I awakened to singing coming from the shower. It was Sunday, and my first opportunity to sleep in. I sat up thinking about the spanking I gave to Brandi yesterday and feeling guilty. I shouldn't have done it. I should have taken her phone. What's more, I couldn't get those polka dot panties out of my head. Here I am—a 37-year-old man—spanking an 18-year-old girl. I thought about that Woody Allen movie Manhattan in which his girlfriend was 17 and he was 42.
But Brandi is my light blonde stepdaughter with a cute little turned up nose who just turned 18 two weeks ago. She's been more my pal as I never quite established a father-daughter relationship with her. She calls me Sam or Samuel, but not Dad. Nevertheless, she sometimes needs parental discipline. Her father left a long time ago and has had no contact with Brandi in more than 10 years.
What if she told her mother of the punishment I imposed for staying out late?
I heard Brandi come out of the bathroom and walk toward her bedroom.
"Brandi?" I called.
"Yes?"
"Can I talk to you after you get dressed?"
"Uhmm, yeah. Give me a few minutes."
"Okay."
I got up and slid on my jeans and went to the bathroom to pee.
When I returned, Brandi came in with her hair up in a ponytail and looking down at her phone texting furiously. She wore her now familiar tight jeans and t-shirt.
"Brandi."
"Hold on. Let me just finish this text."
She looked up at me without saying anything.
"I'm sorry about last night."
"Don't be. It's over. Can I go now?"
"Wait. I just wanted to talk to you and tell you that if there's a consequence needed next time, it's gonna have to be the phone. Okay?"
"Sam. It's okay. I'm not mad."
I didn't say anything. She started texting again.
"Does it still hurt?"
"What?"
"You know. Your butt."
"Oh. No. Well, maybe a little."
"I don't think we should tell your Mom about this."
"Okay."
"No. Brandi. I'm serious."
"Trust me, I wasn't going to."
"K. Thanks."
"Can I have 20 dollars to go to the mall?"
"20? What? What for?"
"There's this really cute top I want to get at Hollister. Please, Sam?" She came over to me like she always does when she wants something, wrapping her arms around me and hugging me, pressing her firm tits against my chest. "Pretty please?" she whispered in my ear. "I promise I'll be a good girl for you."
She probably knew I felt guilty about spanking her. And she knew that I didn't want this getting back to her mother.
"My wallet's down stairs."
"You're the best! Thank you, Sam!" and she kissed me on the cheek and ran down the stairs.
"When are you coming home?"
"I don't know. Bye." She yelled as she headed out the door.
