Mary Johnson was standing in the kitchen listening to the chorus of female voices singing “Happy Birthday” in the living room. It was her daughter Zoe’s eighteenth birthday, and she had invited her closest friends to a small party.
At the end of her song, Sheila Page spoke up. Sheila was a relatively recent addition to the group – she had only started in their class a little over a year ago, but she had quickly become friends with the other girls. Mrs. Johnson had often been impressed with the intelligent, observant and compassionate girl.
“Now, Zoe has gotten her cake, her presents, and her song,” Sheila said, rubbing her palms together. “There’s just one thing left to give her.”
“Oh no,” Zoe said as dramatically as she could, burying her face in her hands as the other girls started chanting, “The spanking! The spanking!”
Mrs. Johnson stared wide-eyed, a blush beginning to tinge her cheeks. What was going on?
“That’s right, it’s time for the birthday spanking,” Sheila said as she patted her jean-clad lap. “Over my knee, birthday girl.”
Making some half-hearted protests, Zoe rose to her feet and made her way over to Sheila. “This is so humiliating,” she giggled as she laid across Sheila’s lap.
“All the other girls in the group have been over my lap on their birthday, Zoe,” Sheila said as she began to rub the seat of the girl’s jeans. “You didn’t protest then.”
In the kitchen, Mrs. Johnson had to grip the side of a table to keep herself upright. There was just something about hearing the word ‘spanking’ that seemed to make her knees weak, especially so many times in a row. She stared wide-eyed into the living room as Sheila lifted her hand and smacked it down hard on her daughter’s backside.
“Ouch! One,” Zoe squealed, followed by a hissed “Two” and “Three” as Sheila’s hand continued to land.
The others giggled loudly as Zoe squirmed around on Sheila’s lap. None of the girls displayed much sympathy. But no matter how much she wriggled her rear end, she could not escape Sheila’s stinging hand.
As Sheila continued to spank Zoe’s bottom vigorously, she looked up and met Mrs. Johnson’s gaze. The older woman blushed, turning her gaze away – Sheila’s eyes always seemed to see more than the obvious. She did not want her to read her mind right now.
In the living room, the spanking was nearing its end. Zoe called out “Seventeen!” and “Eighteen!” as Sheila’s hand landed on her now-blazing rump, and she breathed a sigh of relief – followed by a yelp as Sheila delivered one last stinging smack.
“And one to grow on,” Sheila said. She began to rub the sting from Zoe’s butt, her eyes once again locking with Mrs. Johnson’s.
