It was Independence Day when I got a phone message from my Aunt Peg. When I heard her whiny voice, I knew she wasn't wishing me a happy fourth or inviting me over for a cookout. She seemed to call only when she needed something. I wish that included something provocative, since she looked and dressed sort of like Peg Bundy, and that would have fulfilled a couple of long-standing fantasies of mine. But usually it was just some sort of household repair or baby-sitting duty. She was a single mom, and I knew what that was like. So, as much as I didn't want to, I returned the call.
And then, next morning, sporting my fifth of July hangover, I made the two-hour trip, plumbing tools in tow.
The plumbing problem was easy to fix, just a hairball in the bathroom drain. My aunt offered me a much needed cup of Joe, so we went back to the kitchen. I walked behind her, admiring her black stretch pants and her way-too-high-to-be-sauntering-around-the-house-in high heels. Yeah, it was a strange feeling to be lusting after one's Aunt. But I'm not even sure if we we're still related. My dad's been married four times, and I've lost track of who's who on his side of the family. I keep hoping that one day she'll invite me over and offer to clean out MY pipe.
After some small talk, she started on about her kids. Being a 30-year-old single male, I tend to stop listening when people talk about their kids. I try not to be rude, but I don't really care how many goals Adam scored in his soccer game. I was too busy sipping my coffee and enjoying her sweater-covered assets to hear much, although my ears perked up when she brought up her oldest daughter, Leanne, who had just graduated from high school, and who'd been giving her fits, lately, even being brought home by the police.
"Will you go next door and help me out…? I'm desperate." She finished by placing her hand on my knee, her face inches from mine, her perfume tickling my senses.
My mind started screaming, "Desperate women do desperate things." I nodded my head and puckered my lips. Next thing I know I'm being pushed out the front door.
"Thanks," she said, as she shut the door behind me.
"What the fuck!" I muttered, shaking my head. I thought, "That never happens to my alter ego, Deputy Duffy."
I stood in front of the next-door neighbor's house for several minutes. I was still trying to regain my composure. I knew the girl that lived there and my cousin are best friends, and then I remembered that I had been there once a couple of years ago, to change the locks after the lady of the house threw her husband out, but for the life of me I couldn't think of her first name. The door suddenly opened, and she waved me in.
"Ah, hi there Mrs. Parker," I managed, with a wave, at least remembering her simple last name.
"Come in, Steve, I've been waiting for yah," she said, with a smile. "Nice to see yah again."
"Yeah, been a while," I said, feeling awkward as hell, as I entered her house.
Mrs. Parker had she'd lost a few pounds since I last saw her, but, in a simple summer dress, she still looked like the proverbial housewife. She led me into the kitchen, where I saw Leanne sitting at the table.
"Hey, Steven...,what are you doing here?" Leanne said, with a scrunched face.
"I-I-I," I, ah, stammered. I still didn't really know that either. I just stalled while she stared at me.
"Well, why don't we go into the living room," Mrs. Parker said, ending my desperate mumbling.
I walked into the living room, and Mrs. Parker told me to have a seat. I settled into an old fashion wooden rocking chair, while Mrs. Parker took a seat on her couch, just off to my left. With a snap of her fingers, she had Leanne standing in front of her, her left profile toward me. Leanne was a cute brunette with "girl next door" qualities. She was dressed simply in blue jeans, a small white top (that she filled out well), and a pair of black, high-heeled boots. She had blossomed quite nicely in the couple of years since I'd seen her last. Little did I know I was about to find out just how much.
"Now that we are in position, are you ready to begin your punishment?" Mrs. Parker asked.
I found myself rocking steadily back and forth. I don't know if it was nerves or just the simple fact that it was a long time since I'd sat in a rocking chair, and it was kind of fun. Leanne looked down at the floor and nodded her head.
"Ok, then, let's get started," Mrs. Parker said. She leaned back, crossed her legs, and said a simple word: "Strip."
"What?" Leanne screeched. My rocking came to a sudden stop, as I was asking myself the same thing.
"You have a hearing problem?" Mrs. Parker snapped.
"You can't be serious!"
"I am."
"No way.... I'm 18 -- almost 19 -- I ain't no baby."
I started rocking again, and I'm pretty sure my rocking was from nerves now.
"You agreed to be punished by me, for your sins, while your mother punished Hillary, and already you're balking at my first command!" Mrs. Parker barked.
"B-b-but I…ah…didn't think.... I mean, I'm a woman now."
"I thought you knew this was going to be a bare bottom spanking. After all, your mother had no problem stripping Hillary to the skin and giving her a good one."
"B-b-but that was dif…. Nu-uh, she would've told me.... And what about him?" Leanne (seemingly flustered) said, pointing, but never looking my way.
"He will help me with the spanking, 'cause I have bad wrists…arthritis."
"He's going to spank me?" Leanne squealed.
My rocking stopped. I, too, waited for the answer.
"Yeah, that's why your mother called him. She knew it would be extra embarrassing for yah, and it might just teach you a lesson this time. Now, no more arguing; get going."
I was shocked, but at least I knew why I was there now -- mostly for embarrassment purposes. Still, my heart was racing. I don't really have a spanking fetish, but I was already picturing her stripped naked, cousin or not.
"I can't believe this," Leanne said, as she pulled off her left boot. "Unbelievable," followed the right one. "But I'm only taking these off," she stated, while wiggling out off her tight blue jeans. It was a struggle, but they were finally wrapped around her ankles. With a kick, they slid across the hardwood floor.
"But, I don't have to take this off,” she said with a snap of her waistband. “Because it's a thong."
Yes, it was...a nice black one. I still couldn't see much, but I knew it was only a matter of time. I chuckled inside, feeling like a dirty old man and noticing that I was instinctively rubbing my palms together.
"Let's get this over with," Leanne sighed.
"Well, who died and left you boss?" Mrs. Parker hissed, and then she crossed her arms. "I said, 'strip, girl.' Now get going, and don't stop until you're in your birthday suit."
I cheered inside.
"Are you insane?" Leanne quickly cried out, as if she finally realized Mrs. Parker's intentions. She looked at me, and then she added, huffily, "Yeah, like that's happening."
