"Dawson grab another crate will you!" Hermann shouts across the stock room.
"On it" she yells back. Crouching down to pick up the crate the soft material of her loose pants brushed against her freshly spanked ass, she inhaled deeply.
"Alright there kid?" Said Hermann noticing her sound and pained looking face. "Surely it's not that bad, how many did he give you" he asked, referring to the spanking they all know she got at 51 the night previously and knowing that the penalty was usually about 15/20 strokes for smart mouth comments, towards, about or to their Lieutenant.
"Yea I got 15 good ones Hermann, but I had a rough morning."
Hermann looked at her confused, "if you only got 15 why are you so sore, and who gave you a rough morning" he raised his eyebrows at her.
Uh oh she thought busted! How was she getting out of this, they all knew she hadn't moved on yet, and all knew that the only person she'd trust to be her Dom was Casey, so no one else would have given her a rough morning.
"Well?" He said
"Hermann listen please don't ask. I can't say anyth..."
"Gabriela Dawson, I have told you before your like a daughter to me so either you tell me now or I will take you over my knee and by the way your walking and hissing I'd say that is not something you want right now." He stared at her "well are you going to tell me or do we have to do this the hard way", Gabby stood cross armed, she wasn't going to say anything. No way she wasn't going to risk them both losing their jobs.
"Gabby I'm going to count to three and if you haven't told me you will be getting a spanking" he looked at her "very well one, two, thr..."
Gabby opened her mouth to reply to late and before she knew it she was upturned across Hermanns lap and her pants were down by her ankles. Shit she thought, now he's definitely going to know. "Gabriela, is this Matt's handy work?" He said shocked at the sight of her very bruised bottom.
"Yes" she barely whispered.
"Damn girl what on earth did you do? And why on earth is he still taking you in hand?"
"We're engaged" she whispered
"Pardon"
"We're, we're engaged. Have been for a couple of weeks."
Hermann laid three quick slaps on her ass, she yelped and jumped at the pain that shot across her body. "They are for lying to me" SMACK SMACK SMACK "and those are for making me spank you" he righted her and let her pull her pants up. Before he patted his lap. "Sit, why didn't you say?"
Gabby explained that it needed to be kept secret for now, at least until she'd proved herself on truck and then they were planning on coming clean. She explained what had happened that day to earn her the extremely sore bottom she now had and how she'd fought him and ended up with extra.
"I think it's better if I close up today kid, you head home and tell Casey I'll talk to him next shift. But don't worry your secret is safe with me."
Gabby unlocked the front door and walked in, she could hear the tv going but no movement came from the figure lying on the couch. "Matt" she shook him gently "Matt I'm home baby", Matt looked up at her sleepily "what time is it?" He asked.
"Early Hermann busted me, he sent me home"
"Wait what! You mean he knows?" Matt said suddenly wide awake and sitting up "he knows, is going to bust us?"
"No he said our secret is safe with him but he'll talk to you next shift. Matt he saw my ass!"
"What! Why? How?"
"I was lifting a crate and my pants rubbed my bottom, it hurt like hell and it must have shown because he asked what was wrong, and how many I'd got at the station. He put two and two together."
"You could have lied" snapped Matt
"I couldn't he spanked me"
Matt saw red and jumped up, it was one thing Hermann making her scrub the showers but spanking her, no that was not ok.
"Matt calm down I'm fine, please baby sit down it was literally six swats." Matt didn't sit down he looked at her in disbelief.
"Gabby he spanked you even after he saw your ass, that's not ok. You've taken enough these past 48 hours and plus you aren't his girl" Matt spat, "if I spanked Cindy do you think he'd just sit by and let it happen?" He headed towards the door, Gabby was after him like a dart.
"Sweetie please, it's fine, I'm fine. Just leave it please, plus I'm exhausted and he let me off early so let's make the most of it." She winked at him and put her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly. She didn't let go until she felt him relax slightly, then she took him by the hand into the bedroom where they spent the night making love to each other, then finally spent and exhausted they lay in each other's arms and fell asleep.
"Hey Lieutenant can I have a quick word please" Hermann had just entered the firehouse for his shift, and spotted Casey walking out of the Chiefs office.
"Yea Hermann just give me five please ok?"
"No worries Lieutenant" he followed Matt through the common room and went to sit in his usual spot. Matt nodded at Gabby as he walked past.
"Candidate can I have a word in my office?"
A hum of "ooo's" went round the room, along with the occasional "what she done this time Lieutenant?"
Gabby rolled her eyes at the guys and followed him into his office. Closing the door behind them he turned to face her, "well he wasn't happy but at least it's out there, he has suggested that Hermann takes you on his hip as to not complicate things" Matt didn't looked too convinced. "What do you think?"
Gabby thought for a moment "I mean Hermann is great Lieutenant, and it's not like he hasn't taken me in hand before so we know he's up to the job! Would he be taking on full Lieutenant duties for me, or just on calls?" She asked.
"I think full Lieutenant duties unless you actually need to be sent to me and then I'll step in, but that'd would only be if you mess up big time. I'll only allow it if your comfortable?"
Gabby thought for another moment. "Yes I think it's a good idea, do you think he'll go for it?"
Matt nodded towards the door "we're about to find out."
He waved Hermann into the room.
"Lieutenant, Dawson. Everything good?"
"I spoke to Boden this morning when I got in Hermann, I told him all about Gabby and I. He isn't happy that we lied but has agreed she can stay as candidate here at 51 as he believes it's the best fit for her. However we have agreed that it is best she isn't reporting to me on shift and call outs. You have your Lieutenant qualification therefore we are purposing you take her on your hip, and become her next in command. If it's ok with you?" Matt watched Hermann look from Gabby to him and back again.
"Your ok with that candidate?" He asked
Gabby nodded "yup, sure am."
"And this would entail just teaching her the ropes, or would I be expected to take her in hand?"
Matt looked at Gabby for reassurance, "from what I hear Hermann you have no issue with that if you did" he stared at the older man. Hermann wasn't sure if he was annoyed or not.
"Erm, well, err, yes there is that."
"Well then will you take me on or not?" Gabby interjected.
"As long as you two are ok with it then yes." Both smiled at him in agreement. "Candidate will you please leave us I need to speak with the Lieutenant quickly." Said Hermann.
Gabby ducked out and headed towards the kitchen, Shay intercepted her half way down the hall.
"Hey, you ok?" Shay asked.
"Yup all good, just busy staying out of trouble." Joked Dawson giving her best friends shoulder a gentle push.
"I hear your Lieutenant has already had to deal with your mouth?" Shay teased.
"Yup bad girl me" she replied.
"How bad was it?"
"Only 15 nothing too bad." Dawson winked at her, "well at work anyway."
Shay looked slightly confused, "what he brought it home and Spanked you again?"
"Kinda, I didn't get spanked but teased my god! I don't know what's worse the sore ass and everyone in house knowing or the pleading to let me cum." A smirk spread across her face as she remembered how he'd teased her. "It was yesterday morning I got spanked, my ass, its still ablaze now, hopefully we don't get too many calls today because it hurts to sit."
"Jezz Gabby whatcha do to get two spankings in such a short time, that's got to be a new record?"
"Yep I think it is, and definitely not one I'm going to try and do again" she pulled Shay into the restroom and pushed her pants down, "look" she said bending over the sink.
"Ouch Gabby that's one hell of a spanking."
Shay was very aware of the relationship Gabby and Matt had, she'd heard a few punishments being handed out when she crashed with them a few times and this was definitely not the worst she'd ever seen her best friends butt, but there were patches of purple, blue and black all over her butt and thighs, it had to be painful.
"So come on whatcha do" Shay asked again.
Dawson started to explain the whole thing when suddenly the sirens rang and the voice rang out truck 81, ambulance 61 and squad 3 truck collision
"Sorry Shay your going to have to wait on the details" Gabby said as she shimmed her pants back up and ran out to climb into truck. As she sat down, a small whimper escaped her lips.
"You ok candidate?" Lieutenant Casey asked
"Yup all good Lieutenant" she replied.
The guys watched her fidget all the way to the scene, and shared knowing glances that she was obviously sitting on a spanked bottom. As far as they knew though she'd received it in the office this morning, for a mistake none of them could work out. Only three people on truck knew the truth.
When they arrived at scene everyone jumped out ready to get to work. "Everybody stop!" Shouted Severide "that's a chemical spill."
"Ok everyone I want a two mile radius perimeter around the area, sandbags out and no one is to go beyond this point without safety gear on. Understood?" Shouted Casey.
"Yes Lieutenant" they all replied while rushing to do as he had ordered.
Casey spoke into his radio. "This is Lieutenant Casey with truck 81 requesting a hassmat team to our current location, chemical spill of unknown in progress" he looked up just as a truck driven by Dawson drove past him and spread sand around the area. He stood mouth open in shock of what he was witnessing, she had no protective gear, and was knowingly breaking orders. She drove back towards the rest of the crew and jumped out with a big smile.
"Guy gave me a quick lesson in how to release the back, area is secure" she said proudly. Casey and the rest of the team stared at her.
"Dawson" shouted Hermann, "I'll see you back at the house."
Casey shook his head at her as he walked away and looked at Hermann in agreement that she definitely deserved what was coming next.
Back at 51 Chief Boden called Casey into his office.
"Please explain to me why your candidate thought it appropriate to completely ignore protocol and orders and drive straight into a hot zone of an unknown chemical?" He demanded.
"Sir I don't know, we have agreed that Hermann be her acting Lieutenant on shift and neither of us gave the go ahead for her to do so. Hermann is dealing with it right now in my office. I can assure you she won't be doing it again after we've finished with her." Casey replied, he was fully aware that this type of infraction could potentially lose her, her job if she did it again. And by dealing with it in house was the best course of action. Chief Boden nodded in agreement.
"Send her to me when you've finished with her I think I need to have a good chat with her too."
Casey knew all too well what that meant, she was definitely going to be regretting her decision soon. He walked round to the Lieutenant quarters and could hear Hermann's voice ringing throughout the bunk room.
"Do you realize what danger you put yourself in? Do you even care?" Matt was sure he could hear sobbing, he rounded the corner to see Hermann standing inches from Gabby's face shouting at her. He could hear her mumbled reply, just as he made eye contact with the other firefighter.
"Here's what's going to happen" he yelled "I'm going to hand you over to our Lieutenant and I'm sure he will get this message home to you, once he is finished I want you out front and you are going to run drills until your body can't do them anymore. Am I understood?"
Matt saw Gabby nod her head.
"Then you are going to scrub every inch of this firehouse twice! And Dawson you pull another stunt like that on my watch and I swear it won't be just Matt laying into you. Am I clear?"
Again she nodded in response. Matt sensing Hermann had said his piece opened the small office door and stood behind his girl.
"Hermann can I come in"
"Yes Lieutenant, I'm all done here. Would you like a word with her?" Hermann said, he looked as hurt as Gabby was probably feeling.
"Yes I will be speaking to our candidate now and Boden wants her afterwards"
He heard Gabby gasp, she knew what that meant.
"Very well Lieutenant, I'm going outside to set up drills for her to do afterwards, she will be very sorry by the end of today" Matt nodded in agreement, it's how they would treat any other candidate, and Gabby was no exception. She knew how strict they were coming into this and she was far from innocent about how Boden ran his house, she'd been on the receiving end of his belt more times than any of them could count. Hermann left the room leaving Lieutenant and candidate stood staring at each other, as the door closed he heard Matt shout "God damn it candidate! What the hell is wrong with you?" He knew then he best get cover for Molly's for the rest of the week.
Gabby opened her mouth to speak and Matt waved her down "I don't want to hear it candidate, you defied a direct order again! You put yourself and the rest of the house in a extremely dangerous position. Why do you think you're above the orders I give?" Again Gabby opened her mouth to speak and was cut off "I said I don't want to hear it, you are going to listen. For the rest of the week you will run drills outside with Hermann until you can't run drills anymore, on call outs you do NOT leave his side. If you do, and I mean this candidate you will leave me no choice, I will have to take your badge!" Gabby gasped. She knew she was in trouble but to lose her job. That was worse than any spanking she could get.
"Now" Matt continued "candidate over my knee, let's really drill this message home, 25 with the brush" he could have used the belt, but knowing she'd had it twice in the past few days and would probably be getting it again when she reported to the chief he thought it wise to use something else. As soon as she was bent over the spanks started coming, CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK. The first 10 came in such quick succession Gabby didn't even have time to cry out before the next spank hit. Big drops of tears left her eyes, and her nose dripped onto her sleeve. This hurt like hell, but it wasn't just the spanking making her cry. She knew what she had done was wrong and she knew she'd made them mad, what she wasn't sure was if the rest of the team were mad at her too.
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK
"I mean it" CRACK "candidate" CRACK "you ever" CRACK "ever" CRACK "pull a stunt" CRACK "like that again" CRACK "I'll have your badge" CRACK CRACK CRACK "understood" CRACK
"Yes Lieutenant" Sobbed Gabby.
"Stand" ordered Casey "the chief wants you in his office, I suggest you go straight there and quickly. If I were you I wouldn't keep him waiting."
Gabby left the office sobbing heavily, she bumped into Shay who wrapped her arms around her "it'll be ok babe" Gabby was grateful of the comfort but knew she had to get to Boden's office.
"Thanks" she sobbed, "I've got to see the chief now though" she broke away from the hug and carried on walking.
"Good luck" Shay shouted, worried about her friend, her ass this morning looked bad how she was still walking was a miracle to her.
Gabby knocked on the chief's door and waited for him to wave her in.
"I was told to report here chief" She sobbed.
"Yes and by your face I'd say you've already been through a lot since getting back in house. Am I right?" He asked trying to judge how harshly to punish her from his side.
"Yes sir" she replied "Lieutenant Hermann has dealt with my in house punishment and Lieutenant Casey just gave me 25 with the brush. He also told me if I ever pull a stunt like that again he'll have my badge." She looked at the chief hoping he would forgo punishing her or at least tell her that there was no way she'd lose her badge. Instead he just said "well I think 10 from my belt will finish it off then Dawson."
Gabby gasped another 10 on her freshly spanked ass, and that was on top of an already very sore one anyway. She didn't move, hoping that he'd reconsider.
"Gabriela Dawson, I am warning you get over that desk now or we will double it"
That was the only warning she needed, 10 was going to be bad enough without causing herself more by being stubborn.
"That's better Dawson" Chief said "now this is going to be over quickly but it's going to be hard and painful, do you understand?"
"Yes sir"
"And why are we here Gabriela?"
"Because I didn't follow protocol or orders and went into a hot zone, endangering myself and my follow fireman."
"Very good, 10 it is."
With that chief Boden swung with all his might and SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT.
Boden didn't say a word, he waited for her to compose herself and stand up.
"Go clean yourself up, and then I'm pretty certain Hermann is arranging drills for you. You have 20 minutes to be out there, or you'll be back in here" he told her.
"Yes chief" she replied.
She left his office and headed straight to the Lieutenant quarters, her hand was on the handle before she realised she couldn't seek comfort from Matt, not here, not at work. She let go and started to walk away to find Shay, Severide or anyone she could seek comfort from.
"Baby" came the voice behind her.
She spun round to see Matt stood there.
"I can't take comfort from you at work Matt, we swore to each other we wouldn't bring it to work."
Matt took two huge steps towards her and wrapped his arms around her, scooping her up. "Yes you can, you've just taken a lot. In my office now candidate" he said stroking her back. He lay her down on her stomach on the bed gently, and sat next to her continuing to rub soothing circles on her back. "Baby, are you alright", she turned to look at him, rolled her eyes and put her head back down. "Baby what have I told you about eye rolling?" He asked, knowing full well there was no way he'd spank her at home as well.
"Sorry" she sobbed.
"I know" he said, grabbing the cream, "I'm going to apply some cream then you best get your face washed and back to work."
She nodded, she'd already been laying on his bed 10 minutes and she needed to be outside in 10 if she wasn't going to be on the receiving end of the chiefs belt again. She allowed Matt to finish applying the cream, before she gave him a quick kiss "I love you" she said "I really am sorry."
"I know" he replied "I love you too. Now back to work candidate."
With that she left his office to clean up and 5 minutes later found herself running around the courtyard with Hermann shouting orders at her.
