Abbie sat on the couch in her apartment waiting for her girlfriend Claire to get home from work. Abbie had the day off today, but instead of relaxing, she had been overwhelmed with guilt. She thought back to 2 nights ago...

"Claire!" Abbie whined, "I'm an adult! If I want to go clubbing then that's what I'm going to do!" Claire silently raised an eyebrow, then took Abbie by the upper arm and gave 2 sharp smacks to the seat of her girlfriend's yoga pants. Abbie gasped, but knew better than to try and wriggle away. As she rubbed the sting from her bottom, Claire spoke. "Young lady you can drop that petulant tone. There have been 2 rapes and 3 murders at that club in the last six weeks. You can find somewhere else to enjoy music and alcohol that won't put your life in danger. Is that understood?" Still irritable but knowing she wasn't in any position to argue, Abbie simply answered "yes ma'am." That night after Claire left to go upstate for an emergency hearing, Abbie phoned up her friend Serena and together, they went to the club.

As Abbie sat and fidgeted with the corner of the throw, she heard the unmistakable click of Claire's key in the lock, and her stomach dropped as the gorgeous brunette entered their apartment. "Hey babe!" Claire greeted Abbie as she made her way to the couch, kissing her girlfriend as she sat. Claire looked at Abbie, and seeing the guilt in her girlfriend's eyes, asked "what's wrong, honey? Is everything ok?" Tears threatened to spill from Abbie's eyes as she struggle to look Claire in they eye. "No ma'am, everything isn't ok. I disobeyed you." Claire looked surprised but kept an even tone as she asked "I'm sorry to hear that honey, what did you do?" "Erm, well, remember the other night when you told me I wasn't allowed to go to that club?" Claire's face clouded as the realization of what Abbie was confessing hit her. "Yes I do." She answered simply, waiting for Abbie to continue. After a beat, Abbie said "well...I really wanted to go so after you had to go upstate, I called Serena and we went together. I'm really sorry, Claire." Claire looked at her penitent young girlfriend. On the one hand, she was furious that Abbie had deliberately defied her and gone to the club. On the other, she was proud of Abbie for coming clean about her mistake, knowing that it would cost her a sore bottom.

"Abbie, I'm very disappointed in you for disobeying me. I didn't forbid you from going to the club because I didn't want you to have fun. I was genuinely concerned for your safety." Tears rolled silently down Abbie's face as she accepted her scolding. "However," Claire continued, "I am so proud of you for choosing to tell me honestly what you did. I know it wasn't easy." Abbie felt a little pride hearing this. "I'm going to spank you for your disobedience, however, since you came clean about it on your own, I won't be washing your mouth out with soap." Abbie grimaced at the thought and gratefully responded "thank you, ma'am. I really am sorry." "I know darling," Claire replied. "Now hop up and go wait for me in the bedroom."

Since Abbie hadn't been instructed to stand in the corner, she sat on the bed nervously awaiting her fate. After a few minutes, Claire entered the room. She walked over to the closet, and after a moment, emerged holding a large wooden paddle. Abbie blanched slightly at the sight of the paddle but accepted that she deserved it. Without being told, Abbie stood up, turned toward the bed, and draped herself across it. Noting her obedience, Claire crossed the room and stood next to her. "Good girl," Claire praised. "Since you were honest with me and you are cooperating with your punishment, I think fifty licks will be enough." Abbie, both grateful and fearful of the number Claire just prescribed responded with a quiet "thank you, ma'am."

Without any further discussion, Claire took a step back, raised the paddle, and brought it down on the seat of Abbie's jeans with a sharp *WHAP*. Abbie flinched but didn't break her position. 25 licks rained down in quick succession as Abbie fought to lay obediently in place, determined to show Claire she had learned her lesson. "Stand up." Instructed Claire. Confused, Abbie stood, then broke into gentle sobs as she realized what Claire wanted. Wordlessly, Claire reached over and undid the button on Abbie's jeans, followed by the zipper. Gently, Claire pulled the jeans down to Abbie's ankles, followed shortly by her underwear. Once again, without being told, Abbie draped herself back across the bed, bracing herself for the next blow.

WHAP* *SPLAT* *SMACK*

The next 25 blows rained down steadily as Claire scolded. "Abigail, I will not have you putting your life in jeopardy for drinks and dancing - or any reason for that matter - ever again. You're old enough to understand that when I say "no," I mean it! If I ever have to spank you for this again, you won't sit comfortably for a week! Do you understand?" Sobbing openly, Abbie replied "y-y-ye-yes m-m-ma'am! I'm s-s-so s-s-so-sorry!"

Claire brought the paddle down hard and fast in Abbie's sit-spots 10 times, and then tossed the paddle aside. Sitting next to her contrite girlfriend, Claire gently rubbed Abbie's heaving back as she waited for Abbie to calm down. After several minutes, Abbie's breathing steadied. Claire gently helped Abbie remove her jeans and panties, and then arranged the two of them on the bed so they were leaning against the headboard. Still crying quietly, Abbie gratefully leaned into the embrace of her strong girlfriend. After a few moments, she spoke. "Claire, I really am sorry I defied you. Thank you for loving me enough to...well...to correct me." Claire smiled amusedly at Abbie's aversion to the word "spank" as she tenderly kissed her lover's temple. "You were a very good girl, and accepted your correction obediently. I'm proud of you, and I will always love you." Beaming at this praise, Abbie snuggled close to Claire and before long, drifted off to sleep. Gently extricating herself from her girlfriend's embrace, Claire slipped out of bed, changed into some casual clothes, and wandered off to the kitchen to cook Abbie's favourite dinner. After all, even petulant girlfriends deserved to be a little spoiled!
