourselves. We are lucky our dad’s found us when they did and nothing worse than that happened.”

“I know.” Alexis admitted after awhile.

Neither of them could find the words to say what they wanted to say. It was awkward for them, but despite what had happened, they still felt a strong attraction, even stronger than before.

“Your dad is a lousy card player.” Alexis finally said, looking up at him with a smile.

“I know!” Alex laughed. “But he thinks he is good, so don’t tell him, OK?”

“Next time we do this – “ Alexis began.

“Uhhhhhh, stop right there pretty face.” Alex cut her off. “We’re not doing this again.”

“Are you chicken?” She teased.

He began to tickle her as Drew opened the door of the cottage. “OK you two.” He boomed.

Alex and Alexis stopped and looked at each other with a smile.

“Where is Jack and why isn’t he supervising you?” Drew asked.

“He’s probably off talking on his cell phone somewhere.” Alexis suggested. She avoided eye contact with her dad.

Alex laughed “Probably.”

“Well let’s get some dinner, I am starving!” Drew said rubbing his hands together to get warm after being outside. He realized his hand was still tender. He flexed it a little. He had spanked Alexis really hard.

Alexis’s bottom was still smarting and so was Alex’s. They would both be sore for a very long time.

“I hope you’re not planning on trying to cook again Drew” Jack said coming from somewhere near the back of the cottage.

“Fine Doc, you be my guest and do the cooking.” Drew said with a sweeping motion of his arm towards the kitchen.

“Don’t mind if I do.” Jack said trailing off to the kitchen. “After all, we deserve to eat something edible tonight.”

Alexis and Alex looked at each other and laughed.

It took some time for Alexis to warm back up to her dad, but after they had dinner, they sat around playing games, talking, laughing, and watching television. It was great that they could still manage to have some fun despite everything.

Saying Goodbye

The four of them slept late the next morning until Jack got up and started cooking them a big breakfast, his specialty, ham and eggs. Drew went into town after breakfast and got the parts he needed to finish fixing the truck. It didn’t take him long to get the truck running after he got back.

They stood around outside getting ready to leave. The day was sunny, even though the air was a little chilly. Drew inhaled the fresh air and looked at Jack. “Well if you have anymore trouble with this beast, you know where to find me.” He motioned towards the truck.

“Yes, I do.” Jack said.

It was uncomfortable for them now.

“How about if we get together in a couple of weeks and have dinner?” Jack suggested.

“I don’t know. I don’t usually hang out with ‘big fancy doctors’” Drew said.

Jack laughed. “Well you can come to my house and eat and consider the meal part of the payment for your time and energy for fixing the truck.”

Drew smiled. “Now you’re talking! I think if you gave me cash instead of dinner though, that might even be better.”

“Hah!” Jack shook his head.

“You know it’s great to see you Jack, you tell me when and where and I will bring Alexis and we can have dinner.” Drew smiled.

Alexis and Alex grinned at each other.

“You got it!” Jack said. “You want to put your Harley in the back of the truck and ride with us back to the city?”

“No, the day is beautiful, I’m gonna take Alexis on a tour of the countryside on our way back to the city.” Drew said.

“Well then, thanks.” Jack said, extending his hand.

Drew shook hands with Jack. “No problem.” Then he looked at Alex. “I am not happy with you helping Alexis do what you both did, but I am willing to give you a second chance.”

Alex smiled. “Thanks.”

“But if it happens again….” Drew eyed him very sternly.

“It won’t.” Alex said.

Drew looked at Alexis. “That goes for you too kiddo.”

She swallowed and looked away. Her dad always had to embarrass her in front of people.

“Alex and Alex” Drew sighed.

“Well we both have good taste in naming our children.” Jack smiled.

Drew laughed. “Yeah I guess that’s true.”

They headed out on the road. Alex and Jack in the truck, and Alexis on the back of Drew’s Harley. Alexis realized as she straddled the seat of the bike that it was going to be a long sore ride. She would be using the foot pegs to ease the pain.

Ultimately Alexis and Alex were sorry for what they had done, but they weren’t sorry they got to spend the weekend together. It would be a memory they would have forever.
