There was only one thought running through Olivia's mind when she knocked on Liz Donnelly's door, and it was that they couldn't go an entire month without their ADA. So when Liz barked out, "Come in," Liv forgot to be intimidated. Pushing all feelings aside except for one, she went inside.

"What is it, Benson?" growled Liz, clearly unimpressed at the intrusion.

Olivia took a deep breath. "I have a favour to ask you."

"What?"

"Would you consider rethinking Alex's suspension?"

Liz raised an eyebrow. "Now why would you even ask? She did something wrong and she was punished, as I'm sure she'll tell you when you return home."

Olivia blushed. Alex had told her all about the spanking that had accompanied her suspension, and it hadn't been pretty. But still, she had to try. "I know, but we need her. Please, Liz. Think about it."

"You can use Carmichael if you need an ADA. She's going to be suspended for one month. End of story. Goodbye," snapped Liz.

Olivia stamped her foot childishly, her voice raising an octave. "We need Alex!"

Liz pointed to the door. "I'm going to count to three. One, two, three."

Liv was still standing there, stubbornly rooted to the spot, and Liz sighed. "Come here, Olivia," she ordered, quietly, but in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Olivia's heart was pounding in her chest as she stepped forward with trepidation. She forced herself to Liz's side, then waited expectantly.

"I asked you to leave, and you disobeyed me. Now you're going to be punished."

"You can't punish me!" cried Olivia indignantly. "I'm –" But then she didn't really know what to say. Why shouldn't Liz punish her? Except that she didn't want it. And she'd really done nothing wrong.

Liz waved her hand dismissively. "Go get my hairbrush. I'm sure Alex told you where it is."

Liv couldn't quite catch her breath as she mutely shook her head. She couldn't!

Liz sighed. "Your girlfriend was much more cooperative, Olivia. Would you like to stand in the corner for a while first?"

Olivia shook her head and immediately fetched the hairbrush. She didn't know exactly why, because she so clearly did not deserve the spanking she knew was coming, but she really didn't want to have to stand in the corner. Silently, she handed Liz the hairbrush.

"Now take off your pants," ordered Liz.

Liv gasped. "No!"

Liz grabbed the detective by the arm and with more strength than Olivia would have expected, guided her toward the corner. "You will stay there until you are ready to follow my instructions."

Liv almost stamped her foot in indignation. This was not right. She hadn't done anything wrong, so Liz shouldn't be punishing her. Especially with her pants down! She wasn't a child; she was a grownup, and a detective at that.

But then she assumed that Alex had been punished with her pants down too, so she felt slightly better.

She stood in the corner for what seemed like an eternity before Liz asked calmly, "Are you ready to do as you're told?"

She wasn't, but she also didn't think she could bear to stand in that hateful corner for one more minute, so she nodded.

"Very good," said Liz. "Now, pants down."

Seething, Liv clenched her teeth and did as she was told.

"Now hand them to me," ordered the EADA.

Again, Olivia wondered why she was allowing this. But inexplicably, she did as she was told. Feeling all too exposed in front of Liz, she folded her hands behind her back and waited.

"Panties down, too," said Liz.

Olivia stifled another gasp and shook her head. She absolutely was not going to take her underwear down for Liz.

The attorney sighed. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Olivia," she snapped. "What'll it be?"

Liv tried to pull down her panties, she really did, but her hands just wouldn't move.

Liz sighed again and stepped forward. She grabbed the waistband and pulled down Olivia's underwear herself. "Now step out of them."

Feeling even more vulnerable than she had a moment before, Liv obeyed.

The EADA smirked. "Now get over my lap."

Blushing, Liv bent herself over Liz's lap, supporting herself with both hands. She wished she could sink into the floor. Or die. Or something.

But her embarrassment at being bent over Liz's lap like a child was the least of her worries when the attorney started laying into her. Olivia had been spanked before, but never before had it been this painful. By the fourth smack, her backside felt like it was on fire, and she was clenching her fists and biting down hard on her bottom lip so she wouldn't cry out.

Liz wasn't showing any sign of letting up soon. She continued to bring that dreadful hairbrush down hard on Olivia's bottom, occasionally straying down to redden her thighs. Soon, the detective's backside had turned a dark crimson, and holding it in was no longer an option. Silent tears streaked down Liv's cheeks, and she cried out intermittently at the smacks that rained down on her exposed bottom.

Finally, Liz asked, "Do I have your attention?"

Oh, God, Liz wanted her to answer. "Yes," Olivia managed to choke out.

"Very good." The EADA continued to aim her blows to the most sensitive spot of Olivia's backside and the detective whimpered. "Are you going to disobey me again?"

"No!" cried Liv. "No, no, no. I'm sorry."

Liz gave her bottom a few final smacks, then ordered, "Now get up. Face me."

Olivia was in too much pain to even be aware of her state of undress, much less than care. She pushed herself onto shaky legs and put her hands on her head so she wouldn't be tempted to rub her burning backside.

Liz raised an eyebrow. "You tell Alex she's still suspended, but I have to admire your audacity." She smirked at the look on Liv's face, then handed her back her pants and panties.

Liv grabbed her clothes and hightailed it out of there. She didn't think she'd ever be able to look Liz in the eye again. And she needed to see Alex.

This is going to have two parts. What will happen when Olivia gets home to see Alex? Review to find out!
