Chapter 26 – A Hard Lesson

Carlisle:

Knocking on his door, I called to him. "Seth, open the door."

Seth slowly walked to the door and turned the handle and opened the door and came face to face with me. He looked terrified as I stood staring at him with my arms crossed. I reached forward and put my hand on his shoulder and ushered him out into the hall and nudging him toward my study.

"Let's go, son," I said as I heard a small whimper escape his lips. Entering my study, I stopped to close the door and then began leading him over to the couch. Arriving at the couch, Seth couldn't contain himself any longer and in a last ditch attempt, tried to avoid the coming punishment he had earned.

"No dad, please…please don't…" Seth implored me.

"Sorry son, but you and I both know you have earned this. Time to learn a hard lesson…" I said putting my hand under his chin and raising his eyes to meet mine.

This is not going to be easy…for either of us…

"Alright young man, since you had such a good thing going and couldn't end it, tell me why you are getting a second spanking tonight and you better not stall around," I said to him.

"I-I forged notes and your signature on your prescription pads to get the four of us out of gym classes so we could ride the dirt bikes," Seth admitted.

"Yes, and I will not tolerate stealing my property or anyone's property nor will I tolerate lying and cutting classes. This is a more serious offense than riding the dirt bikes and I am going to make that known to you through your spanking. I am going to give you a long, hard spanking and you are going to lie over my knee and take it, young man. You will not get up until I allow you to." I informed him.

Seth began to whimper, "Dad, I-I'm sorry…please…I won't do it again…please dad…noooo…"

"Stop it right now young man! You didn't cry or plead when you forged those notes with my name on them, you didn't cry when you cut class and you didn't have any ill-feelings when you were riding those dirt bikes, so don't cry and try to plead your way out of your punishment for your actions, mister!" I said sternly to him.

Reaching under my couch I pulled out my footstool. Seth watched as I put the stool right in front of my left foot. I then turned to him and gave him instructions.

"Pull your pants down young man," I said as I placed my left foot on the footstool. Seth watched and looked at me wondering why I was doing that.

"I-I thought you were going to make me lay over your knee!" Seth said.

"I am, now drop your jeans and come over here to me," I instructed again.

Seth still not understanding unbuttoned his jeans and let them drop to the floor and inched his way toward me. When arriving at my bent knee in front of him, it finally dawned on him how he was going to receive this spanking. He protested immediately.

"Oh no, dad! Please not that way…please dad, please!" Seth begged.

"Yes, like that! No one likes this method and I only use it when I need to teach a long hard lesson. I'm afraid you have put yourself in that position with your forgery and lying." I explained.

Without any further words, I easily picked him up and draped him over my bent left knee. He dangled there not able to touch the ground with his hands or his feet. He was not in a very good position at the moment and he knew it. He had no choice but to accept whatever I gave him.

"Seth, I am going to take my time and deliver a hard spanking one spank at a time until I feel you have learned your lesson. You will not get up until I say you can. You will not try to get up or kick your feet or you will feel it on your upper thighs. You can cry and let it out as much as you want. I would never give you more than you could take, son, so just remember you are safe," I explained.

"Dad, I'm going to fall," Seth said shakily.

"No you won't son. I have a good hold on you. Feel free to grab my leg or foot to steady yourself. I won't let your fall, son," I said assuring him as much as I could.

I adjusted his position to my liking and I grabbed him around the waist with my left hand and pulled him tightly to my body. I had him secured and then pulled his underpants down. He began softly crying and whimpering again.

"Oh no, please dad…" Seth said tearfully.

"Ready son?" I asked. All he did was shake his head yes. I took that as my cue to begin his spanking. Raising my hand I felt him tense again as he waited in nervous anticipation for the first smack. He didn't have to wait long as I landed one, sharp SMACK to his waiting bottom.

"OOUCH!" Seth shouted raising his head and gritting his teeth. I then landed another with the same response. I began applying more and more, increasing the sharpness and he howled with each impact. I spanked at a slow, determined pace as I warmed his bottom up nice and slow making him feel each spank. Seth gritted his teeth and tried not to kick so as not to feel the smacks on his thighs.

"So was it worth it, forging those notes?" I asked as I landed another sharp SMACK on one side and then the other.

"OOWW! OOOWWW! No dad! I-I'm sorry!" Seth yelped.

"You weren't sorry when you handed the notes in to the school," I said reminding him of his treacherous deed as I landed two more hard, sharp SMACKS to each side of his bottom.

"AAAHHH! OOUCH! OOWW! OWW OW!" Seth howled.

"Think you will ever forge notes or my signature again?" I asked as I landed two more hard swats, causing Seth to raise his head and yelp.

"No-oh! OOOWW!" Seth sobbed.

"What about skipping school? Think you might want to forget about attempting that again?" I asked.

"Yes da-ad! I-I won't skip again," Seth promised. I then gave him a hard smack at vampire strength.

"OOOUUCCHH! Dad! That hurts!" Seth squealed.

"Sure does! Let's see if this one hurts too," I said as I brought my stinging hand down again!

"OOWWW! It hurts! It hurts!" Seth yelped.

I then continued landing SMACK after SMACK slowly and methodically delivering the slow, hard spanking I promised him. He was not very happy at the moment as he howled after each stinging swat my hand landed on his ever-reddening bottom. Seth was wiggling with each whack he received.

"So let's discuss your running from me, phasing into a wolf and attempting to make a break for it, young man." I said as I landed 2 very hard vampire strength SMACKS to each side of his bottom.

"OH! OOOWWW! OOWW!" Da-ad Pleeeease!" Seth called to me.

"Don't you EVER run from me again or phase into a wolf when I am disciplining you, young man. If you do, I will wallop your tail right on the spot in wolf form, my little wolf cubbie!" I warned him. I then added a hard SMACK to his sit spots, one to each side!

"OOWW! I-I won't r-run from you! OOWW!" Seth cried.

"One thing I forgot to ask. Who's idea was it to take those dirt bikes? How did you get them?" I asked wanting an explanation. If they took these bikes from Billy's garage without permission…this boy is really going to get it!

"Um…we…uh…we were…um…looking for something fun to do…and we heard a…m-motorcycle on the road…and we thought of…the d-dirt bikes…" Seth explained.

"Whose idea was this?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"Uh…I-I guess…it was m-mine," Seth answered. "Jake told me he and Bella rebuilt them and they were in the garage."

"Whose garage? They are not here in this garage." I asked.

"Um…well…B-Billy's garage, dad," Seth gave up.

"Do you reside at Billy Black's house?" I asked him.

"N-no d-dad," Seth stuttered knowing this was not good.

"So you just took them without permission?" I asked not believing this could get any worse.

"I-I guess…" Seth confessed.

"Seth Cullen! Now you have added stealing to your list of offenses! Where are these dirt bikes?" I asked.

"Charlie had a deputy come and pick them up and take them back to Billy's," Seth explained.

"So you took them without permission and drove them without permission. Did you enjoy yourselves riding them?" I asked sarcastically.

"Y-yes…it w-was fun…I liked riding them, we all did…" Seth offered.

"Well I hope you enjoy the ride I'm about to give you right now, young man!" I said as I raised my hand and brought it down at vampire strength and speed.

"Oh no! Please…no…dad…OOOOWWW!" Seth yelped loudly.

I let him have it and made sure I got every inch of his naughty little wolf bottom and his thighs and sit spots. I landed smack after smack in rapid vampire mode and strength. Seth was all-out crying loudly and kicking madly and throwing his head back and screaming for me to stop. He earned this spanking and he is going to feel it. I cannot believe what these four boys did for the past 2 months and were sneaking around and skipping school. Add to that the forgery of my name on medical excuses! I continued delivering his spanking and stopped to lecture him. He was still sobbing and kicking.

"Seth Cullen! You better never pull a stunt like this again, young man! No riding dirt bikes! No forging medical excuses or my name! No skipping school! No stealing from other people's garages for your thrills! I should take you over to Billy's and spank your butt right in front of him!" I threatened.

"No-oh! No dad! I-I'm s-sorry! I-I won't do it again…" Seth howled.

"You better never do anything like this again, young man, or you are going to feel my belt on your bare behind! Do you understand me?" I asked daring him to disagree.

"Y-yes d-da-ad! Pleeease!" Seth cried.

I finished by landing another round of sharp spanks at regular strength all over his butt and sit spots. He lay spent over my knee sobbing and trying to settle himself down. I then lifted him up, stood him up and pulled his pants up and carried him over to the couch and sat with him in my lap with his bottom hanging in between my legs. I held him close while he cried in my lap. I kissed his forehead and tried to soothe him.

"Okay son, it's over and you are forgiven. We will not go down this path again, will we?" I asked.

Seth just sobbed out a shaky "no".

"Just sit here with me and get yourself calmed down. You did well and now you have been punished. I don't want to ever have to spank you like that again. If you boys need something to occupy your time, I can give you lots to do to keep you out of trouble," I said to him.

Seth just sniveled and held onto me. He was calming down and was just getting his sobbing under control. It was a hard punishment for both of us. However, Seth's behavior and forgery went way beyond the limits of a regular spanking and he needed to learn this type of dangerous and thoughtless behavior would not be tolerated. Unfortunately, he had to learn the hard way. We talked more about his behavior and about taking the bikes from Billy's garage and the forgery. I gave him an in-depth lecture on the problems that could have caused for me as a physician with fake notes on my pads. He certainly got an earful from me and I am hoping I made my point. I walked with him to his room and told him to stay there until his mother called for dinner. Now I had to summon Bella over for her part in not informing me of Seth's skipping school.

I mentally called to Edward and told him to bring Bella over while we still have privacy except for Seth who was in his room licking his wounds. It didn't take long and I heard Edward and Bella coming in the back door. I could hear Bella protesting and bickering with Edward. Typical Bella reaction. I opened my door and stepped out to the landing and looked down the stairs at them.

"Edward, come on! Talk Dad out of spanking me! You're my husband, you're supposed to protect me," Bella pleaded.

"Bella! You should have told Dad about Seth skipping classes. You knew he would eventually find out. He finds out everything and you should know that by now! You have to face dad! Just go and get it over with," Edward advised her.

"Noooooo! Dad's gonna spank me too! I hate it when he spanks me and then he makes me stay over his knee. I hate that…" Bella whined.

"Uh…Bella…" Edward said catching a glimpse of me peering down at them.

"Come on, please talk to him and get me out of this…I was keeping a secret for Seth…ask him not to spank me at least…please…he spanks hard and it hurts…" Bella begged him.

"Uh…Bella, why don't you ask him yourself…" Edward said nudging Bella and telling her to look up towards me.

"What? Are you kidding…me ask him not to…" Bella tried to say but froze when she heard my voice behind her.

"Ask me not do what Bella?" I said as she spun around and saw me.

"Dad! H-how long have you been standing there?" Bella asked.

"Does it matter? Vampire hearing you know, my conniving daughter," I said giving her a piercing stare.

"Great! Thanks Edward for telling me Dad was listening," Bella said knocking him back. She forgot her strength and he flew across the room.

"Hey! Watch it! You can hurt me, remember? Besides, you should know better, you're not getting out of a spanking with dad," Edward said. "I'll wait outside," Edward said and left before Bella could say anymore.

Bella just turned and looked at me resignedly and began climbing the stairs but flashed up the steps forgetting about her vampire abilities. She flashed to right in front of me and looked stunned like she wasn't ready to come up yet. I couldn't help but laugh at her misfortune.

"Yeah, very funny dad! You're enjoying this…I wasn't…I can't believe this…" Bella complained. I couldn't help but laugh at her some more.

"Ha ha! Laugh it up dad! It would work out to your advantage," Bella said with disgust.

"I'm sorry Bella! I don't mean to laugh, but that was funny. You were trying to take your time coming up the stairs and you flashed right to me! You forgot how it works as a vampire, instant travel if you're not careful." I said still chuckling.

"Do you have to enjoy it so much?" Bella said walking to the couch.

"Yes, I do! Now let's get this over with. Over here, Bella," I said as I walked to the spot where my footstool was.

"Why over there…oh no! Aw, come on dad! I hate that way…ugh…noooooo!" Bella whined.

I put my foot on the stool and called to her, "Come on, Flash Gordon, right here, over you go," I said patting my thigh. Bella reluctantly came over and began unbuttoning her jeans. "No, keep your pants up. This is just to remind you to tell your mother and I when you know something we should be told and not to keep it from us. Come on, hop on over!" Bella did as I said and I landed a dozen sharp hard swats to her bottom. She yelped and kicked but it was over quickly and I helped her down.

"You mean I don't have to lay over your lap again?" Bella asked.

"No, not this time. Unless you want to?" I offered.

"Uh…no dad…that's okay," Bella said backing away. "Can I go now?"

"Sure, don't do that again, young lady!" I warned her.

"I won't Chuckles!" Bella said grinning as she turned to leave the study.

"Oh now you did it," I said walking toward her. She quickly flashed down the stairs laughing and went outside to catch up with Edward.

Not too long after that the others came home. Esme brought pizzas for Jake, Leah and Seth but first went to Seth's room to attend to her wolf cub. For the moment, all was right in the Cullen home…for how long…I don't want to think about that…
