A Spanking Carol
Chapter 6
The next day, William was waiting outside Alice's office once again. He was standing up instead of sitting on the bench. Alice had seen him on her way into her office. Now that she was seated at her desk, she pressed the button on her desk intercom to ask Nadia to bring William in.
When William entered alongside Nadia, his eyes immediately darted to Alice's desk where the paddle was usually located. It wasn't there. "Let's talk before we get to the paddling," said Alice. "I want you to explain to me why you were in trouble yesterday."
"Mrs. Hurston thinks I'm being disrespectful towards her," said William. "But it's not intentional."
"In what way did she claim you were being disrespectful?" asked Alice.
"She said it's my tone," replied William. "This is just how my voice is though."
Alice considered his words. "Hmm… in speaking with you now, I can see where Mrs. Hurston is coming from. Your tone does come across as disrespectful. But when you say it's unintentional, I actually believe you. Maybe we can work on your communication skills so this misunderstanding doesn't keep happening."
William looked stunned. He certainly wasn't expecting Alice to be so understanding. "This is honestly how I should have handled this matter yesterday," said Alice. "But I just took Mrs. Hurston's complaint at face value instead of trying to understand you. For that, I'm sorry."
"It's OK, Ms. Sinclair," said William. Alice shook her head. "No, it's really not. If students are struggling, it's my responsibility to make sure they get the help they need to succeed. I believed I was helping students by being so strict. That should have been a means to an end, but it somehow became an end unto itself. I can't un-spank you, but I promise to do better in the future. I can also talk to your mother if you would like and explain the misunderstanding to her."
"Yes, I would like that very much," said William. "She wasn't happy with me last night."
Alice nodded. "Of course. I will call her today. You are dismissed now. Please let me know if you need anything."
Once William was gone, Alice looked at Nadia. "You've watched me paddle students many times by now. How familiar do you think you are with the technique involved?"
Nadia shrugged. "I would say I understand it fairly well."
Alice nodded. "I'm going to start training you to give paddlings to students."
Nadia's jaw dropped. "Me? Are you sure? But why?"
Alice smiled. "You've seen me do it enough, and I think you have the right temperament for this. I strongly believe in spanking as a punishment, and I will continue to advocate for its use. However, the problem is that I enjoy paddling students, and I'm not supposed to enjoy it. That's why I'm going to have you start doing it instead soon."
"Well, OK," said Nadia. "I can do that."
"I'm glad to hear it," said Alice. "I know I can count on you."
After school that day, Alice decided to pay a visit to Coach Dave Springer. His office was located upstairs in the gym, overlooking the basketball court. "Well this is a surprise," said Coach Springer as Alice entered. "What can I do for…"
He trailed off when he saw the paddle in Alice's hands. "I wanted to talk to you about something, Dave," she said as she sat down in front of his desk. She placed the paddle on his desk. "I understand that before I took over handling all corporal punishment for the school, you used to paddle students here fairly regularly."
Dave nodded. "That's right."
"You had a reputation for paddling really hard," said Alice. "Students were more afraid of being paddled by you than by any other teacher, right?"
Dave smiled. "They sure were! I know how to light a butt up!"
"It sounds like you enjoyed it," said Alice.
Dave shifted uncomfortably. "It's OK," said Alice. "I'll admit that I enjoy it very much too. It's actually my favorite part of the job. I'm realizing now how wrong that is, but there's no point in denying that I love paddling students. So I would imagine that you felt quite upset when you could no longer do that because I took over that responsibility. Am I right?"
Dave nodded. Alice smiled. "Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. I'll start with the bad news first. Because you also enjoy paddling students, I will never allow you to actually do so ever again. For that matter, after I train my replacement, I won't either."
"So what's the good news?" asked Dave.
This time, it was Alice's turn to look uncomfortable. "The good news is that you will be allowed to paddle somebody. You see, I feel really guilty about the way I have been behaving. I have always told students that wrongdoing must be punished, and I need to hold myself to that same standard as well. So I want you to paddle me."
Dave's eyes widened. "Me? But aren't you training someone else to handle paddlings? Why not just ask that person?"
"Because she's not sadistic enough to give me what I truly deserve," replied Alice. "You enjoy paddling, and you're upset with me for taking that away from you. I'm giving you the opportunity to make me feel your displeasure. And don't worry about me being your boss. That doesn't matter in this context."
"Well if you're sure you are OK with it, then I will do it," said Dave. "Just don't get upset with me when it hurts. Is this just a one-time thing or…"
Alice thought for a moment. "I do have a lot of unjust paddlings to pay for, so let's make it an on-demand thing for now. Just send me calendar invites via email whenever you want to do this. Just keep the condition of my butt in mind. I will need time to recover."
"How will I know the condition of your butt?" asked Dave.
Alice smiled. "Visually, of course. You may not be aware of this, but when I took over the task of paddling students, I always did it bare butt. I assume that won't be an issue for you."
Dave shook his head. "Not an issue at all!"
Alice chuckled. She reached under her skirt and pulled down her panties. She flipped her skirt up and bent over Coach Springer's desk. "I'm ready. Punish me hard."
